Chapter 320
Flessisco Michael Cassan turned pale and let go of his hand. Captain White seemed curious www.biquge.info "We're here, we can reach that prison." Why don't you go up and see what you know? Chances are, most of us have this chance in our lifetimes. The Japanese nodded frequently, and kept saying, "Yes, yes......" The two turned their heads to look at the captain and then at the guide, looking very excited. The tour guide also seemed to be embarrassed, she tied her scarlet hair into a ponytail and replied with a smile: "That's it...... It's already been violated. We don't have an asteroid prison stop on our plans. ”
The captain said happily: "The rules have been violated, why don't you just let us be satisfied?" "I will never forget it, I will never forget it!" Said the Japanese. The tour guide smiled reluctantly, she definitely didn't expect that she had planned to please the travelers, but she would get herself into trouble. "If the company had known, they might have fired us......" "Ah, I see. Of course, there is a price for you to take such a risk. The black Adan turned to the tourist: "If you want to go up and have a look, you have to show a little sincerity, right?" I suggest - let's each go out again...... It's a tenth of the price of this trip, right? "Many of the tourists have already been moved by him.
The tour guide's face flushed. She privately calculated that twenty Martian gold coins each—one hundred and eight visitors, as the man said—would be a considerable sum. Even if it is divided equally between the three of them, the co-ointment, the security guard, and himself, it is considerable. She settled down and said, "Of course, if everyone insists...... I'm going to talk to the first mate. There was a cheer from the tourists. Miss Guide smiled mysteriously at Captain White, then turned and stepped into the cockpit. Fleisisco looked at Captain White in shock: "You guy, what's going on in your head?" He swallowed the latter words: "Back then, the 'Hangyu' No. 2 fleet had countless battles in space with the female demon king known as the 'Dead Planet' (an extraterrestrial planet - a male and female double-faced snake-body winged creature...... Have you had enough of those three years of suffering? ”
"Let the past pass forever......," Captain White reached over and asked for money affectionately, "Old fellow, take out your share of the money." Fleisisco seemed to be forced by him to think. He took out the ticket for twenty gold coins and placed it heavily in the captain's hand. The Japanese are also actively helping to collect money. He did a good job, and it didn't take long to collect a full handful of money. When the tour guide came out and announced that the ship's mate had agreed to White's suggestion, everyone cheered again. White and the Japanese gave the money they had collected to the guide. Miss Guide smiled charmingly and coquettishly, and winked at Captain White. Fleisisco could never have dreamed that an old bachelor like White—he meant a space adventurer like Captain White—would attract the attention of a strange woman, even if it was an old lady with a pleated face. This is not the time to discuss this. Fleisisco always felt that White and Don Quixote were hiding something from him. This tour is really awkward. Thinking about it, Fleisisco broke out in a cold sweat - did they understand something? No! They won't know! He gritted his teeth, and his bald top was shining a little.
The ship is approaching the asteroid prison on its sideboard. The "Human Bone Mill", which seemed to glow with blue starlight in the depths of space, was getting closer and closer, and it was getting bigger and bigger to make people oppressive. A tourist found something, and he asked curiously, "What's that?" Those door-like things? He pointed to the thigh bone, with a small moon-shaped doorway with a Sky-Swallowing Stone Beast at each end. There are about ten of them at each end. The guide said, "Oh, that's the emergency entrance. "Emergency entrances?" Adam, the black man, repeated. The guide explains: "The cells are built at both ends of the boulder. In addition to each of them having a door leading to the inner atrium, they also have a door that leads to the outside, which is the emergency entrance. This door is usually not used, and rescuers only enter and exit through this door when the prisoner is sick or other emergencies occur. Fleisisco's face was already sweating. He looked at Captain White, who was very calm.
"Where do we get in from?" He was even interested in asking questions. The guide said, "We entered through the main entrance in the middle of the boulder. The ship slowly leaned against the boulder, spinning in sync with it. Looking out of the porthole, the stone prison that the former "Dead Planet" witch king had cleverly built - it was still and motionless. Flessisko faced the prison gates right – hard, cold, and ice-covered cracks in the rock, tightly closed. He bowed his head. The ship's side extended to the pair and was firmly attached to the prison gate. The tour guide said, "Everyone is ready, the security guard and I will lead you in......"
The Japanese say, "We...... We don't have to wear protective clothing? The tour guide smiled and said, "It's not necessary." There's oxygen in it. Watching the tourists rush into the docking pipe, Flesisko suddenly whispered, "I'm not going, I'm not going!" Captain White put his ear to him and said, "Don't be too different." "White!" Flessisko struggled and said, "You...... Do you really want to go? "He tried to avoid talking about the incident from years ago." Of course. "Captain White and Don Quixote helped Flessisco up, one left and one right." People who have never done 'bad things' will not be afraid of prison," the captain said to the guide with a smile, "Are you right? The tour guide joked, "That's right." This gentleman, you must have done something 'bad'......" Flesisko protested: "Nonsense! I'm just getting old, I'm afraid I'm uncomfortable......" he said as he stepped out of the ship with Captain White and Don Quixote. They certainly don't know yet, they can't possibly know...... He thought. The prison door swirled open, revealing a black hole inside. Most people were subdued at this point. They didn't dare to speak, so they quietly climbed in, grabbed the handrail of the iron ladder inside, and slowly climbed to both ends. All visitors were divided into two groups, led by a guide and a security guard, to visit the honeycomb-like cells on both sides. The iron ladder extends into the depths of the passage like a black well, and the black well seems to be bottomless, making people dizzy. Flessisko was a little glad that Adan and the Japanese weren't in this group. He was caught between Captain White and Don Quixote, feeling a little out of breath. The air here is old, rotten and damp – maybe that's just his imagination. He seemed to smell rotting flesh and blood. In the silence, his heart pounded, and he seemed to hear someone shouting in the distance: "Let me out...... You monsters! ”
At first, he couldn't get his bearings. This is quite normal in a weightless environment. But gradually he felt himself crawling down - his body had weight. This is the quasi-gravity caused by the rotation of the asteroid - a rod-shaped boulder. The closer you get to the ends, the heavier your body becomes. By the end of the ladder, gravity is almost the same as on Earth. Finally, they stepped onto a "hall". The lights inside automatically turn on, like a little starlight dotting the night sky. People exclaimed in a low voice - a circular rock hall with three large machines like metal boilers. On the walls around the hall were a circle of twelve stone doors in the shape of a devouring beast. Tourists flocked to the cold doors, and one person asked, "What are these machines for?" ”
"They are air circulators, water circulators and food making machines."
One tourist smiled and said, "I know! It is a device for waste utilization. They eat and drink bread and drinking water made from their own feces and urine...... "The guide said, "I should say that bread and drinking water are made from algae that decomposes feces and urine." We Martians invented ......" "I won't eat that kind of thing if I die anyway!" A woman said with a frown. As he spoke, he heard a "quack" sound, and a heavy stone door slid open. There was a stir in the crowd, and everyone jumped up and looked at the open door.
It was a tourist who inadvertently pulled the lever to open the door, and he stood there, looking ashamed. The tour guide walked over, pointed inside, and said, "Everyone, please look! This is the cell. You can go in and have a look, as long as you don't mess around. "People gathered at the door of the cell, but no one dared to go in. They stuck their heads out and looked inside curiously. Fleisisco blended into the crowd, holding back his heartbeat. He couldn't help but look at the cell. It was a small, ordinary room. If you don't say it, you'd think it's a neighbor's house, or rather, a basement, because it has no windows. Everyone was moved to think of how many prisoners of war or prisoners had wept, repented, groaned, hit their heads in despair, and even ended up being idiots.
Captain White was the first to step in. Fleisisco's hand was about to reach out to pull him, but it hung limply. Don Quixote pushed him into the cell with a gentle push from behind. Then the tour guide also followed. Then a few more daring tourists hesitated to move into the room. They came in and sighed, looking around with a little awe. The tour guide said: "The furniture in this room is fixed to the ground, and it is all made of ice charcoal. Lo and behold, even the water pipes in the toilet are iced. This is the food outlet, from where the daily bread automatically falls into the plate below. Monitors are installed in the corners of the roof, and the prisoners' every move, as well as their physical and psychological condition, are monitored day and night. The only entertainment facility is this television set, but it can only receive programs from the Felony Prison on Earth or Mars, which are carefully selected...... Feed! Don't move that door! ”
The guide shouted at Captain White, startling the crowd. The captain had opened the iron door at the innermost part of the room. Behind the iron gate is a small iron house. There is also a door hole at the end of the room. The tour guide said, "This is the 'air hole'. It's space out there. Thankfully, there is air in the inner chamber of the air hole......" Captain White pointed to the door at the end of the iron house, "which door leads to the outside?" "Yes. That's the emergency entrance and exit we see on the ship. "Moreover, there is a legend that the door is unlocked, and it can be opened at will, both inside and outside." "Why!?" One asked in surprise. The tour guide said: "It is to facilitate emergency rescue. But some people say that maybe the 'Dead Planet' female demon king was originally motivated by a kind of black humor. You know the explanation of 'imprisonment' in our law: if the person in the room can enter and exit freely through a passageway, and he knows it, then the person is not imprisoned. "What kind of humor is this?" Some among the tourists say:
This joke is so cruel. Fleisisco broke out in a cold sweat, he thought, prisoners of war or prisoners knew that outside this door was the world of freedom, but they did not dare to open it—that free world was also the world of death, a cold vacuum. At this time, more people want to squeeze into the room. The tour guide said, "Don't crowd everyone! There's not a lot of room for people here. I'll open the other rooms, and you can choose one of each......" Looks like those twenty gold coins are really working. Everyone ran out again, and the room was left with only Fleissco, Captain White, and Don Quixote. Flesisko also wanted to go out, but the captain grabbed him and shouted, "We want to taste what it is like to go to jail!" ”
"Okay." The tour guide laughed rattlingly: "I'll lock you up right away!" Ready for everyone? Anyone who wants to go to jail will choose one and I'll close the cell for twenty minutes so you can enjoy it. "Some people giggled and ran into their cells. The guide pulled the lever and closed the room for Flesisko first. Flesisko yelled, "No! He struggled to break free of Captain White's hand and threw himself on the stone door, slapping and shouting, "No! I'm going out! Let me out! "But the stone door is so thick that it separates the wind from the door. All sounds are gone......
