Enforcer's Handbook

prison Break.

After seeing the patterns drawn on the wall, these two words popped into Song Lan's mind.

There was once a TV series in which the protagonist tattooed the structure of a prison on his body and took the initiative to go to jail to implement a jailbreak plan. And the only one who had the ability and courage to carry out a jailbreak plan on Artyom's territory was Lu Xiang. teacher.

And this also explains one of the reasons why, as a spy master, she had to disguise herself as an identity that would be revealed at a glance and was escorted back here without any resistance.

The bug in front of me is not the same kind as the hornworm, but a certain technology developed by the coalition government.

Thinking of this, Song Lan immediately gave up his friend-making tactics, and instead cowered like a wild hornworm and quickly fled to the side.

After the other party's attention returned to the work of drawing the map, he began a long observation.

This observation lasted most of the night.

Night is the time when the human spirit is at its weakest. Although there are still night rangers patrolling the prison, the intensity is much lower than during the day.

Song Lan waited patiently until it was confirmed that the other party had left, and then he controlled the Hornworm Warrior to the structural diagram on the wall. After carefully reading the structural diagram, he gradually understood the obscure symbols on the right side. Most of them represented location and a tip.

The structure of the prison was much more complex than he imagined. Coupled with the dark environment and closed cells, Lu Xiang's teacher could not figure out the prisoner's specific situation even after being sent in for nearly three days.

It is obvious from these symbols that she is looking for someone. This seems to be one of her purposes for sneaking here, and it is also very likely that the rangers did not immediately shoot her as a spy, but brought her all the way back to this place. city ​​reasons.

An hour later, the question that troubled Song Lan had an answer.

Just as he was about to find a safe place to log off and sleep, a commotion coming from underneath the ventilation duct caught his attention.

He heard a familiar name from the conversations among the jailers - Artyom.

Artyom's arrival put the jailers into a state of high tension. He followed Artyom's footsteps through several areas and finally came to an unfamiliar area.

With a "squeak", the cell door was opened.

The light under the ventilation duct was still dim. From this angle, only two dark figures could be seen. Before he could clearly hear the conversation in the cell, the sound from far and near in the duct forced him to hide in the darkness. at.

The mapping bug appears again.

But this time its actions were much bolder. After the cell door was opened, it jumped straight down from the ventilation duct, and after landing, it quietly got into the cell.

The conversation in the cell did not last long and ended on bad terms.

The cell door was closed again, and the footsteps gradually faded away, leaving only darkness and silence.

"Your Excellency Verdo."

After an unknown amount of time, a mechanically synthesized female voice sounded in the cell, which seemed particularly clear in this absolutely silent environment.

Song Lan, who was extremely foresighted, followed the ventilation duct in a wide circle and reached the other end of the room through the water pipe. Otherwise, due to the sound insulation measures of the cell, he would probably have missed this conversation.

In the past few days, he had heard this name more than once.

The former leader of the Fourth Neutral Country, during his term of office, he fought against all odds and signed a Neutral Country Covenant with the coalition government. His greatest wish was to lead the people of this country back to life on the ground.

The coalition government spoke highly of Verdot, sharply condemned Artem, who overthrew Verdot's regime, and expressed strong regret for the death of Verdot.

But to the people of the fourth neutral country, Verdo is a sinner. The Artem Army said that he violated the oath he made before the war and cooperated with the coalition government for the sake of power, making the entire country a puppet of the coalition government. .

Before today, Song Lan thought that Verdo had been killed in the coup.

But if we extrapolate based on time, it means that Verdo has been imprisoned in this dark cell for more than ten years!

Song Lan couldn't help but express concern about his mental health.

"I didn't expect you guys to actually come."

The other's voice was low and hoarse, as dry as wind-swept straw.

For the first time in a long time, he heard other voices in his cell.

However, facing this person who might be able to rescue him from here, his voice did not sound the slightest bit happy, "It seems that Artyom's evaluation of you is not completely wrong."

Since the coup, his former aides have requested assistance from the coalition government several times. However, all the requests for assistance carefully planned to avoid Artyom have ultimately come to nothing. Apart from moral condemnation, the coalition government has not taken any measures. Substantive action.

More than ten years later, his staff had been completely dismantled by the intelligence agency established by Artyom, leaving only an old man waiting for death in this cell.

Just when Verdo had given up any hope of restoring his reputation, agents of the coalition government came to him.

"I can't help but wonder, what has changed after so many years that made you change your mind?"

Was Artyom causing trouble again?

Or have the Rangers of the Fourth Neutral Country developed to a point where even the coalition government dare not ignore them?

Or did the meeting with Eschenweger make them feel a crisis?

These are all the reasons given by lobbyists of the coalition government, but in Verdo's view, they are not the real reasons. The real reason is that not long ago, due to a mistake by the intelligence department, some rumors about the fourth neutral country were revealed. The secret is out.

An energy source not controlled by the coalition government appeared before them like the tip of an iceberg.

Then the invincible intelligence service was breached.

Agents of the coalition government even sneaked into the cell under Artem's nose and came to him.

Verdo sneered, "If you are here for the 'sun', you'd better give up as soon as possible."

"My mission is to rescue you from the Fourth Neutral Country."

The mechanically synthesized female voice neither admitted nor denied it.

"I don't need your help."

"Sir Verdo, I am not asking for your opinion. I am just stating a fact to you - the jailbreak plan is in a few days. I hope you will be ready by then."

The mechanical female voice continued, "This is not all for you, but also for the justice of this world."
