[Thanks for Mrrar's monthly ticket support! ]
In the early morning, when Zero came to the office of the city hall, Yafidi had already arrived early. Ling was quite surprised, recently he was busy training with Su, and had never seen Yafidi. On the other hand, when I was eating and chatting with Leah, and I was learning about the current situation of the city through the girl, I heard about Yafidi staying at home behind closed doors. Although Zero was curious about the situation of the former regiment leader, he did not inquire further out of the principle of respect. At this time, Yafeidi suddenly appeared, obviously coming for something important, so he was invited to the office.
Yafidi said at the beginning: "These days I sorted out and recorded some of the situation in the Thebes prison, maybe you need to use this information."
He took out a stack of thick paper manuscripts and put them in front of Zero. Zero glanced at it, and it was full of words and scribbled graphics.
"When I was the head of the regiment, I read some information about the Thebes prison in my spare time. It was just to pass the time. In addition, the prison, the city of rocks, and the Canon fortress were all built by the city of Rome. Mr. Lancaster, the best architectural designer more than ten years ago. The Great Prison of Thebes is his most proud masterpiece, so I will remember it in my heart, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy now. ’” Yafidi said.
"Thank you very much."
Zero said sincerely, and Yafidi waved his hand and said: "This is nothing compared to your kindness for saving our family. I heard that you plan to rescue Cinderella. Remember to call me when the time comes. After all, I am more important than you." More familiar with the Great Prison of Thebes."
"But you..."
"I know that family is very important to me. So I have arranged for Mina and the others to leave these two days, and then I will rush back before you leave. In this way, I can let go and do what I want to do." Ya Fiddy said seriously.
Seeing him like this, Zero didn't say anything, but shook his arm heavily.
it is more than words.
After Yafidi left, Zero began to look through the materials of Thebes Prison. The prison was built after the city of Rome, by the same designer. However, after successively designing Rock City and Canon Fortress, the designer Lancaster died unfortunately after completing the design of Canon Fortress due to years of fatigue and exposure to the radiation-filled surface. The Great Prison of Thebes is his most proud work, claiming that no one can escape from the prison.
Of course, regardless of the unfallen name of Canon Fortress or the Wall of Sigh of Rock City, they were all overthrown by Zero. It can be said that Lancaster is a talented architect. However, limited by the times and knowledge, his vision was not long enough to touch the present era, and he didn't know the horror of capable people. Therefore, most of the designs from his handwriting should be for conventional situations. Although Thebes Prison is known as an iron prison, it may not necessarily be so indestructible.
Zero continued to look down.
The information written by Yafei Dimo should have been read many years ago. The records are a bit messy, and even though Yafidi has sorted them out, there are still large gaps. But after reading these records, coupled with some simple sketches, it also let Zero know a general structure of the big prison.
The prison is divided into six floors, one floor at a time, the lower the prisoner is, the more dangerous it is. Given Cinderella's importance, it goes without saying that she must be imprisoned at the bottom of the prison. The biggest feature of Thebes Prison is the psychological illusion. It has to be said that Lancaster is indeed ingenious in this design. At first glance, the prison floors seem to descend vertically, but they are not. The position between each floor is more like a Z-shape. The elevator that seems to go straight down is due to the use of the balance system, so when it is moving obliquely, the people in the elevator do not feel it. In a closed space, without any reference, it is difficult for you to know whether you are walking down or diagonally.
The biggest use of this design is to confuse the senses of the escape or intruder. If you do not enter the correct instructions, the elevator will not reach the lower prison, but will send you to another space. When you step out of the elevator, you will find that a large group of fully armed soldiers have pointed their guns at you.
Moreover, the instructions of each prison are different, and they will be changed randomly every day, and only those who have the authority to enter and exit the prison will know. Therefore, the possibility of jailbreaking and intrusion is eliminated to the greatest extent. Of course, other arrangements such as the prison being located underwater, etc., are all partial designs aimed at the prisoner's escape.
In addition to the situation in Thebes Prison, Yafidi also mentioned some other surrounding conditions about the prison. The island where Thebes Prison is located had only one ground military base at the beginning, which was used to train prison guards. Later, with Sauron's acquiescence, a city began to be built on the island. The city is not open to ordinary people, it is open to criminals. Yes, criminals.
No matter what crimes you have committed elsewhere, whether you are a pirate or a highwayman, as long as you escape to this city before being arrested, you will be pardoned for all crimes. So the city became a sanctuary for criminals, and its name is the City of Sin.
Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch. After entering the city of sin, although the crime has been forgiven, you are not allowed to leave the city for life. However, life in the city cannot be called good. Military control is implemented here, and freedom is greatly restricted. But from eight o'clock every night to six o'clock the next morning, during this period of time, all restrictions are opened in sin city, and you can do anything. There is only one thing, you can't kill people.
Once someone kills someone, he will be put in the prison of Thebes.
However, it is not easy to do this.
Come to think of it, whoever arrives in Sin City is not a vicious criminal, these people will never have a better temper. And during the period when the restriction was lifted. Sin City not only provides ordinary entertainment, such as bar dancers, but also opens up many psychotropic drugs. Under such circumstances, people's emotions cannot be controlled normally like during the day. Often the end of losing control of emotions is murder, not to mention that in the extremely depressed situation during the day, who doesn't want to vent at night.
Therefore, there is no shortage of criminals in the Great Prison of Thebes. Even the first to third floors of the large prison are simply prepared for the people of Sin City.
It's okay to be put in jail, as long as you can pay the ransom that the prison stipulates, you can be released. Yafidi pointed out that when every criminal fled to Sin City, he brought a certain amount of wealth with him. And Sin City absorbs money through entertainment and prison ransom every night. When criminals have sucked up all their money, they will naturally never want to come out after being locked up in prison. And after a period of time, the person will quietly disappear from the world.
A large part of Sin City's income fell into Sauron's pocket. And the money will not go through the financial system of the city of Rome, so the public will not know. And those officials who knew, because of Sauron's status, turned a blind eye.
After more than ten years of development, Sin City and Thebes Prison have long since become an inseparable whole.
"Sin City..." Zero tapped the desktop with his fingers, and the mastermind calculated extremely quickly based on the data provided by Yafidi. After a while, a clear plan appeared in Zero's mind. After deliberating some details, he decided to use this as the blueprint for rescuing Cinderella.
Sauron used the city of sin to make money, so he would use this to break through the impenetrable Thebes prison. Sauron would soon discover that his greatest earning tool had in turn become his greatest weakness.
Zero-use Brain sent an encrypted email, and Isabel appeared on the screen after a while. The commissioner who used to be the last in the past is now full of glory. On the day St. Louis was attacked, commissioner Mason died tragically. In addition, she now supports Zero and Paul, and her status in the seven-member committee has been greatly improved, and she is even more responsible for contacting Zero.
When seeing Zero, the beautiful committee member smiled and said, "Is there anything I can do for you? Master Zero."
"Miss Isabel, I need an identity. The identity of a criminal, he had better be the heinous one."
Although Isabel felt strange, she did not refuse. She said, "Please give me a day, and I will prepare all relevant information for you."
"Okay, waiting for your news."
This concludes the brief communication.
Only then did Zero have time to deal with the accumulated work in Rock City. In fact, Leah had already filtered through the mountain of files for him, and Leah had already processed those files that were not very important for him. For the rest, he needs his signature to take effect. After processing these files, even though Zero's mastermind has excellent computing power, it still took half a day.
With those files processed, all that's left is the report from Franklin.
Franklin reported that he had retrained the army because of the approaching spring. As long as winter and spring melt, the regular troops of the Sea God Regiment will be able to go to Rock City to participate in the next battle. After nearly three months of recuperation, the number of infantry regiments has expanded to 30,000. This is the maximum number of people that Franklin believes. If the number exceeds this number, it will not be able to achieve a balance in terms of equipment and army quality.
Zero believes that with Franklin's ability, there is no doubt about his judgment.
Finally, Franklin mentioned Chia. On the basis of a batch of biochemical raw materials and equipment donated by Istar last month, the preparation of biological organs that was originally scheduled to be completed next month has been completed ahead of schedule, and there are as many as twenty-five. At present, suitable soldiers have been selected in the army for transplantation. After a period of time after transplantation, the biological organs have stabilized and can provide soldiers with sixth-order biological energy.
After these strengthened soldiers have been trained, they already have a certain combat power. It's just that the biological organs currently developed by Ji Ya can only simply generate energy, without any reason for producing any ability. Therefore, when Franklin trained them, he continued to use the spear-throwing tactics of the Trident. That is the most effective tactic for this batch of strengthened soldiers. Right now, these soldiers have left Canon Fortress. On the way to the Rock City, Franklin hoped that they could add one point to Zero's chances of winning the next battle.
As for the biological organs with aptitude, Ji Ya has already begun to develop them. I believe that in the near future, Zero will be able to have an army of capable users that can be mass-produced.
This is exciting news. The arrival of enhanced soldiers may not bring any key changes to the battle situation. But its significance is very important, which means that Zero finally has the technology that can enable capable people to mass-produce. Once this technology is formed, let alone the Western Continent. Even other continents Zero also has the strength to sweep them. Of course, if you are happy, you are happy, Zero has not forgotten. The most critical thing in front of him now is still time.
For example, the matter of rescuing Cinderella is urgent, because she can't wait for the appearance of the army of capable users.
Isabel's efficiency is still very high, and in the evening of this day, a complete identity information has been sent to Ling's brain. According to Zero's request, the identity Isabel chose for Zero was a criminal named Rafi. The reason why this criminal was chosen was first of all because his figure was very similar to Zero, which was very important, which greatly reduced the risk of Zero impersonating. Secondly, Raphael is a seventh-level killer who is good at stealth and sharp blade skills. His appearance is characterized by pale hair and golden pupils, and an X-shaped scar on the left side of his face.
This person was a pirate who was rampant in the open sea ten years ago, and the Pope's Hall was rounded up many times. Before the four pirates became famous, he was one of the first-class criminals in the Pope's Hall. But suddenly disappeared ten years ago, no one knows where he went. Only then did Cinderella and the others appear, replacing Raphael as a headache for the Vatican.
In fact, it was Raphael who secretly joined the Brotherhood ten years ago and changed his name. He was killed in an operation five years ago, but everything about him still survives in the Brotherhood. Isabel has asked for the long knife "Blood Dusk" used by Lafite and related characteristic clothing to be sent to Rock City, accompanied by an excellent makeup artist. With his help, Zero can transform himself into the great pirate Raphael of that year.
In this message, there is also a brief biography of Rafael's life. Including the sensational deeds he has done, as well as who his enemies and friends are, etc., it can be seen that Isabel has prepared very carefully.
Early the next morning, a car arrived at Rock City. The car stopped at the entrance of the city hall, and an old man with a serious face got out of the car. He handed over Isabel's letter of introduction. He turned out to be a member of the fraternity. The old man named Wally is an excellent makeup master, and Isabel invited him to disguise Zero.
Wally's makeup skills are top-notch, and he recreates Zero based on Raphael's photo. Raphael has white hair, and Zero has black hair. These two colors go to extremes. If you just cover it with dye, it will be easy to show your stuffing. So Wally used a potion to bleach the melanin in Zero's hair, so that Zero could maintain a head of gray hair before the new hair grew. The next step is to replace Zero with a colored pupil membrane, making Zero's other eye also golden.
In half a day, Wally started with details such as skin color and scars. What is rare is that Wally did not simply make up Zero according to Raphael's previous appearance, but made a slight change on the basis of Raphael's appearance, so as to present a Raphael more than ten years later . So when Zero walked out of the room, he looked much more mature than his actual age. Putting on Raphael's iconic cloak and long knife, Zero is like a different person.
After that, Wally also took out a smart brain, which contained some video records about Raphael. This was also prepared by Isabel for him, with the purpose of making Zero familiar with Rafa's movements. He has a signature movement, that is, he will touch his nose when he encounters something difficult to understand, or before he has the intention to kill. Zero took this detail down, plus some other information. In the evening, from the tone of speech to the posture of walking, Zero was seven or eight points similar to the real Rafael.
Wally said: "Raphael is arrogant and arrogant, and he draws his sword at every turn. If you want to play him, I'm afraid you will have to kill a few people."
Zero nodded: "That's exactly why I asked Isabel for information about a villain. I originally planned to kill someone."
After that, Zero had a secret talk with Su and other core members that night. In the early morning of the next day, he quietly left Rock City without anyone knowing, and went alone to the island of Cunado, where the prison of Thebes was located.
Three days later, Raphael appeared on one of the islands in the north, attracting the pursuit of the Pope's Hall. Two days later, he landed on the island of Cunado and obtained immunity, and let the fleet chasing him look at the island with a sigh. On the same day, after registering, Rafa officially became one of the "residents" of Sin City.
A guard from Sin City had just completed the relevant registration procedures for Zero dressed as Rafael, and then said: "I hope you have enough treasures. You know, no amount of money is enough for us." He smiled, and said again: "Come with me, Mr. Rafael. First of all, you must go to our appraisal office for a property notarization, and then convert your property into credit points that can be used in our city. Use credit points You can spend whatever you want in the city during your free time in the evening, and then I will find you a place to live. To be honest, I haven’t seen a big person like you in the past two years. It’s an honor to serve you.”
According to Lafayette's habit, Zero hummed, and said with a slightly changed tone: "Since there is consumption, there should be places to make money, right?"
"Of course." The guard said with a smile: "As long as you abide by the law every day, you will get ten credit points. This is the most basic income. In addition, there are many ways to make money during the free time at night .For example, playing underground black boxing, or accepting some special tasks, or you can win the other party’s property through street challenges. In short, as long as you are strong enough, you can live well here.”
Zero smiled grimly: "This is really a paradise for criminals."
So today, Zero managed to sneak into Sin City.
There are still two days before Cinderella's execution!
