Chapter 953: Another Ruler
It took more than ten minutes for Angre Safron to finally accept the status quo.
This is the hallway of the casino, and this is the scene on the other end when the lady navigator with no facial features opens the door for him.
Not isolated in a small space, the crowd downstairs makes him feel like he has returned to the liveliest place in the core city.
It was a far cry from what people thought of as a prison, and when he walked down the corridor to the end, he saw the bustling scene in the casino.
The dazzling array of guests covers almost all the ethnic groups that Angleigh knows.
The whole body of the creature has been completely replaced by machinery, and due to the overdose of genetic modification drugs, the human form is completely invisible, and there are shadows that can only see vague outlines.
These people, who were originally unable to beat each other, gathered here, completely forgot each other's identities, spent a lot of money, and enjoyed the excitement of the gambling game for them.
At that moment, a voice came from behind Angleigh.
"Oh? It's been a long time since anyone has been sent directly to Section D. β
Angray followed the prestige, and it was not a human who was talking to him, but a surveillance probe on the corner on the second floor, "Welcome to D7 area. β
The other party's playful tone finally proves that this is really a prison, not some paradise for the rich.
"But according to the rules here, you still have one more job to complete before you can start a new life."
"Work?"
"Here are the slaves who did not work well yesterday."
A pale blue beam of light emanated from the surveillance discussion, and then several figures with photographs appeared in Angel's prosthetic eyes, "Whatever means you use, teach them a lesson about the importance of hard work." β
The characters in the photograph are also "ethnically diverse", perhaps they were originally human, but for various reasons they have become what they are now.
If you leave the prison and appear in any area of the coalition government, you will be a monster that will make local headlines immediately.
In the midst of these photographs, Angley spotted a familiar figure.
The man in the photograph is covered in chains, half of his body has been converted into a machine, and he is sweating and dragging a minecart when he is taken.
Benjamin Abele.
Anglei will never forget the appearance of a man, but she is strange about the current situation of the other party.
Benjamin had placed him in the hands of the coalition government in exchange for access to prison, and although he had had a lot of trouble with the company in the past, the council, even for the sake of face, would not allow him to look as bleak on his first day in prison.
"Looking forward to your performance newcomer, good luck."
There was no brainless job demand, and no vicious explanation to him about the consequences of failing to complete the task, and just as Angley was deep in thought, the surveillance probe sounded again.
It's just that the speaker's voice has changed, and there is also the sound of "zizi" electricity.
It was a girl's voice, most of whom were only the age of a high school student, but directly reported his name, "Angre Suffron, I don't have much time, if you want to live, listen carefully to me, the novice job is a trap, for you the prisoners outside of Zone D are not slaves, but enemies, they will try to kill you while you check your work, and then take your place in Zone D." β
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that they will gather in the settlements in various areas after dark every night, which is their safe zone, and they can be found by following the direction of the light, and at night they are moving, don't talk nonsense when you see them, just beat them until they can't move, and I will send you the coordinates at that time...... Prepare as soon as possible before it gets dark. β
Then, the girl's voice disappeared along with the sound of electricity.
β¦β¦
What happened in the casino was naturally also seen by Song Lan and Lu Xiang, the Mother of Machines was showing Lu Xiang the use of the facilities in the prison, the entire prison was a box garden world made by artificial intelligence, based on the first district, which was a simulation of the mechanical psionic war, but later because the war did not start, it became what it is now.
She gave the two of them access so they could keep up to date with every movement in the prison.
But that doesn't bode well.
Not being able to leave immediately after the handover means that they are in trouble.
"There is only one area that is out of our surveillance area, which is located deeper in Area D, the territory of another ruler."
The corresponding information was quickly displayed in front of the two of them.
Another ruler with a high reputation among the prisoners was the one who divided Section D and single-handedly made it what it is today, and he wrote the rules between Sections C and D.
"You deliberately let him do what he did."
Lu Xiang said.
Observing humans is one of the interests of the Mother of Machines, and on the basis of the fact that the prisoners in the box court are like guinea pigs in her eyes, and she prepares different ecological environments for them in different prison areas, on this basis, she does not want to interfere too much with the daily movements of the prisoners, but observes their lives through the ubiquitous surveillance facilities in the prison area.
There's always a feeling of an electronic cricket.
When did the Mother of Machines also get infected with Song Lan's quirks?
The people who are imprisoned here are the most vicious people in the history of the coalition government, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as "violent crickets", and it is inevitable that such a group of people will be locked up in a limited space.
"That's just part of the reason, but the main reason is that if I mess with him, there's a good chance that the aftermath will bring down the entire prison, and the prisoners will take the opportunity to escape from the damage to the outside world."
The AI has always valued promises, and she promised the Council that the prisoners sent to the prison would never leave, "after all, he is a god from the same place as you, and for some reason, he infiltrated here with the first prisoners and immediately went into action." β
"From the same place as us...... Are you referring to the upper world? β
"Nothingness" had received Song Lan's notice in advance and had left the upper world before the outbreak of the war, otherwise their old friends would have no choice when that Hongmen banquet arrivedβeither go with the flow to defeat Song Lan, the devil, or join the devil's camp and become the enemy of the entire upper world.
But other than that, Lu Xiang really couldn't think of anyone who had escaped that turmoil.
At the moment, the Mother of Machines is implicitly hoping that they will meet the ruler from the same place as them before they leave for Sector D.
"Song Lan, what do you think...... What are you doing sneaking around there alone? β
The serious conversation between the two was interrupted.
As soon as Lu Xiang turned his head, he noticed a strange picture on Song Lan's screen, his screen was not fixed on the confused Angel in the casino from the beginning, but moved to Area C, a dimly lit mine.
This is the main job of the inmates of Section C every day - to carry the ores and transfer the magical ores that can bring energy to the designated places in the D area.
"Scientific research is being conducted."
"Scientific research?"
"I'm curious about what kind of ore can be used as fuel to solve all the energy problems in Zone D."
This ore is no less magical than the "sun" energy they encountered in the underground kingdom before, and if it is mastered by the coalition government, it will probably set off a new wave of technological revolution.
Lu Xiang took a deep breath, she was really a little speechless about this dumb bird - this guy hadn't joined their discussion since the beginning!
Rather, the Mother of Machines asked with interest, "What conclusion have you reached?" β
"The conclusion is that the prison's energy system has nothing to do with ore, and the same goes for the energy supply in Area B, their existence is equivalent to the task you set, which itself is just some glowing stones, but only after the 'mission' is completed, you will continue to provide energy to the prison area."
From this point it can be seen that the relationship between the Mother of Machines and their "fellow" has not reached the point of saber rattling, but they have tacitly and secretly cooperated to rule the prison together.
"That's right, with the existence of resources, there will be a gap in the identity of prisoners, and it is more in line with the ecology of the real world."
"Based on this theory, I found that the prison's authority not only allows it to observe every corner of the prison area at any time, but also generates energy."
"Generate resources?"
Lu Xiang immediately became vigilant, and came to Song Lan's side with an arrow, "What did you generate?" β
There is no need to speak, Song Lan's screen has already answered everything.
What appeared in Lu Xiang's eyes was a familiar figure, Benjamin, who had been busy all night, stopped before this strange scene, he looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he picked up the glittering long sword on the ground with trembling hands.
The light emanating from the sword's body was brighter than the ore, and he tried to replace the miner's hoe with the blade of the sword, and with a light gouge on the ore, a whole piece of ore with intact cuts fell at his feet.
And on the side of this brilliant long sword, there are also two words engraved that he cares about:
γHoly Sword, Attack +350γ
"The Holy Sword was handed over to the rebels by the Warden himself during the Prison War."
"Song Lan, you tell me honestly, is that person with a very black beard yourself or not?"
From any point of view, Song Lan's judgment of Benjamin was wrong at the beginning, and even if he was not dying, it was impossible for him to make any waves in this prison.
Putting him among these vicious criminals can only be described as unremarkable, and perhaps any prisoner who is taken out of the slaves in Area C may not be someone else's opponent.
The only thing that awaited him was death, and with his current broken body, he couldn't go deep into Area D and get the news from the zoning administrator that his life could continue.
For a desperate person, this brilliant holy sword undoubtedly gave him the last hope, and it will directly bring a great change to the prison.
History has proven countless times that rule maintained purely by force is not destined to last, and it may only take a small spark for a war to break out between Zones C and D.
"You've also taken the warden's name!"
Lu Xiang had to criticize Song Lan harshly, he could still be said to be a "broom star physique" before, and he was always involved in strange incidents, but this time it was clearly the first thing he picked up.
For the slaves who had been ruled by force for a long time, these two passages were tantamount to the warden supporting them in launching a rebellion.
According to her assessment, this kind of behavior is at least two hours of private criticism and education.
"I think it's funny, the conflict between Zone C and Zone D has reached an irreconcilable point, and the fact that this balance has been maintained until now is beyond my expectations."
"And you calm down first, Lao Lu."
Song Lan defended herself, "Didn't I just say it? Whether it's ore or sword, it's actually a fancy looking prop, +350 attack damage is fake, and if Benjamin Abel takes this sword to Zone D to start a riot, he should be killed in one turn. β
It's like a level 1 character who doesn't even have a basic outfit and spends his life savings to buy this equipment dropped by death.
The Holy Sword will then fulfill its historic mission and fall into the hands of its opponents.
But the reality is different from the game after all, and Benjamin is not the kind of reckless man who picks up a weapon from the field and thinks he is invincible in the world, immediately makes himself an opinion leader, and instigates the slaves of Area C to rebel against Area D.
After carefully studying the Holy Sword for a while, he made the wisest judgment.
Mixed the holy sword into the minecart and hid it.
He couldn't use the holy sword to capture Area D, but he could use this mysterious weapon of unknown origin in exchange for a chance to meet the ruler.
"We have to go this time."
"It's not like your style."
Lu Xiang was a little surprised, in order to escape work, this stupid bird can make a ruthless character who lies on the bed and rolls, shouting that he has a headache and stomach ache, and is resolutely unwilling to get out of bed.
"Because I found that there are so many old friends here, don't you recognize the voice just now?"
"You mean RT6?"
Of course, Lu Xiang recognized the girl's voice coming from the monitoring probe, and the last time she said goodbye, she and the "Emperor" decided to start investigating the matter of military technology, but after this back and forth, they investigated themselves in prison.
But RT6 is the child of the mother of machines, and it is not convenient for them to interfere too much in their household affairs as outsiders.
"She seems to be fighting alone right now."
Song Lan adjusted the surveillance and locked it on a street outside the casino, and after hacking into the casino system and making contact with Angel, the petite figure tightened the windbreaker on his body and disappeared into the depths of the alley.
The 'emperor', who has always been inseparable from her, did not accompany her this time.
"No wonder she contacted Angel, so ......"
"Ahh
Song Lan nodded with a heavy face, "The worst result is that the 'Emperor' was detained by the security personnel of the Fourth District Airport because he was carrying too many deadly prostheses on his body, and he couldn't go to the First District with her. β
ββ¦β¦ Are you sure he wasn't killed by the other prisoners here? β
It's another eye-popping speculation, but Lu Xiang has long been used to it.
"The 'Emperor' is everyone's good friend, don't say such a terrible thing as if nothing happened!"
The small theater of its three hundred and twenty-one:
Tuesday, afternoon, year, month, day
In the eyes of the councillors, young people do not need to fall in love at all, which not only takes up a lot of their time, but also makes them reluctant to go to work, which greatly affects work efficiency.
Young people should work harder, pay more to strengthen themselves, and even if they have occasional leisure time, they should improve themselves more, such as taking the initiative to take on more work for the department.
This is also very beneficial for the personal abilities of young people.
"It's all prejudice."
Lu Xiang lay on the table, feeling very depressed.
She stared at Song Lan across the table, who was engrossed in watching a movie with headphones on, as if nothing else in this world had anything to do with him.
"Why do they think that being in love will make people miss work every day, arrive late and leave early, and be absent-minded during work......"
Suddenly, all the doubts were solved.
All the councilors' accusations of love point to one person.
And the culprit seemed to feel something, and raised his head back to her puzzled eyes.
"This matter must be clarified!"
Lu Xiang made a decision, "We must let them understand that this stupid bird is like this if he doesn't fall in love, and it has nothing to do with love at all!" β
