Chapter 390.2: Code's Prison
Since Jean-san even prepared a vehicle, I had no choice but to head to the prison. It is outrageous to choose the Royal Guards from among criminals, but as the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. I should see the positive side, I still have the choice to pick the people I want.
The prison is a huge black building. Surrounded by high walls and equipped with a huge, imposing gate that resembled the entrance to hell, giving it a clearly different feel from the surrounding buildings. Countless silver bird-like things are flying around in the sky, maybe for security purposes.
The Spider stops in front of the gate. Even though this vehicle boasts incredible jumping ability and can climb buildings freely, it seems it cannot climb the outer wall.
Mechanized soldiers are lined up around the wall. They never tire, so they are ideal for guard duty. This time I have a proper appointment, so I boldly enter through the main gate.
I walk along the long paved road. There are fewer guards inside the gate than outside, but it is probably not all the security it has. I should assume that there are more sinister gimmicks than Treasure Shrines.
After walking for a while within the compound, I arrive at a building. The door slides open automatically. I enter and am greeted by the first human being since I entered the compound. The female staff member is wearing a neat white uniform. And the card on her chest has four stars on it.
The female staff member glances at the terminal she is holding, then says expressionlessly without a frown.
“I have been expecting you. Jean-sama has informed me that, per the city regulations, you would like to find some human resources from among the inmates.” (Prison Staff Member)
“Yeah, yeah. After all, isn’t that too reckless?” (Cry)
