Chapter 266 - 262: A Cunning Jailbreak?【-01 Update】
——————
While they were sleeping soundly, a sudden fire broke out in a remote prison. The intense blaze engulfed the prison in darkness, and luckily, it started at midnight.
At that hour, many prisoners were still awake, so when someone screamed "fire," the guards promptly opened the prison gates.
This prison only held ordinary criminals with longer sentences but not vile villains, so the security level wasn’t strict. Additionally, located in a remote area bordered by a primeval forest, many prisoners, being rational, dared not escape using the fire as cover.
Having some sense, they would not attempt to escape in such desolate mountains without anyone to receive them!
Not to say anything, the longest sentence among the prisoners here was just seven years. Oh, but that’s incorrect, a new prisoner who arrived a few days ago was sentenced to fourteen years... and she was an old woman.
At that time, the prison mostly comprised of stone and wood structures, very ancient, and since it didn’t hold very dangerous criminals, the security level wasn’t strict. After the fire, the warden checked the deceased prisoners, the surviving prisoners, the guards, and so on, only to discover that three prisoners were missing!
This startled the warden tremendously as while death might pass, escaping from prison was a serious matter! And if it was a premeditated escape, that would be even more outrageous.
