Among the four deputy wardens of the Nine Prisons, Henry Howard is undoubtedly the most prominent.

His nickname "The Butcher" clearly says a lot more than titles like "Dream Master", "Hive Demon", and "Aphrodite".

Henry's abilities were awakened when he was sixteen years old, when he was a troubled teenager who was seen by those around him as having serious violent tendencies; But after becoming a capable person, he has converged a lot.

This is not because he has lost interest in violence, on the contrary, because his pursuit of violence has escalated.

When he didn't have the ability, Henry often got into fights, and he would get hurt, bleed, and sometimes lose...... But for him, it is precisely because of the "risk of being defeated" that the fight is exciting.

However, after the ability awakened, this risk disappeared.

Although there is no shortage of people in this world who can get pleasure from bullying the weak, for Henry, it is to win against opponents who are disparity in strength and have no power to fight back...... There's no fun at all.

Even though Henry's abilities were not helpful in fighting at the paper level, because his physical fitness had surpassed the scope of ordinary people, he never fought with "ordinary people" again.

A year later, Henry gave up his studies, which he was not very good at, and chose to join the army.

He showed excellent combat talent during his training, and was also a capable person, so he was quickly integrated into the Federal Army's capable combat unit and participated in actual combat.

On the day he stepped onto the battlefield, Henry not only did not feel nervous and scared like most recruits, but also developed a feeling of being at home.

...... with the military and the capable Risking his life and fighting to the death is the best violent game he can play.

It is fortunate that a person can make a career out of their hobby.

In the more than ten years since then, Henry has risen step by step with his accumulated achievements on the battlefield, of course...... Because of his class, he was unable to rise to the top of the world...... But he doesn't mind that, he loves to work on the front lines.

Unfortunately, by the time he was thirty-four years old, his good days were over.

Because during a certain operation, he inadvertently offended a high-ranking commander, and the other party decided to fix him, so he asked someone to check his black material; I don't know if I don't check this, but I'm really shocked when I check it......

In the past ten years, Henry has often killed targets that should have been left alive due to the rise of killing in the process of carrying out tasks, and even has a black history of "killing the other party on impulse because a rather powerful enemy surrendered directly before fighting him".

These things can usually be suppressed at the grassroots level; After all, the situation on the battlefield is complicated, even if there is relevant video or audio data to keep evidence, as long as the person in charge of the operation helps you write a little bit when writing the report afterwards, it will be revealed...... Anyway, the reviewers will just look at the results, as long as the overall results are acceptable, no one will read all the contents of the report carefully.

However, when it came time to dig through the regulations, there would be some problems in the files of any soldier or officer, not to mention that Henry's problems were already quite serious.

He didn't expect that he had never been planted on the battlefield ended up in the hands of his own people......

Henry went court-martialed and was sentenced to five years; Fortunately, he went to a prison under the jurisdiction of the army, which was full of his own people, and he didn't suffer much, but after he came out, he couldn't get along in the federal army.

Fortunately, he had a few brothers of the same period who mixed well, and under the operation of these people, Henry, who was "very experienced in prison management", came to the "Nine Prisons" and became the deputy warden here.

This is another five years......

Actually, it's a good place, most of the time, Henry only needs to cross Erlang's legs, smoke a cigar in the office, look at the screen, doze off, and the duty time is over; As long as he is in good health, he will have no problem working until retirement.

As for his "violent tendencies", he has already smoothed out in the years he spent in prison......

Henry, 44 years old this year, has not tasted what it is like to "fight" in the true sense of the word for nearly a decade.

Until...... Today.

On January 15, Henry's duty was until six o'clock in the morning, and it was just after three o'clock in the morning, when he was most sleepy.

When the alarm sounded, he didn't take it too seriously, because in the past few years, there were also people who came to attack the Nine Prisons, and most of the guys who attacked from the front died outside the Abyss Wall, and the few who could attack inside would be wiped out in a very short time.

But today, the progress of this matter seems to be a bit demonic...... There was a call for help from the southern gate, which indicated that someone had broken through the plain covered by a high-intensity fire network from the front, and had begun to attack the gate.

Henry glanced at the surveillance and felt that something was wrong, so he walked out of the duty room on the "exit floor".

In the Nine Prisons, the wardens and deputy wardens can choose not to wear battle armor: first, wearing that will limit their combat power; Second, the five of them can regularly receive the "neutralizing agent" provided by the Federation, and as long as they take it on time, they will not be affected by the inhibition gas in the Nine Prisons.

Therefore, Henry took a federal army coat and ran out of the Nine Prisons at this time.

In the darkness of half past three in the morning, like a strong wind that swept through the night, he quickly passed through the ruins of Chernobyl and approached the southern gate of the wall.

Just as he came to the back of the door, the mutation ...... It happened.

The huge door, in the "squeak" sound of metal deformation, was actually broken open a gap, and it became wider and wider......

When Henry saw this, he immediately stood on his feet and raised his eyes to star.

Through the crack in the door that was gradually opening, he saw a black humanoid creature holding open a huge door with its arms.

Today's dark water, in order to facilitate daily activities, has maintained his human form at a height of 1.8 meters and a weight of 80 kilograms; It has a strong body, no hair all over it, and no sexual characteristics; Its skin resembles absorbent black leather, almost invisible in the dark, except for ...... His eyes, which were eyeless, glowed in the shadows.

"This is ......" Henry said to himself, looking at the dark water, "biological armor?" Ability mutation? Or mutants? ”

Henry was curious because he felt that even he could not open the huge alloy door with pure brute force, and he speculated that if the black creature in front of him was a capable person, it must be an extreme example of some kind of specialized power field.

Squeak-whew-

On the other side, after the initial gap was broken, Dark Water slowly squeezed his entire body into the crack of the door, and then pushed his palms to both sides with a better posture, and when the opened gap reached the limit of his arm span, he "extended" his arm outward, like a horizontal humanoid jack, and continued to push the door to both sides......

From Henry's point of view, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity to attack, and he couldn't afford to miss it.

The blood that had not flowed in his body for ten years, full of violent factors, was now flowing again, and the stimulation that could only be experienced in battle was like a lifetime, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

"I'm Deputy Prison Warden Howard, whoever it is, after hearing this, I turned off the weapon system inside the south gate, and gave me some light by the way." As Henry spoke, he took a step forward and ran forward......

The voice landed, his body had turned into a phantom, the cracking energy made the temperature around him rise, and in the blink of an eye, he had rushed to the dark water, his hands came out together, and a set of clean combos was completed in an instant with a speed far beyond the dynamic vision and reaction power of ordinary people.

Two seconds later, the unguarded dark water action froze, and then his body fell apart and fell to the ground like a pile of minced flesh stacked on top of each other.

This damage...... It's not an effect from an ability, it's just a normal unarmed attack; Of course, it can't be said that it has nothing to do with the ability, because ordinary people can't hit this kind of damage with their hands.

Henry's ability is called "Passage to the Cave"; Not to mention compared with those conceptual and compound abilities, even if it is compared with ordinary outward abilities, his ability is too weak to work.

Specifically, at the paper level, the effect of this ability is to allow him to see through the disassembly methods of some man-made objects, such as an alarm clock, a mobile phone, and other small things, of course...... It's just a "dismantling method", and he can't see how to put it back; And when it comes to merging, he can see through the dismantling of precision machinery and large objects (such as manned airliners and destroyers); When he reached the power level, he began to see the dismantling methods of some of the "monolithic forms", including "creatures".

Although living things do not have many distinct, open "joints" like machines, in Henry's eyes, human joints and organs have a very easy way to twist or break up at will—just like a person who cooks a lot of food knows how to cut a piece of meat to cut it more easily, and how to quickly and effectively break down a chicken, a fish, etc.

In short, Henry's ability is that he can instantly understand how to dismantle any living or dead thing at a glance, but when it comes to dismantling, it still has to be dismantled with his hands.

Although the effect of "Hidden Cave Small" is weak, and at first glance it seems that only demolition teams and cooks can use it, "weak" is sometimes an advantage - unlike those abilities that have complex and significant effects, simple and weak abilities are very easy to improve.

It only took a few years for Henry to rise from paper level to strong level, and in the more than ten years of fighting on the battlefield, he used this ability in actual combat, combined with his continuous cultivation of physical strength and energy use power, he successfully broke through the ability to the fierce level.

Ten years earlier, Henry had been a rare opponent in hand-to-hand combat. As long as he makes a move, he will often cause his opponent to have multiple fractures and severed limbs, which are so serious that they are directly broken into pieces of flesh, or the appearance is intact, but the inside is shattered and the internal organs are broken.

At the moment, of course, Henry will not show mercy to an enemy like Dark Water, and he has no intention of keeping him alive from the beginning.

Pity...... This kind of attack is meaningless to Darkwater.

Buzz - Buzz -

Just as Henry was "shredding" the dark water, there were several roars of large motors starting in the distance.

Then, several columns of searchlights shot out from several nearby high points, and they all shone on the south gate.

Henry didn't know it...... This lamp was turned on by Lance.

At this time, inside the Nine Prisons, Lance had completely suppressed the side of the male prison of the "Kaiquan Examination"; He took over the surveillance room and released all the prisoners on this level, and the prison guards who had not had time to evacuate the area had already been taken care of by the prisoners.

When Henry gave an order with the communicator, he happened to be heard by Lance in the monitoring room, Lance looked at the situation at the gate through the night vision probe, smiled and repeated Henry's sentence "No matter who it is", and then said to himself: "Then I will do what you want." Then he did as Henry had ordered.

Henry's original intention in giving this order was to prevent accidental injury to himself by the weapon system, and secondly, to make it easier for him to see things...... Although the night vision ability of the fierce ability is definitely not bad, after all, it is not clear in the light.

Unexpectedly, at this time, it will help the reverse cross to pave the way.

"It's so bright, the lighting brooch can be turned off." When the light came, Sakaki Muxian, who happened to walk down the shuttle, was caught off guard and covered his eyes with his hand.

"No, no, no, this is the light sha! Our group of people is now in the prime of yang, and if we are photographed like this, we will burst blood vessels at least and have a fire disaster at worst, so I think we will stay on the shuttle...... Hey, hey, hey......" Before Meng Yuhan, who was standing at the door of the cabin, finished speaking, he was kicked out by Kai Jiuyi.

Kai Jiu was still impatient when he kicked him: "Don't talk nonsense, you pretend to be a ghost, don't block the door!" ”

Meng Yuhan was also unconvinced, and turned around and said, "Hey! You stupid person, poor and kind words to persuade you, but you don't know good intentions, forget it, you can go if you want, I will go back to the shuttle alone......"

He was halfway through this sentence when he was interrupted by Zilin, who walked off the shuttle, "You think beautifully, and you still have something to do,"

As he spoke, Zilin had already hooked Meng Yuhan's shoulders and dragged him towards the gate.

And the last one to get off the shuttle was Che Wuchen, who didn't say a word.

In this group, only the "gun ghost" K stayed on the shuttle...... According to the plan, after everyone has entered, K will park the shuttle in the middle of the open door, which will prevent the door from being closed again.

"These guys...... It's too light, think it's an outing? Henry saw a few people walking towards the crack in the door from ten meters away, and a faint anger rose in his heart.

As he spoke, his gaze moved to the ground in front of him.

Just now, after the dark water was torn into black pieces and landed, it immediately turned into a puddle of black liquid, and now, after a gap of more than ten seconds, this puddle of liquid gathered again, bulged, and quickly reshaped into an intact human form.

This scene is like the reorganization of a liquid robot that can't be killed in a classic movie, and Henry couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it: "And this guy...... What the hell is going on? It has great power and can be reborn...... Could it be a god physique above the fierce level? ”

Just as he hesitated, the recovered dark water suddenly turned his head and locked his gaze on his face.

In the silence, the dark water ...... Shot.
