Everyone looked at the screen silently, with different expressions.
Not long after the cleaning of Equality Paradise started, the screens in the control room gradually went dark, leaving only the last small piece of light and the normal display screen, which was the perspective of the prisoner's camera.
It is very possible that the cameras of other death row inmates were damaged or turned off. Just like the first death row inmate sent to Equality Paradise, the people and the cameras disappeared together.
"It seems that except for the prisoners, all the prisoners on death row are dead." Seeing this, Xu Han made this judgment.
Lu Zhan stared at the screen and thought: "Those prisoners on death row were being chased crazily by so many forbidden creatures at the same time. It would be strange not to die... It seems that they were targeted by Equality Paradise."
Seeing so many camera images disappear at the same time, He Shang was very angry, because it meant that he could no longer watch the live broadcast. He asked: "Why are these guys being targeted just because they carry cameras?"
Lu Zhan knew that the Seventh Yama always liked to join in the fun. Although he was dressed as a monk, he had a restless heart. Of course he would not be happy if the fun was gone.
"The camera is not important. The key point should be the paradise coins. Yan Luo may not know yet, but bringing a camera to Pingding Paradise for live broadcast is a paid item, and you need to pay the paradise coins."
After a pause, Xu Han continued, "Therefore, as soon as these death row prisoners entered the Equality Paradise, their initial balance of paradise coins was only minus seven, one less than the paradise coins of normal explorers - this may be the reason why they were madly hunted.
That’s the key.”
"Is there a charge for bringing a camera into Pingping Paradise?" He Shang asked curiously.
"Yes, and it's very dangerous. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to specially dispatch a group of death row inmates and give them the task of filming."
"I agree with Chief Xu, Paradise Coin is the key."
At this moment, Yang Buwei said, "I don't know if you have noticed that when the purge began, although everyone was hunted down, the escape of other explorers was relatively easy. Although it was equally dangerous, but
It’s not that there is no chance of survival, even the number of people pursued has never exceeded two.”
"And it is obvious that the abilities of these forbidden creatures are also prohibited by the rules of Equality Paradise, otherwise they would have no chance of escaping."
Everyone recalled briefly, and judging from the few scenes after the previous cleansing started, it seemed that this was indeed the case. The average explorer only had two forbidden creatures to chase after at most, and it seemed that they did not use all their strength.
Yang Buwei continued: "On the other hand, these death row prisoners were hunted down by a large number of restricted area creatures at the beginning. The purpose of Equality Paradise is quite clear, which is to kill these guys."
"What does this mean? If you don't have money, you will be beaten?" He Shang wondered.
Yang Buwei said: "According to Chief Xu's previous analysis, the paradise coins can be temporarily paid with the visitors' limbs, so the negative six paradise coins correspond to the six parts of the explorer's limbs, head and torso.
."
"In other words, as early as the moment these explorers entered Pingding Paradise, they had already mortgaged their lives to Pingding Paradise. If they want to leave, they must earn enough paradise coins to redeem their lives. This is why they need to pledge their lives to Pingding Paradise.
The reason why the coins cannot leave the paradise until the coins become non-negative is because their lives no longer belong to them."
Lu Zhan said thoughtfully: "So once the Paradise Coin is lower than minus six, it means that that person no longer has any chips that can be pledged and has lost all value, so he will be hunted down on a large scale during the purge...
…”
He actually had some speculations in his mind, maybe the cleaning of these death row inmates should have started a long time ago, and the reason why Equality Paradise has not started yet is because of the presence of the tombkeepers.
He Shang clicked his tongue and said with emotion: "I see. If you put it this way, Equality Paradise is really shady. There is no way to win in the projects except cheating. Explorers can only have the possibility of having their coins deducted. They are forcing people to play while not letting them go.
If someone wins, this is simply forcing someone to death..."
Everyone has similar thoughts. Equality Paradise is indeed quite tricky. Although you don't need to be as worried as staying in other restricted areas, the oppressive feeling that your life is no longer under your control once you enter is also frightening.
And due to the special rules of Equality Paradise, they can't even send people for reinforcements. After all, once they lose their extraordinary abilities, the number of people actually means nothing.
...Maybe Equality Paradise is looking forward to the arrival of more people.
At this moment, Xu Han suddenly looked at Lu Zhan, with a hint of thorn in his tone: "Liu Qingqing is your subordinate. You should have arranged for her to enter the Equality Paradise. Aren't you worried about her safety?"
Lu Zhan has been against her since he came to the monitoring room. Naturally, it is impossible for Xu Han to be on good terms with him. What's more, sending Liu Qingqing into the Equality Paradise was indeed Lu Zhan's own decision. It would be unnecessary to do anything. If something goes wrong, he can
It can't be separated.
Lu Zhan looked calm: "Of course I'm worried, but I believe she can come out of Equality Paradise alive."
Xu Han shook his head slightly and said: "Do you believe so much in the characteristics of the tombkeeper that the creatures in the restricted area will definitely not attack him?"
"I'm not sure about this, but didn't you just see it?"
Whether it was the cat-head doll's show of goodwill before entering the paradise, or the fear of the monster in the mirror facing Bai Mo just now, it could not be hidden from the eyes of everyone present, and it was enough to explain some problems.
Xu Han did not answer the other party's words, but asked curiously: "I am very curious, if your subordinates really die in the restricted area, how will you feel? I wonder if you will regret it?"
Lu Zhan has always had his own way of doing things. It would be reckless to send important members into the restricted area without enough intelligence. What's more, Liu Qingqing is not good at dealing with restricted areas.
Lu Zhan was silent for a moment and replied: "I will blame myself, but I will never regret it——"
"Death in the restricted area is the destination for people like us. If even the agents of the Bureau of Anti-Prohibition are afraid of dying in the restricted area, then the higher authorities might as well just ban the Bureau because it has no value."
Lu Zhan's words were righteous, his expression was solemn, and he looked like he didn't care about life and death. Even Jian Wugui couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
But in fact, despite what he said, Lu Zhan was really not worried that Liu Qingqing would be in danger.
No one at the scene knew that Liu Qingqing was carrying money to buy her life. She was very careful when checking the balance at the vending machine and was not caught by the camera on the death row prisoner. She also behaved normally and no one suspected her.
Lu Zhan repeatedly emphasized to Liu Qingqing the importance of buying life money and asked that it be kept confidential. Liu Qingqing firmly remembered this.
Although this guy was a bit nervous, he was still reliable at critical moments, so no one realized that her Paradise Coins were not negative.
In fact, what Lu Zhan just said was not all beautiful words, but he spoke his heart.
He really didn't like the way Dongyang City handled the restricted area. Every time, he had to trick a group of explorers into testing, and then send people to harvest the restricted area when the time was right. This sounded prudent at best, but lacked courage at worst.
This does not look like an official organization, but rather like a businessman who is always calculating.
The Bureau of Ban Removal should be on the front line of dealing with restricted areas, rather than using civilians as cannon fodder. Although those people are doing it for the huge bonus, which is something you and I are willing to do, this concept is really unacceptable to Lu Zhan.
Think about it, if one day the police need to ask the victim to find the suspect before handling the case, and even the chain of evidence has to be found by the victim, and they are only responsible for arresting, then what is the meaning of the police's existence?
Lu Zhan sighed inwardly and glanced at the only screen with a picture on it.
Now all the prisoners on death row have left is the prisoner, and everyone can only continue to observe the situation in the restricted area through his camera.
He thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Sir Xu, don't just talk about me. Can you explain what happened to the prisoner under your command? He seems to know Equality Paradise very well."
His tone was suspicious, as if he couldn't understand.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Xu Han one after another. This was also their concern——
The prisoner's abnormality is obvious to all.
Just by wandering around twice, you can analyze how to break the rules of Equality Paradise. This cannot be explained by using the excuse of high IQ.
Moreover, everyone has been paying attention to his whereabouts, and no clues related to the rules of Equality Paradise were found along the way. So...where did the prisoner's information come from?
As expected, the prisoners' information about Equality Paradise most likely comes from the outside world.
They don't know that the prisoners' understanding of Equality Paradise is achieved through the taboo sequence b-Black Henna Kiss, which actually comes from Equality Paradise itself.
Xu Han couldn't answer this question. Her face looked a little ugly, but she quickly recovered and took a deep breath and said: "I don't know, the prisoner's behavior is not significantly different from other prisoners, and he has not had any contact with the outside world.
"
As early as the moment when the prisoner showed abnormality, Xu Han had already asked people to investigate the prisoner's past information in detail and sent people to review all his recent actions. However, nothing unusual was found. The prisoner behaved like other death row inmates.
Not much different.
Including the process of sending prisoners to Equality Paradise, there is no possibility for prisoners to come into contact with suspicious persons.
Therefore, she was actually wondering why the prisoners knew so much about Equality Paradise. If she had known it earlier, would there be any need for people to test it?
"This prisoner may be an unstable factor..." Jian Wugui thought, "Is he a transcendent?"
"Yes, he is a C-level ability user." Xu Han replied.
"What is the ability?"
"It is an ability named 'bewitchment', which uses psychological suggestions to manipulate people's emotions."
Jian Wugui tapped the scabbard in his arms and said slowly: "Have you ever thought that the connection between prisoners and the outside world may not require direct contact, but is achieved through some kind of code or some ability?
?”
Xu Han thought about it carefully and felt that this possibility was unlikely. He frowned and said: "The extraordinary prison in Dongyang City is famous in the entire security zone. The restrictions on abilities may not be as high as those in Equality Paradise, but it is also impossible.
There is a situation where someone activates the ability without our knowledge...unless that person is S-class."
S-class extraordinary beings are not cabbage, and the chance of this is indeed very small.
She continued: "As for the possibility of using secret codes, the prison is strictly controlled and there are almost no opportunities for prisoners to gather together. When leaving the prison, all prisoners have all six senses blocked. Even if there are secret codes outside, they will not be able to see them."
No, and we saw everything the prisoner did in the penalty area and found no problem."
"What's more, the rules of Equality Paradise have just changed. Everything is unknown. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for anyone to know its information, let alone pass the correct information to the prisoners."
"These are indeed doubtful points..."
Jian Wugui stared slightly and said in a concluding tone, "In other words, if the prisoner wants to obtain information about Pingding Paradise, first of all, there must be someone who knows something about Pingding Paradise, and secondly, that person must also have the ability to operate in Pingding Paradise.
You appeared in front of the prisoners silently under your noses, right?"
"Yes, this is an impossible thing." Xu Han said firmly.
Everyone also found it quite bizarre.
At this moment, Xue Hongyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "The person who gave the prisoners the information about Pingding Paradise may not necessarily be a human being, but it may also be something else."
Judging from her slightly thoughtful tone, she seemed to have already made some assumptions.
Jian Wugui turned to look at her: "Red Fish, tell me your opinion."
Xue Hongyu's genius lies in her innate keen intuition about abnormal things. It seems that she may have noticed something.
"It is not difficult to pass on information, not to mention that it can be done with part of the taboo sequence, and there is another thing that can not only appear under our noses silently, but it also has information about Equality Paradise.
It’s not surprising to know.”
Seeing everyone's eyes turned to her, Xue Hongyu pushed up her glasses. She was not in a hurry to tell the answer, but asked: "I heard that a person from the Dongyang City Anti-Prohibition Bureau died not long ago, and he was a B-level extraordinary."
Who?"
"Um."
Xu Han actually didn't want to answer this question. After all, there were too many bad things today, and the impression left on the council was getting worse and worse. "The deceased's codename was Artist. The cause of death is still under investigation. His mouth was
Tear it off, this is very similar to the secret store's usual style, and it is suspected that it was attacked by the secret store."
etc……
Xu Han was suddenly stunned.
Secret shop...secret shop?!
Everyone suddenly realized what Xue Hongyu wanted to express - she suspected that the prisoner's information came from the secret store!
The secret store is a restricted area of activity, where the whereabouts are erratic, and it has the ability to appear in any place. The entry rules are unknown. Sometimes you can enter the secret store by just entering a door. It takes a very short time and is difficult to be detected by outsiders.
In addition, the Secret Shop claims to know any secret in the world, and it is not impossible to know the latest information about Equality Paradise.
Besides...
Since it is currently suspected that the secret store killed the artist, it means that the secret store may have appeared near Dongyang City recently, and it is entirely possible that it appeared in the prison.
If you think about it this way, it does seem to make sense. The secret store meets all the requirements for a real prisoner!
"We are still not sure whether the artist died at the hands of the secret shop, and we are mobilizing manpower to investigate, but this is indeed a direction." Xu Han thought.
He Shangze looked straight at Xue Hongyu, and even whistled, like a street gangster, with a smile on his face and said: "Miss Xue is really witty, we in Huangquan need you like this
Talent, I wonder if you are interested..."
Seeing Jian Wugui's cold gaze, he quickly closed his mouth.
Alas, it seems that I can no longer poach under the nose of the cheap turtle shield silently...
Lu Zhan said: "Assuming that this matter is really related to the secret store, the prisoner will definitely pay a certain price after trading with the secret store, and his death date has been determined, so he must have something in mind."
"Do you even need to say this?"
He Shang said lazily, "Death in your hands is death, but death in the hands of the secret shop is also death. What other plans does he have at the moment? He just wants to leave the prison."
Jian Wugui looked at Xu Han and asked, "Have you ever thought about why the prisoner dared to reveal his abnormality so openly?"
Xu Han did not answer. How could she not have thought that the prisoner was most likely planning to take advantage of this opportunity to escape from Dongyang City.
After a while, she shook her head and said: "Prisoners do not have the ability to escape."
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe someone is helping him? Even the artist's death may not be an accident, but to attract our attention," Lu Zhan said.
Xu Han said angrily: "Are you kidding? The secret store is a restricted area. How could it cooperate with a human to escape from prison? This is nonsense!"
This is clearly just random speculation.
"Hasn't it been determined whether the artist died at the hands of the secret shop?" Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jian Wugui didn't pay attention to the dispute between the two, but asked: "How many people have you deployed outside the Equality Paradise?"
Xu Han did not hide this, and said frankly: "Considering the abnormalities that the tombkeepers may bring, a total of two B-level extraordinarys, three C-level extraordinarys, and a 30-man tactical team were dispatched this time.
Team."
This lineup is already quite luxurious. If it weren't for the caveat guard, it would be impossible to guard a C-level restricted area. Under normal circumstances, it would be more than enough to stop prisoners and others.
After a moment of silence, Yang Buwei suddenly said: "If something unexpected happens to the prisoner by then, I can make the decision and ask Director Sword to help you capture the prisoner."
Xu Han was stunned. The people coming from the council had always expressed displeasure with Dongyang City's many practices. He didn't expect Yang Buwei to want to help him.
"Thank you, Congressman Yang."
With Jian Wugui's help, the prisoner cannot escape even if he has wings.
"Don't thank me in a hurry. Please tell me first, what crime did the prisoner commit?"
Yang Buwei stared into Xu Han's eyes and saw that if the prisoner really wanted to escape, it was not enough to just understand Equality Paradise. It could only guarantee survival in the restricted area, but it could not guarantee that he would be able to leave the restricted area.
Therefore, there must be someone outside who is coordinating it, and if that is the case, the identity and value of such a guy who makes people willing to take risks to help him escape from prison are definitely extraordinary.
Gee, there are really a lot of problems in Dongyang City...
Xu Han said: "I have said before, the prisoner killed someone..."
"Who did you kill?" Jian Wugui interrupted her.
The atmosphere in the monitoring room suddenly became stagnant.
After a moment of silence, Xu Han shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Don't know?" Jian Wugui raised his eyebrows and said, "The arrest of extraordinary people should be the responsibility of the Anti-Prohibition Bureau. As the head of the Anti-Prohibition Bureau, you don't know that the prisoners on death row killed
Who is it?"
"I really don't know."
Faced with Jian Wugui's questioning, Xu Han thought for a while and decided to tell the truth. She didn't want to continue to take the blame for some guys.
"The prisoner's arrest order was issued directly by a member of the chamber. I only acted according to the order. However, when we found the prisoner, he was indeed killing people and was found guilty."
"Which councilor gave the order?"
"I don't know." Xu Han still shook his head, "This is not the first time that a similar order has appeared. We have never asked about it, because there is no result if we ask. Even the list of death row prisoners sent to Equality Paradise this time has been blocked.
Modifications above."
Yang Buwei asked: "Whose idea was it for the prisoners to appear in the restricted area?"
"He was not on the original list..."
"It means that someone modified the list and included prisoners among the candidates to explore the restricted area?"
"Yes, maybe it's to use the restricted area to kill him completely and avoid future troubles."
Lu Zhan shook his head, his face slightly condensed: "Maybe it's to create an opportunity for him to leave."
Xu Han suddenly looked at him. Although this guy was always against him, this guess seemed not unreasonable...
If the prisoner remains in the prison, given the state of defense of Dongyang City Prison, he will have absolutely no chance of escaping unless someone can knock down the entire Dongyang City.
Jian Wugui was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed.
"Interesting, your Dongyang City is so interesting. The Forbidden Exclusion Bureau doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary people, nor does it care about restricted areas, but it is happy to become a tool in the hands of the higher-ups... Do you know that you guys remind me of the decadent imperial court in the past."
As he spoke, the breath on his body became colder and colder, and the overwhelming momentum came over him, making Xu Han unable to breathe——
This is the pressure that belongs to an S-class transcendent.
In a sense, such an existence can no longer be defined by humans.
He Shang, who was sitting on the sofa, touched his bald head and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I'm a bitch, your council still needs to learn more from our Huangquan when it comes to management. These urban areas are in a state of smog.
You must know that this kind of situation will never happen in our Huangquan..."
His laughter soon stopped, because Jian Wugui was looking at him with a cold look.
He smiled coquettishly and stopped talking. He just muttered to himself: "I'm just telling the truth. What are those vicious people doing..."
Jian Wugui ignored him and Xu Han, but said: "After the matter of Pingping Paradise is resolved, I will personally visit the councilors in Dongyang City who I have never met."
Everyone could see that the director of the parliamentary adjudication department, whose hands were stained with blood, was angry, and they did not dare to express their anger for fear of touching his brow.
If something hadn't happened, this guy might have rushed towards City No. 1 with his sword in its scabbard.
Everyone looked at the screen and suddenly froze.
Only then did they realize that the reason why Jian Wugui could "not care" for the time being, besides his calm temperament, was also because he was attracted by the pictures on the screen.
