The Royal Garden is not open to the general public on weekdays. It will only be open for a short period of time on special holidays and with the consent of the Royal Palace.
On weekdays, there are several checkpoints at the edge of the garden, and they are all closed and cannot be entered without permission.
Even the ID of the inspection team is not acceptable.
But today was an exception. The palace temporarily increased the authority of the inspection team, and after review, they finally let the three people in.
Naturally, the car had to be parked outside, and the three of them entered on foot.
I saw that this garden covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters is filled with many precious plants, flowers, and trees. In this season that has not yet entered autumn, the flowers are in full bloom and the fragrance is filled.
Liu Xiao sighed in her heart that the person who designed the layout of the garden should not be a professional designer. The plants here were very beautiful, but the planting location had no aesthetic appeal.
Very vulgar.
After turning a corner, a pavilion covered by lush vines and tall trees came into view. Ye Qu and Yue Fei walked over first, and Liu Xiao followed and stood in the center of the pavilion.
The ground shook slightly and moved downward.
This is actually an elevator.
They took the elevator to the underground. After the three people left the elevator, someone next to them controlled it and raised it back to its original position.
Directly ahead is a dark corridor, but at the end of the corridor is a bright light, with a row of guards holding guns staring at it.
Liu Xiao understood that this corridor should be to prevent someone from escaping from prison. In such a small place, it would be difficult for the other party to escape.
Walking out of the corridor, there is a spacious space with many stone pillars. All the electric lights above the head are embedded in the ceiling, and there is not a single line in sight.
Liu Xiao looked around. It was all a masonry structure. The surface had not been polished, so it was a little rough and uneven, but it was generally smooth.
The scope does not look smaller than the Royal Garden outside. It is very likely that the entire Royal Garden is empty underground. This should be the reason why the vegetation in the garden is not sophisticated, right?
Because that's not really a royal garden.
In addition, Liu Xiao thought of other information,
This garden may only belong to the royal family in name, but should actually belong to the temple. With such a large space, there should be more than one entrance here.
Following the footsteps of Senior Ye Qu in front, there are several houses directly ahead, which are also connected straight up and down from the ground to the ceiling. Judging from the windows, the inside should be divided into two floors: upper and lower.
Liu Xiao preferred to call this house a bunker, because the windows were so small that even an adult couldn't get through them, and they looked like they were used to set up guns.
For many extraordinary people, guns are still dangerous things.
The surrounding circle is full of single-room cells, some are empty, some are cages, and some are opaque masonry buildings... indicating that the prisoners inside are held in different ways.
There are many guards with guns patrolling the entire prison, and even more are people wearing black clothes and equipped with different cold weapons.
Some people carry swords, guns and clubs of different sizes on their backs, and some carry swords of various shapes in their hands.
They are all hunters.
In the entire prison, the only extraordinary people that can be seen are Hunter and Prisoner.
They are easy to distinguish. Those in uniforms are naturally guards, those without uniforms but with weapons are hunters, and those without weapons are prison guards.
Another way to tell them apart is that hunters all wear black clothes.
Looking at the number of cells, there are at least a hundred extraordinary beings imprisoned here, which is far more than the number of free people outside.
After the guard informed him, he waited for a while before a man limped out of the door of the "bunker" in the middle. He was about forty years old, but he felt older.
He had difficulty moving his right leg, and he was holding a black metal cane in his hand. The cane was as wide as the top and bottom and about two fingers in diameter. It made a heavy but crisp impact when it was poked on the stone.
Liu Xiao has never met him, but he knows who he is, the warden of the Extraordinary Prison and the Master of Prisons.
The prison director is a position. In addition, the temple also has high-level positions such as the priest of ceremony and the secretary of net. The highest person in charge of the temple is called the secretary of the temple.
"Newcomer?"
The warden's voice had no characteristics. He simply ignored the three people's greetings and his eyes fell directly on Liu Xiao, with sharpness and disdain.
Liu Xiao resisted the urge to frown.
I feel that all the hunters are difficult to get along with, Han Qingyi is withdrawn and cold, the leader of the sixth group, Cheng Xun, is arrogant, and the warden is contemptuous.
And it has nothing to do with position.
However, he did not show his emotions, and immediately raised his hands in salute: "I have met Master Prisoner, Liu Xiao, the seventh group, has only been in the group for less than a month."
The warden said: "My men are very dissatisfied with a newcomer being rewarded with extraordinary items. If I hadn't stopped him, I would have found him."
What does it mean?
Do they want to fight me?
Is the fact that I obtained the Guihong Sword spread so widely in the temple?
I feel that Gui Hongjian is still in its smallest state at this moment, lying quietly in the scabbard on the right calf.
Liu Xiao continued to salute: "Thank you, Chief Prison Officer..."
"There's no need to thank you, and I don't want to stop you. Since you're here today, just show your hand and show it to my men, so that they can give up."
Ye Qu also saluted immediately: "Prison Master..."
Before she could finish her words, Yue Fei snatched the words and said: "Prison Master, we are here to investigate the case today. It is not convenient to cause extraneous matters. It is a serious matter and it is best not to waste time."
"I know you should investigate the case yourself. He is a hunter and can't be of much help."
"I'm not a hunter." Liu Xiao corrected him.
"I heard. I heard that you were afraid of death and hid in Zajia."
"I don't know where I offended my senior. If I did something wrong, please ask the prison chief to show me."
Yue Fei said: "He is not a hunter, but he has never avoided anything, and today's investigation still requires his abilities, so he has no time to fight with these hunters."
"What are your abilities?"
A person next to him came forward and whispered something. The warden was silent for a few seconds and asked, "When did it happen?"
"A few days ago." The man replied.
The warden sneered twice: "Then wait until this case is over. Then I won't stop them from finding you. How many abilities have you awakened so far?"
Liu Xiao looked around, and saw a group of hunters in black costumes with fierce faces staring at him.
"Two." He narrowed his eyes and replied calmly.
"Then you have no chance of winning."
Do I have to take action?
It would be a lie to say that he is not panicking. After all, he has not experienced actual combat. The first time Zhong You was a relatively weak supernatural being, the monster was a creature without intelligence and only instinct, and the man in white himself had no chance of winning.
There really isn't any practical experience.
Seeing that Liu Xiao didn't say anything and the warden didn't say much, he changed the subject and said, "Take them to the seventh cell block."
"Master Prisoner," Ye Qu shouted when the Prisoner turned around, "Private fighting among men will be punished."
"That is also left to me."
Even though Ye Qu has a good temper, he is a little angry at this moment: "Group 7 will never see its members being bullied, nor will they swallow their anger."
"If he has that strength, he can naturally keep Gui Hongjian well. If he doesn't, he can hand it over to someone with more strength. Moreover, my men haven't done anything yet. Aren't you prisoners very strict? Why do you want to do this?
Blaming me for something that didn’t happen?”
Ye Qu reached out and pinched the bracelet on his left wrist without saying anything.
Liu Xiao heard this and spoke: "Master Prisoner, Liu Xiao is a junior. No matter what you do, as long as the temple does not impose punishment, I will treat you with courtesy when we meet, but this does not mean that I will shrink from it."
I didn't dare to fight back before.
"After the case was over, I sent a letter to your door to inform you, waiting for the challenge."
"Are you worthy of our challenge?"
A hunter next to him said coldly, and there were obviously people around him who agreed, but the warden did not have any critical words, but praised:
"If you have the courage, you can."
The words seemed to imply that Liu Xiao had not said anything wrong.
"Take them there."
Under the instructions of the warden, two uniformed guards led the three to the seventh group of cells. Ye Qu calmed down and did not mention what happened just now, but raised the information in his hand.
The first one, according to data, was that he could control flames and had set fire to more than ten people in the bustling area of Jinluo city center, killing dozens of people and injuring more than a hundred people.
He was locked up in a cell with two floors inside and outside. The inner floor was a fully sealed cold storage that was four meters long, wide and two meters high. The lighting lamps were isolated in the walls by tempered glass. All items entering the inner floor needed to be sealed.
Stones and metal products must not be present during the inspection.
The outer layer is an ordinary room to ensure that when the inner layer is opened, the prisoner cannot see any fire, electric sparks and other things related to fire and high temperature.
This person's ability is relatively dangerous and cannot be approached directly, so Ye Qu activates his ability through the prison door and brings him into the "Water Mirror" world, along with Yue Fei.
Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment. He said before that several people entered at the same time. In addition to Yue Fei's need to check the prisoner's physical condition, he also wanted to read the history.
But what's going on now?
How did I get left behind?
He didn't think it was Ye Qu who made mistakes in his work, because he quickly remembered something. In the history of Jinluo Academy of Fine Arts, the man in white said something.
Extraordinary immunity!
But for the first time, he had clearly entered the "Water Mirror" world normally, and also entered the "Boundary of Life and Death" world of the second group leader Fei Yuan. He had also been controlled by Su Gu, and had been under the illusion of the first group leader Xiao Mu.
…
But soon, he discovered what all these things have in common: it has not been used a second time!
Su Gu didn't try to control him for the second time, Fei Yuan didn't drag him into the prison world for the second time, Xiao Mu didn't use illusion for the second time, and this was the second time Ye Qu used "Water Mirror" on him!
So you can succeed the first time, but will you be immune the second time? Liu Xiao pondered.
Should this be reported?
He was a little hesitant. He knew that this should be the reason why he was able to escape from Su Gu's control midway and stay fresh in the illusion created by Xiaomu.
But if it is reported to the police, will the temple doubt itself and make the suspicion that has just been cleared become even greater again?
Of course it's better to hide it.
But won’t Senior Ye Qu find out?
After a while, Ye Qusugu returned, and the prisoner also returned to the cell. Ye Qu looked at Liu Xiao with some confusion on his face: "Why were you missed just now?"
Liu Xiao shook his head: "I'm surprised too." Then he changed the subject and asked: "How is he? Is there any problem? Do you need me to read it again?"
Ye Qu said: "There is no problem. He is very cooperative. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is always good to be careful. Don't be afraid of trouble."
Liu Xiao nodded. In order to prevent Ye Qu from using his extraordinary abilities on him again, he first said to the guard: "Okay, then open the door."
After speaking, he bent down and opened the button on the scabbard, letting Gui Hongjian fly in front of him, and after touching it with his hand, it turned into its largest state.
Seeing that Liu Xiao was ready, Ye Qu did not retort, but nodded to the guard and motioned to open the door.
Liu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, senior Ye Qu, like the team leader, trusted the team members and was willing to listen to their arrangements.
But at the same time, I also felt a little guilty, wondering if this was taking advantage of other people's trust.
The guard picked up his gun and turned on the safety. A man next to him stepped forward and unlocked the door.
As the heavy thermal insulation door opened, a stream of cold air flowed out, making the legs of everyone around him feel cold.
The guards filed in, surrounding him and pointing their guns at the only mortal in the cell who was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket.
Liu Xiao walked into the cold storage, spit out white mist, controlled Gui Hongjian and pressed it against the opponent's neck, and then went to hold his hand.
The prisoner was obviously a little surprised, but he did not resist. He did not make any move until everyone finally exited the cold storage and locked the door.
"everything is normal."
Liu Xiao said.
After saying that, he felt Yue Fei hammer him on his lower back. He turned around and saw her reproachful look: "It's too dangerous. Next time, let Senior Ye Qu control the prisoner."
Liu Xiao smiled and said it was okay, but was still glared at.
Second, the data records that he can make his body become an illusion and can pass through any entity. He has used his ability to steal and kill people, and committed dozens of crimes in total before he was caught.
After catching him, an electrode was implanted inside his right hand, and a weak current was passed through the wire. This current would not cause damage to the body, but it would destroy the body's normal nerve conduction and cause the muscles to function uncontrollably.
Twitch so that he cannot become illusive.
However, there was an accident once. He unplugged the wire while the guard was not paying attention. Fortunately, the room he was in was made of all metal. The moment the current on his arm was disconnected, the house was connected to strong electricity, killing him.
Corona.
The prisoner's arm is now fixed in a metal cylinder on the wall, and the electrodes on his arm are also directly connected to the metal wall. With his ordinary body strength, he will never be able to break free.
The height of the cylinder was neither too high nor too low, making it difficult for him to stand and lie down, so he could only sit there for many years.
This is much safer. The iron grating cell door is opened directly. The prisoner is sitting next to the wall, his muscles shaking unconsciously, his clothes are ragged, and his entire right arm is exposed. Since his right arm cannot be taken out, he cannot wear a sleeved shirt.
Liu Xiao could imagine the pain of not being able to move for ten years, and it even felt cruel. However, he would not sympathize with the other party, because it was recorded in the data that the prisoner once used his ability to reach into the body of a living person to destroy the internal organs.
Thirteen people were tortured to death in this way.
Some people had their hearts pinched with bare hands, some had their lungs torn, and some had ruptured arteries and had internal bleeding... This chapter has been completed!
