The warden who guards the witches

Chapter 73 Revenge Deadline

“…This is a very normal phenomenon. Her deadline is coming soon.” Standing in the corridor outside the confinement room, Arsena said coldly.

“What deadline?” Aiden asked.

“The deadline of the resurrected corpse. The corpse demon, after all, is to use necromancy to forcibly attach the resentful spirit that has left the body to the corpse, so that it can continue to stay in the world with the resentment of revenge. This spell actually has a duration, usually only about a year.” Arsena said and raised a finger.

“So from the beginning, she only had one year to take revenge?”

“Yes, before successfully killing the enemy, the effect of resurrection will not disappear. But if the deadline is reached, regardless of whether her revenge is successful or not, the spell will be forcibly lifted.” Arsena adjusted her glasses.

“Then what is the connection between this and her sudden change?” Aiden continued to ask.

"This is the characteristic of the resurrected corpse. If revenge has not been successful, the closer the deadline is, the deeper her revenge will be, and the strength of the resentful spirit is determined by the strength of the resentment. This is similar to the "last breath" when a person is about to die. A living person may temporarily regain vitality when dying, and the resentment of the resentful spirit will also increase significantly when it is about to be forced to die." Arsenal explained in detail in a professional tone.

Aiden fell into deep thought after listening.

In other words, Silain's magic power suddenly increased only because of her own characteristics as a corpse demon.

Silain seemed to be able to feel that her deadline was approaching, so she wanted to take revenge on Camilla more and more persistently.

This would be a big hidden danger for prison management.

Let's not talk about whether she has a chance to kill Camilla after her resentment increases. The strong resentment emanating from her is enough to threaten other prisoners and prison guards.

Theoretically, if the strength of the prison barrier is strengthened, the power of Silain should be suppressed, but in that case, the cost of maintaining the barrier will also increase a lot - just for one prisoner, it is obviously not cost-effective. As the head of the prison, he also has to consider the reasonable allocation of prison resources.

When managing a prison, you will always encounter such a headache.

"Is there any simpler way to deal with this problem?" Aiden asked Arsenal, an expert in necromancy, for a method.

"The simplest way..." Arsenal raised her hand and pointed to the confinement room where Silain was, and then pointed to the room where Camilla was in the distance, "It is to get rid of one of them, use necromancy to beat the corpse demon to death, or help her kill the enemy."

The dead way for necromancers who have long been accustomed to death to think about solutions is always so fresh and unworldly. If they can solve the problem by killing people... they basically choose to kill people.

Indeed, the simplest and most straightforward way to solve the problem is to directly get rid of the person who created the problem.

But Aiden obviously can't use this method.

"If I can execute the prisoner once and for all, there will be few people left in the core area." Aiden rolled his eyes and sighed, "Please change to a feasible method."

"I can add an extra seal to the corpse demon to temporarily suppress her amplified power." Arsenal thought for a while and replied, "When her deadline is up, she will naturally disappear."

"Then, how long will it take?"

"It's hard to say, but judging from the current situation, it should not exceed two months at most."

"That's the only way." After a moment of silence, Aiden nodded in response.

His duty is to maintain order in the prison. Although Silan's life experience is worthy of sympathy, he can't give up his position and let the other party commit crimes in his prison.

Suppressing Silan's power and strengthening supervision of her until she dies with hatred is the most correct approach from his position at the moment.

After explaining the situation on the scene to his subordinates, Aiden returned to his office and prepared to take a break.

But just as he sat down on the chair and his butt was not warm yet, someone knocked on the door of the office.

Aiden sighed helplessly and shouted, "Come in."

Isabella, the young prison guard in charge of the core area, walked into the office and saluted Aiden: "Sir!"

"Isabella? I remember that you should be on duty at the reception area today?" Aiden suddenly remembered, "What's the matter?"

There are people who come to the prison every day to apply to meet with prisoners, most of whom are relatives, friends or lawyers of prisoners. Isabella's duty today is to receive these people.

"Yes, a young man who wants to meet with prisoners in the core area just came, but the situation is a bit special, so I came to ask you for instructions." Isabella reported respectfully.

Under normal circumstances, as long as there is a meeting opportunity in prison, the relatives, friends or lawyers of prisoners can directly approve the meeting with prisoners.

But if the prisoner has a situation in prison, it needs to be approved by the prison administration department and the prison leaders.

"Who does he want to see?"

"He wants to see prisoner 3271." Isabella said carefully.

"Silane?" Aiden frowned slightly. "Who is he to Silain?"

"He claims to be the nephew of prisoner 3271."

"Where did that corpse demon get his nephew?" Aiden was slightly surprised.

He knew Silain's situation. Silain was a widow and had no brothers or sisters. Her only relative was her son who was killed in a gang fight a year ago.

"But looking at the interview records, he came three times this year. Prisoner 3271 also agreed to meet with him. He also brought money and objects to prisoner 3271." Isabella explained.

If the prisoner is unwilling to admit his relationship with the person he is meeting and does not agree to the meeting, then the meeting will naturally not be established.

In this way, at least this so-called "nephew" has a certain relationship with Slaine.

"But prisoner 3271 is currently in solitary confinement. He will be detained for a week. According to regulations, we cannot meet with him." Aiden shook his head.

"I've already told him so." Isabella's expression looked a little helpless, "But he insisted on meeting the prison leader, otherwise he would not leave. Well, sir..." Isabella Bella carefully looked at Aiden's face and asked, "Do you need me to ask the riot squad to drive him out?"

Aiden thought for a while and finally waved his hand: "No, just arrange a meeting room for him. I'll go over and see him now."

He suddenly remembered the fact that Arsenal had just told him - Slaine's remaining time was running out.

If the person who came to meet Slaine was really related to Slaine, then as prison guards, they were obliged to inform the other party about this.
