Endless Silver Machine

The Petak Prison in the capital of the Bis Empire was severely damaged during the "Cross-Border War". The prisoners rioted collectively under artillery fire, which accelerated its collapse.

The original prison ruins are now buried deep underground. But even in such peaceful times, a country would have at least one prison.

The newly built prison is located on the site of the original Petak Prison. It retains its former name and its appearance is exactly the same as it was a hundred years ago.

It's just that the flat land is now surrounded by lakes, with a radius of more than 60 kilometers separating the prison from the land.

The New Petak Prison was built on an isolated island and was used to imprison special criminals, most of whom were magicians. Therefore, the prison was always surrounded by a city defense barrier that could not be entered or exited at will.

While the students of Shigetsuki Academy were still enjoying the afterglow of the first day of the "Moonflower Festival", alarm bells were ringing on this isolated island.

"There are only two intruders, repeat that... Goo!"

The microphone hung from the table, and the wire attached to the tail dragged it from side to side in mid-air.

"When did you get here?"

The remaining person in the room opened fire as if losing his mind, but the gunfire stopped after the bullets left a series of bullet marks on the walls and ceiling.

"It's getting quiet here..."

The girl stood alone in the dark room, with only the occasional spark from the equipment damaged by sputtering bullets.

She raised her hand, sparks illuminated the sharp claws extending from her fingers, and the dark red blood began to dry up.

"So dirty..."

Whether it was the blood stains on her nails or the smell of blood in the room, the girl felt uncomfortable all over.

"How strange..."

In my memory, my body should have been accustomed to this color and smell. Why do you still feel like this now?

"Ah, I still need to find daddy!"

Just as an option to leave here appeared, the girl pushed open the distorted door and left the room.

The air in the corridor outside the room is also turbid, not much fresher than inside the room. The girl covered her nose and walked quickly through the corridor.

The corridor extending from the door of the communication room was also covered in dark red and fishy stench.

The warden is now in August, and even if the news of the invasion of Petak Prison reaches his ears, he will not be able to come back for a while.

The other magicians who stayed here were no obstacle to this man who was still wearing beachwear in the spring.

As the only existing prison in the Bisi Empire, the national magicians who can guard it must be elite level, comparable to a well-trained army.

Especially in the face of this kind of prison robbery attack, they can still deal with it calmly.

Therefore, it is not that the defensive side is too weak, but that the offensive side is too strong.

The girl jumped up and ran towards the source of the earthquake that caused the entire prison to shake.

Suddenly, the wall beside him was shattered by a huge force, revealing a huge hole.

Her figure nimbly passed through the splashing rubble and rushed through the hole to the other side of the wall.

"dad!"

Sure enough, the person she was looking for was on the other side of the wall, and the girl opened her arms excitedly and ran over.

"It turns out to be Ya, I was shocked."

The unemployed uncle who was supposed to be working lazily in a tavern in Pufa Town to pay off his debts was now here.

Just as Gurley was about to welcome Ya's safe return with a hug, his eyes suddenly noticed her blood-stained hands.

Yaya also noticed Gurley's gaze, slowed down his steps, and hid his hands behind his back in a panic.

"Did you kill someone again?"

There was a hint of anger in Gurley's tone.

"They shot me first..."

"Before coming here, didn't I warn you that you would be attacked?"

"Um……"

"Have I ever stressed not to kill people, stop there?"

"Um……"

Ya's mood hit rock bottom, and she originally hoped to be praised.

Of course, Gurley noticed Ya's mood swings, and he scratched his hair nervously.

"……bring it on."

"Eh?"

"Give me a victory hug."

"But I'm very dirty..."

Ya's clothes were not as dirty as she said, not even stained with a trace of blood.

She felt that her existence was very dirty.

"I wouldn't have picked you up if you were dirty. Come on."

Gurli half-bent down and once again took the initiative to open his arms to Ya.

The smile slowly returned to Ya's face. She took out the handkerchief in her pocket and wiped the coagulated blood stains on her claws. Then she retracted her claws. Her hands were no different from those of ordinary girls.

After making herself a little cleaner, Yacai threw herself into Geli's arms.

"Dad, I have completed the task you gave me."

"If it can be done without killing anyone, I'll be satisfied."

"I don't want to kill anyone...my chest feels so uncomfortable..."

Her listless tone made Gurley startled for a moment, and then he raised the corners of his mouth.

"It's already a big improvement for you to have such an idea. I take back the preface, it's amazing!"

Gurli suddenly changed his previous attitude, laughed boldly and touched Ya's hair.

Yaya was also surprised when she suddenly got a performance that she had no hope for.

In the end, she happily accepted the unexpected reward.

"Okay, it's time to get down to business."

After giving Ya the reward, Gurley glanced at the fallen guards around him. They all just lost consciousness.

"When I found it, the phone seemed to be connected."

"What did they say?"

"I didn't pay much attention, I forgot..."

"Probably reporting our numbers."

"It seems like this! Dad is so awesome!"

"If it were me, I would do it first." Geli pondered for a moment, then patted Ya on the shoulder and motioned for her to follow, "Hurry up."

"Aren't there any enemies anymore?"

"The enemy is coming soon. If the Imperial City Defense Bureau doesn't know the number of intruders, they will have to think more about it during the operation, but there is no need for it now."

"Did I go late..."

"Don't worry, at least now they don't know the situation in the prison. Your actions are meaningful."

"Well……"

Gurley's comfort still makes Ya unable to mind.

There are independent rooms on both sides of the empty corridor. The flow of magic is sealed in the room, which is a special cell where magicians are imprisoned.

The shock just now did not make the criminals detained here become restless. They would not be surprised by this level of chaos.

Scenes more shocking than this kind of chaos are not uncommon for criminals here.

"Here, here." Gurley stopped in front of the target's room and knocked hard on the door, "Can the people inside hear you?"

No reaction, it's probably just a body inside.

"Dad, it seems there is no one."

"Whether there is anyone or not, let's open the door and take a look."

Gurley raised his fist and turned the iron door of the cell into a piece of scrap metal.

The iron door that flew away with a punch hit the opposite wall and hit the bed next to the wall.

"There's really no one."

Gurley looked around the room at the door, and there was indeed no one there.

"I'll go in and look for it."

Just as Ya was about to step into the room, he was pulled out by Gurli by the back of his collar.

"Don't go in easily, you can't use magic power there."

"I don't need magic."

Ya looked puzzled.

"I know...don't go inside anyway."

Gurli didn't want Ya to enter the room because there was surveillance in the room.

The communication room that Ya destroyed only manages the surveillance in the corridor, and the surveillance in the room operates independently.

If she were told this fact, she would definitely be resentful of herself for not destroying all the surveillance.

The iron door pressing against the bed suddenly moved, and Ya's attention was drawn to that side.

"What the hell... are you abusing prisoners..."

A man with messy hair emerged from under the iron door. If he hadn't been hit by the iron door, he would probably have looked neater.

"It turns out there is someone here. If someone is there, please respond."

"I'm sleeping! Don't you know how to knock on the door?"

"I knocked."

"It's bad luck for me..." The man crawled out from under the deformed iron door, "...You are not from the prison."

"Guessed it right."

"Can I help you?"

"I'm here to make a deal with you, Mr. Weir of the Nemesis Society."

"oh?"

Will raised his eyebrows, and his gaze at the two people at the door became much sharper.

"Let me state in advance that I have nothing to do with your Nemesis Society."

Gurli raised his hands to show the man his sincerity in negotiating. Ya next to him also raised his hands following his example.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Weir waved his hand, not interested in continuing to doubt, "To put it simply, you are here to rob the prison, right?"

"That's probably it."

Ya nodded in affirmation.

"Can I go out first?"

"You'll be able to use magic when you get out, so let's just talk about it."

"What do you want?"

"The information you copied from the underground of the Imperial City Defense Bureau."

"That thing... why do so many people want it?"

"Has anyone else asked for you?"

"Nothing. I have a question, what are you going to do with that thing?"

"I'm here to rescue you. Anyway, you still have backup, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"That's right." Weir knew that if he continued to ask, Gurli wouldn't answer, "I can give you that thing, but I have one more request."

"tell me the story."

"Take me to Misty."

"Misty...oh, that little girl? It's not too troublesome to have one more person. You can go and take her away with you."

Will and Misty were separated in two different rooms, and there was no news about her every day. Will was already extremely anxious.

Originally, he was going to make this request from the beginning, but Veer held back. You cannot let an unknown counterparty know what you care about most, otherwise she may become a bargaining chip in the transaction.

The whole prison shook again.

"People from the Imperial City Defense Bureau should be here, hurry up!"

Gurley's expression turned serious. If the opponent is the main force of the Imperial City Defense Bureau, the chance of winning from here is slim.

"Wait, how are you going to let Misty and I escape? We're surrounded now, right?"

If escape cannot be ensured, as long as Weir pretends to be a victim and stays here, he will not be targeted by the Imperial City Defense Bureau, and he can find another opportunity to escape in the future.

"Go downstairs." Gurley stepped on the ground. "Down below are the ruins of Petak Prison. There is a road leading to the ground."

"Will you come together too?"

"Now we are in the same boat. As for whether it is a mud boat or not, I don't know."

"Then it's a deal. Let's go and take Misty with us."

——Two criminals escaped from Petak Prison last night, and two other prison robbers were unidentified. Several people were killed and injured.

The next day, the news from the Bis Empire reported this.
