Chapter 458 An Accidental Inspection

Da da da--

A patrol team of three dwarf prison guards conducted a thorough search of other areas not far from District 18.

There are now hundreds of patrol squads like theirs in the Demon Prison, carrying out Captain Ryan's orders.

After all, the disappearance of a serious criminal is of great significance.

Either there was a mole among them who helped them move the goods, or the hardened criminals have mastered some way to overcome the "cage magnetic field".

Whatever the reason, it must be taken seriously.

Captain Ryan and the elf Legolas were arguing all the way to the warden's office.

But I did think about this issue along the way.

From his perspective, the widow was a prison guard who came from Heaven Prison to help with an undercover mission. Judging from her previous performance, this guy had almost no understanding of Demon Prison, and naturally had no time to study the loopholes in the [Cage Magnetic Field].

Moreover, as an undercover agent, there's no need for him to risk exposing his method of breaking the [Prison Magnetic Field] by hiding from me!
She even gave him the key to the storage room, and made it clear in the office that she was on his side.

Therefore, there is only one possibility now—

There is a mole among the prison guards.

The mole learned of the widow's feat of mining memory ore and wanted to take advantage of the [Prison Magnetic Field] to hide her or even escape her from here while she was unable to resist!

Damn it, the warden had just asked him to help the widow capture the "Doomsday Prophet," and the next thing he knew, he'd been kidnapped.

How could Captain Ryan not be angry about something like this?

But the prison guards under his command were unaware of the truth.

In their view, this was just a simple accident.

They couldn't understand the intricacies involved.

"If you ask me, the captain is just too nervous." One of the patrol team members searching said helplessly, "No matter what, the other party is just one person. There are so many prison guards in the prison. Do you think we can let him get away?"

boom--

No sooner had he finished speaking than a strange impact sound came from ahead.

Although they said not to be nervous, these prison guards still demonstrated basic professional competence in the face of unexpected situations.

The three immediately formed a line and became alert, slowly approaching the source of the sound.

After walking a few steps, they came to a corner and saw a figure jumping up and down not far away, seemingly trying to avoid something.

Strangely, the spot where the figure jumped and dodged would immediately cave in the moment it left.

It seems there really is something unseen causing the destruction.

This scene caused the dwarf prison guard's pupils to shrink slightly.

None of the three dared to go over.

They were unaware of the giant prison guard's true identity.

However, they knew that when they took on this job, they had to memorize a training manual, also known as the "Prison Guard Rules".

The instructions from above are clear—

When lights out occurs in the prison, especially near special cells, do not panic if you see any other creatures wearing prison guard uniforms or anything unseen but real. It is part of the prison's defense mechanism, and following it will lead it to the inmate in question.

However, if you discover that such an entity is attacking a criminal, please keep your distance. You can provide remote support if necessary, as the danger level of the target will be increased to the highest level.

After remembering this rule, the three dwarfs looked at each other in bewilderment.

Without any hesitation, they simultaneously pointed their guns at the man who was dodging and weaving.

Pull the trigger, and a burst of sparks erupts.

bang-bang-bang-

The three bullets seemed to have eyes, accurately locking onto the target no matter how its position changed.

In the blink of an eye, three bloody holes were ripped into the body of the man who was dodging.

Seeing that he had lost the ability to move, the dwarf squad quickly approached to arrest him.

However, before they could even show a hint of joy when they actually saw the person lying on the ground, they felt a powerful gust of wind from a punch whistling past them.

The next second, the man's head on the ground was smashed.

Even more bizarrely, the corpse vanished on the spot like gas after being blown off its head.

"This...this guy is a serious criminal?"

"I think so too, looking at that face."

"Report this to the captain."

The figure the three discovered was none other than Wu Wang's clone, which the little black boy had previously dispersed using the [Seven Star Steps of Heavenly Gang].

This is why you might see someone disappear into thin air after being killed.

Meanwhile, the dwarf squads conducting search missions elsewhere in the prison also discovered the same situation.

When this information reached Captain Ryan's ears.

He became even more convinced that there was a mole planning to kidnap the widow.

Otherwise, where did these fake bodies come from?

Every criminal entering the Demon Prison from the outside undergoes rigorous screening, making it absolutely impossible for a fake identity to infiltrate.

In other words, these fake identities came from inside the prison.

This is a tactic used by the mole to mislead himself!
Where inside the prison could such a thing be produced?
Captain Ryan's gaze toward the elf Legolas grew increasingly sharp.

The other party was still arguing incessantly about the right to know.

He suddenly raised the gun in his hand.

He pointed the dark muzzle of the gun at the head of the slightly pale-faced elf.

He said coldly, "Legolas, I remember you have people under you who specialize in researching clones, right?"

"You heard the report on the walkie-talkie just now, what do you think?"

Faced with the menacing muzzle of the gun, the elf Legolas trembled with rage.

He wanted to rebuke the other person for daring to point a gun at him.

But things have developed beyond expectations, and I can't refute anything now.

Moreover... I can't withstand scrutiny.

Legolas's gaze turned somewhat gloomy.

He definitely has a problem.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have known that the widow was an undercover prison guard.

This matter should have been known only to the warden and Captain Ryan.

Of course, this only refers to the Demon Prison.

In fact, there were other people who knew the widow's undercover identity.

For example—his superior from Paradise Prison, who sent him there.

Yes, this was the information that Heaven's Prison revealed to Legolas.

They lent the widows to the Devil's Prison with almost no special requests.

After all, it's not certain whether a widow can survive such a mission.

It's worth noting that when the "Doomsday Prophet" escaped from the mortal prison, it resulted in the deaths of hundreds of prison guards.

Someone as dull-witted as the widow would probably be exposed and eliminated very quickly if she were to go undercover.

Unexpectedly, he has now displayed such extraordinary talent.

At this point, Heaven Prison wanted to back out.

They knew that the Demon Prison would definitely want to keep the widow as a talent to accelerate the research process of the memory ore.

They want to take this opportunity to make more demands, even regarding the conditions for sharing research findings.

But the superiors at Heaven Prison also knew that Demon Prison was definitely unwilling to return the widow to them now.

In situations like this, the only option is to find a way to steal the person out first.

The transaction will proceed only after both parties reach a new consensus.

So, the Heavenly Prison offered Legolas such exorbitant terms that he could not refuse them.

Ask them to find a way to get the widow out first.

Everything was planned perfectly.

Legolas also had his own informants among the criminals, namely the two people whose identities were used by the Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Deficiency.

He wanted the two of them to put on a show, pretending to help a widow trapped in a special room escape.

Once he's brought to the research lab, there's naturally a way to forcibly send him away.

Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn from the very beginning.

He didn't know how the widow had managed to escape on her own, nor how the light bulbs in the corridor had been broken, and he certainly didn't expect Captain Ryan to react so quickly and bump into him.

Of course, the most unexpected thing was that a third party actually wanted to kidnap the widow!?

Now, by sheer accident, the widow has escaped the supervision of everyone in the Demon Prison.

Even Captain Ryan was starting to suspect him. Damn it! What kind of situation is this?!

The immediate priority is no longer the reward from Paradise Prison.

Let's figure out how to clear ourselves of suspicion first.

Legolas then suggested that he could take Captain Ryan to the research lab for an inspection.

He also swore that the fake bodies of those serious criminals had nothing to do with the cloning technology of his researchers.

And so, the two turned and headed toward the elf research lab.

This stretch of road is quite long.

When they arrived, all the elf researchers had already distributed the memory ore outside and returned to their project teams with their spoils to begin working in earnest.

When the dwarf prison guards outside the research room saw their captain arrive, they all straightened their backs and stood at attention, looking like they were on guard duty.

Just as he was about to salute and greet them, Captain Ryan waved him off and asked:
"I'm asking you, was there anything unusual near the lab tonight? Or were there any people who left and never returned?"

The dwarf prison guards frowned at this.

He then shook his head, indicating that apart from Legolas, who was currently following behind the captain, he had not seen any other elves or personnel leave.

This made Captain Ryan frown, somewhat puzzled.

That shouldn't be the case... If such a large number of fake bodies really left from the research lab, my men aren't blind!
How could I not have noticed at all?

So he decided to go and take another look at the clones.

Before Legolas could even offer to lead the way, Captain Ryan stopped an elf who had covered a small cart with a white cloth.

He asked, "Where is Alice's project laboratory?"

The elf who was stopped saw that his leader was also following behind Ryan, so he had no choice but to tell the truth about the female elf's location.

Just as he was about to leave, Ryan suddenly stopped.

Pointing to the white cloth on the elf cart, he said, "Clean these things up properly. Don't let me find out that there's an infectious disease outbreak in the prison, or I'll shoot you dead."

The research lab also needs to conduct live experiments from time to time, such as having criminals directly absorb memory ore to observe their reactions, or even interpreting the memory content contained in the ore.

Therefore, the mortality rate of criminals sent here is extremely high.

Furthermore, the deaths of these criminals are usually very gruesome, not just sudden deaths, but their bodies may even undergo some degree of mutation.

Ryan could smell the rotting odor from under the cart from a distance; it was clearly the corpse of a criminal who had died because of the memory ore.

"Okay, okay." Although the male elf usually looked down on dwarves, Ryan was, after all, the leader of the dwarven prison guards.

In this demonic prison, his status was second only to the warden, and he was on par with his own elven patriarch, Legolas.

Therefore, the other elves behaved very well in front of Ryan.

However, watching Ryan and Legolas walk further and further away...

The male elf's expression gradually turned cold.

I glanced at the white cloth on the cart and could vaguely see the criminal's body through the gaps.

But what's strange is that the corpse, which clearly reeks of decay, has unusually clean, white skin.

call--

Upon closer inspection, one could even see the corpse breathing slightly, as if it were merely asleep or unconscious.

What's most intriguing is that the corpse had pointed ears.

She is an elf!
After covering the criminal's body with the white cloth even more tightly, the male elf did not take it to the place where the criminal's body was disposed of. Instead, he pulled a small cart and took it to his project team.

After all, the female elves here cannot be discovered by others.

You'd better hide it well...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Arrive outside Alice's laboratory.

Legolas stepped forward and unlocked it with a fingerprint.

As the leader of this group of elf researchers, he naturally had the right to open the doors of all the elf laboratories.

Hereby——

As the door slowly opened.

A female elf sat in front of the control panel, her face slightly pale, and she held her forehead.

Hearing the noise, he could only barely turn his head.

Her voice was weak as she said, "Why did you come here..."

Clearly, she was talking to Legolas and completely oblivious to Ryan standing behind him.

Well, it's also possible that they didn't see it at all.

“I came with Captain Ryan to check some things. You can rest,” Legolas said with a dark face.

Before he could finish speaking, Ryan had already started wandering around the lab on his own.

They would occasionally stop in front of some culture chambers to check something.

It's clear they've stopped taking him seriously.

However, after going around in circles...

Ryan didn't seem to see anything unusual either.

Each clone of the little black boy floated peacefully in the incubation chamber, as if waiting for someone to awaken him.

The only thing that made Ryan feel uneasy was that there were a lot of empty culture chambers.

There are about seven empty culture chambers in this laboratory.

It was exactly the same number as the number of fake bodies of the widow outside.

So he walked up to the female elf and knocked on the table.

Pointing to the empty culture chamber next to him, he asked, "Where are the clones inside?"

To this, the female elf slowly said, "She was experimenting and got blown up."

boom--

Ryan punched the table, leaving a perfectly fitting fist-shaped dent.

He cursed and said, "Bullshit! You better tell the truth! You think I'd believe you with just a simple 'exploded' statement?"

Even Legolas, standing nearby, couldn't stand the dwarf's volatile temper.

He stepped forward and shielded the female elf behind him.

Pointing his finger at Ryan's nose, he said menacingly, "Put your hands off the table, you uncouth dwarf! Do you know how sophisticated this control panel is? How much effort would it take to repair it if you broke it with your fist? And don't treat my elves like you're interrogating criminals. You only suspect them, you're not convicting them!"

Ryan stared at Legolas's face for a few seconds.

Finally, he slowly loosened his fist.

He said calmly, "But she still needs to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will still suspect that your cloning technology is mature enough to use the simulation ability of the [Soul Reaper] and to create fake bodies of serious criminals."

The tension between the two was escalating.

The female elf Alice pointed to the recording equipment not far away and said:

"This record documented the experimental process and is sufficient to prove that I have not yet made any further breakthroughs in controlling demon clones."

Ryan, with a dark expression, took the equipment and began to examine it.

Although dwarves are not good at using sophisticated instruments, they have no problem with this kind of simple recording device.

Watching the experimental process.

Especially during the simulation of body shape and aura, there is a scene of the clone expanding to the point of exploding in the incubation chamber.

His furrowed brow remained furrowed.

not right...

Something still feels off...

After a moment of contemplation, Ryan said, "This device can be used even by non-elves, right? Let me try it myself."

Faced with this request, the female elf merely showed a disdainful expression and said, "Your mental strength is probably..."

"Put away your haughty elfin air, woman," Ryan interrupted coldly. "My mental strength is far superior to yours."

Legolas, standing nearby, shrugged.

Indeed, he had to admit that Ryan was very strong.

The current chieftain of the dwarves, and the head of the prison guards in the Demon Prison, is extraordinary in both physical and mental strength.

However, just as he was about to nod and let Alice prepare the experimental patches.

Ryan's walkie-talkie rang.

sizzle-

"Captain, we've found the serious offender."

"But... his condition is very strange."
