Some words... No, more precisely, some combination of symbols and graphics appeared in Kieran's eyes.
Two circular patterns drawn with blood, one big and one small, the big one inside the small one, so that the whole pattern is divided into inner and outer layers, and the central part has an extremely abstract pattern, like a... scorpion
Qin Ran wasn't quite sure whether the pattern was a scorpion or not.
In fact, looking at the things written or drawn with blood in front of him, Kieran wasn't even sure if they looked like the 'symbols or graphics' he thought.
As for words
Qin Ran swears that he has never seen such words.
At least, none of the knowledge he had ever learned!
"What on earth is this?"
Kieran looked at the position between the two circles.
Here, there are more symbols.
Start with an upright pentagram and end with an inverted pentagram.
According to Qin Ran's calculation, there are roughly forty-one symbols in the middle.
It's not that Qin Ran doesn't want more accurate numbers, it's just that these symbols are so strange and complicated that Qin Ran can't distinguish them at all. Whether they are combined together and represent one meaning, or are they combined in pairs to represent another A meaning.
Kieran just squatted on the ground, looking at these symbols.
He wanted to find out the rules.
A full ten minutes.
But in the end it was Qin Ran who completely frowned.
Obviously, Qin Ran got nothing.
Facing something completely unfamiliar, it is definitely not something that can be summed up in ten minutes, especially when it is extremely complicated.
call!
Sighing, Kieran stood up and turned his head to look around.
But nothing more was found.
"Mr. 2567, have you found anything?"
Jack, the prison guard who was holding his nose while holding a flashlight, looked at Qin Ran who stood up, and immediately asked.
"There are some!"
"How did Kilffin Hedge die?"
Qin Ran didn't elaborate on what he found, but asked about the death method of a prisoner in this cell.
"That fellow Kilffin Hedge is a lunatic!"
"Can you imagine biting your own wrist and then bleeding yourself?"
"I have been a prison guard in Alcatel for ten years, and I have seen countless vicious guys, but this is the first time I have seen such a crazy guy!"
As soon as Kilffin Hedge was mentioned, fear appeared on Prison Guard Jack's face.
"Is there anything more about Kilffin Hedge?"
"Did he have anything with him when he was arrested?"
Qin Ran continued to ask.
"I don't know much about this guy other than knowing that he was a cult leader who caused hundreds of people to commit suicide!"
"I wouldn't even want to know these things if I could!"
"It's too creepy!"
"Besides, this guy surrendered himself and was not arrested!"
Prison guard Jack shuddered as he spoke.
"Surrendered yourself, not arrested?"
Qin Ran was greatly surprised by what the other party said.
"Well, that guy hides like a mouse! No matter how you catch it, you can't catch it!"
"If he hadn't turned himself in, I think he could still get away with it!"
"Of course, it was announced to the outside world that he was arrested!"
Prison guard Jack shrugged.
Obviously, this is not something to be proud of.
"Didn't he bring anything with him when he turned himself in?"
"Example: books, notes, etc.?"
Qin Ran was still a little bit unwilling to give up.
Curiosity about the combination of symbols and graphics made him want to explore it.
And more often than not, knowledge is recorded in books.
Therefore, Kilffin Hedge's books and notes probably have knowledge about these symbols and graphic combinations.
Unfortunately, prison guard Jack's answer was disappointing.
"No!"
"When that guy turned himself in a year ago, he walked into the police station completely alone. Apart from his clothes, he didn't even have a wallet!"
Prison guard Jack recalled carefully, and then gave an answer.
"Do you need me to authenticate again?"
Prison Officer Jack asked.
"no need!"
"Then let's go to the remaining six cells where the prisoners committed suicide!"
Qin Ran shook his head.
He didn't think Jack, the prison guard, would cheat him on this.
What's more, even if Kilffin Hedge has notes and books that record these symbols and graphic combinations, it is likely that they will fall into the hands of someone the moment he surrenders himself.
After all, there are already 'professionals' like them in this dungeon, so it's not surprising that there are other professionals.
These people must be quite interested in the notes and books carried by the head of a cult who can lure hundreds of people to commit suicide.
Although in the eyes of normal people, Kilfin Hedge is a sad schizophrenic patient.
Two of the remaining six cells where inmates commit suicide are also on the third floor.
Three are concentrated on the second floor, and the remaining one is on the first floor—the first and second floors also have monitoring probes, which are not as dense as the third floor, but they are enough to control the overall situation.
There is nothing special about the distribution of cells for suicide prisoners.
On the search, the same is true for the first five cells.
Now, Qin Ran came to the last cell.
Compared with Kilffin Hetch's cell, the cell where these six prisoners lived was much better—of course, it was only compared with the cell Kilffin Hetch was in.
Never imagine what a fine hotel room looks like.
Because, Alcatel's best cell is no match for a hotel toilet.
Just like in front of you, the prison guard Jack said Alcatel's best cell.
It's just that there is an extra lighting fixture fixed on the ceiling, a steel frame bed also fixed on the floor, and an extra lid on the toilet.
There is still no window to see outside.
There is also no sink or the like.
"The first floor is for the honest prisoners!"
"They can be allowed sometimes!"
"However, there are not many opportunities!"
Prison guard Jack introduced.
"Hopefully don't give them too much freedom to describe in their books!"
While talking, Qin Ran turned on [Tracking] again.
"I hope so!"
"However, this is what they deserve!"
Prison officer Jack smiled.
There was no sympathy for these prisoners.
Similarly, Kieran didn't either.
Because, through the narration of the prison guard Jack, Qin Ran has a general understanding of the guy locked here, as if his current cell is said to house relatively honest prisoners, and it is this relatively honest prisoner , robbed three banks and killed no fewer than ten innocent people.
To put it simply, every guy in Alcatel can be regarded as heinous. Even the one with the lightest crime is enough to be shot ten times in the Federation.
As for whether there are people who have been wronged
Maybe in other prisons, but in Alcatel
Absolutely not.
Because, all the prisoners here are well-documented prisoners.
That's what prison guard Jack said.
Although Qin Ran has some doubts about this.
After turning on [Tracking], Qin Ran carefully searched the entire cell as he did five times before.
In the field of vision that must show every trace, all traces cannot escape Qin Ran's eyes.
But still no gains!
The cell in front of me is very 'clean'!
Not the slightest trace was left.
Under the bed, behind the toilet, and even in the cracks of the door, Qin Ran checked all the places that Kieran could think of to hide things, but there was nothing.
It is not known that these prisoners left nothing behind.
It was still left, but it was cleaned.
Kieran leaned towards the latter.
The prison guard Jack on the side has complained more than once about the trouble of cleaning the cells where these suicide prisoners are.
“It was so clean!”
Qin Ran sighed.
With the attitude of the prison guards towards the prisoners here, it is absolutely impossible to clean it so cleanly.
"Must be clean!"
"Because every time the warden cleans it himself first, then we clean it!"
"Finally, the warden will check!"
"Several guys were reprimanded by the warden for not cleaning seriously!"
Prison guard Jack said in a helpless tone.
"The warden cleans it himself?"
Qin Ran was surprised.
This is completely beyond his imagination.
In his impression, the warden was not the kind of person who would do such a thing.
"yes!"
"'Those prisoners are scum, but this is my territory. I don't want them to be as dirty as those scum!' The words of the warden are famous here!"
Prison officer Jack replied.
"It fits the warden's style very well!"
Qin Ran nodded and walked towards the outside of the cell.
Although he said so, Kieran became more and more suspicious of the warden.
But there is no discovery in front of him, and it is useless to stay any longer.
It's better to go back to the room and ask Lawless about the meaning of those symbols and graphics. Maybe he will understand the meaning of these symbols and graphics based on the experience of the eighth dungeon.
Maybe something will be discovered.
After walking out of the cell, Qin Ran did not go up to the third floor and returned to the east.
Instead, prepare to take the exit of the prison area to the west and return to the east.
However, before Qin Ran could take a step, the door to the west prison area opened, and a group of five heavily armed prison guards walked in.
They opened the cell door and let the prisoners inside come out.
Every prisoner is disheveled and foul-smelling all over, and at the same time, holds a folded towel in his hand—just a towel, no soap, washbasin, etc.
"bath?!"
Seeing this scene, Qin Ran instantly understood.
This is what prison guard Jack calls his only chance to get out of his cell once a week: to take a shower.
"Today is bath day again!"
The prison guard Jack on the side seemed to have just remembered this day, and then, he walked to the place near the wall in the corridor, and motioned for Kieran to do the same.
"This is the rule set by the warden—those who have no mission must give way to those who perform the mission!"
"Bath day is a very important task in Alcatel Prison—because, only on this day, prisoners will leave their cells!"
Prison guard Jack stood side by side with Qin Ran, first explained something, and then muttered in a low voice.
"Sure enough, did the previous poisoning make people less manpower?"
"Originally a team of at least ten people!"
Poisoning naturally wouldn't reduce the number of prison guards so much.
The real reason for the lack of manpower was that the warden had been stationed on the outskirts of Alcatel Prison to catch Old Tom's possible escapee accomplice.
Qin Ran was well aware of this.
However, it was impossible to explain to prison guard Jack.
Standing on one side, Kieran watched as the doors of each cell were opened, and the prisoners came out one by one.
Soon, the iron door of the cell opposite to Qin Ran was opened.
"Hey, it's good to see the sun!"
A thin, shriveled old man came out of the cell.
Unlike other prisoners, this old man had a smile on his face, standing in the light and stretching his waist, with a relaxed expression on his face. The towel was not folded in his hands, but hung on his shoulders.
"Hey, a new face?"
When the old man saw Qin Ran, he couldn't help being surprised.
And this approach was in exchange for the anger of the prison guard who opened the door of the cell.
"Shut up, you have already missed this chance to take a shower!"
The prison guard hit the old man's back with the butt of his gun, causing the old man to stagger and fall beside Qin Ran. Then, before the old man could stand up again, he was dragged by the prison guard and thrown back into the cell.
But Qin Ran had a strange look on his face.
"This guy is a famous thief!"
"If it wasn't for breaking out too many times, it wouldn't be easy to be imprisoned in Alcatel!"
Prison guard Jack explained the other party's identity.
"A thief?"
"No wonder!"
Qin Ran pinched the ball of paper that suddenly appeared in his pocket, and his heart suddenly came to a sudden.
The moment the old man who was called the thief was knocked down, his dancing palms seemed to keep him balanced, but in fact he stuffed the ball of paper into Kieran's pocket.
The moment before the other party touched his pocket, Kieran could see the other party's intention, but he didn't intend to stop him at all.
A prisoner at Alcatel would 'put' paper balls into the pocket of a stranger.
What does it mean
Or to put it more simply: what is inside the ball of paper? What is written
Accidental discovery!
The corners of Qin Ran's mouth turned up slightly.
