“Breached?” Rex asked that panicked prison guard doubtfully. “Someone came into the prison?”

“Yes. The intruder should be in the basement 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 immense 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, someone out there began to try to intrude too.

The Bastie Prison held numerous felons, and many of them were prisoners who had strong power and high status. If this was a premeditated jailbreak, the incident could become uncontrollable.

“React according to your contingency plan. Come and look for me when you need me 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 mess up their plans.

“Yes!” that prison guard replied and prepared to take his leave. When it came to intrusions, the Bastie Prison did have a well thought out plan which was frequently drilled.

“Oh, yes. Did someone send something 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.

“Someone 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 someone for directions, Connie thought, and she decided to walk toward the central walkway.

There was only a dim oil lamp every 10 meters along the pitch dark walkway. There was a humid and moldy smell 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 some 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 moment, an eerie voice came from the next cell.

“Yes. Do you know where he is? I still couldn’t find him after searching for a long time.” 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 meet 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 came to send him his food. He had ordered our restaurant’s takeaway delivery,” Connie replied honestly before asking that goblin, “Can you tell me 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 basement is too complicated, I am afraid you can’t remember the directions even if I tell you. Why don’t you release me 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 me and I will bring you to the deputy warden. Then, you can complete your job,” the goblin said with a bright smile.

“Excuse me, 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 me 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 basement.

At first, she was prepared to ask those mysterious people who were walking around, but she didn’t meet 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 basement 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 basement one to basement five. Release the signal immediately when you find that person!”

“Yes!”

The prison guards were rushing up and down the walkways. This intruder was extremely 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 basement four!”

“A first order incident! Request backup!!!”

Right at this moment, a shrill alarm was ringing throughout the Bastie Prison. The powerhouses that were guarding the perimeters 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 basement four level.

“What is this? It could even shout?” At a crossroad, Connie kicked something that looked like a giant snail curiously.

Right at this moment, numerous footsteps could be heard from all the four walkways at the same time. 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.
