Chapter 220: The Great Secret Hidden in Shangbang Prison
Ji Xun got the information about Shangbang Prison and went to the major recruitment markets again.
I looked at it, and sure enough, as I remembered, I saw the recruitment notice of Shangbang Prison: "Shangbang Prison Porter, providing room and board, 4500/month"
The salary is not bad.
Innocence City has been flooded with too many outsiders in recent times, and while the number of adventurers has exploded, the wages of various factories have also increased a lot.
I hadn't noticed the place in Shangbang Prison before, but I didn't notice any difference in this job.
Now I know that the prison has a cat.
This look, sure enough, there are problems everywhere.
Normally, jobs like the porters at the Nuggets Pier are stable positions, and although they are often hired, most of the time because of the increase in work at the docks and the need for more manpower.
In a place like a prison, where the workload is fixed, but it recruits people all year round, this is not normal.
Ji Xun had worked as a corpse collector before and had been exposed to many professions.
In the city of innocence, this kind of work, which requires people to be recruited all year round, is either highly mobile, or has a high accident and mortality rate.
Apparently the latter.
Ji Xun looked at it and was also curious, the corpse collector died of distortion caused by the contamination of the corpse, so why did the prison porter?
Ji Xun didn't plan to apply for a job and get into Shangbang Prison.
After all, if there have been a lot of inquiries about the prison's movements lately, it is easy to be suspicious of new faces.
Ji Xun didn't think it would be so troublesome.
He went to the address on the recruitment notice and inquired directly about the staff dormitory.
East 2nd District, Yanshi Street.
This neighborhood is home to the largest living market in the eastern side of the Innocence City, making it easy to buy supplies to send to prison.
The branch of Golden Oak is located at No. 155, and the office building is a small, dilapidated building.
Ji Xun had been to this area before when he was a corpse collector, and he was also very familiar with the streets.
After he came on a motorcycle, he didn't rush to contact the employees in the dormitory. Instead, I found a small alley and climbed the wall, intending to observe it first.
According to the information received, the porters would send supplies to the prison twice a week, during which time they would come to the market to buy them.
I squatted for about half an hour.
After dinner, Ji Xun saw several people wearing the uniforms of the freight clerks at the bottom of the Golden Oak Tree walking out scolding.
Walking to the garage, the steam truck didn't catch fire as if something had failed, and the driver kicked it a few times in a rage.
"Damn it! There is always a problem with this broken car, and sooner or later Lao Tzu will smash it into a pile of scrap metal! ”
"Don't care about this broken car, think about how you can get more money, just this fart salary, whoever likes to do it."
"It's really damn unlucky, after the branch changed to a new boss, the previous relationship was all in vain. Buy something and get a fucking receipt? Damn it! Damn it! I made tens of thousands less this month! ”
"With this dead wage, I can't do this job. I'm in a hurry, Lao Tzu took a gun and went to surprise those guys in the office! ”
“.”
Ji Xun originally wanted to observe the living habits of these porters, so that he could not miss flaws when he played.
Unexpectedly, after looking at it for a while, I found some abnormalities.
The abnormality is in people.
The feeling that these people give him is very, very, very much. Irascible.
Right!
It's grumpy.
The "hot-tempered" temper of these porters is evident in their speech and demeanor.
If it's just one person, it can also be said to be a personality problem.
But if everyone feels this way, it is an occupational disease.
Just like when Ji Xun was a corpse collector before, because of occupational pollution, people who have been in contact with corpses for a long time will have a dead breath on their bodies.
"It's strange, are these guys mentally tainted?"
On the roof, Ji Xun immediately thought of this factor.
He now has more knowledge of supernatural power than most people, and when he sees this symptom, he can immediately judge one or two.
In other words, there may be some kind of spiritual pollution in Shangbang Prison?
Just as Ji Xun was observing, the driver kicked the car several times, and miraculously made the truck start.
The group got into the car and went to the direction of the market.
Ji Xun originally wanted to follow and take a look, but before he could leave, he suddenly saw two suspicious guys coming out of the alley not far away.
He immediately realized that someone was also eyeing this group of freight men.
It seems that he also wants to use this method to spy on the secrets of Shangbang Prison?
"Hey, go along"
Ji Xun observed it for a while, and immediately judged that they were all professional spies, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
The tracking means are clearly trained.
However, there are no masters of this kind of grassroots spy, and Ji Xun doesn't care at all.
He also followed the truck he had purchased all the way to the market.
Three days later.
Go to the truck uptown.
Just in case, Ji Xun also hung up the news in the Hunter Guild.
In case something happens to you, at least something that you can't bring in with the [Useless Sword] can be left to the ninth year.
Maybe I'm not dead, I'm just trapped.
That old friend might have a way to pick it up.
Ji Xun, who was ready for everything, disguised himself as a middle-aged man with a sallow face, sat on the truck, and followed his "colleagues" to Shangbang Prison to deliver supplies.
"It's really unlucky, why is it Lao Tzu's turn again!"
"Stop complaining. After a while, you may be able to tip a little more. ”
"Do you think there's anything weird, as if every time you come out of prison to deliver goods, you have to be in a trance for a long time."
"You don't want to do it? The company has a rule that you are not allowed to talk about prison topics! ”
“.”
In the car, Ji Xun listened to the communication of several colleagues, and occasionally interjected to chat a few "irritable" car talk.
His perfect disguise and performance are naturally flawless.
Originally, I wanted to learn about the situation in Shangbang prison in advance through these conversations.
But chatting and chatting,
But he found something wrong.
These people keep their mouths shut about everything in prison.
Even if they occasionally leak their mouths, it makes people feel that they don't want to say it, but they really don't know anything.
It was completely to go and deliver the goods, and then it came out.
It doesn't sound like there's anything worth digging into.
But Ji Xun has now determined that these guys are indeed "mentally polluted".
But the porters didn't realize that there was something wrong with them, and they didn't even suspect it.
Ji Xun thought of a possibility.
It's their memory, or some cognition, that has been tampered with.
Ji Xun had seen a similar situation before when he was a corpse collector.
Inside the Golden Oak Corporation, there are ancient relics that can tamper with memories.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun became more curious about the Shangbang prison.
And he was sure that one of their colleagues had been replaced.
It's the hook-nosed guy.
The disguise was not bad, but Ji Xun discovered him in advance.
He was not the only one who thought of this method and infiltrated the prison.
Oh, the courage is not small.
Shangbang Prison is on the outskirts of the Upper City of Innocence.
There is a separate castle there.
It is also an ancient ruin.
After hours on a dark road, the truck finally saw the brightly lit castle in the dark mountains.
The guards at the gate of the castle inspected the truck and entered without incident.
Ji Xun sat by the car window, seemingly unintentional glances, but put the castle's garrison into his eyes.
It's normal to look at.
But as soon as the truck drove into the castle, the bright lights on the lighthouse shone down, and the enlightenment appeared: "You are exempt from the detection of the 'light of scrutiny' of the spiritual enchantment."
When Ji Xun saw this, he knew that there was a big problem.
He has a clown mask and is now highly exempt from occult spells.
As soon as I entered, there was this investigative method, which means that the prison was much more fortified than it seemed.
He didn't think he would be discovered.
And the other "hooknose" spy is most likely discovered.
Sure enough.
It was when Ji Xun and his party came in.
At the lighthouse, two prison wardens in golden oak suits looked at the moving truck and found something.
"Another 'bug' has come in."
"Go down and find that bug?"
"There may be more than one, there's no need to investigate, let's send them all to the secret cave."
"This is the case that several batches of transporters have been hired recently. There may already be suspicions on the part of the recruitment office. Moreover, the probing forces should have discovered some problems."
"It doesn't matter. Recently, there have been a lot of outsiders in Innocence City, so it's good to let the gang find some random people to come. As for Bureau X and the Cao family, the top has its own arrangements. It just so happens that there has been a shortage of 'miners' in the cave lately. Hey, those guys are willing to come and investigate, and send as many as they want."
"Got it. Warden Chief. ”
“.”
The two of them talked a few words, and one of them quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The truck drove into the prison's storeroom.
Here's the minus layer.
The dimly lit room was filled with various wooden boxes and burlap bags.
Occasionally, rats can be heard in the corner.
After Ji Xun and a few people got out of the car, they used the mechanical arm to start carrying the materials on the truck.
I didn't interact with anyone in the castle during the whole process.
The only thing that made him feel abnormal was that after entering the depths of the castle, the enlightenment kept refreshing.
"You are exempt from minor mental pollution"
"You're exempt from minor mental pollution"
「.」
In other words, this prison castle is full of spiritual pollution.
This made Ji Xun also puzzled.
Where does the pollution come from in this kind of place?
It seems to be underground?
I heard from a few colleagues that they only need to move the materials into the warehouse and the work is done.
This made Ji Xun not very good, and he was also wondering in his heart: "How did Atai learn that secret method back then?" ”
The City of Innocence of a decade ago may not have had the most complicated environment it has now.
At that time, there were only exiled prisoners, and the Golden Oak Security Company was not as large as it is now.
So a lot of the process may not be the same as it is now.
According to the current process, even if he comes a hundred times, he will not come into contact with the "senior" he thinks may be in Dong Jiuye's mouth.
Ji Xun knew he had to do something else.
But he also knew that their group had actually been targeted, and might have been discovered.
So there was no rash action.
He didn't have to take risks himself.
Because someone should be more anxious than he is to find out something.
Sure enough, just after half unloading the cargo, the "hooked nose" slipped away under the pretext of going to the toilet.
Ji Xun originally wanted that guy to trigger some accidents and see if there was any gain.
But it didn't take long for the guy to turn back again.
"Didn't you find out? Or was it discovered, and the people of Golden Oak didn't plan to care? ”
Ji Xun watched the hooked nose come back safely, and some possibilities came to his mind.
Maybe there's no secret to where the porters can come?
But as soon as this thought came together, suddenly a correctional officer in a suit walked in outside.
Ji Xun looked at the suit and knew that this guy's status in the Golden Oak Company was not low.
And the strength is also very strong.
The man in the suit came in and glanced at a few porters, and said directly: "Today is the delivery day, and the prison is not well staffed, so you guys, move the goods to the elevator and send them to the cell." When the time comes, one person will receive an extra hundred wages. ”
"Yes."
Although a few porters felt that they should not do this work, they listened to the increase in money, and they agreed to it.
However, hearing this, Ji Xun immediately realized: "Something is wrong!" ”
Although the statement of the man in the suit sounds like a normal procedure.
But in the current situation, if there is a little difference from normal days, it must be problematic.
It is most likely that the other party found out that there was a "spy" infiltrating, so they changed the delivery plan.
But Ji Xun is strange, why was the "hooked nose" discovered and asked them to deliver together?
"If you do deliver the goods, you may encounter unknown dangers"
Ji Xun calculates the degree of risk.
As far as the information is known, this Shangbang prison must be hiding a big secret.
He's never been lucky enough to sneak in without encountering danger.
If there is an outbreak now, even if there is a top card master in this prison, and Ji Xun has an angelic soul on his body, he may not have a chance to escape.
But to do so is more than just exposing yourself.
Even if he came back next time, he still couldn't think of a better way to infiltrate.
It will also inevitably make the enemy defensive.
As soon as his thoughts turned, Ji Xun also felt that this was an opportunity.
Access to the "cell".
Ji Xun has always suspected that the "mysterious man" is most likely a prisoner in prison.
It's hard to confirm some conjectures without going down and looking.
What's more, if the prison says that there are top masters, normally speaking, it will kill a few "spies", and there is no need for any tactics to lure the enemy in.
Maybe it's just a normal delivery process?
In short, if you don't go down for a trip, many doubts can't be solved.
Without figuring it out, the secrets of this prison will never be able to be understood.
The group pulled more than a dozen large boxes into the elevator on a manual trailer and then went all the way down.
Ji Xun also took a special look, it was full of black bread and a small amount of jerky.
Well, at least a human thing.
It's not about feeding something weird.
As the elevator descends, the pollution of the enlightenment tips becomes more and more serious.
Although he has no effect, for ordinary people, or low-level card masters, who have been in this environment for a long time, there is already a risk of mental aberration.
And the further down you go, the more intense this pollution becomes.
Ji Xun felt more and more strange.
What kind of prison will have such a strong mental pollution?
"Boom!"
Before you know it, the elevator goes to the end.
Ji Xun and a few people dragged the goods all the way through the dark corridor.
There were still no prisoners in sight, but correctional officers in isolation suits that looked like biochemical suits.
In those rooms passing by, there seemed to be a lot of people.
It looks like a prison, but rather an underground laboratory where horror monsters are kept.
Several of the porters also realized that something was wrong, and they were also entering the place for the first time.
Ji Xun looked at it and felt very calm in his heart, it was certain that there was danger, but where did this danger come from?
Since he didn't jump out of a bunch of people to surround and kill, he didn't rush to do it.
"Sir, can we not go?"
"Don't talk nonsense! It's coming soon. ”
“.”
The simple exchange was fruitless, and Ji Xun and a few people followed down.
After a short time, I came to the end of the road.
There is a steel cell door that is nearly two stories high.
and a dozen gun-wielding guards who were also wearing protective suits.
"Open!"
The man in the suit in the lead shouted.
The first opened the iron door, and it was pitch black inside.
"You can just send the supplies in with me."
As he spoke, the man in the suit took the lead and walked in.
Ji Xun looked at the dark environment at the door and guessed that this might be the prison area.
But it's also strange how the prison area feels like a cave entrance?
And after the iron door was opened, the pollution was already very exaggerated.
Ji Xun has confirmed that this is the source of pollution.
And this is the place where the legend says "there is no entry and no exit".
Seeing this, not only did he not tremble with horror like a few colleagues around him, but he faintly looked forward to it in his heart.
It's all here, and they can't be allowed to retreat.
The armed men at the door had already pointed their guns at several porters.
If you really want to say half a "no", I'm afraid that you will have to get a headshot on the spot.
The man in the suit stepped in first, followed by a few guards with guns, and there should not be some danger of death inside.
Although Ji Xun was fully vigilant, he didn't think that he would die immediately if he went in.
He shoved the supplies and walked into the darkness.
It was a very strange road.
It was pitch black all around, and only the light of two gas lamps illuminated the surrounding corner of the group.
There seems to be a kind of magic in that darkness.
It absorbs light, absorbs echoes, absorbs everything.
When people walk in it, it seems that all five senses are hallucinating, and they are in some kind of strange void.
Ji Xun saw through this kind of very high-grade enchantment.
It's so high that his current cognition and clown mask can't detect it.
"A very high standard of ancient ruins."
Seeing this enchantment, Ji Xun knew that the ruins of this prison were of extremely high standard.
The people of Golden Oak have spent so much manpower and material resources to make up this place, and there must be some big secret hidden in it.
One hundred and fifty-one steps, about 113 meters.
The vision suddenly cleared.
However, to Ji Xun's surprise, this is not the prison he expected.
It's like a mine, full of excavated traces?
It was the moment he came in, and the spiritual pollution of the enlightenment prompt skyrocketed tenfold.
There seemed to be a demon whispering in the dark in my ears, and people were dizzy to hear it.
The porters came in together, and their expressions all showed discomfort.
"Huh"
Ji Xun was not affected by anything.
But because of [JOKER], he can understand some of the demon's whispers.
Even when those chaotic spiritual forces swept in like a tide, he always felt that this spiritual pollution seemed to have a great origin.
It was a kind of hysterical fighting on a large battlefield, like thousands of troops rushing to kill.
Pain, fear, hideousness, rage, despair, numbness, anger. All kinds of negative emotions!
And after comprehending the magic solution, he can see the spiritual power threads formed by various negative emotions.
And in the cave in front of him, the eyes were full of spiritual threads like black mist.
"What the hell is this place?"
Ji Xun looked at the negative spiritual power in his eyes, which was even more exaggerated than the movement made by the Orlan remnant in Lion City!
This is an ancient ruin.
That is, this is handed down from time immemorial?
What kind of spiritual power lingers and can last for two or three thousand years?
However, as soon as his mind raced, he was immediately attracted by the more terrifying scene in front of him.
It was a group of them who walked in, like cold water dripping from a frying pot, and the originally dark cave instantly became agitated.
"Babbling", "Booming".
It's like the sound of rats running in a cave, and it sends chills down your spine to hear.
Ji Xun fixed his eyes and saw that it was a human being?
A group of ragged miners rushed over like crazy!
What's going on?
Are prison inmates miners?
Although it is not surprising that prisoners work as laborers anywhere.
But at the moment, the state of these miners is very strange.
One by one, the miners flocked to the city like red-eyed madmen.
It's not just that their mental state is strange, but because of the aberration, their bodies have become strange everywhere!
Three ears, one eye, four hands, two heads, giant view, distorted facial features.
Say it's human, it's more like a bunch of monsters.
"Smack, smack, smack"
Warning gunshots rang out.
The miners were a lot quieter in an instant.
The man in the suit in the lead was used to seeing it, and shouted: "The old rule, take out the 'ore' in exchange for food." The more you dig, the more you eat! ”
"Food is limited, there are ores, hurry up and exchange it, don't wait for it!"
With this, the miners took out their carefully cherished cloth bags from all over their clothes.
When I opened the cloth bag, I saw that it looked like a diamond, with tiny and slightly fluorescent crystals.
【Turbid Battle Spirit Crystallization (Gold)】
Explanation: An extraordinary substance containing super spiritual power; The crystal contains a meager 'high-level battle spirit', which can absorb and enhance the spiritual power and enhance the perception of the battle spirit;
"Gold quality!"
When Ji Xun saw these miners take out the crystals, he instantly understood everything.
He understood what was going on in this Shangbang prison!
Spirituality is almost the most expensive material of the same kind on the market.
There are crystals of silver and gold quality in front of you, which makes you doubt what you see!
It was the prisoners who took out these crystals, and the guards with guns began to exchange food.
These crystals that can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of crystals casually outside, can only be exchanged for a piece of black bread here!
Seeing this scene, even Ji Xun was not calm in his heart.
These crystals not only contain spiritual power, but also contain "battle spirit"!
Normally, this is the secret of cultivation that card masters above the fifth order will pursue.
Sword intent, fist intent, gun intent, knife intent. Wait a minute.
This is an extraordinary territory that only the truly strong can touch.
No!
Judging by the previous statement of Master Merlin.
Even above the legend, it requires a deep understanding of "meaning".
And the crystal nuclei produced in the mine can directly absorb and improve the comprehension of "meaning"?
From this point alone,
That's definitely a good idea. It's a strategic treasure that you can't find!
If you really want to be known by the outside world, I'm afraid that the Federation will do whatever it takes to grab it.
It turned out that those Orlan remnants had mastered a relic that produced such a treasure
The prisoners only went in and out, just to keep it a secret!
Mining for food.
Seeing those miners who were frantically grabbing food, Ji Xun guessed the fate of these porters.
The guys from Shangbang Jail did find the "spies", but they didn't intend to kill them.
Brought in, just to fill the miners.
The mental pollution here is so serious that the life of the miners is definitely not long.
However, those negative spiritual powers were not only not pollution for Ji Xun, but an excellent nourishment for cultivation.
Having comprehended the demonic solution, he could even comprehend what he needed directly from these negative spiritual powers.
Therefore, even if he knew that it was not easy to come in and get out, Ji Xun was not in a hurry.
Seeing this, another doubt appeared in his heart.
That is, how exactly are these crystals formed?
Also, his intuition told him that the "mysterious man" was really in this mine!
