"Eighty thousand coins can stay here for a while, but things have to be verified with Mester first. Firefly, you buy some groceries, and then wait for me to come back in the apartment, I have some things to take care of. ”

Naturally, it was impossible to carry 80,000 coins on his body, but through a silver ticket similar to an ancient time, a total of eight pieces of paper marked with the insignia of the prison realm, each with a face value of 10,000. Zhang Chen handed everything over to Worm Firefly for safekeeping, and he quickly walked towards the core of the prison realm.

"It's such a delicate barrier, it takes a lot of energy for me to break it."

The top room of a pure white building resembling a lighthouse in the center of the prison realm is the office of the warden, who is responsible for the overall situation of the prison realm for each term. It just made Zhang Chen a little curious, what the other floors of this building were used for.

When Zhang Chen arrived at the bottom of the lighthouse, he was immediately stopped by the guards at the door.

"Idlers and others are not allowed to enter, aren't you a newcomer who just came to the prison world a few days ago? Hurry up and get out. ”

The two guards have strong strength to be qualified to stand here to take on this position, and one of them, Zhang Chen, also knows that the other party is the tall and mighty prison envoy who led everyone to the registration department when Zhang Chen and his party entered the prison world.

"I was invited here by the Warden of Mestre." Zhang Chen said more respectfully.

"You little sergeant, don't stir things up here. Only when the rank reaches the rank of lieutenant general will the warden receive him personally. "When this guard saw Zhang Chen today, the other party's overall momentum was completely different from the weakness he felt when he came to Zero on the first day.

Zhang Chen naturally didn't break in, but frowned, this woman took the initiative to let herself come over but didn't give an explanation.

However, at this time, a voice seemed to reach the ears of the two guards, and the faces of the two changed greatly, and one of them who was familiar with Zhang Chen immediately made a respectful gesture of asking for instructions, allowing Zhang Chen to follow him into the building.

"Please forgive me for being a little offensive. After all, everyone here is judged by the military rank. You can go directly to the place of the wardener through the elevator in front, please. ”

"It's fine."

Zhang Chen smiled slightly and walked up to the semi-spherical lifting device, the inside of the lifting room did not have any control buttons, but sensed that after Zhang Chen entered, he scanned Zhang Chen's body and then ascended to the corresponding floor.

The elevator opened, and the room displayed in front of Zhang Chen was not brightly lit as he imagined. And it's not similar to the high-level office assigned by General Mo Qing in the Hanging City.

The interior of the room, which is not very large, is dimly lit, and the surrounding walls emit a dark blue glow of very low brightness.

At the end of the room, a woman with long hair falling down to her chest sat on a large large bed.

Zhang Chen took three steps forward before realizing that the height of this clock tower was nearly 100 meters, and the current position should be in the middle of the tower. This is a special room inside, and it seems that it should be the sleeping room of the Captain Mestre.

However, the scene in front of me does not seem to be much different from a haunted house.

"The room set up for the prison captain has the highest level of security, no one can know about the conversation here, and I don't speak Chinese very well. Zhang Chen, please sit down, there is nothing to entertain, please forgive me. ”

The lips under the black hair are closed one by one. Some depressed voices echoed in the room, and at the same time, a pile of black viscous substance mixed with ghostly qi appeared under Zhang Chen's body, gathering to form a cold black round stool that matched Zhang Chen's height.

"You only have the right to know what you have seen if you reach the level of a prison captain, but Zhang Chen has been recognized by Lan Miao, and he is actually a member of the prison captain, so I should have told you about it earlier, and I don't have to cause everyone to misunderstand."

"There's no misconception, when I learned about this mode of operation of the prison envoys. At first, I thought you were doing this a bit too much. But think about it a little bit, if you don't do it that way. I'm afraid that the entire system of operation of the prison envoy will completely collapse in a few hundred years, and I can barely accept it now. ”

"Zhang Chen, you are very interesting."

The woman sitting on the bed turned her head around, and her blue eyes under her black hair looked at Zhang Chen.

"The current situation of our prison envoys is very bad, counting the two people in your Huaxia Kingdom who are being suppressed and sealed in prison, there are only ten prison captains in total. And this does not exist in it, along with a prison governor. We are in a trough zone, and we need to get a prison guard with the potential to become a prison governor in a short period of time. ”

"In addition, once the prison envoy reaches the prison level, most of them can live up to 500 years, and it is not a problem for the prison master to live for a thousand years. This is a waste of resources on people who have no potential. ”

Explanation for the woman in front of you. Zhang Chen immediately picked up his words:

"So, for these prison envoys who don't have high potential and don't have much talent, lure them to the front line of Zero, and arrange these secret means to let them die within the three-year period. If the prison envoy can survive, he can barely have some potential and can continue to use it. ”

The woman nodded without denial: "You're right...... Food and space are limited, and there is no need to feed these prison envoys who will have no use for the development of the prison envoys in the future. Originally, the opportunity for their regeneration was given to them in prison, and since there was no contribution value, recycling was a matter of course. ”

"But don't you think there's no humanity in doing so?" Zhang Chen asked rhetorically.

"Humanity? Right...... I've read your profile, and you're a human transplanter, and you're half-human. The real prison envoys belong to the prison creatures, and there is no relationship between human beings, and the so-called human nature naturally does not exist. What we prison envoys need to do is maintain stability between the world and the prison, and that's it. ”

"The whole hell is the final crucible, right? Put all the seemingly hopeless prison envoys in this extremely harsh environment, and let them die slowly. I don't really like this place. ”

"It has nothing to do with whether you like it or not, there are also those in the prison captain who disagree. However, the rules of the prison world have been set for hundreds of years, and they are appointed by a prison governor, and it is not our turn to change them. I'm telling you this privately, because I think you're very interesting, and you might be able to do me a favor. ”

Zhang Chen did not take a definite stance towards the woman in front of him, after all, the shady scenes inside the prison envoy were not planned by this woman.

"How can you help?"

"The so-called 'artifact material' is actually real and fabricated. In fact, it is not just an artifact material, but a broken artifact. ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Chen didn't know what the other party wanted to express, if there was really such a thing, with this woman's strength and understanding of Zero, it would definitely be more convenient to get the item than himself.

"The opening of the Hell Realm is not as easy as you think, and you have seen the enchantment that hangs over the entire Hell Realm. Zero is as repulsive as an invader to the prison envoys, and even if all of us prison guards join forces, we can't create such a huge barrier that can permanently block the environment of Zero Room. ”

"Do you mean that the Prison Realm was built by the Prison Governor as you said earlier?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Yes, the Prison Governor carved out land for the Prison Envoy in Zero, and in fact had the ambition to continue to expand the land area in Zero from the beginning. But later, I found an indisputable fact, the first condition for wanting to gain a foothold in the zero room and open up a great realm is 'Wang Ge', but such a thing does not recognize the existence of our prison envoys. ”

"Eventually, under the obstacle of this irreversible fact, the ambitions of the past slowly faded, and the place gradually evolved into a 'garbage dump' for the recovery of prisoners with no potential. But in the end, the one thing that was needed was that the Prison Governor who built it all died during a prison guard. ”

"Prison Governor, dead?" Zhang Chen was shocked.

"It's very simple, if the Nightmare of Zero comes to the prison to build its own territory, how do you think our prison envoys will react? At that time, Azathos was not included in the zero room, and five apostles came to forcibly wipe out the prison realm, and finally the prison governor was suppressed by the zero environment, killing one of the apostles, seriously injuring the other four, and defeating the enemy. ”

Eventually, however, the Governor returned from a serious injury, and before he died, he completed a very large project, so that he was able to maintain the existence of the prison realm. What follows is highly classified, and I need you to swear by your soul not to divulge it. ”

The woman in front of her got up from the edge of the bed and slowly walked towards Zhang Chen's location.

"Does this have anything to do with what you said you said about needing my help, and the so-called mutilated artifact?"

"Relevant."

"Okay, I, Zhang Chen, swear by my soul, if the slightest leakage of the information I know next, I will be scattered."

"Is that okay?"

The woman named Mester walked barefoot in front of Zhang Chen and sat down, this was the first time Zhang Chen had seen this uneasy woman up close, but he didn't expect that under the thick black hair, she had a delicate face.

"The Reverse Demon Canyon you went to is one of the four seals left by this senior, but after our follow-up processing, it became like this, and there are also three seals that work together to keep the prison realm from being violated by the outside world. However, as the core location of the four seals, there is a secret room directly below the entire prison boundary. ”

"In the secret room, there is an artifact used by this prison governor during his lifetime, but it was badly broken in the battle with the five apostles."

"I see...... The White Desert I came to at the beginning must have been one of the seals, right? Don't know what I need help with? ”

"The warden's chamber has a powerful seal left by itself, and the warden is not allowed to enter."

The woman said and glanced at Zhang Chen seriously at this time, "A prison master needs to enter it and take out the mutilated artifact inside." (To be continued.) )
