Chapter 1: Abyss Prison
Tartarus Submarine Prison. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is a spherical submarine fortress made of high-strength special alloys, suspended in the Yarna Trench, the lowest point in the world, at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters. The world's tightest undersea prison has almost no chance of contact with the outside world, except for completely irregular supplies of living supplies.
The prison contains a total of 42 convicts, all of whom are serving life sentences. Want to jailbreak? Okay, first you have to deal with the prison guards who are ten times more numerous than the prisoners, and then you have to find a way to destroy the special alloy walls that can withstand thousands of atmospheres...... Well, even if you're gifted enough to escape and you're welcome to the lowest point in the world, you'll be greeted by pitch black, cold, suffocating, and ultra-high pressure that can squash a tank......
Such an impossible prison was named after Tartarus, the god of the abyss in Greek mythology, and for this reason, it was also called the Abyss Prison.
And today, the world's tightest abyss prison has ushered in an uninvited guest.
"You're going to visit Prisoner Zero?" In the warden's office, Warden Calledes looked at the application handed over by the Oriental girl in front of him and raised his eyebrows.
"I ...... Knowing that this request is a bit presumptuous...... the girl looked a little cramped: "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Yin Shuang, and I am a third-level agent of the International Association of Extraordinary People...... This request for a visit was also issued by the Heterogeneous Countermeasures Office of the Association of Alien Persons......"
"I saw it!" Warden Caledes flipped through the red stamp on the last page of the application: "And the application also mentions that if you judge that prisoner 0 is helpful, you can decide to release him on bail?" ”
"This ...... Truly! Yin Shuang nodded.
"How old are you?" The warden put down the application, raised his hand and took out the seal from the drawer, and asked, "Are you twenty years old?" ”
"Nineteen ......" Yin Shuang replied, "Is there any problem?" ”
"No ......" Warden Lisuo stamped the official seal of the prison and his own name stamp on the approval column of the application: "It's just a little admired, you entered the Association of Aliens at a young age, and became a third-level agent, if you are not the president, then you must have a very strong ability, right?" ”
As he spoke, he threw the covered application in front of Yin Shuang: "It's okay, let's visit!" As he spoke, he pressed the intercom on his desk: "Lilith, come to my office......"
Yin Shuang still didn't react: "That's it?" ”
The warden smiled: "I know you don't know the way, I'll arrange for someone to take you there." As he spoke, the hatch opened, and a tall blonde woman in a fitting uniform entered.
"That's not what I meant......" Yin Shuang waved his hand: "It's just that I heard that this is the strictest prison in the world, and the most vicious prisoners are held, but I didn't expect the approval procedures to be so simple......"
"For other prisoners, it does need to be closely reviewed...... warden spread his hands: "But Zero doesn't need it, he was originally deposited by the Alien Association with us, you can take it away at any time if you need it!" With that, he handed the application to Lilith, the blonde who had just come in, and gave him a few words. Yin Shuang left the office under the guidance of Lilith.
The cold corridor echoed with the sound of military boots stepping on the metal floor, and the oppressive and solemn atmosphere here made Yin Shuang feel a little uncomfortable, and he didn't say a word, just followed quietly.
Lilith looked at the application, "This says you have encountered a special xenomorph disorder and need Zero's help?" Can you tell me about it? ”
"Well...... this"
"If it comes to secrecy, forget it, I'll just ask......" Lilith laughed.
"That's not a secret...... Yin Shuang organized the language: "Last week, the Alien Warrior Association received a report that an uncontrolled special xenomorph appeared on the island, which has caused more than ten deaths. The association arranged for my group to investigate the matter. But as soon as we came into contact with that xenomorph, we were hit hard, and I was the only one in the team of six who survived. Everyone else was wiped out in an instant by that xenomorph......"
"An xenomorph with a lot of attack power?"
Yin Shuang nodded: "Fourth-level speed, fifth-level attack power, ordinary agents don't even have time to react, they will be killed by it in an instant...... To be honest, even I didn't see each other's appearance clearly...... As such, this xenomorph has also been assessed by the Association as an S-Class hazard. ”
"S-class? That's already a demon! Lilith said, "That's why you need Zero's power?" ”
Yin Shuang nodded: "The association has issued a maximum wanted warrant and summoned several four- to five-star xenohunters to go and crusade against this monster. However, the current candidates are still lacking a tank with strong defense and can withstand xenomorph attacks, so ......"
"I see...... Lilith smiled slightly, "Then Zero is really a suitable candidate!" ”
While talking, the two came to the core of the prison, the cage area where the prisoners are held, and after Lilith's identity verification, the three gates were opened one after another, and the two of them went through disinfection, X-ray scanning, dangerous goods detection and inspection by the prison guards with special abilities, and only after confirming that there was no problem, they walked into the cage area.
Somewhat different from what Yin Shuang had imagined, the cage area was not dark and cold, on the contrary, it was unusually spacious and bright, and the iron cages on both sides of the corridor were not iron cages, but completely transparent glass compartments.
"Are you worried about the safety of your cell?" Lilith looked at Yin Shuang's worried expression and explained, "People always subconsciously feel that transparent things are unreliable, but in fact, what traps prisoners here is composite bulletproof glass that is more than 500mm thick, which is stronger than a steel cage. Each room is equipped with high-powered fluorescent lights, monitoring probes and refrigerant vents, which can be used to grasp the movements of criminals and crack down on prisoners who try to escape! ”
"As for the fully transparent design, it creates a cell with no dead ends. By the way, the glass is one-way transparent, so you can't see the outside from the inside of the cell......"
Yin Shuang nodded, some of the prisoners here were sleeping, some were doing push-ups, and all of them were like no one around.
"But that person ......" Suddenly, Yin Shuang found an anomaly, it was an unusually thin man, his skinny body seemed to fall apart at the touch of it, but a pair of eyes were unusually bright, following the footsteps of Yin Shuang and Lilith, and finding that Yin Shuang was pointing at him, the man also showed a smile and nodded.
"He's an exception!" Lilith smiled: "Clairvoyant Suzuki Hayabusa, not to mention a small piece of glass, the whole prison can't hide his eyes." But he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't make any trouble. ”
"I know that he, a fifth-level perception alien, this kind of master is also locked up here?"
"It's not just him!" Lilith smiled: "Ninety percent of the prisoners here are aliens, after all, they don't have some means, and they are not qualified to be locked up here!" ”
As they spoke, the two walked through the layers of cells to the innermost room...... Unlike the others, this cell is the most traditional steel cell, with reinforced concrete walls and a large iron door in the middle.
"It's Zero who is being held here!" As she spoke, Lilith took out a rusty key and inserted it into the keyhole on the iron door......
"Wait......" Yin Shuang shouted, "Are you just opening it like that?" What protection is not needed? ”
Lilith smiled, "Don't worry, Zero is fine!" With that, she turned the handle of the key, clicked the door open, and squeaked open the iron door.
The moment the iron door opened, a loud snoring sound came from inside.
"Purr ......"
What greeted Yin Shuang's eyes was a huge cell with hundreds of square meters, different from other monotonous places, it looked like a huge single room, with beds, dining tables, sofas, chairs, and the decoration was antique, quite elegant, and even the toilet was made of good wood.
There are still uncleaned plates, cups and bowls on the table, and it can be seen from the residual soup that it seems that today it seems to be steak with red wine, and there is a faint smell of smoke in the room, which should be a good cigar......
In addition to these necessities, the most eye-catching thing in the house is the huge bookshelves, which cover almost two walls, and the collection of books on them is thousands, most of them are ancient Chinese classics, and some are precious thread-bound books. In the middle of the two sets of bookshelves, there is also a table case, on which are placed the four treasures of the study, covered with rice paper, and painted with ink paintings, from figures to flowers, birds, landscapes. But from Yin Shuang's unprofessional point of view, the painting is only so-so......
Is this really a prison, in addition to not being able to enter and exit freely, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the study of a certain rich man......
And the owner of this cell, who was now shirtless and wearing only a pair of boxers, was lying on the bed, with a book on his face, and one foot hanging on the ground, sleeping soundly......
That's him? Yin Shuang looked at the man on the bed a little strangely, although he couldn't see his face, but judging from his figure and skin, he should be very young, about one meter tall and in his early seventies, and his physique was very strong.
Lily walked over unceremoniously, grabbed the book covering his face, and looked at the title: "Deep Palace Resentful Concubine...... It's this kind of old-fashioned little yellow book again......" she said, showing a look of dissatisfaction, and lifted the thick yellow book high, slammed it down, and slashed it on the man's face.
"Get up, someone is coming to visit you!"
"I'm ......" The man sat up, rubbed his eyes, saw Lilith, and showed a confused smile: "Yo, little Lily, I dreamed of you again, come, let my brother have a ......" said that, he pounced on Lilith......
"You give it to me...... Sober up! Lilith punched the man in the face, and the man's back slammed into the bed, and sawdust flew wildly......
