Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 317 Deeper

It is reported that the debt collector's madness symptoms lasted for half an hour. With the "comfort" of the mechanical prison guards, he finally calmed down.

The price he paid was that his life energy went through another round of depletion. He began to become taciturn, and his reactions seemed to become half a beat slower.

After receiving the information from the production team, Owl couldn't help but worry about the current situation in the prison. This didn't seem to be an "operation" without any side effects. Compared with a frontal lobotomy, the only difference was that the side effects were less severe, which could barely be considered a slight improvement.

He now couldn't help but begin to suspect that the prisoners on Prison Planet were just the Judge's first batch of guinea pigs, and that this artificial intelligence would sooner or later popularize this technology and eventually apply it to everyone - just like the research teams that developed the prefrontal lobotomy surgery and won awards for it.

The way of thinking of humans and artificial intelligence is different. Perhaps in the eyes of artificial intelligence, eliminating strong emotional fluctuations is a beneficial choice for humans.

This means they have to speed up.

Owl's journalistic intuition told him that once this trial was over, something irreversible would happen on the Prison Star.

"One of my informants got some gossip. Although he doesn't know the exact location of the Eisenberg-Adler prison area, he can at least help us rule out some wrong answers."

He spread the map of the Prison Star prison area on the table and drew crosses on the excluded areas with a red marker.

Many people were sent in to get Eisenberg out of the cell. They tried every possible way but were still unable to get close to the prison area where Eisenberg was located. They could only determine through the process of elimination that Eisenberg and another prisoner with a sentence of 1721 were imprisoned in a deeper cell.

"That is, somewhere deeper than here."

Owl rested his hands on the table, his expression extremely solemn.

The deepest known prison area is D72, also known as Black Lake.

The entire D72 prison area only holds three prisoners, all of whom are unforgivable villains serving sentences of more than 800 years. The prison area is shrouded in darkness all year round. It is a very special darkness and no light can penetrate the web it has woven.

The prisoners' cells are cabins by the lake, and surrounding them and the elevator is the endless lake.

No one knows what is hidden in the Black Lake, not even the prison guards.

Darkness and the unknown are the "gifts" that the Judge left for these three people.

Since nightfall, the three have not seen the light for decades. Perhaps their vision has long since degenerated in the darkness. The prison guards who have come into contact with the three described them as being like wood. Even if their names are called, there will be no response. The only way to determine that the three prisoners are still alive is to observe their breathing and slight movements.

Owl said, "I know it sounds crazy, but the informant speculated that the way to get to the deeper prison is to jump into the Black Lake, hold your breath and swim to the deepest part, and maybe you can find the entrance to another prison area."

"Is the source of the news reliable?"

Duan Mingyuan had to raise questions.

This sounds like a group of people who could never find Eisenberg's whereabouts, and finally had to make up a location for Eisenberg and put him in a place that could never be reached by conventional means.

"I can only say that before he went to jail, that guy was also a war correspondent and my colleague."

Owl paused, deflated under Duan Mingyuan's probing gaze, and could only say awkwardly, "Well, I don't know either. He mentioned that the group of people he wanted to rescue had somehow reached the D72 prison area, and had obtained a set of diving equipment through a mysterious force."

This mysterious power naturally refers to the prison guards. Places like this where the work is easy and most of the people transferred here have some family background are the easiest to breed corruption.

Owl's former colleague did not mention the names of these people, nor did he explain who exactly wanted to get Eisenberg-Adler out of prison, but he did tell the story of what happened to them.

"After they went into the water, they never showed up again. No one in the prison ever mentioned their names again. It was as if they had never existed."

If nothing unexpected happens, they will be on the list of the few deaths in Prison Star Prison in recent years.

"This at least shows that there must be something hidden in the Black Lake. Otherwise, even if they didn't find Eisenburg, they wouldn't have drowned in the lake with diving equipment on their backs."

This also violates the prison's long-standing rules - in other prison areas, no matter how dying you are, the mechanical prison guards will save you. When you wake up, you will find yourself lying on the bed in the infirmary, seeing the white ceiling above your head, and returning to civilized society for a short time. When your condition stabilizes, they will mercilessly kick you back to hell again.

"Whatever is hidden in there, it is important enough to make the AI ​​violate its own principles and shut up forever."

After saying that, Owl and Duan Mingyuan looked at each other.

As he said at the beginning, it sounds crazy.

Leaving one's fate to the unknown and luck seems to fit the melody of the D72 prison area.

He fished out a prison guard ID card from his pocket, a smile on his face, "But it's worth a try, isn't it?"

Owl had spent a lot of effort to get this ID card, and he hoped that his efforts would be worth it.

Universal Company hopes to transform Prison Planet into the most bizarre and fun entertainment venue in the entire universe, but that is not Owl's goal.

He has never been a law-abiding person, otherwise he would not have fallen to the point of being hunted down by the Yinlian Family.

Darkness and the unknown have a fatal attraction for journalists like him.

Perhaps all the secrets of this planet are hidden under the Black Lake in the D72 prison area, and he is very sure that with Duan Mingyuan's skills, he will not become one of the missing people like those before.

"I can get a full set of diving equipment and matching lighting tools. Of course, in addition to these, we also need courage and some luck."

"At least it's better than just sitting here and doing nothing."

Duan Mingyuan nodded and said, "You go and prepare the diving equipment and lighting tools, and I will try to get some luck."

"……What?"

Three question marks appeared above the owl's head. "You should know that the last two are just to make up the numbers, right? The purpose is to make this action sound more mission-oriented."

"I can get lucky."

Duan Mingyuan tried to use the owl's language so that he could understand, "I also know an informant. She should be able to help us get enough luck."
