Chapter 660: Chapter 220 The Great Secret Hidden in Upper State Prison_2
“…”
On the truck, Leonard Churchill listened to a few colleagues exchanging stories and occasionally joined in with a few “angry” wheel and axle talks.
His perfect disguise and performance, naturally, were flawless.
Originally, he wanted to use these conversations to learn about Upper State Prison in advance, but as he chatted, he discovered a few problems.
These people wouldn’t talk about anything related to the prison.
Even when they occasionally let sothing slip, it felt not that they didn’t want to say but rather that they genuinely didn’t know anything.
It was all about delivering the goods and then leaving.
There seed to be no problems with this process.
But now Leonard was certain that these guys had indeed been “ntally polluted.”
Yet, these transport workers had no idea that there was an issue with them, and they hadn’t even suspected it.
Leonard thought of a possibility.
That was their mories or so aspects of their cognition had been altered.
Leonard had seen similar thods when he was a Corpse Collector, the Golden Oak Corporation had ancient relics with the ability to alter mories.
With this in mind, Leonard beca more curious about the Upper State Prison.
Also, he was sure that among these people, one of the colleagues had been replaced.
That was the guy with the hawk nose.
His disguise wasn’t bad, but Leonard had spotted him early on.
He wasn’t the only one who had thought of this way to infiltrate the prison.
…
Upper State Prison was located in the outskirts of Sinless City’s Upper City, in a standalone castle, which was also an ancient relic.
After driving on a pitch-black road for several hours, the dazzling castle amidst the dark mountains finally ca into view.
After being checked by guards at the castle gate, they smoothly entered.
Leonard, sitting beside the vehicle window, seed to glance unintentionally but took in all the defenses of the castle.
Everything looked normal.
But as the truck entered the castle, a strong light from a lighthouse bead down, and Enlightennt imdiately kicked in: “You are exempt from the Barrier’s ‘Light of Scrutiny’ investigation…”
Seeing this, Leonard knew there was a big problem.
He had the Clown mask, and his exemption from Mysterious Type spells was very high now.
Just entering and finding a problem ant that the prison’s defensive power was much stricter than it appeared.
He didn’t think he would be discovered.
As for the other “Hawk nose” spy, it was highly probable that he had been spotted.
As expected.
It was when Leonard and his group arrived.
Atop the lighthouse, two prison administrators dressed in Golden Oak uniforms were looking at the moving truck and had already discovered sothing.
“Another ‘worm’ has co in.”
“Should I go and find that worm?”
“There might be more than one, no need to check them all. Just send them all to the Secret Cave.”
“But… we’ve already sent several batches of transport workers recently. The recruitnt office might be getting suspicious. Also, the forces investigating might have already discovered sothing…”
“No matter. There’ve been many outsiders in Sinless City lately, just have the Gang find so people to fill in. As for X Bureau and the Miller Family, higher-ups have their arrangents. It just so happens that we need ‘miners’ in the Secret Cave. Heh, let those who wish to investigate co, however many there are, just send them all in…”
“Understood, Warden.”
“…”
After a few words, one of the people quickly disappeared into the darkness.
…
The truck entered the prison’s warehouse.
This was the first basent floor.
In the dim room, various wooden boxes and burlap sacks filled with supplies were piled up.
In the corners, the squeaking of mice could occasionally be heard.
After Leonard and the others got off the truck, they began to move the goods from the truck with the chanical arm.
They had no interaction with anyone in the castle.
The only thing that seed unusual to him was that after entering the depths of the castle, Enlightennt kept refreshing.
“You are exempt from minor ntal pollution…”
“You are exempt from minor ntal pollution…”
“…”
In other words, the prison castle was plagued with ntal pollution everywhere.
This made Leonard also very puzzled; where was this contamination coming from?
It seed to be from beneath the ground?
According to a few colleagues, once they moved the goods into the warehouse, their work was done.
This made things difficult for Leonard, and he thought to himself: “How exactly did Abel learn that Secret Skill back in the day?”
Perhaps Sinless City wasn’t as complex as it is now, ten years ago.
Back then, there were only exiled prisoners, and the Golden Oak Security Company wasn’t as large scale as it is now.
So, many processes would likely have been different from now.
With the current process, even if he ca a hundred tis more, he would never encounter the “Senior” Lord Nine Brown had ntioned.
Leonard knew he had to do sothing else.
But he also knew that their group had already been targeted and possibly discovered, so he didn’t act rashly.
He didn’t need to take the risk.
Because a certain fellow was probably more eager to investigate and find sothing.
As expected, just after unloading half the truck’s goods, the “Hawk nose” used the excuse of going to the bathroom and slipped away.
Leonard had expected the guy to trigger so kind of accident to see if there were any gains.
But before long, that fellow unexpectedly ca back.
“Could it be he wasn’t detected? Or maybe he was, and the Golden Oak people decided not to deal with it?”
Leonard watched Hawk nose return and thought of so possibilities.
Maybe the places transport workers could go had no secrets after all?
But just as the new year started, suddenly a correctional officer in a suit walked in from outside.
