Chapter XXXIV

It took Roach a while to figure out where he had been taken, and he couldn't be blamed for not being smart, a human who hadn't committed a crime might know what the warden was like just by looking at TV, but for the average magician, Jonlin's prison was too far away, as far away as it was buried underground.

Rocky suspected that he was deep underground, having been dragged into a Pendragon orbital system and had not seen sunlight since leaving it. They stuffed him into the only room outside the main door of the orbital system, and as he entered, he caught a glimpse of the sign on the door, "High Reverse Class, Number 2137". Then he was plunged into darkness, the door slammed shut behind him, and the deepening loneliness and fear left him too late to ponder the meaning of the number.

Roach waited anxiously in the dark, and after a moment of silence, the ground suddenly trembled, and he lost his balance, crouched down, one hand propped up on the ground, and realized that the room was moving. The space around it seems to be slightly compressed, and the room is like an elevator moving upwards, but perhaps it should be said that the room is more like a bubble floating upwards from the bottom of a pond.

With a slight popping sound, the bubble elevator came to an abrupt halt, and a bright light appeared above Roach's head. He looked up at the light above him, feeling like a frog at the bottom of a frozen pond, staring at the light curtain above him in confusion. Then, the walls suddenly brightened, and Rocky raised his hand in front of his eyes, and after a moment he lowered his hand and stared blankly around.

Instead of the four walls of the room becoming brighter, the four walls became transparent, and the light came in through the hall outside the room. Roach's room is about a small square of nine square meters, like a transparent cube cage. Through the wall, another cage can be clearly seen in front of it, separated by a narrow hallway, and there is also a figure behind the wall. Roach turned his head numbly, and behind him there was also an almost identical transparent cage, and behind the glass stood a figure. His left side, right side, and even the left front, left rear, right front, right rear, and right rear that he saw in his field of vision, were like being in a nine-square grid, with the same three-meter-long cube cage and the same figure. If he could rise into the air now, he would see an endless underground hall lined up with countless transparent cubes neatly arranged at one-meter intervals, each with a moving human figure trapped in it.

Roach stood still for a moment, and finally the frustration dragged him to the ground, where he sat down, his mind blank.

Roach had been in this prison for so long that time was a little blurry. There was no natural light, and no one cared about schedules, and Rocky suspected that they might be deliberately trying to confuse the prisoners' sense of time. When prisoners lose their ability to judge time, their lives will be more difficult and their spirits will be more likely to collapse. He could only surmise based on the number of times he was hungry that he should have been trapped here for more than two days.

At first, it took him a few hours to calm down, and he couldn't do it if he didn't want to, he had the time. It was as if they had dropped him down and decided to forget about him altogether. After hours of nervousness, anxiety, and pain, he couldn't concentrate anymore. He had broken the jar, and he didn't even want to look at the first meal, but now he had begun to distinguish with relish the origin of the food.

As for the purpose of this place, or what type of mage such a magnificent prison is used for, he has long since figured it out. It's hard to think clearly, the madman in the block next door has been rubbing fireballs, and he keeps setting them on fire under the protection of protective magic, and his block is like an atomic bomb sandbox. Roach has now decided to call him the Platypus Fire Beast, a name derived from a great game called Pokémon. As for the woman in the block in front of Roach, Roach called her the Ice Queen, and she would rain a blizzard in her block whenever she saw the platypus set fire, and she had buried herself alive at least three times. Each time a blizzard engulfs her, her block automatically heats up, melting the snow into water and leaving it out of the block's bottom drainage.

They alternated and tossed, and they were completely insane. Of course, Roach can see the huge commonality between them, in addition to the fact that they are both crazy, they both have abundant magical power, there are no blocks in the way, and they are all a bit devastating. In this way, the people who are locked in the other blocks may be even more terrifying because they don't look like crazy rabbits. Roach actually knows what kind of people they will fall into, high-energy antisocial personalities. High energy, yes, such mages, each one is like a burning block of energy.

Roach never dreamed that he would not be labeled as such.

He recalled several cases of such mages in his waiting, most of whom were humans, and every period of large-scale human war was a golden age for these people. At that time, the Mage Council has no time to protect its own people, and the human war ability has become stronger and stronger, and the Mage Council has long been anxious. However, in peacetime, it is not easy to do such a thing after all.

Luo Qi remembers several recent examples, including the ghost hotel killer in Japan, the gas explosion maniac in the Central Plains, the self-drive traveler devourer in the northwest, and the modern corpse chaser in Xiangxi...... There is even a person who named himself the Siberian Tiger Devouring God King to Destroy the World, and I heard that this magician was only sixteen years old when he was caught. Rocky decided to give himself a well-known code name, and after a few hours of thinking, he finally made the difficult decision that he should be called "King of Kings, Elvis Presley".

Roach also took the time to look at the quieter magicians around him, but it was not as interested in him as they were. Except for the Platypus and the Ice Queen, who ignored outsiders in their own world, Plenty had already noticed that the others had approached the transparent walls of the cube, observing all of his movements from all sides. This may be the reason why the prison is designed to be transparent, and every prisoner in it is deprived of privacy.

The cube is open, transparent, and feels like a soft glue, but it can hinder the power of magic. In addition to this, the cube is even completely insulated from sound, and the almost absolute silence that Roach experiences in the cube is there. In this silence, his breathing was noisy like noise, which was a crazy feeling, and Roach even tried to stop his breathing a few times.

Gradually, he realized that absolute silence was a more terrible torture than deprivation of privacy, and he listened to the sound of his own breathing, his own heartbeat, and for a while seemed to hear the tidal sound of his own blood flowing in his veins, and he could not tell which was real and which was hallucination. After a few hours of being here, he began to have ringing in his ears, white noise haunted him, and he tried his best to distract himself from thinking about something. Fortunately, he is very good at distraction, and the shortcoming of wandering in a daze has become his lifesaver.

As for the people around...... A few hours after he arrived, the middle-aged madman in the cube to his left slowly pulled out the faucet and poured a bubble of urine at him. Since then, he has all but given up observing them.

But it didn't take long for him to find out that judging from the configuration of his own room, the subspace in the cube as a toilet still reserved a pitiful amount of privacy for the prisoners, but this privacy was set by magical powers. Roach almost hated the magician's fascination with magic, so how much trouble could it be to build a few walls? Judging by the behavior of the people around him, they really trusted this magical barrier, and they should indeed not see each other. However, this private magic, which is based on psychological intervention, is of no use to Roach.

Finally Rocky lay down on the ground, which was not warm, but it was not cold. He stared at the light above his head, feeling like a floating corpse lying at the bottom of a pond, or a white mouse in a huge laboratory.

He lay down and tried to think about things that would make him happy, he had always been an optimist. But even he was trapped in the cube for a long time, and his mood became more and more gray, and despair came silently. He was thinking endlessly about what would happen next, and Du Zhengyi would inform the people who should be notified, and according to the mage's regulations, the people of Qionglin should also inform his parents.

He didn't know what would happen if his parents found out, and it was probably not easy for the two doctors to come to Qionglin, and it would take several days just to fill out the form and go through the process. What will happen next, he can't say for sure, they probably can't do anything. His parents were strict with him, but sometimes he was a little suspicious, and his father didn't really care that he didn't achieve anything. He vaguely hinted at his dad that he might choose to be a human in the future, and his dad wasn't particularly disappointed. It's just that at that time, Roach was a disappointed person, and he vaguely realized that his parents didn't really care about his son. Maybe what they didn't say was that they had already been disappointed in him.

Maybe his parents didn't pay attention to it at all when they heard this, and most of them thought that Du Zhengyi, who told them about it, was crazy. He didn't know how Du Zhengyi would explain to them, and whether he would lose patience in the process of explaining.

He thought about these things vaguely, and finally fell asleep. In the dream, he dreamed that he had fallen into a large pit, and with a light-headed flash, he opened his eyes sharply and found himself plunged back into darkness, and the cube was moving again.

Did they decide to interrogate him?
