A blue portal lit up out of thin air like a whirlpool, flashing out in front of the prison door.
This prison is like a lonely castle, with towering steel walls rising above the earth.
A huge mesh-shaped steel city gate hangs on the city wall, and green and deep colors overflow from the castle.
Stainless steel towers tower into the sky, and the silent sky casts a dark shadow on the desolate and vast land.
A green light bloomed from the tower, sweeping across the empty ground at all times, monitoring all outsiders.
This is Guanta Prison, the largest prison in Barlow County.
The criminals locked up here are all extremely feared beings in the outside world.
Such as those maniacs who kill senselessly, or arsonists who deliberately burn down banks.
There are even lunatics who devour their own kind like demons.
And these criminals cannot even be locked up in the deepest part of the prison.
A man in a black trench coat stepped out of the portal, with two girls following closely behind him.
It is obviously daytime here, but no light can penetrate the sky of this prison.
Aurelion stepped into this place for the first time, and the brief darkness made her eyes out of focus.
After a moment of adaptation, she looked around.
What is this place?
After all, Aurelion is from the Empire, so it is normal that she has never seen the prison of the Kingdom.
Fortunately, there is a native of the kingdom beside her.
Prixis looked around, her scarlet eyes looking particularly bright in the dim darkness:
"This is the Guita prison in Barlow County, a place of exile used to hold the most dangerous prisoners in the kingdom."
Aurelion felt strange. Could this be considered a prison?
She didn't see it at all.
And the next second, something even stranger came.
Along the glittering green of the towering tower, a hanging skull slowly floated down.
The skull's upper and lower jaws collided together, making a sound of bones colliding.
The back of the head was supported by a deep will-o'-the-wisp, like a ghostly long snake, floating down from the sky.
A flying skull, placed in front of such a gloomy prison, does look a bit scary.
Pulisis had been an undead before, so she didn't feel much when she saw the floating skull.
Aurelion was not so lucky. She looked at the skeleton and shuddered.
But...it seems that I can barely accept it.
After the last battle in Sulburn, her endurance was much better than before.
The skull circled in the air several times and landed in front of Victor:
"You must be Mr. Victor."
"Our prison has received your reservation information, and I, Karin, will be here to host your visit today."
Victor looked at it and nodded calmly.
The skull swung in the air and floated to Aurelion's side. After looking at it carefully, he became surprised:
"Oh my god, is this Princess Aurelion?"
"I heard that you are the granddaughter of Grand Duke Barlow. Please be sure to say a few kind words for me in Grand Duke Barlow's ears."
It seemed to be too excited, and the two upper and lower jaws collided "click-click" at a very fast speed.
Aurelion was a little unable to cope with it, so she just smiled stiffly and nodded.
The green will-o'-the-wisp bypassed her side and floated to Pulix's side:
"Oh! Praise the god of death, look at this poor little thing, Prixis, I know your father, he is a respected earl."
"I didn't expect you to come too. It seems your father successfully brought you back from the brink of death."
When her biological father was mentioned, Priscilla's mood immediately dimmed.
His head was lowered, as if he was weighed down by melancholy and unable to raise his head.
Then, a cold voice sounded from in front of her:
"Have you had enough nonsense?"
Karin immediately shut up, and even the sound of bones clashing disappeared.
Just like the speed of disappearing at noon, Karin's attitude instantly became humble:
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Victor, I've relapsed into getting excited when I see a living person."
"As you can see, I will control my problems, so for the rest of the visit, please come with me."
The three of them entered the castle together with Karin, passing by a land burning with green flames.
There are various forms of skeletons wandering on the land, and there are even skeletons that look like dogs, crouching low and sniffing the scent all over the streets.
It's like being on patrol.
Soon, a tall rock building appeared in front of them.
The huge steel gate rose, and the green atmosphere spread from the building.
Like water overflowing from a cage, it rolled over the ankles of the three people.
At that moment, the chill in Aureliano's heart suddenly rose up to her spine.
Just now, it seemed as if a cold hand caressed her ankle mercilessly.
She subconsciously stamped her feet, but found that it was just the mist on the ground causing trouble.
Aurelion exhaled in relief.
It seemed that she was too nervous.
Puxisi only felt a little damp, and a helpless smile appeared on her face.
But when they first stepped inside, the musty smell filled their nostrils like wildly writhing worms.
Decay and dampness were almost intertwined, and the originally depressing atmosphere seemed to be covered with a layer of deathly silence.
Victor couldn't help but frown, and a weak wind blew up from his body, blowing away the overflowing breath and mist.
"This prison needs to be cleaned."
"Oh! Yes, yes, yes!"
Aurelion and Priscilla breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the mist being blown away by the wind.
This dampness and coldness are really not something ordinary people can bear.
The building is dizzyingly large, but the passage in front of it is eerily narrow.
Tick tock—tick tock—
The sound of dripping water echoed in the dark tunnel, reverberating on every wall, like an endless sound of despair.
Thick, mesh-like iron doors are inlaid on both sides of the tunnel. Each iron door is five meters apart and stands quietly on both sides.
The light was dim and the weak candle flame flickered. It tried its best to dispel the darkness in this passage only a little bit.
Couldn't even light up the cells on either side.
Broken iron chains hung from the ceiling of the passage, as if they had been scrapped for a long time.
The entire tunnel seemed to be filled with thick smoke rising from under the rock floor, following the holes and entering the cells on both sides.
The prisoners were imprisoned in the cells one by one.
Their faces were filled with despair and numbness, and they wore uniforms of the same style with various rune formations painted on them.
As long as they dare to riot, these runes will completely destroy them like bombs.
Even so, there were still skeleton soldiers wearing armor and burning green flames standing outside the cell.
They are armed with heavy weapons and monitor every prisoner.
Want to jailbreak?
Want to try various ways to die?
Aurelion and Priscis were like children exploring the world for the first time, looking around curiously, their eyes full of surprise.
After all, this is the first time they have seen the inside of a prison.
However, doubts arose in Aurelion's heart.
Teacher, why did you bring her to a place like this?
Karin, who was floating and leading the way forward, her bones cracking like a machine gun, introduced to everyone:
"This is the first floor. It mainly guards some prisoners who have committed relatively minor crimes."
Those detained here are basically petty theft criminals who have been sentenced to less than three years in prison.
But the eerie atmosphere of this prison is enough to deter them from committing crimes in the future.
Karin said to the three of them while floating forward:
"There are more levels in this fortress prison, and of course, they're all underground."
"The deeper you go into the castle, the density of guards will gradually increase."
Victor frowned after listening to his introduction, and simply asked directly:
"Take us to where the condemned prisoners are."
Karin was stunned for a moment, and the green flames supporting it seemed to become anxious.
Looking back, he seemed very embarrassed:
"This...Mr. Victor, you have to know that although I am the warden, I can't make the decision."
The prisoners on death row who can be imprisoned here are the ones that Archduke Barlow wants to deal with personally.
It’s not that Karin doubted Victor’s strength;
But Victor is an outsider after all, so he is a little worried.
If Victor released a few of these, their heads wouldn't be enough to fall off.
oh! It almost forgot, its head had fallen off a long time ago!
But the next second, Victor took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
Emblazoned on it is the exclusive mark of Grand Duke Barlow, an undead skeleton burning with will-o'-the-wisps.
Under the icon, there is also a line of names written:
【Ferstein Barlow】
Karin took one look and her jaw dropped to the ground in shock.
It hurriedly searched for it in the thick smoke, and finally Puxisi picked it up and put it under its head.
"Oh my God! Miss Pulisis, you are so kind!"
"Thank you! Helped me find the most precious chin!"
Then it cleared its non-existent throat and stood in awe.
"I understand. Since I have the endorsement of Grand Duke Barlow, I can take you to visit the last floor."
As it spoke, it floated ahead of the road, followed closely by Victor and the two girls.
Aurelion and Priscilla both became curious.
Being so mysterious? It even required the seal of Archduke Barlow to pass.
After that, they walked to the end of the first floor and stood together on an empty elevator.
The skull bit a handle and pulled it off.
Boom——
The elevator moved slowly, erupting with a heavy echo and the crunch of rusty steel.
As the elevator moved, Karin said to Priscilla and Aurelion:
"Ladies, please relax next time. If necessary, you can close your eyes and cover your ears."
"Because the following pictures and sounds may make you feel uncomfortable."
The two looked at each other, a little confused.
The elevator quickly went down to the second floor.
The green flames here are more powerful than before, like poisonous snakes licking the cold stone wall.
The miserable screams echoed in this deep passage and penetrated into the eardrums of Aurelion and Priscilla, making them feel that every pore was tightened.
On the third floor, it becomes even more terrifying.
Burning torture instruments were scattered randomly on both sides of the passage, and the flames became more intense.
The torture tools in the hands of the skeleton soldiers and the screams of the prisoners formed a miserable symphony.
Such a sight made Aurelion's eyes seem to be stabbed.
Pulisis took a deep breath, trying to stabilize her trembling mood.
Soon, the elevator reached the fourth floor.
Here, red flames flooded the passage like a flood, and every inch of the land seemed to be burning.
The Iron Lady chariot roared, pushing the prisoners into the cells that were already surrounded by flames.
The unfortunate souls imprisoned here will suffer eternal pain.
They have been sentenced to life imprisonment and have also been deprived of their dignity and rights as human beings.
Their faces were pale with discomfort, and at this moment, they deeply regretted it.
I regret not covering my eyes and ears earlier.
Just one glance made them feel extremely cruel.
I'm afraid the heart-wrenching pain can't compare to these endless miseries.
Karin turned her head, with a little apology in her tone:
"I'm sorry, ladies. The scene will be better later."
Along with its words, the huge elevator slowly stopped rumbling.
Suddenly, the light of stars filled the front.
Aurelion and Priscilla raised their heads, their eyes reflecting the stars.
They are like beacons in a dream, shining endlessly.
Karin also looked more solemn at this moment, and her voice was deep:
"We're almost there."
"This is the fifth floor where death row prisoners are imprisoned - the land of Lingyi Stars."
