“Breached?” Rex asked that panicked prison guard doubtfully. “Soone ca into the prison?”
“Yes. The intruder should be in the basent now. We have not ascertained the position of the intruder yet.” The prison guard nodded, his forehead full of cold sweat.
Since the Bastie Prison was built 100 years ago, it almost never had an accident. It was considered to be the most impenetrable prison on the continent. However, in these several days, a prison break incident and a breach incident happened one after another. It was simply unbelievable.
Of course, the person who committed the unbelievable prison break was standing in front of him right now. The rumor was that since he was the first inmate to break out of the prison successfully, he was specially appointed as the deputy warden by the city lord.
Such an extraordinary reward had brought imnse stress to the prison guards of the Bastie Prison as the inmates who were well-behaved initially began to attempt breaking out crazily. They hoped to achieve their objective of becoming a deputy warden.
And now, not only the inmates were trying to get out, soone out there began to try to intrude too.
The Bastie Prison held nurous felons, and many of them were prisoners who had strong power and high status. If this was a preditated jailbreak, the incident could beco uncontrollable.
“React according to your contingency plan. Co and look for when you need to step in,” Rex ordered. He had only been the deputy warden for a few days, so he wasn’t sure about the rules and regulations of the Bastie Prison yet. Hence, he didn’t want to give instructions without any information and ss up their plans.
“Yes!” that prison guard replied and prepared to take his leave. When it ca to intrusions, the Bastie Prison did have a well thought out plan which was frequently drilled.
“Oh, yes. Did soone send sothing over earlier?” Rex asked suddenly.
“There was no visitor today.” The prison guard shook his head.
“Alright. You may go now.” Rex raised his hand and the prison guard left, leaving him alone in the office.
“Did Boss Mag forget about it because he is too busy? He said 5 o’clock, but it still hasn’t arrived?” Rex murmured to himself. Mamy Restaurant was very close to the prison, but he couldn’t leave his position now, since there was an intruder. He had to catch that intruder first.
“Soone actually dared to breach Bastie Prison. It’s really gutsy. I wonder which species’ powerhouse is that?”

Darn. It’s another crossroads. What the heck is this place? Why are they locking people up in tiny houses? Connie stood at life’s crossroads again with a confused expression as she looked at the eerie three walkways. She saw many little rooms that held all the different species along her way. However, they all looked very fierce, so she dared not ask them for directions, and continued on her way silently.
No. I will be lost if I continue to go on like this. I have to ask soone for directions, Connie thought, and she decided to walk toward the central walkway.
There was only a dim oil lamp every 10 ters along the pitch dark walkway. There was a humid and moldy sll mixed with the stench of feces in the air, and the snoring sounds everywhere resembled thunder.
Connie walked carefully, carrying the insulated box. She began to size up those guys locked up behind the bars.
Connie stopped at so bars. There was an orc with a bull’s head locked in there. She softly asked, “Hi, may I ask where I can find the deputy warden?”
“Zzz... Zzz...”
She only heard thunderous snoring in reply.
“Young lady, are you looking for the deputy warden?” Right at this mont, an eerie voice ca from the next cell.
“Yes. Do you know where he is? I still couldn’t find him after searching for a long ti.” Connie walked to the next cell, where an old, thin, and dark green goblin was leaning against the bars and smiling at her.
“Why are you looking for the deputy warden? Not everyone is able to et him.” The goblin was sizing Connie up with wide eyes. He couldn’t make up what species this young lady was, as she was wearing a special mask, but he was sure that she wasn’t a prison guard.
“I ca to send him his food. He had ordered our restaurant’s takeaway delivery,” Connie replied honestly before asking that goblin, “Can you tell where he is now? I have to send him his food as soon as possible. Otherwise, the soup will get cold.”
“Of course I can tell you where he is, but this basent is too complicated, I am afraid you can’t rember the directions even if I tell you. Why don’t you release first? I can bring you to him,” the goblin said smilingly, his protruding eyes spinning around in his eye sockets.
“Release you?” Connie stared at the bars between them. The door at the side had a huge lock on it.
“Yes. Release and I will bring you to the deputy warden. Then, you can complete your job,” the goblin said with a bright smile.
“Excuse , are you a goblin?” Connie asked suddenly.
The goblin was taken aback, but he nodded. “Y-yes.”
“Goodbye.” Connie turned and left.
“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t go, young lady. I really can bring you to the deputy warden,” the goblin said in a panic, grabbing the bars.
“Father told to never deal with goblins. You guys are the best liars,” Connie said without turning her head. Even though she was very clever, she still knew it was better to listen to her father.
After she continued to wander around, Connie felt she had gone another two levels down in the basent.
At first, she was prepared to ask those mysterious people who were walking around, but she didn’t et any of them after she continued on.

“Did you find the intruder?”
“An inmate said he saw a person with an unusually big head walking by the basent one, but we have done a blanket search at that level, and we didn’t find any suspicious person there.”
“Barricade all the exits at every level. Then, focus the search from the levels basent one to basent five. Release the signal imdiately when you find that person!”
“Yes!”
The prison guards were rushing up and down the walkways. This intruder was extrely cunning as he managed to evade all the traps and patrols. No one had seen him yet. They only heard minimal descriptions from the inmates that were locked up.
Ding, ding, ding!!!
“Alarm!”
“The intruder was in basent four!”
“A first order incident! Request backup!!!”
Right at this mont, a shrill alarm was ringing throughout the Bastie Prison. The powerhouses that were guarding the periters and the innermost parts of the prison began to dash to the fourth level. It was a humiliation to all in the Bastie Prison that an intruder had reached the basent four level.
“What is this? It could even shout?” At a crossroad, Connie kicked sothing that looked like a giant snail curiously.
Right at this mont, nurous footsteps could be heard from all the four walkways at the sa ti. Bright, glaring lights were shining onto Connie’s body as dozens of magic casters and knights rushed out of the walkways and nervously shouted, “Who is it? Raise your hands up!”
“I... I am just a delivery courier...” Connie said in a weak voice as she looked at the crowd that suddenly appeared, raising the insulated box in her hands up innocently.
