You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 17 Prison Break? Kidnapping?
It was already seven o'clock in the evening when Chi Ping returned home. The days were long in the summer, and it was not yet completely dark.

A hooded figure had been waiting here for a long time. The twilight shone in from the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him, and the face under the hood could not be seen clearly.

It’s just that his tall and broad arms give people an inexplicable sense of oppression. Although he is sitting, he gives people a feeling of being looked down upon.

When Chi Ping opened the door, he met his face.

"Have you eaten?" Chi Ping asked. The mysterious person in front of him was Huo Ba.

Hearing this, the latter raised his head, revealing the alloy mask under his hood.

"I've eaten." Huoba took off his mask and said, "I came across an organization called the Star City Freedom Front."

"Oh?" Chi Ping changed out of his work clothes and gestured for him to explain the matter clearly.

"I ran into them during an 'event'."

"Activity" refers to vigilante activities as an executioner. Ikehira occasionally wears a mask and goes out to work as a vigilante, and the two of them share the identity of an executioner.

As we all know, Batman is also known as Gotham's Little Executioner.

"They asked me to join one of their operations and offered me a large sum of money."

"What activity?" Chi Ping guessed it was to rescue Yin Tianzheng. "Are you participating?"

"They haven't told me yet; I didn't participate, but I took the money."

"You didn't participate, but you still took the money?" This guy Huoba was not like this before.

"correct."

In Huoba's opinion, it's a good idea to rob illegal organizations. You're already doing illegal things, and you don't allow others to rob you?
Chi Ping then told Huo Ba what Mang had told him when he came to the prison today, and arranged for Huo Ba to visit the Freedom Front.

After sending Hoba away, Chi Ping opened the simulator and chose [No] when asked whether to help the Freedom Front with the rescue.

Considering the danger Yin Tianzheng would face after his release from prison, you not only decided not to help, but also arranged for Huo Ba to contact the Freedom Front and look for opportunities to disrupt the organization's actions.

[Because the Freedom Front is mobilizing personnel everywhere, the operation is extremely confidential. You think this rescue operation is likely to fail.]

[But even so, you still plan to go see the legendary figure locked in the lowest level of the prison the next day.]

-

Ah Heng is a prison guard at the Star City Federal Penitentiary. He comes from an ordinary family, and his looks and abilities are average. His only advantage in the dating market is his status as a prison guard.

So before getting married, he didn't dare quit his job, even though his job was to guard the legendary figure of Star City, Yin Tianzheng, along with his colleagues.

Even though Yin Tianzheng was wearing super-energy suppressors on his hands, feet, neck, waist and abdomen, and even though a micro-bomb was implanted in the back of Yin Tianzheng's neck;

Even though the person in charge of the detention is nominally the highest-ranking officer in the prison, Hoba, and even though the security level of this cell is comparable to that of the Federal Central Bank's vault.

He still applied for a transfer many times. After all, he had said before he went to prison that he would definitely be released in three years.

Then the first person he runs into when he comes out must be himself!

Thinking of this, Ah Heng felt that his end would definitely be terrible, and his daily work was mostly about coping and complaining.

After all, it’s just a few thousand yuan salary, what’s the point of risking your life?
"Hello, warden!" Seeing Chi Ping coming, Ah Heng immediately straightened his back and greeted him. The other guards also stopped being lazy after hearing the voice.

Chi Ping explained his purpose and they immediately led him to the seventh underground floor.

Unlike prisons on the ground, this place looks very technological, like the prison in X-Men.

The cell where Yin Tianzheng was imprisoned had three alloy gates, and the keys were in the hands of three people.

They are: the first person responsible, Huo Ba, the warden Chi Ping, and the head of the Xingcheng judicial system, Su Xueyi.

Through three doors, Chi Ping opened the communication system connected to the inside of the cell.

"Hello, Yin Tianzheng, are you there?" Chi Ping tapped the microphone and greeted him.

The person inside seemed too lazy to reply him, so Chi Ping called out twice more, but the same thing happened.

Ike Ping, annoyed, placed the stool on the ground, scraping the stool legs against the ground, creating a harsh sound, which he repeated over and over. The person inside could no longer bear it and responded:
"Talk about something!"

Inside the detention room, the large screen displayed the surveillance footage of the cell. Sixteen cameras showed the fifteen-square-meter cell very clearly.

Even if Yin Tianzheng wanted to squat in the toilet, he had to take off his pants in front of the camera. The conversation was full of energy, and Chi Ping immediately turned to Ah Heng and said:

"Don't stop that sound. Record it, amplify it tenfold, and keep playing it.

"Turn up the air conditioning inside for him, and don't give him any food or water during this period.

"Did you hear me?"

Ah Heng nodded repeatedly.

【Seeing the series of defensive measures, you always feel that something is missing.】

You also ordered prison guard Ah Heng to release potent anesthetic gas into the cell's ventilation ducts on schedule every day.

[You have decided to continuously drain Yin Tianzheng's mental and physical strength in the near future.]

[You began patrolling the cellblocks daily. Aside from Hoba's time with the Freedom Front, you kept him here the rest of the time.]

[Two days later, Yin Tianzheng in prison fell into a mental breakdown.]

【Five days later, Yin Tianzheng began to beg for mercy.】

[Seven days later, Yin Tianzheng was dying.]

[You issued the order: Wait until the enemy dies and rots inside before entering to collect the body. Any pleas for mercy, requests for information, or insults will be ignored.]

[You destroyed your and Hoba's two keys.]

Chi Ping thought that since the other party had already wandered into his prison, he should just kill him.

Don't do anything that will cause unnecessary trouble.

Soon, the Freedom Front took action.

[White Star has conveyed to you a message from the Freedom Front that they will launch an attack on the Star City Federal Prison at 4:00 AM tomorrow.]

[After receiving the undercover information, Mang also conveyed to you the information that the Freedom Front was about to break the prison.]

[Hoba informs you that the Freedom Front may be making some moves recently.]

When it comes to collecting intelligence, Hoba is indeed still a little naive.

At four o'clock the next morning, as agreed, Shirahoshi and Hoba arrived at the prison's outer gate as helpers of the Freedom Front.

Liu Qingshan, Mang, and the others had been waiting here since dark. From beginning to end, they only saw Bai Xing and the executioner.

The Super Power Bureau launched an attack on the two men, who passively fought back. After a long and intense battle, no Freedom Front appeared.

At six in the morning, the Freedom Front issued a notice to Star City officials via live broadcast.

After three years of planning, the Xingcheng Freedom Front has completely occupied the Geqingshan Dam. Two of the reservoir's three gates have been blown up, and the third has been bombed.

More than 30,000 residents downstream of the Geqingshan Dam, as well as dozens of employees inside the dam, have been taken hostage by the Freedom Front.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Front announced that they would count the number of people per game starting from the live broadcast.

Every three minutes, a dam employee was executed live. Before all 43 dam employees were executed, Yin Tianzheng was released from the Star City Federal Penitentiary. The dam was destroyed, flooding residents downstream.

[During the live broadcast, any of the following situations will be considered a breakdown in negotiations, and they will directly blow up the dam.]

[1. Anyone entering within three kilometers of the dam.]

【2. The live broadcast signal is disconnected for whatever reason.】

[3. The entire process of releasing Yin Tianzheng must be live-streamed. Any discovery of any fabrication will be considered a breakdown in negotiations.]

【4. Other attempts to rescue hostages.】

Officials in Star City panicked. The evacuation of 43 residents would take far longer than the execution of employees. Delaying the execution would ultimately implicate even more people.

The live broadcast put enormous pressure on Star City officials, and whether to release Yin Tianzheng became a hot topic of discussion.
