Chapter 610 - 10.5 Mysterious Singing
After everyone had finished registering their data, changed their clothes, had their photos taken and original cuffs unlocked, a warden clad in dark uniform came out from the metal elevator to welcome them. ’Welcome’ was not a suitable word to describe his demeanor. It was more like he was herding a flock of sheep into the cage.
"Get in line and enter one by one!" He ordered in a booming voice. "The others are having lunch, but you need to get into your cell now. Hurry up before you bump into them!"
A dissatisfied protest sounded from one of the prisoners, "Then what about our lunch? They can eat but we can’t?"
No sooner than his voice landed, a loud crackle suddenly sounded followed by the man’s ear-piercing scream. Everyone was dumbfounded to see the originally healthy as an ox man suddenly collapsed on the ground twitching like a fish thrown out of the water. His eyes rolled to the back of his head and white froth formed on the corner of his mouth.
The warden waved his hand with a bored look. "This is what happens when you’re disobedient. Have I given you permission to speak? If you want to survive here, then you’d better follow the rules."
Everyone’s face, including Lu Yizhou’s, sank as they witnessed the half-dying man being carried away in a stretcher to God-knows-where.
Who would care about the livelihood of a criminal in this place anyway? They were originally supposed to die here so it did not matter if it was hastened by a few years, right? Everyone suddenly registered the precarious situation they were in and the air became somber and heavy as each of them eyed the warden with a wary look.
Behind the crowd, Percy shrunk into himself and covered his mouth tightly. His entire body was shaking like a little helpless leaf. It was not until now that the severity of the situation dawned on him. In this kind of hellish place, how could he manage to survive...?! Damn it, he would definitely get to Pandora as quickly as possible and make a wish to have those people suffer ten times more than he did!
[666: Host, 666 has scanned your body. There’s a mini chip planted in the back of your neck that can transmit a signal to expose your location and generate electricity. It happens before you transfer into this body so that’s why you are not aware of it. The remote is... yup, it’s in the warden’s hands.]
[Every warden?]
[666: No-pe! Each warden has different authority. Meanwhile, the warden in front of you has low-level authority. It’s because the man who is carried away is a prisoner of C-level that he can activate the chip. If it’s you, then no one knows what’s going to happen, Host.]
