Chapter 358: Six Punishments Department of Coffin Structure
The lobby is very long, and the corresponding courtyard is also very long.
Opposite the long courtyard, the six prisons, including gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and extreme prison, are arranged in order.
The lobby building is pure black.
The yard's floor tiles, decorations, etc. are also black.
The gates of the six prisons opposite, namely gold, wood, water, fire and earth, are also black.
Only the lantern hanging above is white.
Pitch black.
Very pale.
Xie Yingmian had a complicated expression.
Who came up with this design?
A rectangular courtyard, dark decorations, and pale lanterns.
The entire Six Punishments Department is like a huge coffin.
Fortunately, it was daytime. If it was at night, the timid people would be scared to death if they entered here.
"Do you usually work in here?" Xie Yingmian asked Xiaokui.
Xiao Kui nodded: "Yes."
"The five prisons of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth each have their own gates and courtyards. The prison corresponding to gold is the Jin prison, the prison corresponding to wood is the Mu prison, and so on, with the last one being the Ji prison."
"Every prison officer works in his own place."
"Some of those in the lobby are trainees. They haven't been assigned to any prisons yet and will be assigned after their internship. Some need to go out and investigate cases, and some are being handed over by the Ministry of Justice."
"Although everyone in the Six Punishments Department is afraid of us, we still have a good atmosphere."
Mrs. Liu cannot see, so the sensations of her facial senses are magnified.
She shrugged her shoulders: "There's such a strong evil spirit here."
Xiao Kui licked the sugar man and said, "It's okay."
"Would you like to go to the Wood Prison to play later, Princess Sister?"
"The Wood Prison is really fun. There are man-eating plants and trees inside, as well as giant ants, giant pythons, and the Sky-Swallowing Tyrant. It's really interesting."
"Oh, by the way, the Heart Eternal Flower I wanted to give you last time was made by Mu Ziyu."
Xie Yingmian said, "Let's go when we have time."
"We have business to attend to."
Xiao Kui said, "Oh, you're here to see that wild man, right?"
"He's a heavy drug addict, and his drug addiction is terrifying when it strikes. Luckily, you sent him to the Six Punishments Department, where only the Golden Prison can hold him."
"You guys come with me."
Xiao Kui took Xie Yingmian and Madam Liu to the Golden Prison.
As soon as he entered the Prison, Xie Yingmian felt that behind the ancient gate was all metal.
Starting from the entrance, the doors, windows, floors, and houses are all made of forged metal.
On the ground is where the officials of the Jinziyu Prison work.
The real Pyramid Prison is below.
The underground prison is also made of metal.
The entire Prison is like a huge iron barrel, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as impregnable.
Xie Yingmian looked at the large area of metal in the Golden Prison and asked, "The climate in Shangjing City is relatively dry. If it were the dry season of spring or autumn, wouldn't it all be covered in static electricity if touched?"
"What is static electricity?" Xiao Kui asked.
Xie Yingmian explained it in simple terms: "During the dry seasons of spring and autumn, your hands will feel a painful electric shock when you touch metal, or you'll hear a popping sound when you comb your hair or take off your clothes."
"This tiny electric current generated by friction is called static electricity."
Xiaokui understood.
The official in charge of leading the way was none other than the official named Li who had been imprisoned by the emperor last time when Xie Yingmian wanted to disobey the order to rescue Xiao Lingxi. Yu Lingye told her that she could go out for a short time under the joint supervision of the prince and the official of the Six Punishments Department.
Xie Yingmian remembered that his name was Li Huan.
Li Huan smiled and said, "The princess is indeed different."
"You are the first one to consider this issue after entering the Golden Inquisition."
"Static electricity is a very fitting term. It's especially hard on us in the spring and fall, the summer as well, and even harder in the winter."
Xiao Kui rolled her eyes: "To put it bluntly, it's hard to endure all year round."
Li Huan: "Master Xiaokui is wise."
Xie Yingmian asked, "I'm very curious, how do you deal with the summer thunderstorm season?"
Li Huan said, "Actually, staying in a building on the ground isn't a big problem. The Six Punishments Department was built by the Yan family, a master of machinery."
"The Yan family considered these issues during construction and had a special design. During the summer thunderstorm season, lightning will be diverted to the underground prison through lightning rods."
"Of course, it's not all prisons, it's the heavy-duty prisons."
"Every time there's thunder, the prisoners in the maximum-security prisons go through a torture session. They're all extremely vicious people, and their sentences are indefinite. Every summer, they're electrocuted until they feel like they're scorched."
"This is also the terrifying aspect of the Golden Prison." Li Huan said with a smile.
"The Yan family's design goes beyond this. Lightning can be stored. In other words, as long as we are willing, we can store the collected lightning and release it whenever needed."
Xie Yingmian's eyes sparkled when he heard this.
Isn't this just a simplified version of electric shock?
"Will the prisoner be electrocuted?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Li called out, "We will control them and won't electrocute them, but it will definitely be uncomfortable."
"Serious criminals are very violent. When they become overly violent, only the power of thunder and lightning can subdue them."
Mrs. Liu's hair stood on end as she listened.
The Six Punishments Department is indeed the Six Punishments Department.
Even the legendary Jinzi Prison, which was said to have the lightest punishment, was so perverted.
Liu Qian was imprisoned here, and according to Princess Ling, Liu Qian would also become irritable when he had an attack.
Then, was Liu Qian also electrocuted...
Mrs. Liu's heart was in a knot.
Xiao Kui nodded vigorously: "I have seen it, I have seen it."
"After being struck by lightning, their hair looked like it had exploded. The grumpy old men were lying on the ground, puffing out black smoke. It was hilarious."
"But I don't like the Golden Prison. There's just too much electricity there."
Li Huan also sighed: "Yes, we use the power of thunder and lightning on the prisoners."
"Golden Prison, use the power of static electricity on us."
"We also asked the Yan family's mechanical master to take a look, but he didn't have many good solutions."
"The air is so dry in spring and autumn that it crackles all the time. My hair flies everywhere, and my hands hurt for a long time after I touch them. It's really scarred me."
"It's too hot in the summer, and those metals really absorb heat. We are like being boiled in a pot."
"As for winter, winter is even more troublesome."
"If we don't light a fire, we'll freeze to death. If we do, the whole house will be hot. If we're not careful, we'll get blisters. I almost want to jump to the Wood Prison next door. At least it's warm in the winter and cool in the summer."
Xiao Kui rolled her eyes: You even jumped to the Muzi Prison. Let’s see if the Muzi Prison will scare you to death.
The Jinzi Prison is the mildest form of prison, and this is no joke.
Xie Yingmian pondered: "Why do you insist on using metal to build your house?"
Li Huan: "Because we are the Golden Prison."
Xie Yingmian: "Does the Golden Prison have to have metal exposed?"
Li Huan: ...He hasn't considered this issue.
Xie Yingmian: "Why not pave the room with wood or stone slabs?"
Li Huan: "Then it's not the Golden Prison."
Xie Yingmian: "Strictly speaking, lightning and gold have little to do with each other."
Li Huan was suddenly speechless.
