Chapter 54 Spark Prison (Part 2)(1/2)
If you look down at the entire Spark Prison from the air, you can find that the layout of this prison is quite similar to the ring-set entertainment city in a modern movie. The entire Spark Prison is composed of countless rings.
At the center of the prison, it is also the most extensive part of the prison. It belongs to the detention area, where about 15,000 prisoners are imprisoned. More than 40% of them are very powerful warriors, and even a small number of magicians.
Almost all the powerful senior criminals in the entire empire will be sent here to guard the army. In addition to the conventional defensive arrangements, there are also a team of elite knights and some high-level warriors.
But their mission is to guard the prison and they will not be able to do anything else easily.
There is only one intersection in and out of the detention area, and the rest are covered with iron walls and traps everywhere.
After leaving the detention area, it is the warning area and buffer area.
These two areas are connected with blank strips, with only a few guards guarding nearby.
Behind this blank zone is another high wall. Behind the high wall is the death zone, extending to the outermost main wall. The entire area is full of various alchemy traps and a large number of guards.
Once a prisoner initiates a riot, the alert area will first launch an alarm, and the buffer area will become a confrontation zone between the two sides. A large number of knights will flock to this area and drive the prisoners back to prison.
If the prisoner is too strong to resist, the guard will retreat behind the buffer wall and enter the death area, where the prisoners are blocked and killed with the four defense lines arranged by the Spark Prison. Since Spark Prison is located in the Villas Mountains, the defense facilities in the death area are not only aimed at rioting internal prisoners, but also have a special function to deal with armed prison robbery by large-scale external forces.
In addition, the entry of the area is not the same as a straight line.
For example, the entrance to the detention area is on the west side, the entrance to the buffer area is on the south side, and the entrance to the prison is on the east side.
This makes prisoners have to take many more distances in this maze-like prison if they want to escape from the passage.
Walking on this maze-like road, Xiu Yi looked very leisurely. He was like a boy next door, who came to watch this place with pure curiosity. He always looked at this curiosity and then there. He always wanted to touch it and approach it and watch it.
The guards had to remind him repeatedly: "Be careful, Master Dardanell, you can't go there."
"What's wrong?"
“That’s the trap area, if you get in there, no one can save you.”
"What about here?"
"Oh, here leads to a Warcraft area. Every night, we will put some Warcraft out and they wander around the fixed area. These Warcraft may not be powerful, but they have a very sensitive sense of smell and are very good early warning tools."
"So that's it." Xiuyi shrugged.
He pointed to the small door not far away: "I guess it's the cafeteria."
The guard was helpless: "No, Master Dardanell, the cafeteria is on the other side. The place you refer to leads to the magic tower, and it is also an area where soldiers enter and exit. Except for the main entrance of the prison, this is the only small door that can be entered and exited, which is specially used for internal personnel. Of course, there is no such complicated inspection procedure as the main entrance."
"So that's it. Strangely, it looks big here, but why didn't I see a criminal?"
"You are now in the safe area, Master Dardanell. Spark Prison is divided into detention areas, buffer areas, warning areas, safety areas and death areas. The outermost line is the death area. Once any prisoner rushes to the death area, we will kill it immediately. The safety area is for observation. It is still a distance from the detention area. You need to pass the buffer area and the warning area to reach it."
"So I can't see those prisoners?"
"In fact..." The guards hesitated: "This is not allowed. You know that Spark Prison is not a scenic spot. Although due to its fame, many nobles come to visit here every year, unless necessary, the area behind the buffer zone will not be open to any outsiders. Unless the special consent of the Count, I cannot take you there. The establishment of a safe zone is actually to meet the needs of some people, but for the inside, the guests are not authorized to enter."
Xiu Yi nodded: "It must be said that this place has aroused my great interest. If the previous tour was just out of boredom, then now I have indeed treated it as a good scenic spot. I long to hear the prisoners wailing under the whip and look at their miserable faces. I really want to know what kind of performance will be when people are in pain. Maybe I should tell the Earl, and he might make an exception for the sake of that painting."
As he said that, Xiu Yi turned around and returned to the white building.
After a while, Xiu Yi smiled and put a small internal pass sign on his body: "What's your name, Guard?"
"Irving, Master Dardanell."
"So Soldier Owen, your warden has agreed to my request. Now I can enter and exit here at will. Do you have any questions?" Xiu Yi pointed to the pass sign on his body and said.
"No problem, Master Dardanell. But I hope you really like to appreciate everything inside, as you said. I hope that won't disgust you."
"It's so interesting. Your warden said to me just now." Xiu Yi shrugged indifferently, took out a Jinweit and put it in the guard's hand.
Everything was as expected by Xiu Yi. In order to prevent his painting from being taken away by Xiu Yi, the warden did not hesitate to use his power in his hand to open the door of convenience for Xiu Yi.
Of course he would not have thought of what a terrible plan was hidden behind Xiu Yi's sunny smile.
With the warden's approval, the guards naturally acted according to the rules. He took Xiuyi to an inspection center and said to Xiuyi: "The rules here are that before any outsiders enter, they must hand over all weapons and alchemy items. You cannot bring anything that may be of help to the prisoners."
"No problem." Xiuyi nodded casually.
Xiu Yi didn't carry anything on her, but the guards were still very careful and did not let go of a slight suspicious thing.
When the inspection fell on the ring of Xiuyi, Xiuyi said, "This is the relic left by my mother. I don't think this thing can cause any harm to the prison. I'm very worried about handing it over to you. Please allow me to carry it."
Several guards looked at each other and hesitated. One of the guards said, "I'm sorry, Master Dardanell, if this is an ordinary ring, it's fine. But we noticed that there were some fluctuations of magical energy on this ring. According to the prison rules, any item with magical energy can be brought in."
"That is a blessing from ancient times, which can protect me from evil attacks. It does not have any magical abilities. If you don't believe it, you can try it. As far as I know, magical attacks and magical defense abilities can be tested. I promise that this ring that has been blessed does not have such abilities." Xiu Yi begged.
"So OK." The guard agreed.
After testing the ring and finding that it really does not have magical attack and defense capabilities, the guard finally allowed Xiu Yi to enter the prison with the ring.
After entering the alert area, Owen took Xiu Yi to visit everywhere, but no one noticed it. At some point, several small bees suddenly appeared in the prison, flying around. They circled in the air for a week and then flew towards the four directions.
The old prison escape expert was now facing the crystal ball in the carriage. The scout bee was observing the surroundings. He made clear marks on the internal structure diagram of the Spark Prison he had obtained before, indicating the defensive power and rotation time everywhere.
Xiu Yi's clear voice came from his ears: "When do you usually eat?"
"Only after get off work."
"Then don't you have to do things hungry?"
"It's not even possible, Master Dardanell, we change shifts while we are having a meal."
"What about that night? Is there still some late-night snack time?"
“Yes, Spark Prison is divided into four classes.”
"That is to say, shifts will be changed every six minutes." Eagle muttered softly and made a lot of time marks on the map.
Following the guards' footsteps, Xiuyi walked through the safety zone, passed through the warning zone and buffer zone, and came to the detention zone.
The detention area with the largest area is divided into three parts: ordinary area, serious offender area, and extremely dangerous area. The entire detention area is circular and is connected. As a serious offender prison, Spark Prison drags out a group of people who were lynched and executed for disobeying discipline every year. They could not have to die, but just because they came to the wrong place and did not realize their environment, they end up suffering the most terrifying punishments in the world.
Whether in the past, present, or future, prisons are not a place to transform people.
If the armed guards outside the detention area bring a tense and solemn atmosphere to this prison, then there will be only a shady and terrifying atmosphere within the detention area.
It is like a foreign world that is far away from the world. The iron cage made of fine iron, with barbs of whip, sparkling spear, and the empty echo caused by horse boots stepping on the ground, all of which show the cruel and cold side here.
Walking on the spacious aisle of the outside hall of the detention area, Xiu Yi looked around. The prisoners were lying on the ground, looking at the sky with obscene eyes. Above them were nail boards covered with barbs, hanging above them.
"As the largest prison in the Lance Empire, with the most prisoners and the most guards, even if the prisoners in ordinary areas are in a good position, they are still a well-known figure. For them, they must be kept under the strictest care. Even if they use magic cages, they cannot guarantee absolute safety." Next to them is guard Owen explaining to Xiuyi: "The nail board on the cage is used to deal with some stubborn guys. There are always people trying to escape, and sometimes they even pretend to be sick to deceive the prisoners into entering, and then try to rush out of the cell. For such prisoners, Spark Prison has enough power to execute them on the spot."
"Along the way, there is the retaliatory area, which is mainly guarded by puppet warriors and flesh-and-blooded puppets. These guys are very good. They can stand here for years without knowing how tired they are. Unfortunately, they are too rigid and only recognize pass cards but not people. I heard that someone had dropped pass cards before and was killed by puppets. Fortunately, it was not happening here." As he led Xiu Yi all the way forward, the guard Owen kept introducing to Xiu Yi.
Perhaps it was that Jin Weit who played the role, and he was very attentive now.
Puppet warriors may be rigid and inflexible, but they are the most loyal to their duties. They will not accept the benefits of others, are not tired, do not have any salary, and will never betray them. Using them to guard the serious offenders is obviously a very good choice.
Xiu Yi's eyes gradually became cold, and he looked at the puppet warriors. All the memories of the past surged back to his heart in an instant like flowing water.
That's right, these puppet warriors and flesh-and-blooded puppets came out of Purgatory Island.
Xiuyi once thought that all the puppets were sent to the battlefield, but he didn't expect that there were some such puppet warriors in Spark Prison.
Looking at the puppet in front of him, scenes on Purgatory Island reappeared in his mind. The past years are something he will never forget.
He could no longer contain the strong ups and downs in his heart, so he took a few steps forward and placed his hand on one of the flesh and blood puppets.
"Be careful!" Guard Owen couldn't help but scream: "Don't mess with them, the puppet has been given a counterattack command, and you can't act threateningly at will even if you have a pass card."
What Irving expected was that the flesh and blood puppet did not move at all, allowing Xiu Yi's hand to fall on him, and even stroked his face.
Feeling the artificial skin as rough as sand skin, Xiu Yi's eyes were full of concentration. He stared at the flesh and blood puppet in a daze, as if he was looking at his lover.
Whose soul is hidden under the body of this flesh-and-blooded puppet? Siser Sacre? Or another boy?
The young men who could not name their names became part of the flesh and blood puppet, and then turned into the coldest killing machine, guarding this heavily guarded prison day and night.
Who in this world should be sent to prison?
The angry flames in Xiu Yi's heart were burning. After several deep breaths, he gradually returned to his calmness.
"Oh, hell, how did you do it?" The guard beside him called out in surprise.
Xiu Yi's eyes gradually became cold, and he said to the guards beside him: "This flesh-and-blood puppet was sent in three years, right?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
Shuyi replied coldly: "The Empire has made a huge breakthrough in the production of puppet warriors three years ago. The alchemist added a new command when making puppets, which can blur the intentions of people. But this intention judgment is made through inherent mode, so it has great limitations. Next time you want to get close to these puppets, remember not to approach them from the side or the back, which will make him think you are trying to sneak attack it. Walk directly from his front and put the movements more coherent and natural, and he will determine that you have no malicious intentions towards him and will not attack you."
"Hey, are you the maker of the puppet warriors? So familiar with these guys?"
"A friend once told me about this, and he also had a puppet warrior in his hands." Xiu Yi replied casually.
While he was talking, his hand that touched the flesh and blood puppet had already scratched the waist and abdomen of the flesh and blood puppet. With the protection of his body, a small piece of metal was cut into the body of the flesh and blood puppet.
Just like tourists like to caress some scenery while sightseeing, Xiu Yi's movements are calm and natural.
Looking at each area, puppet warriors touched it, and small pieces of metal were placed into the bodies of the puppet warriors. In a blink of an eye, they had arrived at the deepest part of Spark Prison.
"Master Dardanell, I suggest that you end your visit." The guards made another request to block.
"Why?" Xiu Yi asked.
"Further forward is the extremely dangerous zone. Every prisoner there is very dangerous, and I am afraid it will pose a threat to your safety."
"I thought Spark Prison was the most severe and safest prison in the Empire."
“That’s true.”
