My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 251 Warden

The warden's office is in the small black and red building next to the prison.

Jiang Chen followed Parker along the road paved with red carpet until they arrived in front of the small red door.

The door opened, and Jiang Chen saw a middle-aged man with a mustache sitting in front of an old-fashioned record player, putting a record on it.

There was no power, but the record still started turning and melodious music played.

It's Blue Star's music.

The middle-aged man with a mustache was immersed in the music, waving his hands gently as if he was conducting something.

Parker led Jiang Chen and stood beside them, motionless.

After a while, the music ended.

The middle-aged man took down the record and said, "I like your planet. Although I don't have much ability, I am indeed very talented in artistic creation. Oh, this is something from the Blue Planet. A useless prisoner gave it to me. He failed to escape within the time limit, so he gave me this... I let him go."

Then he turned and looked at Jiang Chen, smiling. The small mustache at the corner of his mouth twisted wildly, forming an S shape, and then returned to normal.

Pointing to the red chair in the middle, he said, "Sit down, young man."

He went to his desk and sat down.

Jiang Chen walked over and sat down: "Hello, Mr. Warden."

"You can call me Bloody Hand."

"Okay, Mr. Blood Hand." Jiang Chen couldn't help but think of the black heart of the guide.

Your two names really match each other.

Bloody Hand waved his hand, and Parker stepped back, closing the door.

Bloody Hand said: "Do you know why I called you here?"

"Because of my behavior yesterday?"

Bloody Hand chuckled, "It is inevitable to escape from prison here. It happens almost every day. Although there will be punishment for failed escapes, as long as there is not much damage, the punishment will not be too severe. At most, you will suffer a little, and the infirmary can provide free treatment. Therefore, many people who have taken the precepts like to come to the Fateful Prison, because this is a rare place where they can complete tasks without paying the price of their lives. This means that their biggest gain from this mission is... extra lives!"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, I feel it. This mission is not bad. It is easy and simple. The risk of death is small. At most, it will take a little more time."

"That's right." Bloody Hand smiled, "But a small risk of death doesn't mean there will be no death. If someone does something that makes me unhappy, I still don't mind taking one, two... or even all of his lives."

"Sounds like I've upset you?"

Bloody Hands spread his hands and said, "Would you like it if your guests ran around your home, or even your bedroom, without permission?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "I don't like it."

Bloody Hand smiled, "That's right. So how about we make a deal? I know you have the ability to leave here, and I don't intend to embarrass you. If you ever want to leave, tell me, and I will have the people below turn a blind eye and follow the procedures, and you can easily complete the prison escape mission."

Jiang Chen thought about it and asked, "Does this conform to the rules?"

Bloody Hand laughed and said, "There are loopholes in the rules, right? No matter what, I hold the highest authority here, and I decide everything! I am God! And if you don't obey, I don't mind letting you feel the majesty of God!"

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Warden, do you know that there is a biggest problem with your request?"

Bloodhand was slightly startled: "What?"

Jiang Chen replied: "You only told me that I could escape from prison safely, but you didn't tell me what I couldn't do. Mr. Warden, if you don't want me to violate your taboos, shouldn't you tell me first what I did to make you unhappy? Is it because I don't want to escape from prison?"

Bloody Hand's face darkened. "I thought I had made myself clear. No host would like guests to roam around in their bedroom."

Jiang Chen spread his hands: "But you didn't tell me where your dormitory is." "You damn bastard!" Bloody Hand grabbed Jiang Chen's collar and roared: "Are you provoking me? Do you think I don't know what you are planning? I told you where you can't go, and you know where you must go? You actually want to use me in reverse? Do I look like an idiot?"

When he was angry, Jiang Chen seemed to see a sea of ​​blood surging out of his body, almost swallowing him up.

That terrifying power seemed to devour everything.

This is a being at least above level twelve!
Jiang Chen just smiled and said, "No, Your Excellency the Warden, you think we are idiots."

what?
Bloody Hand was slightly startled.

Jiang Chen patted his fat hand lightly, signaling him to let go.

He said slowly, "The Fate Prison is an independent space. Usually the missions in such an independent space are fixed. And what is the mission we have received? Free exploration!"

Upon hearing this word, Blood Hand's expression suddenly changed.

Jiang Chen's eyes had turned cold: "The mission was very clear from the beginning, which was free exploration. But how did you tell us? You said our mission was to escape from prison!"

Jiang Chen laughed loudly. "The biggest difference between this mission and the previous ones is that there are almost no hints, so the definition of the term free exploration is very vague. The worst thing is that people have fixed mindsets. If a group of people are thrown into a prison, almost everyone's instinct will be: this mission is to escape from prison! Especially when we just arrived, you said that our mission is to escape from this prison. You spoke while we were thinking about the mission, gave our mission an annotation, and distorted the mission requirements!"

Bloody Hand slowly loosened his hand and looked at Jiang Chen with cold eyes.

Jiang Chen spread his hands: "Some things don't need to be too complicated. The matter is very simple. Our mission is either to escape the prison or to explore the prison! It's just that because the mission has no time limit and no way to leave, you have the opportunity to take advantage of it. But in the past two days, your reaction has been abnormal... Especially when I went to the infirmary. It was you who asked Jenny to sleep with me, right? You wanted to use her to hold me back."

Jiang Chen continued, "You lied to everyone and made them focus on leaving here. You also gave them jobs so that they could leave here in an easier way...but you didn't know that those jobs themselves also restricted their range of activities in the prison. Everything you did was to prevent us from exploring this prison! Then, I disappointed you. For two consecutive nights, I left my cell, but I didn't escape. Instead, I went sightseeing around in this prison. I was completing my mission, and you couldn't punish me. You could only find ways to stop me. I wasn't sure about this at first, but after you called me over and encouraged me to escape easily, I confirmed it!"

Jiang Chen chuckled as he spoke: "Wow, what a perfect lie. First create a direction, and then help us realize it. I guess most people were fooled by you, but there will always be people who won't be fooled."

After Jiang Chen gained something in the supermarket yesterday, he received a system prompt: "You have completed the basic task and can request to leave at any time."

This in itself is the greatest proof.

Hearing this, Bloodhand sneered and sat back in his seat, smoking a cigar and said slowly: "As you said, there will always be people who won't be fooled. But this doesn't mean that I don't have a way to deal with these people."

He stared at Jiang Chen: "Young man, you are very smart. You originally had a simple and quick way to complete the task... Although the gain was not great, at least you gained precious lives. But you insisted on choosing a dangerous path, which will cost you a huge price! I hope you understand that life is precious and the number of times is limited!"

Jiang Chen asked back: "Why do you think I can kill a fourth-level master as a third-level master? Because I always choose the safest path?"

"So, there's nothing to talk about?"

Jiang Chen replied: "I can regard your warning as a necessary obstacle to the mission, so I won't hate you. As long as you act within the scope of the rules, no matter how you treat me, I will accept my fate calmly."

As he said this, he stood up and looked up at the ceiling.

On the hanging board, a black cat was crawling there, its green eyes staring at him coldly.

Then he just walked out.

As Jiang Chen left, the hanging black cat landed lightly on the desk.

It made a human sound: "He saw it."

Bloody Hand stood respectfully in front of the black cat: "Yes, Your Excellency the Warden."

"I'm not talking about the truth of the mission, I'm talking about my identity, you idiot." The black cat stared at Bloody Hand with green eyes: "Keep an eye on him, don't let him run around in my house anymore."

Bloody Hand was stunned: "Sir Warden, we cannot violate the mission rules."

“But we can bypass it, right?” Black Cat chuckled, “Go tell those guys in the Level 5 cell that as long as they stop this troublesome bastard, I will help them get out of prison early... but remember, don’t kill him.”
