417: Geheros

Tidal Prison.

Knock, knock, knock—

"Warden? Warden, sir?"

"Strange, why hasn't the Warden woken up at this hour today?"

"I don't know... Could something have happened?"

The guards exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly.

"Forget it, let's just assume the Warden is taking a day off. We should just stick to our posts."

"What about the new prisoners today?"

"Put them in solitary confinement first."

"Understood."

Inside the room.

Geheros lay on the bed, his brows tightly furrowed, his face occasionally showing signs of struggle and pain.

"Ah—!!"

Suddenly, Geheros sat up abruptly, gasping for air as if he had just experienced a nightmare.

Not only that, but there were two clearly visible tear tracks at the corners of his eyes.

"It was... a dream."

Geheros touched the moisture at the corner of his eye in surprise.

"A strange dream..."

"Chen Yu..."

Geheros tried his best to recall the content of the dream, but like most dreams, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it.

There were only some fragmented pieces.

In the end, he shook his head helplessly and stood up.

Clang—

The moment he stood up, an item resembling a USB flash drive fell to the floor.

Geheros instinctively looked down, his pupils instantly contracting!

"Quantum... storage?!"

In an instant, Geheros's brows furrowed tightly, and his hair stood on end.

This thing, he... seemed to have dreamt of it in his dream!

Not a dream?

Geheros crouched down, slowly reached out, and picked up the quantum storage.

Acting under some strange impulse, he took off his glove and touched the quantum storage with his finger.

["heaven is round, earth is square" X7629]

[powerful vacuum cleaner X462]

[Impressionist painting X143]

[Sayyid's pocket watch X72]

[main battle tank model X371]

[top secret server X1]

An assortment of items dazzled Geheros.

Eventually, he locked his gaze on the single top secret server.

With a tap of his fingertip, the next second, an incredible scene made Geheros stagger back a few steps!

What was originally in graphical form, after the tap, instantly turned into data and then materialized!

"Now... is this really a dream or not?"

Everything happening before him started to make Geheros doubt whether he was still in a dream and hadn't woken up yet.

And whether the previous one was a dream within a dream.

He immediately pinched himself.

He could feel clear pain!

"This..."

"It's not a dream!"

Geheros walked up and placed his hand on the top secret server, able to touch a clear physical entity.

This miraculous phenomenon caused him to pick up the top secret server and start examining it.

Suddenly, strings of information and dynamic images popped up without warning!

["heaven is round, earth is square": Usage method, passive use; when receiving fatal damage, it can ignore all damage within 0.5 seconds]

[main battle tank model: After triggering according to the specified action, a main battle tank can be deployed on the spot]

[powerful vacuum cleaner: Click the button to activate; it can forcibly suck in target equipment and items, with infinite storage space]

[Impressionist painting: Place it in any location, and the scene in the painting will change according to the target scene, forming a physical camouflage; for example, if placed in front of a cave, the cave will be directly filled and camouflaged]

[Sayyid's pocket watch: Open the pocket watch to freeze bullets around you; cooldown is 0.5 seconds; only freezes bullets, other attacks are ineffective]

Seeing these video tutorials, as well as the various instructions and introductions, Geheros's mouth slowly opened wide.

Now there was no explanation that could account for everything before him.

In the end, Geheros put the top secret server aside.

After examining the quantum storage for a few moments, he finally put it into his pocket.

He needed time to digest all of this.

As for whether those items really had these abilities, he didn't plan on testing them for the time being.

He remembered clearly that a batch of new prisoners was arriving today.

And he was clearly late for work now.

It wouldn't be too late to test them after he finished his work and returned.

After quickly straightening his attire, Geheros put on his mask, pushed the door open, and left the room.

Cell block.

"Who says otherwise? Is there any Asara people who doesn't hate Hafke?"

"Exactly, any online discourse favorable to them gets traffic, while the opposite gets inexplicably censored."

"For sure, Hafke really has a grip on this."

Inside the cells, the prisoners were chatting idly out of boredom.

Most of the prisoners here were from the Asara region.

The content of their daily conversations basically revolved around Hafke and Asara.

"The Warden is here!"

Suddenly, someone shouted this, and in an instant, the entire cell block fell silent.

Only the sound of Geheros's footsteps remained.

Step, step—

Geheros walked down the hallway with his hands behind his back, and as he passed by the cells, he slightly turned his head and glanced inside.

With just one glance, the prisoner who had been speaking ill of Hafke just moments ago was immediately frightened until his legs went weak.

His body couldn't stop trembling.

After giving the other party a faint glance, Geheros continued walking forward.

Merely passing by brought an indelible sense of oppression to these prisoners.

It wasn't until Geheros had walked far away that the prisoners' breathing gradually returned to normal.

"Damn it..."

"Shh... keep it down, wait until he's further away."

Geheros walked all the way to the solitary confinement cells, and the guards, upon seeing him, hurriedly said respectfully:

"Warden, sir."

"Warden, sir."

Geheros waved his hand slightly.

"Let the new prisoners out and take them all to the interrogation room."

"Yes!"

"But... Warden, there's one prisoner who seems impossible to interrogate... he's a lunatic..."

"Oh?" Geheros paused slightly, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, take him to the interrogation room first."

"Yes."

Seeing this, the guards opened several solitary confinement doors one after another, and several prisoners were brought out one by one.

From one of the solitary confinement cells, manic laughter erupted.

Not only that, but it was also filled with poison gas.

"Hahahaha!"

In an instant, a black shadow dashed out from within!! It lunged directly at one of the guards!

Smack——!!

Just as he was about to touch the guard, a red glove gripped his throat, intercepting him in mid-air.

Then Geheros suddenly exerted force, slamming him heavily onto the ground.

Immediately after, he raised his right fist high and slammed a heavy punch into the black shadow's face.

Bang——!!

The latter instantly fell unconscious.

However, Geheros did not stop; he raised his right fist again, preparing to strike down again!

"Warden, sir! The higher-ups said this one cannot be killed!"

"He is a brain-machine interface test subject!"

"Ugh——!!"

Suddenly, a violent headache struck, and Geheros's raised fist froze in mid-air...

Immediately after, under the astonished gazes of the guards, Geheros clutched his head, gasping for air frantically!

After a while, Geheros gradually calmed down.

He didn't know why, but the moment that figure appeared, only one thought remained in Geheros's mind.

Kill him!

After forcing himself to calm down, Geheros turned his head to look at the unconscious black shadow.

"What is his name..."

The guard was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly explained:

"Raven."

Geheros nodded slightly and wiped his gloves.

"Who was responsible for putting on his handcuffs and leg shackles?"

"Who conducted the body search?"

"If the solitary confinement room hadn't been opened just now, he would have poisoned himself to death inside!"

Hearing this, one guard tremblingly raised his hand.

"Deduct one month's salary; let this not happen again."

"Yes..."

After Geheros left, the guards exchanged glances and began to lead the prisoners to the interrogation room one by one.

"That scared the hell out of me just now... Thank goodness the Warden was there..."

"But he was so cool just now, the Warden is that fierce?"

"You're new here, right?"

"Yes."

"Then that's no surprise."

"Why do you think the Warden's gloves are red?"

"But come to think of it, the Warden feels a bit strange today..."

"He seemed like he really wanted to beat Raven to death just now..."
