Chapter 188 The first batch of prisoners (two in one)
There is no doubt that Caractacus Bock is a shrewd businessman. But it is difficult for a shrewd businessman to be a kind person. The greed of businessmen will make them do many things that violate human moral concepts.
For example, when Tom Riddle's mother Merope came to his shop to sell a locket, he actually bought the locket from Merope for only ten galleons.
This is Slytherin’s only relic! Items of the same level as Gryffindor’s Sword, Ravenclaw’s Diadem, and Hufflepuff’s Gold Cup actually only sold for ten galleons! The gems on the locket alone cost
It’s not just this price! The deal with Bok took advantage of Merope’s ignorance and poverty. Moreover, he took advantage of it - Merope was poor and sick at the time, and was still pregnant with Riddle, so Bok was able to do so cruelly.
To deceive such a person with such determination shows his character. It is no wonder that Bo Jin, his old friend for decades, directly chose to betray him when faced with danger.
Some time later, Bork resold the locket to Hepzibah Smith, a descendant of Hufflepuff. Bork made a large sum of money while reselling the locket, but he did not sell it until
, did not know the importance of this special heirloom, and was just complacent about making money.
He showed off this good deal to Bojin, and Bojin, who was more professional, discovered the problem after only listening to a few words. After carefully asking about the appearance of the locket, Bojin realized that it might be the legendary Si.
Letling Locket! When he learned that this locket had been sold by his partner, Bo Jin was so angry that he almost vomited blood. From then on, he never trusted Bo Ke's professional ability again.
"Sir, you see, this is the Hand of Glory, this is the Eye of Curse..." Bo Jin, while thinking about Bok's pitiful fate in his mind, introduced the origins of the treasures he brought to Tom one by one.
Every time he takes out an alchemical item, he will explain its name, function, and negative effects.
"To use the Cursed Eye, you need to dig out the original eyeball and then install it in the vacant eye socket, so that you can gain the ability to see through it. It is said that ordinary masonry structures cannot block the prying eyes of the Cursed Eye," Bo Jin
He took out the glass eyeball that was previously placed with the Hand of Glory, stuffed it into a separate glass box, and placed it on a shelf.
"But its negative effects are also very alarming, that is, it will absorb a large amount of nutrients in the human body, gradually reject the user's body, and eventually fall off directly... The more blood stains on it, it means that the more people have used it, the easier it is to cause
Repulsion - but the shorter the stay time, the less damage to the body, which is a plus." After talking about the function of the Cursed Eye, Bojin added its outrageous side effects.
Tom finally understood that this glass eyeball was probably equivalent to a low-end version of Moody's Magic Eye. However, the side effects of this cursed eye seemed to him to be a rejection reaction.
The Cursed Eye may be the same as Moody's Magic Eye at first, but each owner will leave some traces of use on it. Over time, this eye will eventually become increasingly mismatched with the wizard's body.
Such a ghostly look.
Moody's eye will probably be in this state dozens or hundreds of years later, right? Tom thought in his heart that he just didn't know what the relationship between Moody's eye and the so-called cursed eye was.
While Tom and Mr. Borgin were discussing with great interest the magical powers of the alchemical creations he collected, Peter came outside the storeroom and knocked on the door.
"Boss, a new boatload of prisoners has arrived."
"Oh?" Tom became interested. Can a prison without prisoners still be called a prison? Only with enough prisoners can the prison operate normally.
"Let's go and take a look!" He left Borgin in the storage room and continued to pack the collection, while he went to observe the prisoners.
White Dolphin Prison is a very special prison. Tom has stated from the beginning that it only accepts prisoners with sentences of more than thirty years. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that all the people on this ship are evil people.
Tom stood at the highest point of the prison, overlooking the group of prisoners being escorted over. The sea breeze was blowing his hair. Behind him, one dementor after another was floating in the sky. Wizards always believed that dementors were
There is no emotion, which is actually wrong. After the fresh ingredients arrived, Tom could feel the emotion similar to joy in the hearts of the dementors.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Tom's mouth
…
The boat that came over was not big, similar to the size of the bus boats commonly seen in Venice. One boat could only carry fifty passengers. The structure of the boat was not complicated, with only two floors, the lower floor was the cabin where prisoners were held, and the upper floor was
The driver's cab and the guards guarding the prisoners. There are rows of old-fashioned wooden benches in the cabin, and two female prisoners are cuffed on each bench, one on the left and one on the right. These thirty prisoners were the first batch to be sent to White Dolphin Prison.
of serious criminals.
The windows of the cabin were opened very low, only less than half a meter higher than the sea level. The waves kept beating on the windows, leaving patches of yellow foam.
The ship was heaving in the waves, and the prisoners on the bumpy ship were dizzy. A prisoner sitting in the back row couldn't hold it back and vomited it out. Suddenly, the entire cabin was filled with a sour smell. Here
Guided by the smell, like collapsing dominoes, the prisoners on the ship emptied their stomachs one by one.
The whole cabin was like hell.
The guard guarding them frowned, covered his nose and walked to the window, opened it, and the fresh sea breeze blew in, which improved the air quality in the cabin a little. However, after opening the window, the waves outside also
They rushed in overwhelmingly and beat several prisoners locked by the window into drowned rats.
A wave hit a blond female prisoner with a ponytail on the face accurately, knocking her breath away.
puff!
She spat out the bitter sea water in her mouth, and then worked hard to blow out the water from her nose.
"FXXK!" she cursed, "Can't you choose a normal prison? You have to go to the White Dolphin—"
"Because we are serious criminals," the female prisoner sitting next to her said back to her, "If you were only sentenced to more than ten years, you would not be sent here."
She glanced at the people around her and said, "The prisoners here are all sentenced to at least thirty years. What is your crime? How many years?"
"Kill. No time limit." The blond ponytail girl answered briefly.
"Oh? That's awesome!" The prisoner sitting next to her raised her eyebrows. At this moment, she even had a hint of respect for the blonde girl: She was sentenced to life imprisonment, how much blood is on her hands!
"Aimes." She said her name.
"Villanelle." The blonde responded.
The ship arrived. The guards took the prisoners out one by one with guns and asked them to form a line on the beach. Villanelle was lined up just behind Ames.
"Peter, Captain of the White Dolphin Prison Guard." As the representative of the prison, Peter handed over to the escorting guard.
"Hello, Peter, I'm Eve, I work for MI5." The person representing the government was a middle-aged woman, who took the initiative to step forward and shook Peter's hand.
"MI5?" Peter frowned. He didn't understand why this prison attracted agents from MI5. Peter knew that MI5 was composed of six branches, each of which was responsible for specific responsibilities in dealing with terrorism.
, espionage activities and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and other threats.
But what does this have to do with this prison? They don't think we are a spy agency, do they? Peter thought about it and suddenly felt that MI5's suspicion was quite reasonable. This prison looked very suspicious!
"I'm not an agent," Eve said, as if she had read Peter's mind. "My job is to inspect this prison and make sure it is safe enough to become a prison for serious offenders. At the same time, I also have to supervise you and ensure that
The human rights of prisoners are protected and there are no illegal activities inside the prison."
Eve said it very tactfully, but the meaning behind her words was also very clear: some people in the government did not trust the operational capabilities of White Dolphin Prison, and at the same time they also suspected that they had ulterior motives, thinking that they wanted to use the prison as a cover to do some illegal activities.
For example, harvesting organs, conducting experiments that violate human ethics, etc.
As for spies... MI5 has really not considered this issue. It is not because the British intelligence system is so bad that it does not need protection, but because Russia is currently in a period of contraction, and the head of the intelligence agency believes that the Russians do not have the strength to do something like this.
Such a generous move. In addition, Yuri followed the path of Sir Arnold and was considered reliable. Therefore, some people within the government doubted his professional ability, and some doubted his moral standards, but no one really doubted his position.
"We can accept all scrutiny." Peter shrugged, "No prison is more concerned about human rights than here. To be honest, I think we pamper these prisoners too much - there is no forced labor at all, and they are equipped with complete libraries
There are prisons, lounges, infirmaries, and even priests. Normally, we prison guards will not come into contact with the prisoners. The two are completely isolated. Except that the prisoners must wear handcuffs and shackles 24 hours a day, there are almost no restrictions..."
"Then I have to doubt your purpose of opening such a prison." Eve was surprised when she heard this. She didn't understand why a private prison would choose this management method. According to this method,
There is no doubt that prisons lose money.
"Could it be that the owner of this prison wants to enter the political arena in this way? There is quite a market for this kind of 'human rights' prison among liberal voters..." Eve felt that she had discovered the truth. In recent years, the domestic Madonna
More and more, politicians have also undergone subtle changes. Some people suddenly began to call for equal rights, or became interested in environmental protection, animal protection and other causes. [Note]
Eve instinctively felt that something was wrong with this, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong - after all, they seemed to insist on a good thing. Fortunately, there are still a few politicians like this. The boss of this prison is probably the first
A person who dares to eat tomatoes.
The two started chatting like this.
The team shortened little by little.
Villanelle and Ames followed the team step by step. Soon they entered the prison.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but they felt that the temperature dropped several degrees after entering the prison.
As a rule, prisoners must be searched when entering prison, and White Dolphin Prison is no exception. Villanelle was taken to a small room, where two very beautiful blond female prison guards were standing inside, waiting to search the newly arrived prisoners.
Villanelle raised her eyebrows: I didn't expect the guards in this prison to be so good-looking.
"From today on, your previous name has nothing to do with you. Your name in this prison is M013. You'd better keep this code name firmly in your mind!" the female prison guard on the left said loudly, her
The voice was as melodious and melodious as a nightingale, but there was a strong whiff of fur in the accent, "Now M013, put all the items you carry on you into this tray!"
She placed a plastic basket on the table aside with a serious expression.
"Oh, Russians?" Villanelle ignored the prison guard's order, but looked at the two prison guards, "I particularly like Russian girls. My ex-girlfriend is Russian, but her hair is -
—”
"Sukabule!" The policewoman who was standing on the right and had been very quiet pulled out her baton and hit Villanelle on the shoulder. Villanelle was caught off guard and knocked to the ground.
"My friend's English is not very good, so she is an activist." The female prison guard on the left smiled sarcastically, "Put the things in the tray, and then put the clothes away, which means don't even leave them!"
"Wow, I think I should say my safe word..." Villanelle winked at her, but when she saw both of their hands on the batons at their waists, she immediately calmed down.
, quickly took off all his clothes.
"What's next? Should I face up? Or can I just put my hands on the ground?" She swayed and struck a very enchanting pose.
The two Mao girls looked at each other, and then sighed at the same time. The Mao girl who spoke English took a rubber glove from the table on one side and put it on her hand.
"Gift crab!" Villanelle felt that all the muscles in her body were tense.
"Don't move." The prison guard said seriously.
"Well, there is no entrainment."
"." The prison guard is like an emotionless inspection machine.
Villanelle:!
"!"

4K big chapter!!! In fact, there shouldn’t be only two chapters yesterday, and I posted them too late today. Mainly because the content of this chapter is not easy to break into chapters, so I thought of posting them together.
I continue to code!
Note: If you want to express the idea of "the first person to eat crab" in English, you need the sentence "first person to try tomato", because in the past, the West thought that tomato fruits were poisonous because of their red appearance.
of.
I always feel like this chapter could be rewritten into something weird...
