Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 197: Central Prison

 , Mechanical Alchemist

 The prison of a thousand years ago was not much different from the prison in Old Rington.

 The dark and airtight underground space, the cramped cell, the cold iron bars with runes, and the walls made of large pieces of bluestone like bread. A few meters apart, there was a dim gas lamp on the wall.

 The air was slightly humid, with a rotten sewer-like stench floating around.

 Perhaps in order to get rid of the stench of dampness, there was a blazing brazier in the corridor outside the fence, and the firewood was crackling.

 There was a dense sound of gunfire.

 This prison seems very big, and the sound of gunshots comes from far away

 The dark spiritual power in the prison is already very strong, so strong that it seems to be able to deform people at any time.

Kayi ignored the gunshots outside and took a few greedy breaths.

 The rich dark spiritual power made him feel very comfortable.

 Although his thigh was penetrated, it did not prevent him from suddenly pulling out the dagger and easily slit the throats of two elite members in the same cell wearing Clark family uniforms.

 What a coincidence, in the prison opposite him were actually Rena and Anthony, the old housekeepers.

 Seeing the situation change, the old housekeeper held Reina's hand firmly and then relaxed.

 Suddenly being drawn into the cursed space from the fierce battle, the two people's eyes were obviously a little shocked and confused.

 However, they naturally also saw Kai in the opposite prison who committed murder.

 Although they don’t know who this blue-skinned weirdo is, they also know that he is a friend rather than an enemy.

 Through the iron fence, Anthony asked: "This little brother, what is going on? Where is Mr. Zorro?"

Kayi is dealing with a gunshot wound on his leg. The super recovery power brought by the "X serum" is making his damaged skin and flesh tissue heal visibly to the naked eye.

 Hearing the inquiry, he raised his head and glanced at the two of them, with a slightly strange tone in his voice, "Zorro? Well, he should be here soon."

 Speaking of this, Kai looked at the old housekeeper who seemed to be trying to test the strength of the iron fence, and stopped him: "Oh, that's right. He told us to stay in the cell and don't go out when we come in, otherwise we might get into trouble. Outside. The jailer cannot kill you"

 Hearing this, Anthony thought about it for a moment, was obviously shocked, and quickly asked: "Did Mr. Zorro activate the cursed space just now?"

 Kayi didn’t mean to hide anything, and said casually: "Yes."

 Once I heard this,

 Leina and Anthony were both shocked.

I thought it was an accident, but I thought it was too much of a coincidence. Why was I inexplicably drawn into the cursed space during a fierce battle?

 It turned out to be man-made?

 Furthermore, isn't this a "T-level" space? From the tone of the weirdo in front of me, Mr. Zorro seems to know some "secrets" that others don't know.

 At this time, Reina looked at Kai who was treating the wound and said: "Sir, the penetrating wound on your leg is accompanied by elemental damage, which will prevent the wound from healing. I have a targeted healing potion here. If you need it."

 Before he finished speaking, Kai was not polite and showed a bright smile: "Thank you."

 Leina threw the potion over and nodded: "It's my turn to thank you. What do you call me, sir?"

  She knew very well that the man in front of her was very powerful. If he had not stayed before, he would not have been involved at all.

 The injury was also because of her.

 While pouring the medicine on the wound, Kai introduced himself: "Miss Reina, you can call me Kai."

 After a pause, he shook his head and said disapprovingly: "You don't have to thank me. 'Zorro' asked me to replace him and protect you, Miss Reina."

 Say this, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he glanced at Reina: "If you want to thank me, thank him later."

 “Oh, you should all be grateful.”

 Leina felt a little confused after hearing this.

 Even Mr. Zorro has no friendship.

 It seems a bit far-fetched to say that it is because of Aunt Senjo.

 That Mr. Zorro seems to be too kind to himself?

 Leina thought about it and said, "I'm sorry for getting you involved in such a troublesome incident."

  Kai smiled noncommittally

When the lady of the house spoke, Anthony, as the butler, naturally would not overstep and interrupt, but listened silently.

 He was also secretly guessing about Kai's identity.

 Suddenly, Anthony thought of something. He looked at Kai and asked tentatively: "Mr. Kai, I would like to take the liberty to ask, are you the one who hurt Geiger before?"

 As the butler, Anthony will naturally handle all the information the family has.

  He knows much more than Reina.

 Actually, when he saw Kai suddenly rising, he thought of something.

 Such a powerful professional must not be a nobody.

 Furthermore, there are not many professionals in Old Lingtown who can "walk in the air".

 Then, he thought of the mysterious Lone Ranger whose nickname was very popular in the recent intelligence.

 The "madman" who once slaughtered the "Steel Cannon Hunting Group" by himself and almost killed Geiger.

Although in terms of intelligence, he was only a first-level professional, there was some gap between him and the one in front of him.

 But there seems to be no one else who dares to oppose the major families in the inner city.

 Kayi glanced at the old housekeeper, seemed to think for a moment, and said one word lightly: "Yes."

 At these words, Anthony's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was already filled with turmoil.

 That in itself is not a big problem. According to the intelligence, he is a lone ranger with no background.

 But he was involved in a big problem,

 That is "SS wanted criminal Su Lun"!

 Legend has it that the two have an extraordinary relationship.

Furthermore, there is news now that "Su Lun" is still related to that reactionary organization, and the trouble he is involved in is huge.

 Any big family would be in trouble worse than death!

 Leina on the side still didn't understand anything, and looked at the old housekeeper with confusion in her eyes, whose tone was obviously wrong.

 Anthony didn’t know how to explain it. He thought for a moment with a complex expression, and then murmured to himself: "It turns out to be Your Excellency"

 He looked at Kai, and then thought of something.

 If you can guess his identity, others can too.

  He expressed his worries directly and said: "Thank you for your generous intervention. However, there may be trouble now. The Oliver and Clark families have close relations with the inner city military, and there may be umbrellas in their ranks. People from the organization. If they are allowed to get out alive, they may be in big trouble."

 “Get out alive?”

 Kayi shook his head, interrupted his worries, and said directly: "No. Since that guy plans to do this, there is no way they can get out alive."

 “???”

 Anthony thought that Kai didn't know how powerful the top professionals were. After all, there were countless third-level professionals in Old Town.

 His worries did not lessen, but intensified. He explained: "But the people from the two major families are all elite groups and are very strong. That Nero is very strong. Even I am not sure of defeating him. . There are also the Elders of the Three Disasters. Together, they will be unbeatable among the second-level professionals."

 Kayi shrugged, with a look on his face as if what you said made sense: "Mr. Anthony, I also agree with what you said."

 Anthony sounded even more confused.

 After a pause, Kai suddenly changed the subject, his eyes became deep, and he said slowly: "Although I don't think it is possible. But what that guy said can always be done. ”

 Anthony frowned when he heard this.

 There were too many surprises in today's events, which made him feel a little unreal.

 He suddenly thought, is he trying to take advantage of this cursed space?

 But this is a "T-level" space. It is a desperate situation for the enemy, so why is it not a desperate situation for them?

 The gunshots in the corridor outside became increasingly intensive.

 There are not only outsiders like them in the prison, but also NPC guards and prisoners.

 It sounds like a large group of people are fighting and exchanging fire with the prison guards. It seems that they are violently breaking open the prison door and escaping directly.

 Almost all cursed spaces have a common method of cracking them, which is to kill them directly.

 Hearing the commotion outside getting louder and louder, Kai remained calm, but Reina and Butler Anthony looked very confused.

 Leina asked: "Mr. Kai, are we going out now?"

 Kayi shook his head: "No. Although the jailers outside are not strong, that guy said, don't kill him. If you kill him, you will be in big trouble."

 Hearing this, Rena thought about it and asked: "Mr. Zorro, does he know the information about this cursed space?"

  Kai spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me either. I don't know much more than you."

  Before they could talk any more, Anthony looked alert and shouted softly: "Someone is coming."

 After waiting for a breath or two, Reina and Kai heard footsteps coming towards the two cells in their corner from the sound of gunfire.

 The footsteps were very steady and not impatient at all.

 Getting closer, I heard another conversation coming from outside.

 It's like a conversation between NPCs in this space.

 "Chief Jailer! Large-scale prisoner riots occurred in areas one and two, please give instructions!"

 "Well, keep your posts. There will be an assault team over there to deal with it. I want to interrogate a few prisoners."

 “Yes!”

  “”

As soon as he finished speaking, a man wearing a dark blue prison uniform and a ferocious iron mask came over.

 Looking at the epaulettes on his shoulders, it turned out to be the chief jailer who spoke.

  The masked man walked to Kai's prison, took out a set of keys with a bang, opened the door, and said, "Sorry, I need to deal with some things and delay some time."

 Kayi recognized the person who came at a glance as Su Lun. Although he was not surprised, he was still curious and asked: "How come you have become a jailer?"

 “Having this identity will save you a lot of trouble.”

Su Lun explained lightly.

 He opened Kai's cell, then turned to open another iron door on the opposite side.

 Because she did not take off her mask, Reina did not recognize him, so she only asked tentatively: "Mr. Zorro?"

 Su Lun seemed to think for a moment, and deliberately did not explain clearly. He smiled and said: "Yes. Miss Reina."

 But Butler Anthony looked up and down at the mysterious masked man in front of him, his eyes solemn.

 Why is he an NPC when everyone else comes in as prisoners?

Su Lun led the three people out of the prison.

The three of them saw several armed jailers in the corner of the prison corridor. They didn't look very smart.

 With Su Lun, the "chief jailer" leading them, they walked over in a swaggering manner without anyone stopping them.

 This method also surprised the three people behind Kai.

 The dark corridor is a bit cramped, giving people an oppressive feeling of being imprisoned everywhere.

 After walking for a while and seeing no one around, Su Lun explained: "Although these jailers on the first floor are not strong, they will be very troublesome to kill. The jailers on the lower floors are very strong. Wait. If they take action, no one will survive if they escape from prison. Especially those who kill the jailor."

 After hearing this, Kai and the other three people understood.

 Anthony on the side asked instinctively: "Mr. Zorro, how strong are the guards below? How many floors does this prison have?"

 He felt that as the strongest combat force here, it was necessary for him to understand the enemy's strength and the Yoshimoto intelligence in this space.

Su Lun pondered for a moment, and then responded with two words: "Very strong."

 Thought for a while and said in a way they could understand: "This prison has five floors. According to the ancient classification, prisoners below the third level are locked on the first floor where we are now. The prisoners on the second floor are recorded in The prisoners in the case are all 'super-level' beings. Although most of the energy has escaped after a long time, there are existences beyond the third level on the second level. I don't know the situation on the third and fourth levels. But I know that there is an existence on the fifth floor that is impossible to defeat. And this prison is also very special. Its exit is on the fifth floor. So no matter who wants to get out, they have to go underground."

 Listening to this series of explanations, the three people behind Kai were all astonished.

 This is another "super level" and a description of invincibility

 Leina asked: "So this is really a T-level space?"

 Su Lun nodded lightly, "Yeah."

  “”

 Anthony's face twitched when he heard this, and his eyes were slightly suspicious.

 If someone could read minds, he would definitely be able to hear what he was saying at this moment: Are you afraid that you have some misunderstanding about "T-level space"?

 Level T means there are no survivors.

 From what you described, it seems quite consistent with this rating.

 But your tone is so bland, as if you are discussing a "D-level" space!

 Furthermore, what surprised them even more was that since he was a "T-class", where did this guy's information come from?

 Kayi knew something and didn’t ask.

 Leina didn’t know why, but when she saw the scene in front of her, she felt inexplicably familiar.

 There used to be such a person who would always be calm and numb at any moment.

 Even in a desperate situation, it will give people an indescribable sense of trust.

 She thought of something and asked directly: "Mr. Zorro seems to be familiar with this space?"

Su Lun said calmly: "Well, I've been here several times before."

 Have been here

How many times?

 If someone said that he came out of the "T-level" space alive, everyone would think that this person is bragging.

 Not only have you been here before, but "how many times" have you been here?

 Hearing this quantifier, the eyes of the three Kai and Yi all became very strange

Su Lun also knew that it was hard to believe what he had experienced.

  I had thought of the "fake thousand" method before, and wanted Kai to replace the identity of "Zorro" and create an alibi.

  And during the time he had his hands free, he was not idle either.

 Go to the Oliver family and kill a few people and show your face;

 Then he came to Cursed Space in advance to investigate the situation.

Su Lun Youjing gave those things directly to the prison and found "Mrs. Seraya".

 With those tokens, it’s not a big problem to get out safely.

 But he always felt that since this was a T-level space, it would be a bit of a waste if it was just for doing business.

 And he has the Eye of Omniscient, so he can naturally see all the information in this cursed space.

 【Central Prison in Auroville】

  Detailed explanation: Super large scale that conforms to the cursed space, T level; it was once the central prison of Dawn City, where countless vicious criminals were imprisoned; if you want to live, stay in the cell and don’t run around; otherwise the jailer will kill everyone who escapes. A fugitive; you will never be able to escape from the space without the pardon from the warden; it requires a specific spell to be opened; after the space is opened, it will absorb all life forms within a three-kilometer radius.

 The first time Su Lun saw the introduction of this space, an idea came to his mind: trap and kill!

 This is a cursed space with no solution.

Those who enter can only stay in the cell. If they break out, they will be regarded as "escaped prisoners" and killed by the guards.

 But in the cell, there is nothing you can do.

 Either sleep to death or be killed.

 So there is actually only one way to get out, and that is to jailbreak and push.

 But it’s actually impossible!

 After chatting with Mr. Mirror before, Su Lun also knew that as time goes by, the difficulty of the cursed space will also degrade due to energy escape and the lack of certain laws, and the NPCs inside will also become weaker.

 Over the past thousand years, the original fifth- and sixth-level warlocks in the space, Can Nian, probably only had the strength of second- and third-level warriors, or even lower.

 This is also the reason why the level of the cursed space NPCs that Su Lun encountered before were not high.

 But this place is already very close to the "space passage", the dark spiritual power is strong, and the cursed space is well preserved. After all, it was a city where "demigods" existed back then, and there were many superpowers imprisoned in the Dawn Central Prison.

 Su Lun saw NPCs above level three on the second floor of the prison during his previous investigation.

 The third and fourth floors, he estimated, there are at least fourth or even fifth levels

 So, if you want to push it horizontally, it is simply impossible!

 Furthermore, if something is not done, their team will definitely die when Reina and the others come.

 This can solve a lot of troubles, right?

  Meeting "Mrs. Seria" again, and after some exchanges, he became more certain about his idea. He wanted to use space to deal with those troubles.

Oliver and Clark did not disappoint when they chatted about the eldest son of the family. When they heard that Lena was going to be wiped out, they actually came to "add insult to injury" in person.

 Then the previous scene happened

 A few people were walking, and suddenly, Anthony was the first to notice something, and said solemnly: "Someone is coming. It should be for the lady."

Su Lun’s tone was still calm: “Yeah, just right.”

 PS. I haven’t finished the second chapter yet, so I’ll post it later.
