"Welcome to Alcatel, everyone!"
"I'm Siko, the warden here!"
After entering the room, the warden welcomed Qin Ran and his party as the host.
Different from the cold and rigid greeting when the deputy warden greeted him, the warden in front of him had a smile on his face, but there was no sincerity.
Just a perfunctory one.
And the conversation that followed was also full of a sense of formula.
"Alcatel is not big, but there are still many places that I need to do by myself, so I can't greet everyone at the first time!"
"I'm so sorry!"
"Especially what happened just now, it made me burn out!"
Starting with the words of apology, the warden Xi Ke began to talk about the key points of why Qin Ran and his party came here.
"It happened a month ago!"
"Kilfin Hetch, everyone must know this guy—the leader of the Hetch cult, a pathetic schizophrenic, and the culprit who caused hundreds of people to commit suicide!"
"After he was arrested, he was imprisoned in Alcatel!"
"In fact, all the prisoners in Alcatel are prisoners who cannot be accommodated in other prisons. They are either guilty of heinous crimes or have unique skills. Except for Alcatel, there is no place to pay attention to these guys!"
Speaking of this, a look of pride appeared on the face of the warden Siko.
Far more sincere than the previous smile.
Then, the other party continued to speak.
"Kilffin Hedge is no exception!"
"Since he came to Alcatel a year ago, he has been completely sealed off. His ability to deceive people has no effect!"
"So, he is desperate!"
"He chose to commit suicide!"
"At least... that's what I thought at first!"
Warden Siko paused for a moment and said.
"So, what happened?"
According to the previous rules, Qin Ran asked on behalf of everyone
"suicide!"
"Prisoners commit suicide one after another!"
"Although some unbearable guys have chosen this path in previous years, it is definitely not as frequent as after Kilffin Hedge's death—within one month, six people have died in their cells!"
"Coupled with Alcatel's local legends, some bad words began to spread in the prison!"
"So, I invited everyone!"
The warden raised his head and scanned everyone in the room, and finally, his eyes settled on Qin Ran.
He said: "Mr. 2567 has proven himself, I hope you can also have the strength of Mr. 2567! Jack Ben will be your guide and escort for the next week!"
With that said, the warden stood up and was about to leave.
"Your Excellency the Warden, can we go to the cells where the prisoners committed suicide?"
"We also need the information of those prisoners!"
Qin Ran asked.
"certainly!"
"I will give most of the authority to Jack Ben—and for things that Jack can't handle, you can also contact me through Jack!"
The warden nodded.
"Grateful!"
"We will take care of everything as soon as possible!"
Qin Ran replied.
And such an answer made the warden feel satisfied, and after a smile appeared on his serious face, he left the room quickly.
"What is 'I hope you can also have the strength of Mr. 2567!'?"
"This guy is not only perfunctory, but also sowing discord!"
As the warden's footsteps faded away, Lawlessness began to imitate the warden's words, with a thick sarcasm on his face.
"Sure enough... this guy 'hired' us here to deceive others and put on a show!"
Lawless, with a cigar in his mouth, took a deep puff, exhaled a thick smoke ring, and continued talking.
At the same time, he looked at Qin Ran, who had been in deep thought since the warden left.
"2567, what did you think of?"
Lawless asked.
"Kilfin Hetch, the leader of the Hetch cult!"
"Even if the other party is perfunctory and deceiving others, the information the other party said before should not be false—the successive suicides of the prisoners began after the death of Kilffin Hedge!"
"Even if a month has passed, the clues left behind will become blurred!"
"But if you investigate, you should still start there!"
Qin Ran said.
"Um!"
"I stay to protect our employer!"
Lawless nodded, agreeing with Qin Ran's statement, indicating his mission
"I'll stay and rest!"
Zhang Wei, who was lying on the bed and dozed off, said without opening his eyes.
"Good luck!"
Steinbeck, the employer, said kindly.
Qin Ran nodded, turned around and left the room.
The attitudes of the three temporary players were different, but they were all understandable.
The duty of lawlessness is to protect the employer, Steinbeck!
Although he doesn't know how much the 'broker' offered to hire Lawless, Kieran can be sure that it is definitely much higher than the price for hiring him.
At least it is the income that meets the high evaluation of the eighth copy of customs clearance.
Otherwise, based on the words that Lawless once warned him, such as 'every dungeon must do its best to dig out side missions', the other party would definitely not be as leisurely as he is now.
As a protected person, Steinbeck only wants to get through the dungeon safely and stay in one place safely, which is the most suitable.
And No. 1 and No. 2
Steinbeck, of course.
As for Zhang Wei
Obviously, this temporary player will never stay here for a real rest, it's just that he doesn't plan to go to the same area as him.
Qin Ran was well aware of this.
But don't pay too much attention to it.
Digging side quests in dungeons is everyone's right.
Qin Ran wasn't overbearing enough to think that the side missions of the entire multiplayer dungeon belonged to him.
…
After leaving the room, Kieran entered the video surveillance center next door, and prison guard Jack, who was sitting on a chair, immediately stood up.
"Mr. 2567, do you have any orders?"
Obviously, after the warden's orders, prison guard Jack's attitude towards Qin Ran became more respectful, and of course he became used to this weird code name.
"I want to check in the cell of the cult leader!"
"If possible... I want to pass through the third floor!"
Qin Ran said, and then added something.
"From where?"
"OK!"
Jack, the prison guard who was walking forward, was taken aback for a moment, and then he said.
"What's wrong? Is there anything special there?"
"The first and second floors of the entire building are sealed off with cement walls, only there is a passage!"
Qin Ran knocked around.
"It's for the convenience of the warden's inspection!"
"The warden likes to have direct access to the cell area from his office!"
"Of course, other people can pass too - as long as they are not prisoners!"
Prison guard Jack explained, and then joked with Qin Ran.
At the same time, the two walked up the stairs.
"In other words, the warden left it there on purpose?"
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Well, it was the prison warden's second year in office!"
"To be honest, it's much more convenient for everyone!"
"Some guys have even developed the habit of passing through the third floor instead of bypassing the entrance of the prison area to the west from the outside!"
Prison guard Jack nodded.
Was it ordered by the warden
Just for convenience
Qin Ran had a question mark in his heart.
However, Qin Ran did not ask again.
He raised his head and looked in front of him.
The stairway on the third floor is already close at hand.
You must know that he chose to go here, not for the sake of novelty.
It has its own purpose!
