Chapter 19: Interesting, Interesting!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yuchi was wearing the attire of an ordinary prisoner and sitting on a rock. 30 minutes after the helicopter arrived at the prison, he looked toward the prison.
The Netherworld Sea prison was a relatively safe place, and it was perfect for fishing.
It had only been a few months since the last incident in the Netherworld Sea prison. Although he did not know the exact details of what was going on, he had his eyes and ears on the scene.
It was only 300 meters away, so although Yuchi was sitting by the sea, he could hear the arguments breaking out in the prison grounds.
His dark eyes gradually narrowed.
…
In the prison, in the courtyard next to the landing area.
“I’ll ask you one last time. Whoever went down to the prison basement, just admit it!” Captain Chen looked at the prisoners in front of him in consternation.
The prisoners had already been gathered together. Countless people were milling about, and their eyes were filled with confusion.
They did not understand what was going on, and did not know why they had all been gathered in the courtyard.
Of course, this was due to a very simple matter.
As soon as Captain Chen and the others entered the basement area, they realized that the soul beast had disappeared without a trace. After carefully investigating the surroundings, they found traces of a battle!
Now, he was holding a fragment of a motorcycle helmet in his hand, waving it about.
......
“Who does this belong to?”
The prisoners certainly did not know anything about this situation. They just looked at the guy in front of them in confusion.
“What is he talking about?”
“What does he mean by prison basement?”
“Is there a basement in the prison?”
“I don’t get it.”
As he watched the prisoners whisper to each other in confusion, Captain Chen became increasingly frightened.
“It’s over. The soul beast that was underneath the prison has disappeared!”
“I’m really finished.”
“The Netherworld Sea prison is managed by me. If the soul beast has disappeared, they will definitely blame it on me!”
His legs went weak, and cold sweat ran down his back. He started feeling dizzy and his mind went blank.
“What should I do now?”
Captain Chen looked at the two people nearby in fear. “The soul beast has actually disappeared!”
Feng Yi was also quite surprised. She simply stood there quietly and calmly.
She recalled what they had seen when they entered the basement area. There were fragments of a shattered motorcycle helmet everywhere, and there was even a deep pit in the ground.
The pit looked like it had been created by something or someone.
This proved that a battle had taken place here!
In that case, who was the one who found this basement and started a fight with the soul beast?
Feng Yi was puzzled.
The beast tamer next to her was calm, but he also seemed a little bored.
He walked directly over to Captain Chen’s side.
“I don’t think you need me to remind you.”
“Our soul beast was kept under your prison. The prison is under your care, therefore you will have to shoulder the responsibility for the loss of the soul beast.”
Now that the soul beast was lost, the chances of it being found were slim to none.
Judging from the battle traces, the soul beast had most likely been killed.
What was the point of asking around in such a situation? There was no meaning to it. It would be better to think about how to bear or shift the responsibility.
Captain Chen was dumbfounded.
Was this really the responsibility of the Netherworld Sea prison?
‘What did it have to do with us? You guys were the ones who secretly sent the soul beast to our Netherworld Sea prison!’
‘Now you had the gall to say that we did not take good care of it! And after losing the soul beast, you’re actually asking me to compensate you? What kind of f*cked up logic was this?’
It was as if he had infiltrated someone’s home, put 100 yuan inside, and after the 100 yuan disappeared without anyone knowing, the homeowner had to bear the compensation!
It seemed that he had seen everything that life had to offer now.
“Enough, don’t look at me like that. You’re well aware of our relationship with the Department of Inspection.”
“Someone has to take responsibility for this matter.”
“Hehe, I believe that a smart person like you should understand what I mean.”
The beast tamer looked at Captain Chen oddly and thought, ‘Is this guy an idiot? In this situation, he still wanted to talk about responsibility? Shouldn’t he just directly fob off the responsibility to these prisoners? Why don’t you just find a prisoner to take the blame? Why are you looking so panicked? You don’t look like someone who can achieve great things!’
When Captain Chen heard the words Department of Inspection, he was frightened! After some confusion, he finally understood what the beast tamer was hinting at.
‘So that’s how it is. He’s trying to shirk responsibility!” His mouth was dry, and he looked at the beast tamer next to him in disbelief.
“Why are you looking at me?”
“We don’t have time to waste. We’ll give you five minutes. If you can’t solve it, we’ll just leave.” The beast tamer said coldly.
Captain Chen was afraid.
He was about to cry now. This group of people was too shameless!
It was them who had sent the soul beast here, which had caused the deaths of so many prisoners in the Netherworld Sea prison. Yet now that the soul beast was lost, they were trying to make the prisoners the scapegoats!
“This...”
“Is that what power is like?!”
His mind was working quickly.
Captain Chen’s expression changed from shock to disbelief, and then to calmness and finally acceptance.
He remembered…
He remembered what the man in gold-rimmed glasses had done earlier.
He had to learn from that experience!
Then, under the confused gazes of the other prisoners, he spoke.
“It’s okay if you don’t know what happened. I’ll give you five minutes to come up with someone to take responsibility for this matter.”
“Five minutes. If you can’t find someone to take responsibility for this matter, then you’ll all have to take the responsibility as a group.”
“All of you will receive severe punishment. The first punishment will be the reduction of rations to the Netherworld Sea prison.”
Captain Chen’s eyes turned dull after he finished speaking.
The beast tamer sneered. “Why didn’t you do this earlier? We’re all in the same boat, so what’s the point of pretending to be nice?”
The prisoners were instantly agitated.
“What’s the situation?”
“We don’t even know what’s going on. Are we going to take the blame for something we know nothing about?”
“They didn’t even tell us what we’re taking the blame for”
“It’s so strange.”
“Are you guys going to cut off our food supply?!”
“You guys are breaking the rules!”
“You’re all crazy!”
“Who should be in prison now? Who’s the criminal now?”
The prisoners were in a state of uproar, and the scene instantly erupted in raucous cries.
The prisoners were desperate!
They looked at the three people in front of them in disbelief.
How could they be so vicious?
“It’s not our fault. Why should we bear the responsibility?”
“Aren’t we already suffering immensely as prisoners here?”
“You bunch of evil things!”
“You guys really disgust us!”
“If you have the guts, then go ahead and cut off our food supply!”
The prisoners roared angrily. If it had not been for the Golden Eagle beside the beast tamer, they would have attacked the group.
They would have rioted!
Captain Chen’s expression was extremely gloomy. He stood behind the beast tamer like a puppet that had lost its soul.
He did not dare to look the prisoners in the eye. Their questions pierced his conscience, and he did not dare to answer them.
Five minutes passed by quickly. Of course, no one stood up!
The beast tamer understood the meaning of their actions.
“Tsk, tsk, so you all are taking full responsibility for this. Taking and hiding away our treasured soul beast.”
“I wish you a happy life in this prison, hahaha!”
The beast tamer cackled. He looked at the useless Captain Chen with disdain. He picked up his phone and was about to make a call to report the situation.
“Just watch and see how you all suffer later.”
“You’re still clamoring like monkeys.”
“Human scum like you guys don’t deserve to live.”
The beast tamer scolded them ruthlessly. His words were extremely arrogant... However, the call did not go through.
He checked his phone to make sure it was working properly, and then tried again.
In the end, he still could not get through.
How strange…
“Is there no signal tower in the Netherworld Sea prison?” The beast tamer asked doubtfully.
“There is,” Captain Chen replied immediately.
“Then why won’t my call go through?” the beast tamer asked.
“Could the signal tower be broken?” Captain Chen was confused.
He also took out his phone and tried to call the emergency number, but the result was the same.
While the two of them were confused, a man wearing a motorcycle helmet walked out of a dark room next to the signal tower calmly.
One could see that all the cables inside the small dark room had been violently destroyed. All of the equipment inside the small dark room had also turned into scrap metal.
This person was, of course, Yuchi.
He was amused.
A crazy-sounding voice spoke up from behind the helmet. Anyone who heard it would tremble.
“Interesting…”
“Interesting!”
“Is it time to hunt?”
Yuchi was obviously going to do something.
