Longitude 160°E, latitude 0, over the Pacific Ocean.

At an altitude of more than 4,000 meters above sea level, there is an artificial floating island that never lands - Tiandu.

This is the city where the Imperial Palace is located, built with the most cutting-edge technology of human beings, whether it is the rise of sea level, the outbreak of nuclear war, the change of the earth's crust, the drastic change of the climate, or the rampant virus, it will not pose a threat to the sky.

Because the city was the last barrier to the center of the empire, it was built with all possibilities in mind. From the hardware to the software, from the external weapons defense system of the entire floating island, to the impeccable internal entry and exit security checks, even the royal family and nobles must strictly abide by it, as early as a hundred years ago, and there has never been a lapse in it.

Twenty nautical miles east of Tiandu is a place called hell.

Hell Island only appears from the sea once every nine days, and only on this day, the world's most fortified prison, Tidal Prison, will have the opportunity to have a brief exchange with the outside world.

Today is one such day.

A large number of supplies and prisoners were sent into the island through two different passages, and arrived at the prison located on the bottom of the sea, and the prison guards and transport workers all played with the spirit of 12 points, and did not dare to be careless or negligent, and everyone only hoped that they could complete today's errand as soon as possible, and nothing would go wrong.

But in fact, this is impossible. Every time Hell Island surfaces, there are prisoners who attempt to escape.

However, it has been more than 60 years since the prison was built, and not a single prisoner has managed to escape from it.

That is, every nine days, someone is killed for running away.

"Hey, Brother Chen, look at that boat. A crew member on the cargo ship said to the first mate beside him: "Which unit's ship is that, I have never seen it before, is it some department of the army?"

The first mate followed his gaze and saw a black "armored shuttle ship" with a golden imperial coat of arms (diamond-shaped, surrounded by two star tracks) on its hull. The boat was parked on the other side of the island, as if it didn't want to attract attention, and there was no one around.

"It's called 'Inquire Less,' and if you still want to be in my place alive, remember to throw your curiosity down the toilet and into the ocean before it's too late. ”

The crew member pursed his lips disdainfully: "Cut, I'm just going to retire, and I'm at most a cargo ship captain." He tapped his thumb to the sky behind his head: "In the eyes of the bigwigs on that floating island, it's not even a thing like a dog." ”

The first mate slapped the back of the crew's head: "Look at your birdman virtue, I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world, have you ever heard of this? ”

"Hehe, Brother Chen, look at what you said, that's what I said, we are now in this day, there are fish and meat every day, and we can go to the shore a few times a year to be chic, which is already good. Where do I dare to go against the Empire, those rebellious psychoses, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, it will really happen, and who knows where they are throwing their heads and spilling their blood today, and which generation of children will enjoy the blessings in the end. ”

The big copy wanted to talk to the crew a few more words, but suddenly his expression changed, and he forgot all the words that came to his lips, and he stammered a little and pointed to the black ship: "You...... You see...... The man ......"

The crew's eyesight was not as good as that of the first mate, but they soon saw clearly that there was a blue-haired young man slowly walking towards the black boat, and the middle-aged man who accompanied him all the way, nodding and hunching, was actually the prison warden who had always looked at no one on weekdays.

"Alright, I don't have to send it anymore, Mr. Warden. The blue-haired youth waved for the other party to stop.

"Just call me Jefferson, sir. The warden said respectfully, and his footsteps stopped abruptly when the other party said the word "no", and he did not dare to take another half step forward.

Although the blue-haired young man didn't like to see him, he was still very polite: "Okay, Mr. Jefferson, thank you for your enthusiasm, but it's okay to send it here, you should still have work to do." ”

The warden lowered his head slightly, avoiding eye contact with the other party, as a sign of humility: "What the lord said is very true, when the lord gets on the boat, the subordinates will return immediately." ”

"Hmm. The young man answered, and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly remembered something, and turned back and said: "By the way, it's not that I don't believe you, but the prisoner just now, please be sure to imprison him strictly according to the way I arranged, otherwise he is likely to escape." ”

"Understand, subordinates don't dare to make a mistake. ”

"That's good. ”

"Slow down, adults. "Until the other party's black ship sailed away, the warden leaned forward and stood there, not knowing who he was doing to see.

Five minutes later, inside the black boat.

Although the room of the blue-haired young man cannot be said to be luxurious, it is obviously no worse than the room where the captain of the average cruise ship lives.

He brewed a pot of tea, turned on his computer, and checked the emails that seemed to never finish. Suddenly, the title of one of them caught his attention - "Hokkaido 'Reverse Cross' Serial Murder Case".

He only took a cursory look at the contents, then immediately put down the cup in his hand and dialed a phone call: "Hello, is it the governor of Sakurafu?"

The voice on the other side of the phone was trembling: "Yes...... Yes...... May I ask you, sir?"

"I'm really sorry, because there is a very urgent matter, and it is too slow to go through the procedures of the judicial department, so I used the direct line of the royal family, and it is still early in the morning over there, did you wake you up. ”

"No, no, no, absolutely not! Your Excellency, do you have anything to do. "Actually, the governor was very hot at first, and when he was sleeping soundly in the bed in the winter, suddenly the phone rang on the bedside table, and he was ready to pick it up and curse no matter who was on the other side. But when he saw that the number of the caller was transferred from the Governor's Palace, when he saw the words "royal line" displayed, basically the anger had been completely extinguished by fear, and at this moment the other party's amiable attitude simply flattered Mr. Governor.

"Okay, that's ......" The blue-haired young man didn't care, and continued to talk about what he was going to do.

After talking to the Governor, the Governor woke up many people in the early hours of the morning with lightning speed, and those people woke up many more...... Then, about twenty minutes later, when the blue-haired youth on the black boat dialed the direct phone of the governor of Sakurafu again, he was directly transferred to someone's mobile phone.

"I'm a member of the HL Sakuranomiya Branch, Kuwabara Junichi, military rank: second lieutenant, combat rank: and, stationed in Hokkaido, and my external identity is a coroner at the police station. May I ask what the commander commands?" the person opposite introduced himself meticulously, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

"I saw an email from your superior department to headquarters, are you the most terminal reporter?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"How's that case, the report says you already have the eyebrows of a prisoner?"

"Of course. The tone on the other side of the phone suddenly became a little wrong: "Isn't the prisoner talking to you?"

A burst of maniacal laughter reached the ears of the blue-haired youth, and his eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Kuwabara-kun yesterday according to HL's standard procedure, after discovering the abnormality, immediately called four 'cleaners' to come and monitor me, hehe, in fact, it doesn't matter, but because the application for the cleanup attack must be written a report, so according to my estimate, you will get involved in this matter soon. Tianyi smiled proudly: "If you were born in the nineteenth century, you would be a very good detective." You know, over the years, there have been fewer and fewer characters who have the ability to chase after my ass and find faults, but you're looking forward to it, so come to Hokkaido, there are plenty of fresh clues waiting for you. ”

The blue-haired youth exhaled and stabilized his emotions: "You're no longer in Hokkaido, are you?"

"Well, I wanted to leave for a long time, and I regretted it the day after I came here, and sure enough, crab and sushi are things that can only be tasted once in a while, and I still like the buckets of spicy fried chicken wings. ”

"So you decided to leave a round to test me before leaving?"

Tianyi still has an indifferent attitude: "It's just a game, you don't have to take it too seriously." Rest assured, there won't be anything left for you that makes things boring, like a policeman with backlight vision, a coroner with a knife and a gun, I've disposed of them all, and you can have fun with the rest of the physical evidence and some civilian testimony for a while. ”

"It looks like you've killed Kuwabara ......"

"You talk a lot of nonsense, otherwise how would you find me when you dial Kuwabara's mobile phone? Hahahaha! That guy's direct commander still doesn't know that his subordinates are dead, you say, now that communication is so developed, is it to shorten the distance between people? Hahaha......

"I'll definitely catch you, Tianyi. The blue-haired youth said coldly.

On the other side of the phone, there was the sound of sticking out his tongue and imitating a fart, followed by a burst of laughter, and then the call was interrupted.
