Enforcer's Handbook

It took Angre Saffron a full ten minutes to finally accept the status quo.

This is the corridor of the casino. When the navigator lady with no facial features opened the door for him, this was the scene at the other end.

He was not isolated in a small space. The bustle of people downstairs made him feel as if he had returned to the liveliest place in the core city.

This place is really far away from the prison that people think of. He walked along the corridor to the end and saw the lively scene in the casino.

The dazzling array of guests covered almost all the ethnic groups Angre knew.

Creations whose entire bodies have been completely replaced by machines, deformed bodies that have lost their human form due to overdose of genetically modified drugs, and shadows whose outlines can only be seen vaguely.

These people who were originally incompatible with each other gathered here, completely forgetting each other's identities, spending a lot of money, and enjoying the excitement brought to them by the gambling game.

At this moment, a voice came from behind Angre.

"Oh? No one has been sent directly to Area D for a long time."

Angre followed the sound and saw that the person he was talking to was not a human being, but the surveillance probe at the corner on the second floor, "Welcome to area D7."

The other party's joking tone finally proved that this place was really a prison, not some paradise specially built for the rich.

"But according to the rules here, you still need to complete one piece of work before you can start a new life."

"Work?"

"Here are the slaves who failed at yesterday's work."

The surveillance system emitted a light blue beam, and then several figures with photos appeared in Angre's prosthetic eyes. "No matter what method you use, teach them a lesson and let them know how to work hard." The importance of work.”

The characters in the photo are also of "different races". Maybe they were all originally human, but they became what they are now for various reasons.

If he leaves the prison and appears in any area of ​​the coalition government, he is a monster that will immediately make local headlines.

In these photos, Angre found a familiar figure.

The man in the photo is covered with chains, and half of his body has been transformed into a machine. When the photo was taken, he was sweating profusely while pulling a mine cart.

Benjamin Abele.

Angre would never forget the man's appearance, but he was surprised by his current situation.

The purpose of Benjamin delivering him to the coalition government was to exchange for the permission to enter the prison. Although this man had a lot of troubles with the company in the past, even if it was for the sake of face, the Council would not let him enter the prison on the first day. It turned into this bleak appearance now.

"Looking forward to your performance newbie, wish you good luck."

The work requirements were mindless, and the consequences of failing to complete the task were not viciously explained to him. Just as Angre was deep in thought, the surveillance probe made a sound again.

Only the speaker's voice changed, and it was also mixed with the "sizzling" sound of electricity.

It was a girl's voice, probably only a high school student, but she directly reported his name, "Angre Saffron, I don't have much time. If you want to survive, listen carefully to me, novice. Work is a trap. To you, the prisoners outside D Area are not slaves, but enemies. They will try to kill you when you check your work, and then take your place in D Area."

"who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that they gather in settlements in various areas every night after dark. That's their safe zone. You can find them by following the direction of the light. At night, when you do something, you can see them Don't talk nonsense after them, just beat them until they can't move, and I will send you the coordinates then... Before it gets dark, get ready as soon as possible."

Then, the girl's voice disappeared along with the sound of electricity.

…

What happened in the casino was naturally seen by Song Lan and Lu Xiang. The Mother of Machines was showing Lu Xiang how to use the facilities in the prison. The entire prison was a box garden world created by artificial intelligence, based on the first area. It was a simulation of a mechanical psychic war, but later it became what it is now because the war did not start.

She opened access for the two of them so that they could know what was going on in every part of the prison at all times.

But this is not a good sign.

Being unable to leave immediately after the handover is completed means that they are in trouble.

"There is only one area that is not within our monitoring range. It is located deeper in Area D and is the territory of another ruler."

The corresponding information was quickly displayed in front of the two of them.

Another ruler has a very high reputation among the prisoners. He is the one who divided Area D and built it into the paradise it is today. He also wrote the rules between Area C and Area D. .

"You deliberately allowed him to do what he did."

Lu Xiang said.

Observing humans is one of the interests of this mother of machines. The prisoners in the box garden are like guinea pigs in her eyes. She has prepared different ecological environments for them in different prison areas. On this basis, she has not thought about Instead of intervening in the daily actions of the prisoners, they observe their lives through the ubiquitous monitoring facilities in the prison area.

There is always a feeling of electronic cricket fighting.

When did the Mother of Machines catch Song Lan’s quirks?

The people imprisoned here are all the most evil people in the history of the coalition government. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as "violent crickets". To lock such a group of people in a limited space, what happened Fighting is inevitable.

"This is only part of the reason. The more important reason is that if I have a bad relationship with him, the aftermath is likely to cause the entire prison to collapse. At that time, the prisoners will take the opportunity to escape from the damaged place to the outside world."

Artificial Intelligence has always attached great importance to promises. She once promised the Council that prisoners sent to prison will never have the possibility of leaving. "After all, he and you are gods from the same place. For some unknown reason, he will appear at any time." As soon as the first group of prisoners sneaked in, the operation started."

"Come from the same place as us...you mean the upper world?"

"Nothingness" received a notice from Song Lan in advance and left the upper world before the war broke out. Otherwise, when the Hongmen Banquet arrived, their old friends would have no choice - either go with the flow and attack the devil Song Lan, or Just join the devil's camp and become the enemy of the entire upper world.

But apart from that, Lu Xiang really couldn't remember anyone else who escaped that storm.

At this moment, the Mother of Machines was using a subtle way to hope that they would go to Area D to meet the ruler from the same place as them before leaving.

"Song Lan, what do you think... What are you doing sneakily over there alone?"

The serious conversation between the two was interrupted.

Lu Xiang turned his head and noticed a strange picture on Song Lan's screen. From the beginning, his screen was not fixed on the confused Angre in the casino, but moved to Area C, a dimly lit mine.

This is the main job of the prisoners in Area C every day - to carry ore and transfer these magical ores that can bring energy to Area D to designated locations.

"Scientific research is being conducted."

"Scientific research?"

"I'm very curious about what kind of ore can be used as fuel to solve all the energy problems in Area D."

This ore is no less magical than the "solar" energy they encountered in the underground kingdom before. If it is controlled by the coalition government, it may set off a new wave of technological revolution.

Lu Xiang took a deep breath. She was really speechless about this stupid bird - this guy never joined their discussion from the beginning!

Instead, the Mother of Machines asked with great interest, "What conclusion did you draw?"

"The conclusion is that the prison's energy system has nothing to do with ores, and the same is true for the energy supply in Area B. Their existence is equivalent to the tasks you set. They themselves are just some glowing stones, but only after completing the 'task', 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 "fellows" has not reached the point of tension. On the contrary, they cooperate tacitly and secretly to rule the prison together.

"Yes, with the existence of resources, there will be a gap in the identities of prisoners, and it will be more in line with the ecology of the real world."

"Based on this theory, I discovered that the prison has the authority to not only observe every corner of the prison area at any time, but also to generate energy."

"Generate resources?"

Lu Xiang immediately became alert and rushed to Song Lan's side, "What did you create again?"

No need to speak, Song Lan's screen has answered everything.

What appeared in Lu Xiang's eyes was a familiar figure. Benjamin, who had been busy all night, stopped in front of this wonderful sight. He looked around and made sure that no one was around, then he picked up the shining figure on the ground with his trembling hands. Glowing sword.

The light radiating from the whole body of the sword was brighter than the ore. He tried to use the sword blade instead of the miner's hoe. He lightly chiselled the ore, and a whole piece of ore with complete cuts fell at his feet.

And on the edge of this bright sword, there were two paragraphs of text that made him particularly concerned:

"Holy Sword, attack power +350"

"The Holy Sword was handed over to the hands of the rebels by the warden himself during the Prison War"

"Song Lan, tell me honestly, is that person with the black beard actually you?"

No matter from any angle, Song Lan's judgment about Benjamin was wrong at the beginning. Even if his life was not in danger, there was no way he could cause any waves in this prison.

Putting him among these extremely vicious criminals, he can only be described as mediocre. Maybe if you pick a prisoner randomly among the slaves in Area C, he may not be someone else's opponent.

After all, the only outcome waiting for him was death. With his current broken body, there was no way he could go deep into Area D and get information from the area manager that would allow him to continue his life.

For a desperate man, this bright holy sword undoubtedly ignites his last hope and will directly bring about a huge change in the prison.

History has proven countless times that rule maintained purely by force is destined to be short-lived. It may only take a small spark before a war breaks out between Area C and Area D.

"You also took the name of the warden!"

Lu Xiang had to severely criticize Song Lan. In the past, he could be said to have a "broom star physique" and was always involved in strange incidents, but this time he was clearly the one who picked things first.

To 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 riot.

According to her assessment, such bad behavior requires at least two hours of private criticism and education.

"I think this is quite interesting. The conflict between Area C and Area D has reached an irreconcilable point. The fact that this balance has been maintained until now is beyond my expectation."

"And you calm down first, Lao Lu."

Song Lan defended herself, "Didn't I just say it? Regardless of the ore or the sword, they are actually very fancy-looking props. The +350 attack power is fake. If Benjamin Abele holds this sword If you go to Area D to start a riot, you should be killed in one round."

This is like a level 1 character who doesn't even have basic equipment and spent his life savings to buy this equipment dropped by death.

Then the holy sword will complete its historical mission and fall into the hands of the opponent.

But reality is different from games after all. Benjamin is not the kind of reckless man who thinks he is invincible after picking up a weapon from the wild, and immediately makes himself an opinion leader, inciting the slaves in Area C to rebel against Area D.

After carefully studying the Holy Sword for a period of time, he made the wisest judgment.

He 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."

"That's not your style."

Lu Xiang was a little surprised. In order to avoid work, this stupid bird could behave like rolling on the bed, complaining that he had a headache and stomachache, and being determined not to get out of bed.

"Because I found that there are too many old friends here. Didn't you recognize the voice just now?"

"You mean RT6?"

Of course, Lu Xiang recognized the girl's voice coming from the surveillance camera. When she said goodbye last time, she and the "Emperor" decided to investigate military technology. As a result, she was imprisoned after this investigation.

But RT6 is the child of the Mother of Machines, and as outsiders, it is not convenient for them to interfere too much in their housework.

"She seems to be fighting alone now."

Song Lan adjusted the surveillance and locked it on a street outside the casino. After hacking into the casino system and making contact with Angre, the petite figure tightened his windbreaker and disappeared deep into the alley.

The "Emperor" who had always been inseparable from her was not with her this time.

"No wonder she wants to contact Angre, so..."

"ah."

Song Lan nodded with a heavy face, "The worst outcome is that the 'Emperor' was detained by the security personnel of the Fourth District Airport because she was carrying too many deadly prosthetics, and she was unable to go to the First District with her."

"...Are you sure he wasn't killed by other prisoners here?"

It was another shocking speculation, but Lu Xiang had long been used to it.

"The 'Emperor' is everyone's good friend, don't say such terrible things like it's nothing!"

Small theater its three hundred and twenty-one:

A certain day of a certain year, a certain month, a Tuesday, afternoon

The reality is still full of cruelty. Lu Xiang’s passionate application to the council was rejected. In the view of the council members, young people do not need such a time-consuming, laborious and laborious activity as falling in love. This not only takes up a lot of their Time will also make them distracted when they go to work, which greatly affects work efficiency.

Young people should work harder and contribute more to strengthen themselves. Even if they occasionally have free time, they should improve themselves, such as taking the initiative to take on more work for the department.

This is also of great benefit to young people’s personal abilities.

"It's all prejudice."

Lu Xiang was lying on the table, feeling very depressed.

She stared at Song Lan across the table, who was concentrating on watching the movie with headphones on, as if nothing else in the world concerned him.

"Why do they think that being in love will make people absent from work every day, arriving late and leaving early, and being absent-minded during work..."

Suddenly, all doubts were solved.

All of the critics' accusations of love were directed at one person.

The culprit seemed to feel something, and raised his head to look back at her with doubts.

"This matter must be clarified!"

Lu Xiang made a decision, "They must understand that this stupid bird is like this even if it doesn't fall in love. It has nothing to do with love at all!"
