Chapter 35 Prison

Chapter 34Prison

It took Roach a while to figure out where he was taken. It can't be blamed that he is not smart. Humans who haven't committed crimes may know what the prison looks like just by watching TV, but for ordinary magicians, Joan Lin's prison is too far away, as far away as it is buried deep in the ground.

Roach suspected that he was in a deep place underground. He was dragged into a pendragon track system and brought here. He hadn't seen sunlight since leaving the track system.They crammed him into the only room outside the gate of the track system, and as he entered he caught a glimpse of the sign on the door, "High Reverse Class, No. 2137."After that, he fell into darkness, and the door was closed tightly behind him. The loneliness and fear that deepened suddenly made him too late to think about the meaning of the door plate.

Roach waited anxiously in the dark. After a moment of silence, the ground suddenly trembled. He lost his balance and squatted down. With one hand on the ground, he realized that the room was moving.The surrounding space seems to be slightly compressed, and the room is like an elevator moving upwards, but perhaps it should be said that the room is more like a bubble floating upward from the bottom of a pond.

With a slight explosion, the bubble elevator stopped abruptly, and a light appeared above Roach's head.He looked up at the light overhead and felt like a frog at the bottom of a frozen pond, staring at the light curtain overhead in bewilderment.Then, the walls suddenly brightened, and Roach raised his hand to shield his eyes. After a moment, he put his hand down and stared blankly around.

It is not the walls of the room that become bright, but the walls become transparent, and the light comes in from the hall outside the room.Roach's room is a small square of about nine square meters, like a transparent cubic cage.Through the wall, you can clearly see another cage in front of you, separated by a narrow corridor, and there is also a figure behind the wall.Roach turned his head numbly, and there was an almost identical transparent cage behind him, and there was a figure standing behind the glass.His left, right, and even the left front, left rear, right front, and right rear in his vision are like being in a nine-square grid, with the same three-meter-long cubic cage and the same figure.If he could ascend to the air now, he would see a boundless underground hall, where countless transparent cubes were neatly arranged at intervals of one meter, and a moving figure was trapped in each cube.

Roach stood quietly for a while, and finally dragged him to the ground in frustration. He sat on the ground, his mind blank.

Roach stayed in this prison for a long time, and the time was a little blurred.There is no natural light here, and no one cares about work and rest time. Roach suspects that they may be deliberately confusing the prisoners' sense of time.After the prisoners lose their ability to judge time, life will be more difficult and their spirits will break down more easily.He could only guess based on the number of times he was hungry, he should have been trapped here for more than two days.

It took him a few hours to calm down at first, and he didn't have to be calm if he wanted to. He had plenty of time.They seemed to have decided to just forget about him after throwing him down.After being tense, anxious, and miserable for hours, he couldn't concentrate and worry anymore.He broke the cans, and he didn't even want to look at the first meal, but now he has begun to discern the origin of the food with relish.

As for the purpose of this place, or what kind of mages such a magnificent prison is used to imprison, he has already figured it out.It's hard to figure it out, the lunatic in the next block has been rubbing fireballs, setting fires under the protection of protective magic, and his block is like an atomic bomb sandbox.Roach has now decided to call him a platypus, after a great game, Pokémon.As for the woman in the square in front of Roach, Roach called her the Ice Queen. She would rain a blizzard in her own square whenever she saw a platypus set fire to it. She had buried herself alive at least three times.Every time a blizzard engulfs her, her block heats up automatically, melting the snow into water, which is then drained out of the block's underside drainage system.

They toss alternately, completely crazy.Of course, Roach could see the huge commonality between them. Apart from the fact that they were all crazy, they both had abundant magical power, and they were both a bit destructive without blocks blocking them.In this way, those people who are closed in other squares may be more terrifying because they are not so crazy rabbits.Roach actually knew what those people would be classified as, high-energy sociopaths.High energy, yes, each mage like this is like a burning energy block.

Roach never dreamed that he would not put this label on himself.

While waiting, he recalled several cases of such mages. Most of their targets were humans, and every large-scale human war was the golden age of these people.At such times, the mage committee is too busy to protect itself. Human beings' war capabilities have become stronger and stronger, and the mage committee has long been devastated.But in peacetime, it is not easy to do such a thing after all.

Luo Qi remembers a few recent examples, including the ghost hotel murderer in Japan, the gas explosion maniac in the Central Plains, the devourer of self-driving tourists in the Northwest, the modern corpse king in Xiangxi... There is even a man who named himself Siberian Tiger The God Eater King exterminated the world. I heard that this magician was only 16 years old when he was caught.Roach decided to give himself a well-known code name. He spent several hours thinking about it, and finally made a difficult decision, deciding that he should be called "King of Kings, Big Civet Cat King Swallowing Heaven and Earth".

Roach also took the time to look at the few quieter magicians around him, but this was nothing compared to their interest in him.Except for the platypus and the snow queen who ignored outsiders in their own world, Roach had long noticed that several other people approached the transparent walls of the cube, observing all his actions from all directions.This may be the reason why the prison is designed to be a transparent body, and every prisoner in it is deprived of privacy.

The cube is open, transparent, and feels like a soft glue, but it is able to block the power of magic.In addition, the cube can even completely isolate the sound. What Roach experienced in the cube is almost absolute silence.In this silence, his own breathing sounded like a noise, which was a crazy feeling, and Roach even wanted to stop his breathing several times.

Gradually he realized that absolute silence is a more terrifying torture than deprivation of privacy. He listened to his own breathing, his own heartbeat, and for a while he seemed to hear the tidal sound of his blood flowing in his blood vessels. It is not clear which one is the real voice and which one is hallucination.After a few hours here, he started to ring in his ears, and the white noise haunted him, and he tried his best to distract himself and think about something.Fortunately, he is very good at distraction, and the shortcoming of wandering in a daze has become his lifeline.

As for the people around... When he had just been here for a few hours, the middle-aged lunatic in the cube on his left slowly pulled out the faucet at him and pissed on him.Since then, he has all but given up on observing them.

But it didn't take long before he found out with a terrible headache that from the configuration of his own room, the subspace in the cube as the toilet still reserved a little bit of privacy for the prisoners, but the setting of this privacy came from magic. powerful.Roach almost hated the magician's obsession with magic. How troublesome is it to repair a few walls?Judging from the behavior of the people around him, they really trust this magic barrier, and they should really not be able to see each other.However, this privacy magic based on psychological intervention did not work for Roach at all.

Finally, Roach lay down on the ground. The ground was not warm, but it was not cold either.He stared at the light overhead and felt like a floating corpse lying at the bottom of a pond, or a white mouse in a huge laboratory.

He lay there trying to think of things that would make him happy. He was always a cheerful person.But even for him, after being trapped in the cube for a long time, his mood became more and more gloomy, and despair fell silently.He was thinking about what would happen next, and Du Zhengyi would notify the people who should be notified. According to the mage's execution regulations, Qionglin's people should also notify his parents.

He didn't know what would happen if his parents found out. It might not be easy for the two doctors to come to Qionglin. It would take a few days just to fill out the form and go through the process.He couldn't tell what would happen next, and they probably had nothing to do.His parents are strict with him, but sometimes he has some doubts, his father doesn't really care that he just can't do anything.He vaguely hinted at his father that he might choose to be a human being in the future, and his father was not particularly disappointed.It's just that at that time, Roach was a disappointed person. He vaguely realized that his parents didn't really care about his son.Maybe what they didn't say was that they were already disappointed in him.

Perhaps his parents would not pay attention to this at all, and probably thought that Du Zhengyi, who told them this, was crazy.He didn't know how Du Zhengyi would explain to them, and whether he would lose his patience in the process of explaining.

He thought about these things vaguely, and finally fell asleep.In the dream, he dreamed that he fell into a big pit, and he flashed top-heavy. He opened his eyes suddenly, and found that he was plunged into darkness again, and the cube was moving again.

They decided to interrogate him?
