"00193, this kid is new here today, take him for a spin."
"Yes, sir." 00193 responded with a casual salute.
The officer turned around and left, 00193 said to the newcomer: "Is this your first time on Hell Island?"
"Yes... yes, sir, I am a private..." The man was about to say his name.
00193 interrupted: "You don't need to state your name and rank. Remember, you are on duty here. You don't need to mention this to anyone you meet in the future. Have you seen the uniform? You and I are on the same level. We only recognize numbers and clothes here. You can Call me 00193, or buddy, buddy, whatever. Just don’t mention your name, let alone let the prisoners know your name. As long as you stay on Hell Island for one day, you will be 0 ""You have to call yourself 01055 even when you talk in your sleep."
01055 said: "Yes, I understand."
"Put on your helmet and follow me." 00193 said.
01055 complied and followed 00193.
00193 said as he walked: "The Human Resources Department must have explained it to you before coming here, but I would like to reiterate some of the issues. There is a three-month shift here. Food and accommodation are not allowed to leave the island. Of course, there are no conditions for you to leave the island. The food is better than that of prisoners. It's good, but not much better. You are on duty 12 hours a day. The specific work of the day will be refreshed on the information board in your room, and you can also check it through the display screen in the helmet.
The uniforms provided to us are high-precision instruments. Pupils, fingerprints, voiceprints, DNA, everything that can be verified will be verified. Even if the prisoner snatches it away, it cannot be activated. It is a mecha combat uniform worn by the prison guard. If the prisoner wears it, It will become a restraint device. This uniform will be with you for three months. If you find any fault, go to the maintenance department to repair it as soon as possible. This is discipline. It is best not to delay.
Don't ask too many questions, such as how many guards there are in this prison and how many prisoners there are. No one will answer you. Did you see the numbers on our bodies? The total number of prison guards may be five digits or only three digits. You may not be the first user of the number 01055. Maybe your predecessor quit and died. After changing the number, maybe 01055 is a new number added randomly. Maybe you will see someone's number is 99999 or 00001. These numbers have no meaning.
And those doors that you don't have permission to go through will not be opened for you. Even if you manage to sneak in, it will be considered an intrusion. People nearby will be alerted. If you act randomly, they have the right to kill you on the spot. you.
The prison is divided into many areas. Every day, prisoners are randomly exchanged to different places. There are no fixed cells, no fixed inmates, and no fixed guards. It is extremely difficult to form gangs and bribe prison guards. The most important thing is that even we don’t know the entire structure of this prison. We just go to the designated place every day and complete the designated work. As I said just now, if you go in and take a look, the alarm will be triggered if the work area is exceeded. "
"It sounds like we are also on guard?" 01055 said, his voice becoming very deep because he was wearing a helmet.
00193 replied: "Yes, although the possibility is extremely small, if you fall into the hands of the criminals, it will be impossible to reveal any useful information to them, such as escape routes, staffing, etc., because you I don’t know.” He paused and said, “Oh, the most important thing to mention is the prisoner. Since you are here, you should have some knowledge about ability users, right?”
01055 said: "Yes, you told us about this before coming here."
"Very good, let me simply say that 80% of the prisoners locked up here are capable people. Therefore, in the prison's ventilation system, there is a special gas circulating in it all year round. This kind of The true identity of the gas is top secret, and we have no way of knowing it. Anyway, under the influence of this gas, the ability of the esper will be suppressed. The stronger the esper will be, the stronger the suppression will be. In short, no matter what level of ability it is, The prisoners are serving their sentences here, and they are no different from ordinary people in prison." 00193 said: "When you are on duty in the prison area, remember that you are the boss. As long as you are wearing uniform, the prisoners will not dare to touch you. If anyone comes up to talk to you, tell him to go away. If he doesn't leave, you put him down and tell him to shut up. If the prisoner comes up and has physical contact with you, you have the right to shoot them directly."
01055 asked: "Are there many similar situations?"
00193 said: "Not many, but for those who are serving their sentences here, you can't take it lightly for a second. Once you encounter a situation, you have to act according to the rules and show no mercy. Of course, you don't have to be a trooper and be on guard at all times to be attacked. , they are equipped with electric shock wheels on their wrists, which will be triggered when they leave their detention area and will be triggered when they touch your uniform. Under that kind of voltage, no matter how tall and strong a man is, he will be shocked and even be electrocuted directly. Not without."
"By the way, since we prison guards all use numbers, what kind of numbers do prisoners use?" 01055 asked.
"Oh... that's the special thing about Tide Prison. Here, the guards use numbers, and the prisoners all use names."
… …
Outside the detention area, in a black corridor.
A group of new prisoners who had been "disinfected" wore uniform prison uniforms and wore electric shock wheels with their names engraved on their right hands. They were escorted by a group of prison guards dressed like Jedi Knights and walked forward in a line.
At the end of the corridor is the last door that needs to be passed before entering the prison.
Suddenly, the prison guard walking in front signaled them to stop. The prisoners were connected by anklets, so they all had to stop.
After everyone turned to the right, in front of a row of prisoners, stood a middle-aged man. He was not wearing a prison guard's uniform, but a suit and ties, with a stern look on his face.
"I am your warden, Jefferson." Jefferson introduced himself: "Before entering that door, as usual, I will meet with the prisoners."
His eyes swept across everyone's face: "I know that you may be smarter than me, stronger than me, or have outstanding talents and achievements in a certain field, or you may be fearless and fanatical with firm beliefs. elements.
No matter which of the above situations you fall into, please accept my sincere respect.
But here you are all losers.
In the outside world, no matter what you once had, you have now lost it. Your most basic rights and personal freedom have also been taken away. The moment you were sent to Hell Island, you lost everything.
You will never be paroled, and you are not even qualified to stand trial. Your sentence is unlimited, and there is no room for making demands or bargaining. Even if the gods you believe in are real, this place does not belong to him. I am the one who controls this place. The king.
There are only two ways to leave here, the first is death.
Second, on the day when the empire believes that you are no longer a threat to this world, I will politely invite you out like decent people without any need for you to defend yourself. "
"Huh... 'No longer a threat to the world'? Why not just say that we are no longer a threat to those pigs of the empire." A prisoner snorted disdainfully.
Jefferson glanced at him and said to the prison guard, "Send him to a coffin for 72 hours."
"Yes, Warden." A prison guard untied the prisoner's anklets and pushed him away. When the man passed by Jefferson, he glared at the warden fiercely.
"If you have the opportunity to see the prisoner just now in the future, you should find that his attitude has changed a lot." Jefferson said: "I hope that you will have a sense of respect for the prison guards and myself.
Torture is one of the languages we use to communicate with you. Death is a common phenomenon here. The law of the jungle is a daily habit here. Pain is as common as breathing. I am not threatening you because there is no need. I am describing the facts. This is Master's obligations.
Welcome to hell. "
