The Sabbath Chapter 120: Pezer
"The entire Star City is a prison, divided into ninety-nine floors above the ground and nine hundred and ninety-nine floors below the ground. The topmost floor is the staff's office, and all other places are rooms for detaining prisoners." Looking straight at the huge black tower-like building in front of him with green eyes, Allen said in a calm tone.
It seems to be speaking to Ronggui, and it seems to be repeating an objective fact.
"Ninety-nine plus nine hundred and ninety-nine days!" Rong Gui took a deep breath.
He tried to do the math, but he only tried for about three seconds: This addition is obviously not something he can figure out all at once!
"How can there be such a big prison here?" He could only marvel: "How many rooms are there on each floor? If there are prisoners in every cell, how many prisoners must there be?"
"Not all of them will be full. According to the current crime rate in the entire tower, there shouldn't be so many prisoners in Star City." It was Xiaomei who answered him.
Where there are people, there are lawbreakers. In order to punish or "reform" these lawbreakers, there must be prisons.
There were originally many prisons in the tower, and they were sent to prisons based on the principle of proximity.
Until the 203rd year of the Chaos Calendar, about a hundred years ago, a department conducted a comprehensive assessment of the prisons in the tower, and believed that many prisons in the tower were idle, and this idleness was a huge waste of resources. It is a waste, and it is relatively easy for the prisoners who were detained before to escape from the prison. The security of the prison is not high. For the residents living around the prison, this is also a considerable security risk
The eloquent and half-person-high demonstration materials were handed in, and after nearly ten years of small-scale pilot experiments, finally, in the 213th year of the Chaos Calendar, the original small and medium-sized prisons were completely closed and rebuilt, leaving only The original large prison was followed by the construction of nine new planets, which became the Nine Star Prisons.
The original large prisons were managed by the wardens of the nine star prisons, and the person who managed the star wardens of the nine star prisons was called the warden.
The existence itself is the supreme law of the nine star prisons, so it is called the warden.
However——
There should be no post of warden yet.
The man who unifies the nine star prisons and whose will is higher than the other star prisons has not yet appeared.
He's just a kid now.
Xiaomei thought of the child in the dark.
He should still be in Sky City now. According to Sky City's child protection law, he should have entered a public school and started studying. He is busy with various studies and exams every day, and he can't even touch the lowest level of power.
The current Nine Star Prisons are still in the hands of the Nine Star Wardens, and the Star Wardens of Star City
It happens to be someone who is one of the future nine star wardens.
Xiaomei called up a photo from her memory.
The uniform of the star warden is clean and straight, the same white wings are gathered, the silver-white hair is neatly combed behind the head, and there is a pair of exquisite round glasses on the bridge of the nose. The face is thin and the cheekbones are high. It's a mean look, but because of the smile on the thin lips, it looks a lot more friendly.
Peze - the man's name, Sky City, this name means blue sky, it is a very popular name, for a while, three out of ten newborns will be given this name, so" "Pezer" has become a very popular name.
Popular name, appearance is also very popular, and his grades in school are not very noticeable. If he insists on saying something special about him, it is probably because he has a good command of the law code. He has liked reading law since he was a child. During his studies, he memorized all the legal codes backwards, which is why he successfully entered the relevant department after graduation.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would stay in the star prison department in the end, step by step, and finally became one of the nine star prison directors at an age that was not outstanding, but not very old.
Of course, the star prison in charge of Peize is not the largest among the nine star prisons, but it is not the smallest one either.
Still modest and inconspicuous.
Basically, in each ending, he successfully retired from the position of star warden, promoted several promising young people to the top, and then engaged in code research after retirement, and published several books on gardening related books.
Nine star wardens + one warden, six of them are single. Compared with his colleagues who are lonely and lonely, Peize got married very early. His spouse is the child of the mentor's family and gave birth after marriage. On the day of his only daughter's wedding, many people received invitations from Peize.
Of course, he didn't receive the invitation. Peize was still very self-aware, but a secretary in the secretarial department received the invitation, and at the same time, he made a big fuss about the warm scene of the wedding and his colleagues.
Ordinary but happy life - this is the only note he can make to the other party.
A person's life quickly passed through Xiaomei's mind. The above description seemed long, but it only stayed in his mind for a second. Soon, Xiaomei focused her attention on her eyes again. , Not long after he finished speaking, Allen spoke again:
"Of course, there are not so many prisoners."
"The underground prison has nine hundred and ninety-nine floors. The number sounds scary, but not every floor has many rooms. There are several floors with only one room, which houses the most vicious criminals in the rumors."
Hearing this sentence, Ronggui was stunned again: Under the ground, there is only one room on the whole floor, and only one prisoner?
But Allen quickly spoke again, interrupting his thoughts of continuing to think.
"There are actually not that many prisoners here, but many prisoners got married in the prison, and their children were born in the prison. Some came to Star City for medical treatment, but gave birth to unhealthy children and threw them here"
"Over time, Star City has become what it is now."
"All kinds of mermaids and dragons live in this city, which is almost full."
"Although it looks like a building from the outside, it is very large inside with complete facilities. It is already a large city." After Allen finished speaking, he lowered the car window and said something outside.
It was only then that Ronggui realized that they were about to enter the building.
Different from ordinary buildings, the entrance of the building here is extremely wide, and people don't even need to get out of the car when they come in!
Alan handed out two more packs of worm meat, and the jailer let them pass smoothly.
Ronggui noticed that when the other party took the meat, he handed Alan a round card.
Noticing Ronggui's curious eyes, Allen handed the round card to Ronggui: "This is the elevator card, it will be changed every day and every hour, every time I come here I have to get the card for the day, and Come back within the specified time, otherwise you won't be able to get out."
While listening to Alan's words, Ronggui looked curiously at the elevator card that looked like a round button in his hand. He not only looked at it himself, but also asked Xiaomei to look at it together.
=-=
Okay, since he is now clinging to Xiaomei's back and sharing a down jacket. In fact, when he looks, Xiaomei has to look too.
Alan smiled and looked at the two little robots, one in front of the other, Ronggui's current posture seemed to hold Xiaomei in his arms.
From the perspective of a bystander, the postures of these two people are weird and abnormal, but as the parties concerned, Xiaomei and Ronggui are as normal as they are.
Ronggui carefully looked at the elevator card in his hand. This button-shaped elevator card is really old. The original color of the shell has been completely worn away, and there are many scratches on it. Ronggui looked at it I was a little worried, it's so old, what if it breaks?
Also, for some reason, he always felt that this keychain looked familiar.
In a low voice, he unknowingly poured out all the thoughts in his heart to Xiaomei.
"It can't be broken. There should be an alarm in the elevator asking for help. It looks familiar." Xiaomei paused for a moment, then suddenly took Ronggui's hand and touched his chest. The next second, he quickly opened the zipper on the front of the down jacket, Unbuttoning four layers of ties (Ronggui wore too many for him =-=), finally touched his chest, pressed it lightly, and the storage compartment immediately popped out, and Xiaomei picked out a key from it.
Close the storage compartment, fasten the buttons, re-tie the straps, and finally pull the zipper up to her chin. Xiaomei finished all this in a satisfactory manner, then picked up the key again, and handed it to Rong expensive.
"It's the key given by Mrs. Zora." Ronggui recognized the source of the key at a glance.
The two of them currently have three keys in total, one is the door lock key of Mesertal, which belongs to Xiaomei's hut, this rusty key is called "Xiaomei's ancestral house key", and the other Two were the keys that Mrs. Zora had given them.
Although she has a lot of keys, Mrs. Zora obviously has not neglected the maintenance of the keys. Not to mention that each key is polished and shiny, and some keys have key chains on them, such as the one that Xiaomei just handed to him. Bundle.
Same as the key, the keychain is also inlaid with gemstones, the same topaz as the key, like a button, with a rounded cut surface, which looks low-key but beautiful, just like a button
Wait!
Ronggui immediately raised the keychain to the two of them, looked at it carefully for a while, and then compared it with Yuanyuan's elevator card, and then he was surprised: "This is not a keychain! It's an elevator card Ya!"
Xiaomei nodded.
Alan has been watching the loving interaction between the two little robots. At first he just watched them with a smile, but after seeing them take out such a set of keys, he was a little surprised and said: "You guys actually have this key. elevator card and key?”
Turning her head to him, Xiaomei nodded again.
Ronggui hurriedly explained: "The two of us didn't know it was an elevator card at first, we thought it was a key, and the one below was a decorative keychain."
"This is the key that Mrs. Zora gave us. Knowing that we are going to see the doctor, she happened to have houses in Paloson and Star City, so she lent us the keys of the house."
Alan nodded and smiled slightly: "This is really amazing."
"The house here is very difficult to get. If you are not a prisoner who wants to get a house here, you don't have special rights, you have to be very rich. I have never been to Paloson, but The points in that city are very high, and you need more money to buy a house there.”
Ronggui laughed "hehe" twice: Alan is right, Mrs. Zora is indeed very rich, isn't she a real rich man?
Disliked that the original elevator card in Star City was too old-fashioned, and made a topaz to make a key chain. Mrs. Zora is really a tasteful rich man
Thinking of Mrs. Zhuo La, Ronggui's heart felt warm again.
"It would be easier if you have a foothold here. I originally wanted you two to squeeze in the room of the prisoner I know. After all, if there is no resting place here, it is still very dangerous. " Allen nodded again.
"If the property is already in my name, the elevator card should work forever, so you don't have to rush there. I will take you there after the delivery is over, but before that—" Allen said, pointing to Front: "Will you accompany me to deliver the goods first?"
Following his finger and looking forward, Ronggui saw a metal wall, and after looking carefully, he saw a gap in the wall. As they approached, the gap gradually widened, and he realized that there It's a huge elevator door.
Da Huang slowly drove into the elevator. After Allen swiped the elevator card, the elevator door gradually closed.
The elevator descended very smoothly, and Ronggui didn't feel it at all. Unlike other elevators, the elevator here doesn't show the floor at all. In a confined space and a completely unfamiliar prison city, Ronggui suddenly became more and more nervous .
Focused on the elevator door in front of him, he realized that when the door opened again, he would really see the appearance of Star City.
