XXV. Prison Break

Cold, dark, damp.

These three words are a very apt way to describe this space.

Of course, the place is cold and damp for sure, but the darkness is not complete, because the place is not completely invisible either.

There is candlelight in this place, and the walls are covered with a circle of candles, so it is dark only where the candlelight does not shine.

In the center of the candlelit place, there was a person, this person was bowed his head, half-kneeling on the ground, and there was a Taishi chair in front of him, but this Taishi chair was facing away from him.

The candlelight was dim, and the man had his head bowed, and his face was hard to see.

And this man suddenly raised his head, a round face appeared in the candlelight, and he also spoke, speaking to the Taishi chair with his back to him: "'Heavenly Emperor', there is news from the 'Canary'. ”

It is unbelievable that the Taishi chair is also talking, no, it is not the Taishi chair talking, it is a person sitting on the Taishi chair talking, an invisible person, a very vicissitudes of voice, he said: "I hope that the 'Suzaku' is good news, I have heard too much bad news recently." ”

The person on the Taishi's chair talks about "Vermilion Bird" and the round-faced man talks about "Canary" is actually a person, but the way the two people are called is different.

"It's not good news, but it's not too bad news, at least it's progress." The round-faced man replied vaguely.

"Tell me about it." The "Emperor of Heaven" behind the Taishi's chair wanted to know what kind of news it was.

"The 'Emperor of Heaven' arranged the 'Canary' to be an undercover agent in the Ministry of State Security, didn't he always want to inquire about the news of 'Satan'? Last time, the 'Canary' had already found out that 'Satan' was being held by the United States in their most secret island prison, 'Alcatraz', but recently the intelligence personnel of the Ministry of State Security in the United States have come back with new information, and a major incident has happened to the United States' 'Alcatraz', and even the Pentagon has exploded and is making every effort to investigate the matter. The round-faced man recounted in detail.

But the "Emperor of Heaven" thought that the round-faced man was a little procrastinating, so he urged: "'Xuanwu', how many times have I told you, when talking about things, try to focus on the key points, you are too proud of your wisdom, so you always like to dramatize things when talking about things, you are a problem, you have to change." ”

"The 'Emperor of Heaven' is taught." "Xuanwu" lowered his head, very ashamed.

"Let's go on, what's going on on Alcatraz?"

"Alcatraz is gone." Although there are only six words, "Xuanwu" said these six words very solemnly.

"What does it mean to be gone? Is the island gone? The "Heavenly Emperor" did not understand what "Xuanwu" meant at all.

"The island is still there, the prison is still there, but the people on the island are gone."

"People are gone? Do you mean 'Satan'? The "Emperor of Heaven" was a little anxious, and every time he mentioned "Satan", he was prone to be anxious.

"Not only 'Satan', but also other criminals have disappeared, even the prison guards and prison administrators on the island have all disappeared, and 'Alcatraz' has now become an empty island."

"Sky Island? The world's tightest prison is now an empty island? When the "Emperor of Heaven" heard this shocking news, he was indeed shocked.

"Yes, Alcatraz has become an empty island, and all the people on the island have been emptied overnight, as if there had never been a person on the island." "Xuanwu" is said as if it were a supernatural event, but it is a fact, an indisputable fact.

"What does the U.S. side think about this?" The "Emperor of Heaven" felt that these were sporadic news, and he hoped that there would be a more accurate statement.

"The 'canary' said that the Pentagon believes that this is an unprecedented prison escape, and that it is a large-scale prison escape that is silent, without resistance, without prior information, and they do not know how the prison criminals did it." "Xuanwu" himself was very confused, such an escape from prison was indeed beyond people's imagination.

"This must be Satan's doing, and only he will have the means to do this." From the voice of the "Heavenly Emperor", I heard a trace of his fear of "Satan", it seems that he has also suffered some losses from "Satan" before, "'Xuanwu', you are the smartest one among my subordinates, what do you think of the 'Alcatraz' prison escape incident?" ”

"Xuanwu" paused, as if thinking about this matter, and only after a long time did he come to the conclusion: "This incident, it is difficult to explain clearly, I always feel that if it were me, I would not be able to achieve a silent prison escape, and it is this kind of large-scale collective prison escape without leaving a trace, I have no way to do it, unless I ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless I buy off most of the prison staff, and this amount must directly suppress those staff who can't be bought, otherwise it's difficult for you to erase the existence of those staff who can't be bought, only with the cooperation of those staff, it is possible to achieve a silent prison escape, but to buy off almost all the staff, how easy it is, how much financial and material resources it takes, I still don't think this is a possible thing, so, I don't know how 'Satan' did it." "Xuanwu" has always been very confident in his IQ, confident to the point of being a little proud, but even he can't think of how to plan this huge prison escape, if he can't do it, he doesn't think that there are still people in this world who can do it, because he never thinks that there are other people in this world who can be smarter than him, even Wei Renwu, who is known as "Detective", in his opinion, is at most on par with him.

"That's right, it's like you say." Although "Xuanwu" himself did not feel that he had said any brilliant opinions, the "Emperor of Heaven" suddenly opened his mind.

"Did I say anything? The subordinates didn't quite understand, and asked the 'Emperor of Heaven' to explain their doubts. "Xuanwu" looked confused.

"You said 'Satan' bought off almost all the prison staff."

"That's what I said, but I've also said that it's impossible to do it, 'Satan' as a prisoner, he doesn't have the economic strength to do this." "Xuanwu" overturned what he said about this possibility.

"No, 'Satan' doesn't need to spend money at all to do this."

"The subordinates don't understand, don't spend money, so how can he do it?"

"Do you know why 'Satan' is called 'Satan'?"

"My subordinates don't know."

"What 'Satan' is best at is to use people's desires to control others, brainwash them, and make them work for themselves, and his ability is like 'Satan' in the Bible, so he is called 'Satan'." The "Emperor of Heaven" seems to know this "Satan" very well, and it seems that there must have been a lot of stories between the two.

"What does 'Emperor of Heaven' mean is that 'Satan' is able to control the minds of prison staff and involve them in the escape?" "Xuanwu" still doesn't believe that there are people who can completely control others, this is like a hypnosis master, and it is also the kind of hypnotic Dafa that can be hypnotized collectively.

"Yes, he can definitely do it, he is such a character, which is why I spent so much effort to create this 'Fengshen Society' and accept you, just hoping to lead you to deal with him one day." It seems that there is more than a story between the "Emperor of Heaven" and "Satan", and there should be a deep hatred between them.

In addition, the "Fengshen Society" mentioned by the "Emperor of Heaven" is a dark terrorist organization under his rule, and it is also the most dangerous criminal organization in China, which has fought with Wei Renwu countless times, and the "Fengshen Society" has four halls under the rule, "Qinglong Hall", "White Tiger Hall", "Vermilion Bird Hall", "Xuanwu Hall", and the hall masters of the four halls are "Qinglong", "White Tiger", "Vermilion Bird", "Xuanwu", and the "Xuanwu" in front of him is the hall master of the "Xuanwu Hall", and it is also the most powerful assistant under the "Emperor of Heaven". The second person above 10,000 people under one person is the think tank of the "Fengshen Society".

Wei Renwu and the "Fengshen Society" are old rivals, he once personally took out the "White Tiger Hall" of the "Fengshen Society", grabbed the "White Tiger", and also fought with the "Xuanwu" in the game of wit, these stories will not be told much here, for details, see another novel by the author of this book "Strange Detective Case".

"For the 'Emperor of Heaven' to pay so much attention, this 'Satan' must be extraordinary, but since he has such an ability, he can escape from prison at any time, why now? Does this time period have any special significance for him? "Xuanwu" can't figure it out even if he wants to break his head.

"'Satan' is an unpredictable person, first of all, he was caught by the Americans, it was enough to surprise me, with his ability, no one in this world could catch him, but he was caught, and he was locked up in the strictest prison in the world, and now he escaped with the whole prison, but I was not so surprised, I always felt that he was arrested on purpose, but what his purpose was, I can't figure it out, the only thing I can understand is that since he has escaped' Alcatraz', then he will definitely come back to China, we must be cautious, after all, 'Satan' will not come back alone this time, he is coming back with a prison army, and many major events will definitely happen in China in the future, we must be prepared to deal with it. The "Emperor of Heaven" very calmly analyzes the changes that the return of "Satan" may trigger.

"The subordinates will definitely make the subordinates fully prepared."

"In addition, you should pay more attention to the 'Suzaku' side, she is better informed than us, once she finds out the whereabouts of 'Satan', she will definitely let her report it immediately."

"Xuanwu" nodded: "The subordinates will do it immediately." ”
