Chapter VIII Quid pro quo

Enthusiastic shouts rang out, and some of the prisoners who were in the mood to watch the excitement dispersed to the edge of the circular underground square, and one by one the prisoners who rushed towards Jean roared and waved their fists.

Jean remained unmoved, a tall prisoner who leaned over with his arm had come to Jean's eyes, he suddenly turned to the left and flashed the impact, instantly pressed the prisoner's neck, and pressed the tall prisoner's head into the dirt, making a loud noise, and the dirt directly dented a piece.

After Jean stood up, he observed the prisoners around him who still wanted to continue to pounce, they had been suppressed for a long time, and there was no place to vent the countless anger and sadness in their hearts, and some prisoners would have mental problems for a while, and finally they could only be ruthlessly thrown outside the barrier area to fend for themselves.

With a snort, there was a strong wind behind him, and the moment Jean felt it, he had already turned around, and two prisoners came from the left and right sides, and some prisoners who were waiting for the opportunity to move also began to approach.

With two thumping punches, the two prisoners who were about to hit Jean left and right punched them in the face, flew out and knocked several prisoners behind them into the air.

There were a large number of mutants among these prisoners, and many of them threw punches with more than a ton, but in front of Jean, many of the prisoners looked very nervous.

"What's the matter, that's the end of it?"

Jean grinned, and immediately several prisoners couldn't help but rush up, Jean suddenly stepped forward, dodging the prisoners' punches and kicks with great accuracy, and the movement gently slashed through the middle of the five prisoners, and a rock with a diameter of more than one meter flew over the moment he just stood up.

The prisoners behind him who were still trying to fight back panicked, and the smoke from the cigarette in Jean's mouth was violently scurrying, and the prisoners behind him had already fallen to three people because of their unstable shape.

There were bursts of excited cheers all around, Jean clasped his hands and glared at the rock, and for a moment the rock froze in the air, and the cheers around him stopped, and many of the new prisoners looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

Jean smiled, his eyes glared slightly, and in an instant the rock in front of him turned into powder, and the dust fluttered, and the powder flew in the air, and the prisoners who were still on the periphery and planned to take advantage of the attack seemed to wilt, and some of them knelt directly on the ground.

"No matter how many times, as I said, every time I come here, as long as you can knock me down, all of you can return to the sun again."

Jean said and walked slowly, but by this time the prisoners, who had been full of anger just now, got out of the way one after another, and walked past a prisoner who was kneeling on the ground, and the prisoner looked up and looked at Jean with sad eyes.

"Is it fun to play us monkeys? Are you happy, Demon Jean, it's impossible to win against a monster like you, we'll only have to ....... for the rest of our lives"

Jean stopped, leaned down, and looked at the prisoner with his hands in his pockets.

"You should have realized long before you decided to sin that what you have done has threatened the peace of the peaceful life that humanity has re-established, and now everything is just a little punishment for you, and you deserve it."

There was a whoosh scream, and an emaciated prisoner who could no longer bear it rushed towards Jean, who grabbed him by the neck with his backhand and lifted him up.

"After this burrowing plan is over, you will get an amnesty from Congress, but if you continue to commit crimes during this period, there is only one way to die, and the next time you come, you can think about how to knock me down."

For a while, the prisoners, who had been full of sorrow, shouted and cursed again, and the scolding was still very ugly, and even the guards on the city wall behind him were a little unbearable, but Jean still kept smiling.

"Pretty good deal, isn't it? By the time the project is over, most of you will be 70 years old at most, and you will have 80 years left to live, so think about how you will survive the rest of the time, and if you work hard, the project will end early, and you will be able to get an early amnesty. ”

But at this time, a prisoner with strange red eyes who looked like he was only in his 20s clapped his hands and walked out.

"Jean, you say that nicely, but what is the real situation? Also, you said that as long as you can knock you down, all of us here can be free, this sentence is in a reciprocal situation, and now we are all wearing neck rings, and the mutation ability cannot be used, but you can use it, which is obviously unfair. ”

Immediately, there was a burst of mockery all around, and Jean stood up, smiled, and turned his head.

"I'll ask you to remove the neck collar of the prisoner who wants to fight me."

Suddenly, the guards on the city wall looked frightened, but Jewell smiled helplessly, and Song Xuan next to him helped his glasses and sighed without saying a word.

The four walls of this special plaza below are made of special memory metal, and even if it is damaged, it will recover in a short time.

"Section chief, even if it's the legendary Jean-sama, you can't ....... like this"

Jewell looked at the many newcomers in the room who had only been working for two or three years, and said with a smile.

"Do as Jean says."

The atmosphere in the underground square was ignited in an instant, and one by one the mutants were lifted from their necks, excitedly dancing with their abilities, most of them were flames, body hardening, strength and speed types, and there were some special bodies that could be discharged or some of the guys with telekinesis.

More and more mutants who were going to join the battle were removed from their necks, and Jean stood motionless in the middle, smoking cigarettes, and in a short time, nearly hundreds of mutants lifted their necks and looked like they were gearing up.

It's just that the red-eyed young man who just took the lead didn't lift the collar, but returned to the cave with a grin, there are many small caves dug out by hand on the cave wall, which are the rooms where these prisoners rest, dug out by themselves, and there will be a larger number of prisoners who do not plan to participate in the battle and snicker on the periphery.

"You really don't feel comfortable for a day without doing things, didn't you already know it from the beginning?"

A sturdy woman with her hair came out of a cave, quite pretty, standing outside the cave with her hands folded with a serious face, and an old man next to her also came out, yawning.

"Hahaha, of course I know, their odds are zero, haha, those rookie stupid people have no idea how ruthless Jean's bastard is, I've learned it countless times, just want to have some fun."

Sure enough, the red-eyed young man said, and many old prisoners had already begun to bet on today's food, and all of them bet on Jean to win, and only those new prisoners bet on the more than 100 mutants to win.

All kinds of clamor were everywhere, and a large number of prisoners were waiting to see a good show, but Jean was still standing in the middle unmoved, looking at the mutants approaching him, many of them already had small bumps on their bodies.

"Kill you."

A mutant slammed his fist into Gin, which had swelled like a balloon.

With a bang, Jean dodged his fist sideways, his fist had already hit the prisoner's abdomen, the prisoner rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, and the other prisoners began to rush up, and suddenly a ball of fire rushed towards Jean, and he smiled and took off his coat.

Explosions rang out, accompanied by muffled blows, and mutants fell to the ground as they approached Jean.

The scene became extremely chaotic, and Jean walked freely among the mutants, flickering as dexterously as a needle, and all the mutants who approached him were knocked out with a single blow, unconscious.

Gradually, the voice began to quiet down, Jean pinched the head of a mutant with one hand, pinched it vigorously, the mutant's thick arm clasped Jean's arm tightly, but Jean's arm was like steel, and the last mutant immediately lost consciousness.

Jean picked up the coat that had fallen aside, put it on, and strode up, cheers rang out all around, the old prisoners won, and the new prisoners stared at Jean in horror and incredulity.

"Haha, it's really still your style, Jean, not bad."

Walking to the entrance of the cavern, the red-eyed young prisoner clapped his hands and laughed as he leaned in, and suddenly Jean grabbed his head and pressed him towards the hard wall on the left.

With a bang, the red-eyed prisoner whimpered, tears pouring out of his eyes.

"I'll kill you next time I do something."

Jean looked at the woman in front of him with a cold voice, the woman smiled and got out of the way, and the old man behind him sighed and smiled and made a gesture of please, and soon the fainted prisoners put on special collars again, and the prisoners began to go back to work one after another.

Jean followed the old man into the old man's own room, at the bottom of a small narrow passage, there was a room of more than 30 square meters, in which the furniture was made of stone, and a lot of liquid food was stored.

The old man looked in good spirits, his hair was gray, his skin was pale, there were severe dark circles at the corners of his eyes, he was wearing a neck collar, and he was smiling kindly.

The old man's number is 0001, and he is the biggest offender in Bright City, no one knows his name, and his only title is the wise man.

"Time has passed really long, Jean hasn't seen him for about a year in a blink of an eye!"

The wise man said that Jean leaned against the wall and took out a cigarette, and the wise man leaned over and asked for one with a smirk, but Jean rejected the wise man with an angry look.

"If you want a cigarette, tell me what you know."

The wise man shook his head.

"It's too cheap to get my information for just a cigarette."

Jean sneered, and the wise man continued.

"Threats are useless, you know Jean, I'm a hard bone by nature, of course I don't want to suffer from flesh and skin, this time I want to make a deal with you, if I give you some information, you have to take me out of here, how about it?"

"Didn't you wake up? Wise man, I am afraid that 10,000 death sentences will not be enough to offset the crimes you have committed in the past. ”

The wise man smiled, revealing his blackened and mutilated teeth, and there was a touch of weirdness in his smile.

"If you don't do it well this time, you may die."

In this prison, although the prisoners can't get out, the management can't keep an eye on these prisoners 24 hours a day, so through some loopholes, and even some guards will have some private transactions with the prisoners, so the prison has a certain connection with the outside world, and items belonging to the outside world can often be found in the prisoners' rooms. So this phenomenon has turned a blind eye to now.

"Think about Jean, taking me out is the only weight you can trade with me this time, I know what's going on outside."

Jean pondered that the only space where the prisoners from LV0 to LV5 could communicate was once a week bathing time, because of the shortage of water, their bathing was carried out together, but the guards could not keep an eye on the prisoners all the time, so the prison was more like an independent society, but it was inextricably linked to the outside.

Some of the criminals with double-headed snake tattoos were also inside, but they couldn't extract any information from their mouths, some were completely unaware, some were hard-core.

"I'm not going to sin Jean, trust me, and if I sin again, you'll kill me this time!"

Jean threw a cigarette over, and the wise man happily took it in his hand, and in an instant the cigarette spontaneously ignited under Jean's gaze.

"I'll think about it, I can't make a decision on this matter alone, I have to go to Congress ......."

"You don't need to say these polite words to me Jean, you're the only one who can take me out of here, and my head is still a little useful for the current society."

Jean tilted his head back, a look of helplessness on his face, and he tilted his head and squinted at the wise man.

"Tell me everything you know, and as for your business, I'll think about it."

The wise man nodded gratefully.

"The so-called two-headed snake is just a symbol of confusion, what is really hidden behind the scenes? Jean, take a good look at the recent food production capacity, you have to check carefully, after all, the whole city has long been filled with a rancid smell, starting from the basics. ”

Jean nodded, and the wise man smiled and walked over to Jean's side, put his mouth to Gene's ear and whispered.

.......

The lights at night were a little dim, Le Xiao opened the door and returned home, very tired, although she had a bus card, she still walked a lot of places today, listening to everything, everything today did not discourage her, her head was a little confused, whether she wanted to interview Jean to make a big news, or wanted to understand Jean.

When Le Xiao thought of the feeling he felt when he hugged Jean at noon, he felt a little sour in his heart.

"Take a good shower tonight!"

Rakushino said as he walked to the corner of the four-foot square room, and was about to turn on the bathtub equipment when there was a knock on the door.

With a puzzled attitude, Le Xiao looked out, there was a man and a woman standing at the door, the two were smiling, and Le Xiao opened a corner of the crack in the door.

"Excuse me........"

"Is it Miss Rakushino? We are a weekly reporter and you are a colleague, we want to talk to you, if we have time, we will go to the corner bar, we will have a treat, of course, we will pay you a certain amount of interview. ”

Le Xiao immediately closed the door in surprise and asked the other party to wait, she also wanted to know something from the other party's mouth, and the originally tired body regained its vitality.
