The man surveyed the surrounding mess, his hoarse, cold voice saying, "Clean it up."
"Yes, Warden," the Prison Guard respectfully replied.
"How many new people arrived today?" the man asked.
The Prison Guard lowered his head. "A total of 58 arrived. A few disobedient ones were already dealt with, so now 43 remain."
"Make sure they understand the rules and don't cause any more trouble," the Warden said, about to leave.
At this moment, the prisoner directly facing the Warden suddenly shouted, "I haven't committed any crime! What right do you have to lock me up here? Let me out immediately! You sissy! You look like a woman..."
Before he could finish speaking, a swift, dark purple Touch Hand shot out from the Warden.
It went straight for the man's neck.
With a 'squelch', the man clutched his neck, his eyes wide with disbelief.
The dark purple Touch Hand retracted, disdainfully shaking the blood onto the ground.
The Prison Guard shivered in fright and immediately bowed to the man. "Apologies, Warden, this is a new prisoner, he hasn't learned the rules yet."
"Teach him well. If there's a next time, you'll be the one to die." The Warden's voice was cold and unperturbed, his steps not faltering in the slightest. He walked away in his leather shoes, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
This made Shen Jiahe, who had been about to speak, instantly shut her mouth.
Clearly, here, apart from the prisoners, no one was a normal human.
The Prison Guard issued a few more warnings before turning to leave.
Fortunately, because Lin Yuanzhou had previously said he was the BOSS of a Weird copy, she had specifically searched online for information on the matter and had some understanding.
Shen Jiahe closed her eyes to organize her thoughts when a cheerful voice suddenly came from beside her, "You're new, aren't you?"
Hearing the voice, Shen Jiahe opened her eyes and looked over, seeing a boy around twenty years old sitting on the bed, smiling at her.
A hint of wariness in her eyes, she nodded and replied, "Mm."
The boy got off the bed and walked towards her, greeting her with a smile, "My name is Ding Dong. This is my third time entering a dungeon, so I'm quite experienced. Big sister, you can ask me anything you want!"
Shen Jiahe pursed her lips and softly asked, "If I get injured or die in this dungeon, will it affect me in reality?"
Ding Dong's lips curved into a smile as he looked at Shen Jiahe, his voice a bit casual, "Big sister, you really know how to ask questions. You got straight to the key point."
"We enter the dungeon with our physical bodies, so if we get injured in the dungeon, the injuries will be carried out."
"As for death... you'll just die in the dungeon and won't be able to leave."
As Ding Dong spoke, Shen Jiahe's brows furrowed deeper.
Ding Dong's tone shifted, and he added, "However, after clearing the dungeon, the dungeon will give corresponding reward items and points. If Big sister is lucky, you might even draw some life-saving items."
Shen Jiahe continued to ask, "Then what counts as clearing the dungeon?"
Ding Dong smiled, his lips curving. "When the dungeon officially begins, the system will tell you the clear conditions. However, in every dungeon, as long as the Weird BOSS dies, the dungeon is considered cleared."
He paused slightly, then added, "The side quests in the dungeon are complex. If you can complete some side content, you might get extra rewards. Big sister, do you have any other questions?"
Shen Jiahe looked at Ding Dong, her eyes slightly narrowed. "One last question: why are you willing to tell me all this?"
She didn't believe in inherent human goodness. The child in front of her didn't look old, but from his previous demeanor, it was clear he wasn't simple.
Ding Dong extended his hand through the iron bars in a friendly manner. "It's hard to clear a dungeon; it's very difficult to do it alone. I want to find a smart person to cooperate with, and Big sister is clearly the right choice."
Shen Jiahe lowered her eyes. She currently knew nothing about this dungeon.
The Warden who had just arrived looked too much like Lin Yuanzhou! She wanted to investigate it thoroughly!
Although she didn't know what purpose the person in front of her had in approaching her, Shen Jiahe still nodded in agreement.
"Okay, happy cooperation."
Seeing that Shen Jiahe had no intention of extending her hand, Ding Dong withdrew his hand without minding at all.
He glanced at the time on the wall and softly said, "Time is almost up."
Shen Jiahe was slightly puzzled. What time was almost up?
'Beep beep beep'!!!
A piercingly loud alarm sounded, and the entire prison glowed red.
The prison doors that had been holding them all opened at the same time.
Ding Dong came out and walked up to Shen Jiahe. "Big sister, let's go. Let's find clues to clear the dungeon."
Facing a stranger she met for the first time, Shen Jiahe remained vigilant.
She took a step and walked out of the cell.
The moment she stepped out of the cell, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in the air.
【Welcome players to the A-level dungeon—Island Prison】
【Dungeon clear conditions are as follows:
1. Kill the Island Prison BOSS—Warden
2. Survive 7 days in the Island Prison dungeon
3. Find the Warden's lover and bring her to the Warden】
【Dungeon officially begins!】
As the mechanical voice faded, the previously locked main gate swung open, and players swarmed out.
Ding Dong was about to follow them, but Shen Jiahe called out, "Wait."
"What's wrong, Big sister?" Ding Dong turned to look.
Shen Jiahe looked towards the main gate. "With such a big commotion here, it's impossible for the Prison Guards not to react. If we go out through the main gate, we might run into those Weird."
As she spoke, Shen Jiahe surveyed her surroundings and noticed a small door.
"Let's go through the small door."
The prison as a whole was oval-shaped, and in addition to the main gate, there was a small door on each side.
Shen Jiahe walked towards the small door, and a few others also secretly came over.
As soon as the two walked out of the small door, a series of shrill screams suddenly came from behind.
"Ahhh!!"
"Help! Help!!"
"Let go of me! What kind of monsters are these!"
Immediately after, a broadcast voice came: "Prisoners are collectively escaping, prisoners are collectively escaping! All Prison Guards mobilize! Kill on sight upon encountering prisoners!"
After the broadcast, those who had been tentatively stepping out all ran like mad.
In the live stream channel at this moment.
Bullet comments flooded in.
【I didn't expect this batch of newcomers to be quite smart; they actually weren't led astray by Brother Ding.】
【Yeah, but this newcomer has really bad luck. Their first time entering a dungeon, and it's an A-level dungeon. Island Prison is a battle royale! You need not only a good brain but also good stamina, otherwise, you'll easily be found and killed by the Weird!】
【This newcomer is quite good-looking. It would be a shame if they died just like that. If I were in the dungeon, I'd definitely have some fun first! Hahaha!】
【Give it up! The dungeon BOSS has been acting crazy lately, especially irritable. Players are almost indiscriminately attacked if they're encountered by the BOSS! If you don't have life-saving items, just wait to die!】
【I'm really looking forward to seeing how long this newcomer can survive in Brother Ding's hands~】
【Brother Ding loves to tease his prey and won't personally make a move. If this newcomer is smart enough, they might just survive this dungeon.】
