Chapter 954: Anglerfish Bait
If you want to find your fellow countryman, you have to go deep into Section D, and only a few of the managers he trusts best know the way to the deeper part of the prison area.
These administrators, known to the inmates of Section D, are known as "judges", and in a realm where the law of the jungle is worshipped, the judges often act as intermediaries, mediating conflicts and disputes.
Of course, the mediation method of the lawless zone is special.
As Song Lan saw at this moment, he sat in the surround audience seat amid cheers, and he could vaguely recognize from the traces that this was originally a large stadium, but now it has been transformed into a gladiatorial arena full of blood and killing.
When the contradictions cannot be reconciled, the two sides will enter the gladiatorial arena in the presence of the judge, and use this almost primitive society to adjudicate everything.
The winner will take everything that belongs to the loser, and the loser will have to leave Section D in disgrace and become a lowly slave of Section C to the ridicule of the other prisoners.
However, there are not many disputes to be resolved even at the expense of everything in Zone D, and the Colosseum is deserted most of the time, so in order to heat up the field, the judges in Zone D3 have used their brains to come up with some interesting formats.
Song Lan and Lu Xiang watched the most watched king knockout match in recent times.
It is said that the tournament attracted the attention of the rulers, and the winner of the championship was personally received by the ruler and received the title of judge.
And the reason why the two are here is simple, one of the contestants is their old friend.
On this issue, both Song Lan and Lu Xiang's judgments were wrong.
Mr. "The Emperor" was not detained by airport security in the 4th District for installing a lethal prosthesis, nor was he killed by some little-known minor character on the first day of his arrival, and was reduced to a pitiful cushion to highlight the gold content of the "most vicious" prisoner.
Nowadays, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as infinitely beautiful.
D3 is littered with his propaganda posters, and the terminology on the airboat has given him the title of "the strongest reformer in the coalition government", and since entering prison, he has played 18 games, and with an 18-0 record, he has given all the inmates some shock from the coalition government.
Song Lan was really happy for his old friend.
He has always felt that the hard power of the "Emperor" must not be said, but some time ago, he was a little bit back, and he encountered some opponents who were more than one level above him, which caused him to seem to be the strongest six-star rescuer of the coalition government, but he has been suffering from deflated.
RT6 is very objective in its evaluation of him.
Standing at the pinnacle of humanity, after undergoing the transformation of prosthetics, it is not difficult to defeat opponents of δ level.
With the current 18-0 record, it should change the minds of those who doubt that "The Emperor" has become a comedy artist.
The opponent of the "Emperor" this time does not look very strong.
The thin body and trembling appearance are incompatible with the fierce painting style of the entire prison, and the completely mechanized "emperor" is like a hill in front of her.
He only took a step forward, and the weak girl fell to the ground in fright, covering her face with her hands, as if that was the only thing she could do at the moment.
"Don't, don't kill me, I don't want to, they forced me, I don't want to come here at all!"
The girl muttered to herself in distraction.
Lu Xiang, who had completed the scan with his authority, leaned into Song Lan's ear and whispered, "It records that she is a prisoner in Area B, the former head of the scientific research team of the unified military industry, and she has been performing well during her sentence. ”
This scene also made Song Lan, who was still happy for her good friend "Emperor", muttered in her heart.
If these 18-win opponents are ordinary people who are helpless, then there will be people who question the gold content of this winning streak.
"Lady Divin-Horna, why are you here?"
The Emperor apparently recognized the other party as well, and stepped forward to ask.
Horna was not sent to prison for a long time, she collapsed two years ago due to the infighting of the unified military industry, and was immediately sent here by people from hostile forces, but for these company people, they should be more or less aware of some prison rules, such as serving three years in Zone B and applying to be transferred to Zone A to spend their old age.
"It's them, someone broke into Area B and asked if we knew anything about you......"
"Who are they?"
"Stupid!"
Devin Horna's voice changed abruptly, replaced by a shrill voice, "This is what happens to lack of vigilance!" ”
The barbs that broke through the ground between the two pierced through the "Emperor's" chest in the blink of an eye, and with the cracked ground, the opponent of this match finally revealed his true face.
"This thing...... Is it a human change? ”
Song Lan in the audience was stunned.
As the arena floor collapsed, they were greeted by an abyssal maw, like inky tentacles replacing teeth, and the smell of blood and decay reached the audience.
This fanged monster speaks the language of humanity.
Compared to this thing, the deformed members of the Eclipse Cult who had been corrupted by their belief in the moon god were much more conservative in appearance, and although their faces and statures were distorted, they at least retained the silhouette of a humanoid form, and this thing looked more like a Devourer-type species.
"Anglerfish, that's its nickname."
Lu Xiang called up the files related to the prisoner and showed Song Lan a mediocre photo, the man in the photo is the type that never attracts attention when placed in the crowd, "The information says that he is the product of the failure of Yungang Biopharmaceutical, which turned them into creatures between humans and devourers, theoretically speaking, it is one of the forms of devourers, and it seems to be affected by the genes and memories of the original body, making it mistakenly think that it is still a human." ”
Then, she added, "You should know the anglerfish, the fish that uses its lights to attract its prey, hence his nickname, and he likes to use it to surprise his prey, especially newcomers to Section D. ”
22-6.
This is the record for anglerfish in the Colosseum records.
Devon-Horna, who unites the military industry, is just a bait that it sneaks into Area B to make the "Emperor" take it lightly, and the two used to know each other because of their work.
As he spoke, the ground began to collapse downward.
Devan Horna reluctantly stretched out her right hand upwards, trying to grab something, but she couldn't stop the fall.
The Abyssal Maw seemed to engulf her along with the Emperor.
"He has a habit of eating prey, and some of the less powerful prisoners tend to be his belly, and the source also mentions that when he first awakened consciousness, the entire laboratory was swallowed by it."
The Colosseum clearly stipulates that both sides can use any means in battle, and eating the opponent is naturally within the scope of the rules.
It is worthy of Yungang Biopharmaceutical.
Song Lan could only sigh, it seems that all the genetic monsters they have encountered so far have been made up by this company, experimental accidents seem to have become commonplace, the chief researcher does not know how many have been changed in the past ten years, and their predecessors are estimated to have become food for genetic monsters in some unknown corner.
"However, this kind of small trick that can't be put on the table is ineffective against the 'Emperor', he is a hard power champion!"
He crossed Erlang's legs, put his hands around his chest, and spoke with confidence.
With a thud, the ground that fell beneath Divin-Horna's feet was in the air, and the barbs that pierced the Emperor's chest stopped swinging, his hands gripped the front of the barb, and his scarlet prosthetic eyes stared into the hole like an abyss.
In an instant, the rift that started from the hands of the 'Emperor' spread, and in just a few seconds, the rift formed a spider web on the ground, so strange that it was as if the entire space was shredded by the rift.
"Cosmic Invincible Land Rift Attack."
In the audience's astonishment, Song Lan smiled slightly, "This is the strength of the hard power champion." ”
"Why would you give someone else's skill a name?"
Lu Xiang glanced at him, a serious and calm person like the 'Emperor' would definitely not accept Song Lan's way of naming him, "Also, why does your tone look like you have won." ”
In the gladiatorial arena, the "emperor" was fighting bloodily with the anglerfish, and Song Lan put on a posture of a master outside the world.
Nerdy Bird seems to have gotten a little carried away lately.
This may have something to do with the fact that she hasn't disciplined each other since she came to the First District.
"There is no doubt that the winner is the 'Strongest Transformer Emperor' from the coalition government, and it is another landslide victory, I really don't know how long his winning streak will last."
The referee quickly announced the result of the match, and the tentacles that stopped swinging spoke for themselves.
The victorious "Emperor" ignored the referee's announcement, and the prosthetic levitation device allowed him to stand calmly and calmly on this ruined land, showing his gentlemanly style, hugging Divin Horna in a princess position.
The faces of the audience varied.
Where there is competition, there is gambling.
The victory of the "Emperor" once again earned a lot of money for many people, and naturally some people lost without even underwear.
But whether grief or ecstasy, experienced audiences have already begun to leave.
The anglerfish lost, and the injuries did not look severe, meaning that it would need to eat a lot to get back to its original state.
"As is customary, we are divided into two lines."
Song Lan said, "You go and congratulate the 'Emperor' who has won 19 consecutive victories, and by the way, find out why he is playing here." ”
"What about you?"
"I ...... Go to RT6 and see if they're having a fight. ”
Finding the RT6 is a much more daunting task from any point of view.
RT6 is not an ordinary high school girl, the warden of the entire box court is her mother, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the second generation of super officials, plus her identity as a genius hacker, it is undoubtedly difficult to find her whereabouts in District D.
So in terms of the difficulty of the mission, even if he didn't find the whereabouts of RT6 in the end, he couldn't be blamed.
Song Lan made many plans.
For example, when I went to a roadside shop for lunch, I accidentally met a genius hacker girl; Or on the way to book a hotel, I bumped into RT6 in the lobby, which was also going through the procedures.
It's all very well planned.
"Don't be lazy."
Lu Xiang's mood was extremely complicated, and she felt that her advice was really a little pale.
Everyone knows that as long as the Silly Bird is out of your sight, he will be lazy, but you can never be by his side all the time to stop him from being lazy.
"Don't worry, you just wait for my good news."
Looking at Song Lan's brisk back, Lu Xiang suddenly remembered something.
Beware of anglerfish.
This sentence came to his lips, but he didn't say it in the end.
According to the information provided by the warden, every time the anglerfish is injured, it will enter a state of hunting and predation, and newcomers are often the focus of its attention.
But if you look at this problem with a rational eye, you will find that it is not Song Lan who should really be careful.
Beware of the Silly Birds.
Lu Xiang remembered the experience she had when she first knew about the anglerfish, and she didn't know this strange fish with a lamp on its head from the "Encyclopedia of Animals" at first, but from the dinner plate.
Scallion and anglerfish liver.
Well, I only ate meat buns in the morning.
Compared with real high-end food, meat buns are still a little less meaningful.
……
Have lunch, book a hotel, and by the way, hit the luck to see if you can meet RT6.
This is Song Lan's next plan, since he wants to stay in prison for a while, food, clothing, housing and transportation must be taken into account, and the common currency of the coalition government is not applicable here, so the prisoners have created a unique monetary system for themselves.
However, the appearance of a petite figure disrupted all his plans.
As he walked out of the arena with the crowd, a petite figure flashed in the distance and caught his attention.
The petite girl stood out in the demon-infested D-Zone, wearing a windbreaker and hood that obscured her face, in order to avoid the ubiquitous surveillance probes in D-Zone.
The girl seemed to notice Song Lan's eyes, turned her face sideways and glanced at her with her peripheral vision, then took the initiative to stay away from the crowd and walked towards the more remote alley.
For some reason, the spectators who left the arena were in droves, consciously or unconsciously, away from those remote corners.
Seeing this, Song Lan hesitated.
If you have to count it, the priority of encountering RT6 is not high.
According to the law of conservation of character, the number of "rare monsters in the wild" encountered by everyone per day is limited, and once a plan is missed, RT6 is likely not to be refreshed for the next whole day.
Thinking of this, Song Lan had to temporarily change her plan, leaving the crowd and chasing towards the alley where the petite figure disappeared.
Remote, gloomy.
There's also a smell of blood, and the RT6 is very good at picking places, so it's perfect for secret joints at first glance.
The bones left by unknown creatures in the garbage cans add a bit of weirdness to the alley.
The petite figure stopped, waiting for them in the deepest part of the alley.
"Let's get straight to it."
Song Lan broke the silence and said, "Are you quarreling with the 'Emperor' again, I can help you mediate." ”
He and Lu Xiang have long known RT6's character, she is just unforgiving, but she actually cares about the affairs of the "emperor" everywhere, but the "emperor" has the attributes of a straight man of steel - and steel in the physical sense, no, more precisely, it surpasses steel and reaches the realm of a straight man of alloy.
However, for the sake of her good friend's future happiness, Song Lan is still willing to help.
"'Emperor'...... Yes, I do have a grudge against him. ”
RT6's voice sounded a little unnatural, the figure with his back to Song Lan trembled a few times, and his voice gradually changed back to a sharp and harsh voice, "But there is no need to negotiate, since you have kindly followed all the way here, just do me another favor, I like you very much, I have a hunch, as long as I swallow you in my stomach, I will complete an unprecedented evolution!" ”
Inky tentacles blocked the way they came, and more and more flesh creations emerged, turning the entire alley into a monster's lair in an instant.
"Don't worry, after that, I will personally let the 'Emperor' come down to accompany you!"
The small theater its three hundred and twenty-two:
Tuesday, afternoon, year, month, day
Before getting off work that day, Lu Xiang came to the chairman's office in a menacing manner.
She has to correct people's prejudices!
"Knock knock—"
"Please come in."
The chairman raised his eyes and saw Lu Xiang with a straight face, and he was also shocked by her momentum.
"Chairman, I think there is a deep-rooted prejudice in the Council on the issue of love, which is not conducive to the long-term development of various departments!"
This is a serious question.
Before she came, she had read a statistic showing that the marriage rate in all public branches of the coalition government was less than 20 percent, and in fact this statistic had been declining since 20 years ago, and the fertility rate was about to fall to the bottom.
Banning office romances is just one of the reasons, but more importantly the deep-seated prejudice that love will ruin their careers and bring them misfortune, and most of these 20 percent also include political marriages, most of which come from the "old aristocracy" who value inheritance.
"So which of our views do you think are biased?"
"It is time-consuming, painstaking and laborious, and it will take up a lot of time, and it will be difficult to give up when you go to work, which will greatly affect work efficiency."
Lu Xiang said in a hurry, "You should be talking about Song Lan, but in fact, even if he doesn't fall in love, he will definitely not correct it!" ”
"Nope."
The chairman shook his head and gave an unexpected answer, "It's a pity Minister Lu, we're talking about you." ”
“…… Huh? ”
"In the past year, you have taken advantage of your power to condone Song Lan 371 times."
