Chapter 056 Prison Break Simulator
As mentioned before, Jixu's skill 2 is quite special. It is special because it is specially customized. However, due to the limitations of the game content, its function must be limited to communicating with prisoners.
Normal players don't have such concerns. Players who become jailers can monitor the mission target at any time and find opportunities to talk to them. Unfortunately, the disadvantage is that they live with the warden day and night, and it is easy to be thrown into the incinerator and burned into ashes after backstabbing. This is done in one step, saving the need to go back to the real world and spend money on coffins and funeral services.
The player who becomes the contact will appear as a disguised family member. The difficulty and advantages and disadvantages are moderate. It is worth noting that you should avoid being discovered and reported, so as not to become a cellmate with the target and stare at each other. That would be really hopeless.
Ji Xu had nothing. He only had a prison break company, so the simulator's background was stuck for a long time before he tentatively sent out a few simple communicators.
The good news is that he can contact the criminals at any time and does not have to be confined to the prison. The bad news is that when Ji Xu first came in, he didn't even know where the Wei Di Prison was. He had to gain the trust of the target of the mission within a single meeting, and the sense of trust had to be cultivated from scratch.
Of course, the season sequence also favors the current situation.
After all, he is a bit of a maverick, and what suits others may not be suitable for him. This communicator is good and can be considered an important equipment. It allows him to contact anyone remotely, even if they are not the target of the mission.
Ji Xu sent a message to Jiang Yi, asking her to go and take a look at what the corpse that would be put into the crematorium today looked like, and then bring someone with a similar body shape to the corpse over.
Jiang Yi, who was still hiding, immediately sent a message: "?"
Without waiting for Ji Xu to reply, she quickly figured out the reason and made a coherent statement: "I remember that the body needs to be dressed up and examined by the family before it is put into the crematorium. This takes half a day. Well, the publicity of the Wei Di Prison is good at least, which attracts many ignorant fools to come in and be toyed with by the warden, including me."
"That's a very pertinent review." Ji Xu didn't say whether her guess was right or not. "Remember to avoid the cafeteria, it's a bit messy there."
My goodness, now half of the prison is about to be razed to the ground by bulldozers, and the cafeteria is still standing firmly among the ruins, so what kind of chaos are you talking about?
Jiang Yi complained in her heart, but she turned around and ran towards the morgue. There was no pursuer behind her. Compared with the attacks of others, Ji Xu had always asked her to hide. Now Jiang Yi finally knew the reason.
Ji Xu did not give orders this time, perhaps he had more important things to do. But it didn't matter. People who could go to prison were not incompetent. Jiang Yi calculated the routes of other people in the group and found a route leading to the morgue.
…
The steps of setting up the weapon were so familiar. After pulling the trigger, the grenade head hit the locked door. Everything became distorted and cracked in the explosion, and fragments were ejected and splashed outwards, which were successfully blocked by several rows of explosion-proof shields.
The guards gestured to each other, acting more like mercenaries and soldiers trained in war than prison employees. Two of them nodded quickly, put down their riot shields, kicked aside the chairs and walked in with submachine guns.
The driver, who was hiding under the dining table with his head in his hands, was pulled out by the jailer. He staggered and trembled with fear.
The warden stood in front of the rubble with his back to him, lost in thought. He turned around when he heard footsteps behind him. His face was expressionless, without any anger or smile that almost caused psychological trauma to those who knew him.
The warden calmly walked up to the driver and squatted down. The driver was so stunned that he stopped walking unconsciously. He then felt a chill. It was obvious that he had guessed wrong. The warden was not as kind as he had imagined.
People always lose their minds when things are out of their control, but the warden is not like that. He gently wiped the dust off his face and asked, "Come on, tell me, what is your contact information with C?"
The driver was in a difficult struggle and never answered.
The warden raised his hands, and suddenly someone kicked him from behind. His body suddenly lost weight. The driver subconsciously reached out for support, and the moment his hands approached the warden, countless gun muzzles were immediately raised and rushed towards him.
The warden kindly supported his body which was falling to the ground, held the driver's head, and forced him to turn his head to observe the black gun muzzles behind him.
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you,” the driver’s mind went blank amidst the overlapping fears. However, the fear of what would happen made him unconsciously avoid telling the truth. “I really don’t know anything! I know C because he once took my car and he showed me his business. I don’t know how C guessed what I wanted to do at the time. He he he…”
The driver gritted his teeth and said, "He has many other clients in prison. What happened today was caused by C instigating them."
"I'm a little surprised." The warden was really surprised, which made him understand why C exposed the driver. "You actually think that I still don't know who the culprit is. Am I acting stupid? Or do you have a poor eye for people? Let me guess, you don't think C is some little lamb who can be betrayed at will, right?"
The driver was speechless and glanced at everyone around him with horror. The prison guards he was staring at all had no expression on their faces.
The warden added, "I thought that any normal person could hear the certainty in my question. C handed me his business card, and the next step was a confrontation. I could sense that he was not someone who hid himself, but he had not given me a way to communicate. I couldn't just go around shouting who he was and asking him to come see me like a young boy. So I thought he had already put the clues in front of me."
The more the driver listened, the more his body trembled. The warden's words reminded him of many days ago. The face in front of him seemed to overlap with another face that occasionally wore a smile. The old days reappeared, and the memory that he had deliberately forgotten finally came up to him. How Ji Xu sat leisurely in the car, sitting next to two not-so-simple strangers, unarmed, but easily holding the right to speak.
Memories and reality overlapped, and he almost saw Ji Xu right in front of him.
The warden asked almost gently, "What do you think?"
This client could not afford the price and went against C's wishes many times.
Seeing his dazed and desperate look, the warden suddenly stood up in disgust. Ignoring the driver's fallen and limp body, he wiped his hands and said, "Search directly."
The jailers first used metal detectors to scan and check, but found nothing as expected, so they started searching directly and found a piece of equipment the size of half a palm on the body. The warden checked it over and over again, but couldn't recognize what material it was. Suddenly, the screen lit up, and a message was sent almost at the same time he picked up the communicator.
Ji Xu: "Good evening."
The warden was stunned by the nickname above. He blinked hesitantly and uncertainly, as if he saw something incomprehensible, just like a human seeing an airplane speeding on the road with rollers installed. The jailers were also stunned. When had they seen such confused and bewildered expressions on their superiors' faces?
But soon, the warden collected his composure and regained his composure. He read the conversation from beginning to end, and Ji Xu tacitly did not interrupt him.
When the warden saw Ji Xu guiding the driver to sneak into the office, he raised his eyebrows. He didn't say anything afterward like "It's you." After knowing Ji Xu's existence, he had a vague guess about what happened in the past few days.
After browsing through all the information and confirming that the shadow lurking among the prisoners every time they carried out their plans without realizing it was the driver, he was ready to put down the communicator.
Ji Xu interrupted him: "Have you finished reading? If you have, then let him live. It won't be too late to die after he is released from prison."
Warden: ...
He asked word by word, almost in amazement, "Are you discussing your prison break plan with me, the person in charge of this prison?"
"Everyone who runs a company needs to have close relationships with the talent market and suppliers, and I am no exception. And—"
Ji Xu paused for a moment, then said critically, "If a client dies in your hands, it will lower my rating. Although the rating platform is provided by me, I care about this, very much! Let's make a deal, sir. I will provide you with new fun, and I know you don't care whether he dies at the prison gate or in the crematorium."
The warden didn't reply, but put away the communicator: "C's personality is more interesting than I thought."
The driver's lips trembled. Ever since the warden browsed the chat history, he looked pale and afraid that he would think that the warden used the content in the chat history to kill him.
This reminded the warden of Ji Xu who had bargained with him for him, and he couldn't help feeling strange. Although Ji Xu did not appear in front of him, his personality was hard to conceal. Ji Xu was different from criminals and even more different from normal people. He brought the style and habits of normal society into this deformed world and lived out his own unique characteristics, which were incompatible with the rest of the world yet integrated and inclusive.
Thinking of this, the warden forced the driver to look up at him. Looking at the driver's confused eyes, he tortured his spirit cruelly, "How funny! Let me tell you, what good things have you ignored these days? At every fork in the road, C would ask if you were willing to help a little, and he would reset the plan for you, but you firmly refused from beginning to end, and still hoped that he could fulfill his promise."
Of course, Ji Xu is doing it now, but the warden obviously won't tell him the truth, neither the bomb nor Ji Xu's terms of the deal.
The driver slumped to the ground in dejection. The warden waved his hand, signaling someone to drag him aside so as not to disturb his mood for chatting. The smoke rising in the distance had mostly disappeared. During the half hour that they bombed the cafeteria and talked, the problems of ping-pong ball fragments and fire were under control. However, the prisoner was still not caught, and Ji Xu was still commanding them.
The warden turned to Ji Xu and said, "Now is the time for us to talk alone. C, maybe you would rather give me a human name instead of some random letters. Also, I don't like people being half-hearted when talking to me, even if it's you."
Ji Xu was unmoved: "Provocation and statements are useless to me. But you, sir, have you finished threatening him? I hope he will learn to be honest after being beaten. As you can see, chatting with him has always been a headache for me. Even for me, comforting people all the time is a big challenge, especially since he is not my preferred subordinate."
