Karl Star Country.
Death Star, Prison Nine.
The barely decent living conditions did not bring the prosperity of life to this planet. I don’t know when, but it became a garbage star. Various mechanical debris piled up like mountains. From time to time, a few arcs flashed out, and the air was full of There was a smell of burnt cables.
The ninth prison, which occupies nearly half of the entire planet, stands among these wreckage.
Each district is like a fortress, exuding a strange solemnity under the light of the blue star.
This is the largest prison in the entire Karl Star Kingdom. It houses many prisoners and many secrets that cannot be told. Therefore, there is extremely complete intelligent security and weapons equipment here.
It has been more than 600 years since its construction. The zero success rate of prison escape and the very good benefits have made this place a dream job for the prison guards of Carl Star State.
Lin Jie once had such an ideal and struggled for it for a long time.
And God did not let down his efforts. After twenty-three years of struggle from birth to now, he finally entered the ninth prison and successfully became... a prisoner in custody.
…
"Prisoner T9527, Lin Jie, 23 years old, common man. You are even more handsome in person than in the photo..."
The interrogation room in Area T of the prison.
Lin Jie sat on the interrogation chair and watched the middle-aged woman in front of him put the file in her hand on the table, smiled at himself and said: "Hello, Mr. Lin Jie, please introduce yourself, my name is Jenna. ·Downs, is the warden of the Ninth Prison."
"Hello, Warden."
"You can call me Ms. Jenna, or Mrs. Downs."
One of the basic methods of interrogation, friendly communication to shorten the distance... Lin Jie smiled back: "Okay Mrs. Downs, actually I have heard about your deeds a long time ago. I am honored to meet you today. I didn't expect you to be so caring. Well, I’m fifty-five years old, and I don’t have many wrinkles on my skin.”
The corner of Jenna's mouth twitched, and the fake smile she maintained almost failed.
"I'm sorry, I was rude. Please allow me to put it another way... As an ordinary person, you look very young, and you don't look like a fifty-five-year-old woman."
"Really? So how old do I look?"
"Fifty-four."
"..."
Do you think you are very humorous?
Jenna raised her eyebrows, and her kind smile gradually faded: "Your joke is not funny at all, Mr. Lin Jie, where do you think this is? This is the ninth prison, and I am the highest officer here. I am asking you Ask questions!”
An upgraded version of the interrogation method, used to deter the person being interrogated if he or she refuses to cooperate... Isn't there something more advanced?
The smile on Lin Jie's face grew wider: "Okay, warden, it's just a joke. Don't be so angry. If you get too angry, it will cause the basophils in your anterior pituitary gland to secrete abnormal luteinizing hormone."
"...What will happen?"
"It will cause you to ovulate abnormally..."
"9527!"
Jenna was really angry.
As the warden, she has seen too many prisoners. There are countless scum imprisoned in the Ninth Prison, and many of them are crazy and provocative after seeing her. But for some reason, Lin Jie's understatement is more... Those dirty and obscene provocations made her even more angry.
But...you still have to endure it for a while.
After taking a few deep breaths, Jenna reopened her eyes and tried to make her expression less ferocious: "Mr. Lin Jie, you are still very young. Think about your family and friends, think about yourself, you still have a bright future. Why do we have to talk like this? To be honest, when I see you today, I actually want to help you."
The ultimate interrogation method, the emotional card... Lin Jie sneered in his heart, but a hesitant look appeared on his face at the right moment, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he looked at Jenna and said, "Really? Can you really help me?"
Relented... Jenna's eyes lit up, and she continued: "Of course it's true, otherwise there are so many prisoners in the Ninth Prison, why would I want to talk to you alone?"
"So, what do you need me to do?"
"I want you to cooperate with me." Jenna thought that a breakthrough had been opened, and the smile climbed back onto her cheeks and said: "I need you to trust me without reservation, tell me your identity and background, and why you were transferred to the ninth place. Prison, what crime have you committed?”
What crime can I have? I am only twenty-three years old. I just want to live. What crime can I have? Lin Jie complained in his heart, but his face showed a frank and lenient expression: "I'll tell you the truth, Mrs. Downs. I hacked the security system of the Presidential Palace, sneaked into the Presidential Palace, fought with the security guards for three hours, and stunned more than a dozen bodyguards before I found the president's son and successfully snatched him away. Lollipop in hand.”
"..."
Jenna's face turned ugly again and she stared at Lin Jie coldly: "The President only has three daughters and no sons!"
"Really? Then wait until I make up another one for you."
"Mr. Lin Jie!"
"Don't be anxious, Mrs. Downs. I can make up many charges, and there will always be one that suits me."
"9527!"
"Are you angry? Don't be angry. Have you forgotten? Being angry will cause you to ovulate abnormally..."
"Shut up! Shut up! You bastard!"
Jenna was so mad that she almost yelled and ordered the guards to take Lin Jie down.
After a while, she finally calmed down and sat back on the chair.
The dim light reflected her nasolabial folds, which had become increasingly obvious as she aged, and above that, a pair of sinister menopausal eyes.
…
"It turns out that no matter where in the world, age is an absolute critical blow to those mean women..."
Beside the pool in the ventilation area, Lin Jie lowered his head and smiled after washing his face.
Yes, Lin Jie is a fellow countryman of everyone here, and his ancestral home is the earth.
After traveling to this world, he spent twenty-three years, starting from a baby, slowly learning the language and knowledge here, being strict with himself, abiding by the law, growing up little by little, and being imprisoned step by step. The ninth prison.
The twists and turns in this cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
"Huh..." Lin Jie let out a long breath.
The water in the sink reflected his appearance, with black hair, black pupils, and a beard that hadn't been taken care of for a few days gradually taking over the area around his mouth, adding a bit of vicissitude to him. The slightly melancholy eyes, paired with a joking smile, give him a different kind of free and easy look.
Unfortunately, the gray prison uniform and the electronic collar around his neck ruined the beauty of the entire picture.
"I just heard about it before, but now I realize that this thing is really uncomfortable."
Lin Jie turned around and touched the electronic collar around his neck while observing the prisoners who were also moving around.
Most of the inmates in the Ninth Prison are like Lin Jie, they belong to the so-called "common people", and their physical characteristics are no different from those on Earth. It is said that this race is relatively common in the universe and has no obvious racial characteristics. Such a name.
As far as the eye can see, there are only a few other races in the T-zone, with different appearances and indescribable looks.
But everyone has one thing in common, that is, they all wear this electronic collar.
According to Lin Jie's understanding, in addition to its suppression capabilities, this collar also has satellite positioning and blasting functions. If someone escapes from the prescribed range or attempts to open the collar with external force, this thing will explode on the spot, making the person a Professional Xingtian COSER.
Seeing that everyone was waiting obediently, Lin Jie did not make a desperate attempt to open the collar, but gradually closed his eyes and his consciousness sank into his body.
As a time traveler, he actually has one more thing.
A Rubik's Cube.
It was in his body, either in his brain or somewhere else. Even the instruments of the interstellar era couldn't detect the specific location. Lin Jie naturally couldn't be sure, but he could see it as long as he closed his eyes.
In a dark space, the Rubik's Cube was suspended there.
The whole body is composed of an unknown alloy, and the six faces are all the same color, but each small face has different light white lines, and the 'tic' dividing line shines with light blue, full of a sense of technology.
"Twenty-five years ago, Brother Rubik's Cube..." Lin Jie felt a rare pain in his balls while admiring the Rubik's Cube.
His fate with this Rubik's Cube can be traced back to before time travel, and even Lin Jie was basically certain that his time travel had a lot to do with the Rubik's Cube.
At that time, he was just a fresh graduate. After finding a job, he went out to eat well in the evening to celebrate. On his way home after dark, he noticed something reflecting light in the grass on the roadside. Out of instinctive curiosity, He also went over to take a look.
And that reflective thing is this Rubik's Cube.
Lin Jie's journey of vindication began at this moment.
Originally, this kind of Rubik's cube with six sides of the same color and fragmented textures is very difficult to piece together. Most people give up after trying twice and can't put it together. At most, they take it home as a decoration and have nothing to do. time to research.
But Lin Jie is not an ordinary person.
You may call him obsessive-compulsive disorder, or you may call him a quirk.
All in all, he has a special obsession with puzzles, Rubik's Cubes, and calculation decryption. He once had a glorious record of not sleeping for three days in order to clear a puzzle game.
That night, the Rubik's Cube aroused his desire for challenge.
He squatted on the curb on the side of the road, constantly observing and conceiving. From night to midnight, he spent four hours and half a pack of cigarettes, and finally put those messy textures on one side of the Rubik's Cube. A pattern was pieced together.
Then, he traveled through time.
That's right, without any precaution or worry, he didn't even have time to see clearly what the pieced together pattern was, and he just traveled through time.
From a newborn, it took more than twenty years to grow into an upright prisoner.
And for more than twenty years, this Rubik's Cube has been in his body, and he can see it when he closes his eyes, but nothing has been done.
Lin Jie tried to turn it again more than once to communicate with it.
But this Rubik's Cube is like an irresponsible scumbag. It seduced Lin Jie that night, exercised with Lin Jie on the side of the road for four hours, abducted Lin Jie to this interstellar world, and even entered Lin Jie. Jie's body... Then, he didn't care about Lin Jie.
Twenty-three years later, it just stood there, no matter how hard Lin Jie tried, there was no response.
This left Lin Jie speechless.
After traveling through time, it seems like there is something hanging, but it doesn’t seem like there is.
"Fuck..." Once again, the communication was fruitless. Lin Jie opened his eyes speechlessly. Looking around, he couldn't help but mutter: "All-weather surveillance, electronic blasting collar that suppresses abilities, fifty-meter alloy wall, and military satellites to protect you." Escort, this Rubik's Cube is useless, how can I leave this hellish place?"
Rumble——
Suddenly, the metal gate made a heavy sound. Lin Jie and the other prisoners looked over together, and two figures came into their sight.
Standing in front is a bald man, who is just like Lin Jie, but his body is taller and stronger than Lin Jie. He looks about two meters tall, full of oppression, but the young curly hair next to him makes him look thin. A lot.
As soon as Hajime appeared, the noisy ventilation area suddenly became quiet.
"Prison bully?"
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows slightly.
The scene before him was like the noisy students suddenly seeing their class teacher at the door, which gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
On the other side, the bald man seemed to be used to this kind of scene and didn't have much reaction. He walked into the viewing area with a straight face and the young people around him.
But what Lin Jie didn't expect was that a transport truck followed the two of them. As the two entered the ventilation area, the transport truck also drove in.
Standing on top of the car was an iron guy over five meters tall, human-shaped, with damage to his chest and abdomen, and the cockpit inside could be seen.
The overall proportions are slender, and it can be seen that the designers of the mecha deliberately pursued flexibility, but... its condition is not good, with aging and mottled parts, and the burnt black smoke coming out of the interior of the mecha. Telling others that it is on the verge of being scrapped.
Field mecha... Lin Jie narrowed his eyes.
Why is there such a thing in prison?
