Enforcer's Handbook

If you want to find the fellow villagers, you must go deep into Area D. Only a few managers he trusts the most know the way to the deeper levels of the prison area.

These managers are called "judges" by the prisoners in Area D. In this area where only the weak and the strong are respected, judges usually act as middlemen, mediating when conflicts and disputes occur.

Of course, the method of mediation in lawless zones is rather special.

Just like what Song Lan saw at this moment, he was sitting in the surrounding auditorium amidst cheers. From the traces, it could be vaguely recognized that this was originally a large stadium, but now it has been transformed into a stadium full of blood and killings. Arena.

When conflicts cannot be reconciled, both parties will enter the arena under the witness of a judge and use this method that is close to primitive society to decide everything.

The winner will take away everything that belongs to the loser, while the loser can only leave Area D in despair and become a humble slave in Area C amidst the ridicule of other prisoners.

However, there are not many disputes that need to be resolved even at the risk of everything in Area D. The arena is deserted most of the time. In order to heat up the place, the judges in Area D3 used their brains and came up with some interesting competition systems.

What Song Lan and Lu Xiang were watching was the most anticipated King Knockout Tournament in recent times.

It is said that this event has attracted the attention of the ruler, and the winner will be personally received by the ruler and given the title of judge.

The reason why the two came here is very simple. One of the contestants is their old friend.

On this issue, both Song Lan and Lu Xiang made mistakes in their judgments.

Mr. "Emperor" was not detained by airport security in District 4 for installing a lethal prosthetic body, nor was he instantly killed by an unknown little character on the first day he arrived, and was reduced to a pitiful cushion to highlight himself. The value of "the most vicious" criminals.

Today, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as having infinite scenery.

His promotional posters are everywhere in the D3 area. The terminology on the airship gave him the title of "the strongest reformer in the coalition government". Since entering prison, he has played 18 games with a record of 18 wins and 0 losses. Give all prisoners some shock from the coalition.

Song Lan was really happy for his old friend.

He has always felt that the hard power of the "Emperor" is beyond words, but he was a little behind some time ago. He encountered opponents who were more than one level above him, which made him seem to be the strongest six in the coalition government. The star rescuer has been suffering from deficiencies.

RT6's evaluation of him is very objective.

Standing at the pinnacle of mankind, after undergoing the transformation into a prosthetic body, it is not difficult to defeat opponents at the level of δ.

With the current record of 18 wins and 0 losses, those who doubt that the "Emperor" has turned into a comedian should change their views.

The "Emperor"'s opponent this time doesn't look very strong.

The thin body and trembling appearance were incompatible with the sturdy painting style of the entire prison. The completely mechanized "Emperor" was like a hill in front of her.

He just took a step forward, and the weak girl was so frightened that she fell to the ground and covered her face with her hands, as if this was the only thing she could do at the moment.

"Don't, don't kill me. I don't want to. They forced me. I don't want to come here at all!"

The girl muttered absently.

Lu Xiang, who had used his authority to complete the scan, leaned into Song Lan's ear and whispered in her ear, "It is recorded that she is a prisoner in Area B and the former scientific research team leader of the unified military industry. She has performed well during her sentence. She will stay peacefully for another 1 year." She can apply to be transferred to Area A in a few months, she really shouldn't be here."

This scene also made Song Lan, who was still happy for her good friend "Emperor", start to murmur in her heart.

If the opponents of these 18 wins are ordinary people with no strength, then some people will definitely question the gold content of this winning streak.

"Ms. Devin Horner, why are you here?"

The "Emperor" obviously recognized the other party and stepped forward to ask.

Horna was not sent to prison for a long time. She collapsed two years ago due to internal strife in the unified military industry, and was immediately sent here by people from hostile forces. However, for these company people, they should be more or less Understand some of the prison rules, such as serving three years in District B and applying to be transferred to District A to spend your remaining years.

"It's them. Someone broke into Area B and asked us if we knew anything about you..."

"who are they?"

"madness!"

Devine Horner's voice suddenly changed, replaced by a high-pitched and harsh voice, "This is the result of lack of vigilance!"

The barb that broke out between the two pierced the chest of the "Emperor" in the blink of an eye. As the ground cracked, the opponent in this match finally revealed his true face.

"This thing...is a human being?"

Song Lan in the audience said in astonishment.

As the ground of the arena collapsed, what appeared in front of them was a huge abyss mouth, like ink-colored tentacles replacing teeth, and the smell of blood and decay spread to the audience.

This monster with its teeth and claws clearly speaks human language.

Compared with this thing, the aberrations of the Lunar Eclipse Sect that were corrupted by their belief in the moon god are much more conservative in appearance. Although their faces and figures have been distorted, at least they still retain the outline of the human form. This The thing looks more like a Devourer type of species.

"Anglefish, that's its nickname."

Lu Xiang pulled up the prisoner-related files and showed Song Lan an ordinary photo. The man in the photo was the type that would never attract attention in a crowd. "The information said he was a Yun Gang creature." The product of failed pharmaceutical preparations turned them into creatures between humans and Devourers. Theoretically, it is one of the forms of Devourers. It seems to be affected by the genes and memories of the original body, making them It mistakenly thinks it is still human."

Then, she added, "You should know about the anglerfish. That kind of fish uses lights to attract its prey. That's where his nickname comes from. He likes to use this method to launch a surprise attack on his prey, especially towards his prey." Let’s start with a newcomer who has just arrived in District D.”

22 wins and 6 losses.

This is the record for the anglerfish in the Arena Records.

Dewan Horna of the unified military industry was just a bait that it sneaked into Area B to make the "Emperor" take it lightly. The two people knew each other because of their work.

As he spoke, the final ground began to collapse downwards.

Devine Horner reluctantly stretched out her right hand upwards, trying to grab something, but she couldn't stop the falling process.

The maw of the abyss seemed to swallow her and the "Emperor" together.

"He has a habit of eating prey, and some less powerful prisoners often become its meals. The data also mentions that when it first regained consciousness, the entire laboratory was swallowed by it."

The arena clearly stipulates that both sides can use any means in the battle, and eating the opponent is naturally within the scope of the rules.

It is indeed Yungang Biopharmaceutical.

Song Lan could only lament that it seemed that all the genetic monsters they had encountered so far were created by this company. Experimental accidents seemed to have become a common occurrence. The chief researcher had changed countless ones in the past ten years. Their predecessor It is estimated that they all became food for genetic monsters in some unknown corner.

"However, this kind of little trick that doesn't stand up to the public eye is ineffective against the 'Emperor'. He is a champion of hard power!"

He crossed his legs, crossed his arms over his chest, and spoke with confidence.

With the roar caused by the vibration, the ground that fell under Dewen Horna's feet was in the air. The barb that penetrated the chest of the "Emperor" stopped swinging. His hands held the front part of the barb, and the scarlet The prosthetic eye stared into the abyss-like hole.

In an instant, the cracks starting from the "Emperor's" hands spread. In just a few seconds, the cracks formed a spider web on the ground. It was so weird that it seemed as if the entire space was cut into pieces by the cracks.

"The invincible ground cracking attack in the universe."

Amid the astonishment of the audience, Song Lan smiled slightly and said, "This is the power of a hard-power champion."

"Why do you name other people's skills?"

Lu Xiang glanced at him sideways. A serious and steady person like the "Emperor" would definitely not accept Song Lan's naming method, "Also, why does your tone sound like you have won the battle?" .”

In the arena, the "Emperor" was fighting a bloody battle with the anglerfish, and Song Lan acted like an outsider.

Slowpoke seems to be getting a little carried away lately.

This may be related to the fact that she has not strictly disciplined the other party since she came to the first district.

"There is no doubt that the winner is the 'Strongest Cyborg Emperor' from the coalition government. This is another overwhelming victory. I really don't know how long his winning streak will last."

The referee quickly announced the result of the game, and the tentacles that stopped swinging said everything.

The victorious "Emperor" ignored the referee's announcement. The floating device of the prosthetic body allowed him to stand calmly and calmly on this broken land. Showing his gentlemanly style, he hugged Devin like a princess. -Hona.

The faces of the audience varied.

Where there is competition, there is gambling.

The victory of the "Emperor" once again earned many people a lot of money, and naturally some people lost even their underwear.

But regardless of grief or ecstasy, experienced audiences have begun to leave.

The anglerfish lost, and the injury this time seemed really serious, which meant that it needed to eat a lot to return to its original state.

"As usual, we divide our troops into two groups."

Song Lan said, "You go and congratulate the 'Emperor' on his 19th consecutive victory, and by the way find out why he is playing here."

"how about you?"

"I... went to RT6 to see if they were having a quarrel or conflict."

No matter how you look at it, finding the RT6 is a more difficult task.

RT6 is not an ordinary high school girl. The warden of the entire small garden is her mother. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as a second-generation super official. Coupled with her status as a genius hacker, there is no doubt that she will be found in Area D. Difficulties abound.

So judging from the difficulty of the mission, he can't be blamed even if he failed to find the whereabouts of RT6 in the end.

Song Lan made many plans.

For example, when you go to a roadside shop for lunch, you accidentally meet a talented hacker girl; or on the way to book a hotel, you bump into RT6 in the lobby who is also going through the formalities.

These are all very well planned.

"Don't be lazy."

Lu Xiang's mood was extremely complicated, and she felt that her instructions were a bit weak.

Everyone knows that as long as Slowbird is out of your sight, he will be lazy, but you can never stay by his side all the time to stop him from being lazy.

"Don't worry, just wait for my good news."

Looking at Song Lan's brisk walking back, Lu Xiang suddenly remembered something.

Watch out for anglerfish.

This sentence came to my lips, but in the end I didn't say it out.

According to the information provided by the warden, the anglerfish will enter a hunting state every time it is injured, and newcomers who have just arrived are often the focus of its attention.

But if you look at this issue from a rational perspective, you will find that it is not Song Lan who should be careful.

Watch out for Slowpoke.

Lu Xiang recalled her experience when she first learned about the anglerfish. She didn't know this strange fish with lights on its head from the "Encyclopedia of Animals" at first, but from the dinner plate.

Onion-flavored angler fish liver.

Well, I only ate meat buns in the morning.

Compared with real high-end delicacies, meat buns are indeed a little less interesting.

…

Have lunch, book a hotel, and try your luck to see if you can meet RT6 by chance.

This is Song Lan's next plan. Since he has to stay in prison for a period of time, food, clothing, housing and transportation must be taken into consideration, and the common currency of the coalition government does not apply here. The prisoners have created a unique set of monetary system.

However, the appearance of a petite figure disrupted all his plans.

When he followed the crowd out of the arena, a petite figure flashing past in the distance caught his attention.

The petite girl stood out in the D-area where demons were rampant. She was wrapped in a windbreaker and hood, which blocked her face. This was to avoid the ubiquitous surveillance cameras in the D-area.

The girl seemed to notice Song Lan's eyes. After turning her face and glancing at her with her peripheral vision, she took the initiative to stay away from the crowd and walked towards a more remote alley.

For some unknown reason, the spectators who left the arena were all in groups, intentionally or unintentionally staying away from those remote corners.

Seeing this, Song Lan hesitated.

If you have to count, encountering RT6 by chance is not a high priority.

But they have come. According to the law of conservation of character, the number of "rare monsters in the wild" that everyone encounters every day is limited. Once a plan is missed, RT6 will probably not be seen again for the next whole day. Refreshed.

Thinking of this, Song Lan had to change her plan temporarily, left the crowd and chased towards the alley where the petite figure disappeared.

Remote and dark.

There is also a vague smell of blood. RT6 is very good at picking places. At first glance, this place is very suitable for secret joints.

The bones left by unknown creatures in the trash can add a strange feeling to the alley.

The petite figure stopped and waited for them in the deepest part of the alley.

"Just say what you have to say."

Song Lan broke the silence and said, "Did you have another quarrel with the 'Emperor'? I can help you mediate."

Both he and Lu Xiang have known RT6's character for a long time. She is not forgiving in words, but in fact she cares about everything about the "Emperor". However, the "Emperor" has the attributes of a steely straight man - and in a physical sense. Of steel, no, to be more precise, it transcends steel and reaches the realm of alloy straight men.

However, for the future happiness of her good friend, Song Lan is still willing to help.

"'Emperor'... Yes, I do have a grudge with him."

RT6's voice seemed a little unnatural. He turned his back to Song Lan and trembled a few times. His voice gradually turned back to a sharp and harsh voice, "But there is no need to negotiate. Since you kindly followed me all the way here, , just do me one more favor, I like you very much, I have a hunch that as long as I swallow you into my stomach, I will complete an unprecedented evolution!"

The ink-colored tentacles blocked the way in, and more and more flesh-and-blood creations emerged, turning the entire alley into a monster's lair in an instant.

"Don't worry, after that, I will personally let the 'Emperor' come down to accompany you!"

Small theater its three hundred and twenty-two:

A certain day of a certain year, a certain month, a Tuesday, afternoon

Before getting off work that day, Lu Xiang came to the chairman's office in a furious manner.

She must correct people's prejudices!

"Dong dong dong——"

"Please come in."

The chairman of the review raised his eyes and saw Lu Xiang with a straight face, who was also shocked by her aura.

"President of the Senate, I think the Senate currently has deep-rooted prejudices against the issue of love, which is not conducive to the long-term development of various departments!"

This is a serious question.

Before she came, she read a statistic that showed that the marriage rate in all civil service departments of the coalition government was less than 20%. In fact, this statistic has been declining since twenty years ago, and the fertility rate is about to fall below the bottom.

The ban on office romance is only one of the reasons. More importantly, people have deep-rooted prejudices that love will destroy their careers and bring them misfortune. Most of these 20% also include political marriages, among which Most of them came from the "old aristocracy" who valued inheritance.

“So which of our views do you think are motivated by bias?”

"It's time-consuming, troublesome, and labor-intensive. It takes up a lot of time and makes you distracted when you go to work, which greatly affects work efficiency."

Lu Xiang said at once, "You should be talking about Song Lan, but in fact, even if they don't fall in love, he will never change his mind!"

"No."

The chairman of the review shook his head and gave an unexpected answer, "Unfortunately, Minister Lu, we are talking about you."

"……Eh?"

"In the past year, you took advantage of your position to condone Song Lan 371 times."
