"Three-winged Sanctuary Swordsman, Bloodthirsty Hunter Gerard..."

Ash hid in the corner of the restaurant, observing the spirited white-haired hunter in the crowd, feeling confused and uncertain.

He was no longer a newbie who had just traveled to this world, so he naturally knew that this white-haired hunter, who had made his travel experience so bad, held a very important position in this city.

One wing is silver, two wings are gold, three wings are sanctuary, and four wings are legendary.

Under the starry sky, the legendary magician is the pinnacle, the top of all forces, and the limit of individual combat power. The Three-Winged Holy Domain is the backbone. When the legendary magicians are studying magic and exploring the virtual world, the Holy Domain magicians are often responsible for various important affairs, have the greatest power in the secular world, and are generally the highest level of conventional combat power.

It can also be seen from this that the Four Pillars God cult created by Heath is not the makeshift group that Ash imagined. The fact that Kemon City actually dispatched Gerald, the top hunter of the Crime Hunting Hall, is enough to show that Heath is a high-value wild monster that can be used as a "political achievement".

Compared to his status, Gerard's strength was even more despairing. Originally, the imaginary enemy in Ash's plan was a two-wing magician-level blood-crazy hunter, but now a three-winged sanctuary suddenly appeared, and Gerard alone was enough to wipe out Ash and his team.

If the plan had a 30% chance of success, now it was a 100% chance of success. The transport ship could not return to Kaimon City within ten minutes, and the prison would definitely discover their escape within ten minutes - seizing the transport ship was part of the plan, and they could not escape the battle with the blood-crazed hunter.

Ash sighed, "Since it's him, there's nothing we can do about it. We're just too unlucky."

"No, it's not just luck." Igula took him to the Broken Lake Port, "Look."

Ash looked at the bullet-shaped ship that was fully covered. "The shape of this ship... is very consistent with fluid mechanics!"

"This is no ordinary ship," Igula said. "This is a mobile prison... and it just so happens that it's time for them to get on board."

Under Ash's astonished eyes, the death row prisoners lined up near the port, under the gaze of the hunters, proudly crossed the yellow line, left Broken Lake Prison, and stepped into the transport ship.

Tuke, the famous 'Black Beast' in the prison, suddenly turned around before entering the transport ship, stretched out his fist towards the prison, and laughed: "Hahaha, I finally left this shithole!"

The death row inmates nearby looked at them with envy, but the yellow line drawn on the ground was like an insurmountable barrier. They could only watch others leave while they were not even allowed to get close.

"They are volunteers!" Ash finally remembered the volunteer recruitment a few days ago: "This ship is here to transport them!"

"This is the loophole in the plan!" Igula couldn't help biting his finger. "Because this kind of thing is so rare, I didn't take it into account at all! So this time it's not an ordinary transport ship, but a 'pig cage'!"

"'Pig Cage'?" It was the first time that Ash heard such a strange ship name.

"This ship will not return to Kaimon City, but will go straight east along Broken Lake and reach the Lakeview War Zone in the east of Kaimon!" Igula's face was full of regret: "I should have thought of it earlier. Even if the mayor used interests to convince the lawful organizations in the parliament, they would not allow the death row prisoners to return to the city. That would be too risky!"

"If the news leaks out and the citizens know that a death row inmate escaped trial, it will definitely cause widespread public opinion fermentation, and then the entire parliament will suffer! Citizens will use their votes to reshuffle the parliament!"

"So the only place for those volunteers to go is the Lakeview War Zone, which is responsible for suppressing the Abyss!"

Ash watched the last volunteer step into the cabin and said, "So if we get on board, it would mean we're walking into a trap, running from prison to the Lakeview War Zone, where everyone is strong?"

Although Ash still didn't have a full understanding of the Blood Moon Kingdom, but when he put the key words "suppressed abyss" and "war zone" together, he knew with just a thought that it wouldn't be a water park.

"No, we don't have a chance to get on board at all." Igula shook his head: "This ship also has a processor inside, which will automatically detect any life on board. Once people like us without permission get on board, the entire ship will sound an alarm and mark our location!"

Ash was stunned: "Wait, so your plan was impossible from the beginning! If every ship has such a security system, we can't leave Broken Lake Prison by boat-"

"No, only special-purpose ships like the Pig Cage are equipped with processors. Most other transportation vehicles do not have security inspection systems."

"Ah? Why? Is this processor used for security inspection very expensive?"

"First, it is very valuable. This processor is a product of magicians and must be manufactured by magicians. Second, testing other people's chips without authorization is a serious violation of the law."

Ash blinked, his expression confused for a moment.

He touched the back of his neck and asked, "Being outside, testing the chip, is that a violation?"

"Yes, that's for sure." Igula gave him a strange look: "This kind of violation of privacy is a very serious crime."

Although Ash understood that there must be many differences between inside and outside the prison, when he heard "outside is a country that attaches great importance to privacy", Ash still felt that Igula was teasing him.

Would a place that implants control chips into people's bodies from childhood, can retrieve people's memories, abolishes the family system, and completely socializes upbringing, and turns the death penalty into a variety show really value privacy more than this prison that makes him shit in shackles!

He gave up discussing the issue and asked, "Then why can this ship called 'Pig Cage' detect the chip of any uploader?"

"Because the 'pig cage' is a punishment instrument prepared for soldiers." Igula said, "The 'waterway abyss' suppressed by the Lakeview War Zone must be visited by people every once in a while to investigate the situation."

"But the deeper they go into the abyss of the waterway, the more likely they are to develop mental illness, such as losing their minds, self-harming, and running away."

"Because almost no one is willing to go on this kind of mission, the war zone will put the soldiers who make mistakes and are punished into the 'pig cage' and add many rules to the chip, so that the ship's processor can control them not to hurt themselves, escape, or kill each other. At the same time, the processor is also responsible for detecting life forms on the ship. Once a monster enters the cabin, it will remind the soldiers to clean up the monster."

"Once they complete their mission and come back, they can redeem themselves from their crimes and all their mistakes will be wiped out."

"In order to escort the death row prisoners, even if the war zone thinks it's an exaggeration, Mayor Financier will definitely ask them to send out the 'pig cage'!"

Igula gritted his teeth and said, "I know exactly who Financier is... He will definitely personally intervene in matters concerning his future... All details will definitely be arranged according to the highest standards!"

Ash was in awe: "You even fooled the mayor?"

"I planned to investigate, but the risk was too great and the success rate was too low, so I gave up in the end." Igula said dimly, "If I knew I would end up in jail sooner or later, I would definitely give it a try - the most powerful person I have defrauded was just a congressman."

People cheat to make money, do you cheat to gain achievements

Although Ash didn't know much about mayors, war zones, and abysses, he could hear Igula's subtext: "In other words, there are unsolvable problems in every aspect of our plan?"

"It's just not possible this time." Igula said, "There will be a blood moon trial on the 1st of next month. If we still want to carry out the plan, the time can only be set on the 11th of next month. But according to Professor Schilling's ability, I doubt that the blood moon trial on the 1st may also choose you-"

suddenly!

A light screen suddenly popped up in front of Ash!

"Good afternoon, everyone. This is the administrative department of Broken Lake Prison. I am prison guard Nagu McMillan." Nagu said from the screen, "I have two announcements to report now."

"First, there will be an additional blood moon trial on the 27th of this month. The list of judges will be released on the morning of the 27th."

"Secondly, in order to build the trial scene on the 27th, the Blood Crazy Hunter needs to stay in the prison for one night. I hope you will cooperate with the hunter's work. Anyone who assists the hunter can receive a reward of varying contribution points."

When the light curtain closed automatically, Ash had not yet recovered from his shock.

Additional Blood Moon Judgment

Bloodthirsty Hunter staying temporarily

"Generally speaking, this extra Blood Moon Trial should be prepared for those political prisoners who have just been imprisoned." Igula said faintly, "But I wouldn't be surprised if your name was selected for the trial list."

Ash's expression turned ugly: "You can't be that cruel, right?"

"When you think things are going to get worse, then they will definitely get worse than you imagined," Igulla said. "This is the only truth I have made my clients understand deeply after working as a fraudster for so many years."

"I know you often represent society to beat up rich people. You don't have to keep emphasizing your achievements in front of me." Ash said unhappily, "The worst that can happen is that you'll be put on the trial list on the 25th. Can this matter get any worse?"

At this moment, Ash suddenly felt the light around him dim, as if there was a tall figure behind him blocking the light.

"Ash Hiss, you have been staring at the ship leading to the outside world. Are you trying to escape from prison?"

Igula quietly hid aside.

Ash turned around, took a step back, and forced a smile at the newcomer: "Of course, what boy in prison doesn't want to escape?"

"That may not be the case. Evildoers will repent, and scum will correct their mistakes. Giving you the right kind of despair is the meaning of the Blood Moon Judgment."

Gerard looked down at Ash from above. He glanced at Igula and said calmly, "Have you found a new friend? You are indeed a beloved believer of the Four Pillars Evil Gods. I doubt that if you stay here for too long, you will turn the entire prison into a hotbed for the evil gods."

"I'm going to take a nap. Captain Gerrard, if you want to talk to someone, you can talk to Iguala Bogin. He is very good at investment and financial management. I believe you will definitely gain something—"

"Wait, Ash Hiss." Gerard stopped him. "The prison ordered you to assist the hunters, right? I need you to help me."

Ash felt something was wrong: "How can I help you? Look, I can't lift my shoulders or hands. I'm just a piece of titanium alloy. I'm either eating or sleeping. I'm afraid I can't meet your needs—"

"Great, you can just meet my needs." Gerard snapped his fingers. "The thing is, there are too many prisoners in the prison, so there are no extra dormitories for hunters like us who come to help. As the captain, I will definitely give the single room to other team members and squeeze in with the prisoners."

Ash gasped, "I'm sorry, I don't know any of the girls in the prison, so I can't introduce any to you. Why don't you ask this Igula—"

"Don't bother."

The hunter held Ash's shoulders, his scarlet pupils full of teasing smiles: "Ash Hiss, I think you wouldn't mind staying with me for a night?"
