Chapter 1466: Chapter 1460: Not a Soul in Sight

The truth was just as Nicole said.

The responsibilities at number six Caselle Street are numerous, and the city’s prison that holds inmates is actually in the annex behind this brick building.

Moreover, due to the special nature of the surveillance agency itself,

whether it’s ordinary illegal citizens, mysterious perpetrators, or individuals from the Nine Commandments who have caused problems, they will all be detained here.

This is indeed something worth checking out.

Understanding the key points, Ronald naturally nodded in support of Nicole’s idea.

"We really should take a look!"

"Let’s move quickly, and not let the folks behind bars cause another stir because of wasted time."

"..."

The three immediately set off, heading toward the back of the building.

Boom—Boom—

In just a few breaths.

As Ronald and the others left, a significant explosion sounded inside the building.

This wasn’t because they encountered enemies inside and engaged them.

But rather, it was triggered by the hasty intrusion of Ronald and the others into the trap left by the Nine Commandments’ caster.

These escapees, though knowing they weren’t a match,

still decisively ran away while leaving behind some harmful tricks if possible.

After all, this is their inspector agency headquarters.

Not to mention Ronald and the three ridiculously strong individuals who barged in, if any other ill-intentioned person took advantage of the situation to enter, these traps would serve as a stern blow to them.

Of course, the same tricks couldn’t possibly seriously hurt the currently intruding trio.

Although they looked a bit disheveled due to their rash actions, upon passing through the three-story brick building, aside from some dust on their bodies, Ronald and the others were completely intact.

Only Nicole felt extremely upset.

Walking into the courtyard behind the building, she stamped her feet and began complaining:

"They run away, but still set up all these ridiculous things!"

"If a child runs in out of curiosity and hits the traps they set, they’re doomed!"

Ronald gently brushed the dust off his body and immediately teased Nicole:

"I think aside from intruders like us, no child would come here at this time for some courage adventure."

"Am I not a child then!" Nicole rebutted instinctively.

Then she seemed to find it boring too, shrugged her shoulders, and said no more about age.

Behind the three-story brick building is a central courtyard enclosed on all sides.

Two intersecting straight roads form a cross here, leading to buildings in each of the four directions.

Ronald and the others walked out through the entrance of the front brick building.

No need for turns, a straight path leads directly to the heavily guarded prison at the end.

But upon seeing this city prison for the first time, Ronald had a strange expression.

Because the Nine Commandments had built this prison.

Out of concrete!

It’s unknown where this group got the formula for concrete from some ancient texts, but they actually built a reinforced concrete prison in this era, and because of its mysterious features, they added spells with extremely high strength for defense.

Compared to other prisons of the same era,

escaping from here would be unimaginably difficult.

"Hm?"

"What is this material?"

While Ronald felt a mix of emotions, Nicole had already walked up and expressed her curiosity about this material.

Though she is quite skilled on the mystical side,

Nicole’s attention wasn’t limited to the spell level; she simply confirmed the spells added to the prison’s surface, and soon started pondering the materials used for its construction.

Even though she didn’t have deeper knowledge about concrete at the moment,

judging from preliminary investigations, Nicole determined it was an advanced and very practical building material.

In the background, Ronald watched Nicole’s silhouette.

A thought suddenly emerged in his mind, prompting him to remind her:

"If His Majesty Dantrian could carefully flip through her original texts, she could probably make something like this too."

Upon hearing this reminder, Nicole immediately abandoned her investigation of the concrete.

Without probing why Ronald knew such things, she simply turned to him and smiled:

"Looks like when I return to Gred, my merit book can gain a dazzling entry."

After satisfying their initial curiosity, the three of them entered the prison through the main gate.

As expected, just like the three-story brick building at the front of Caselle Street No. 6, the prison guards were equally missing, having fled beforehand.

And just as Nicole had predicted,

the Nine Commandments had managed to escape, but couldn’t process the prisoners left in the prison.

Among the prisoners here, the weaker ones weren’t worth processing; but those stronger or with complicated status couldn’t be executed immediately, having to leave them here.

Objectively speaking, the Nine Commandments’ casters weren’t wrong to act this way.

Because an enemy capable of attacking the political center, eliminating numerous original text holders in one strike, and displaying power like heavenly might wouldn’t leisurely come to rescue people in the prison afterward.

If there really were urgent rescue targets here.

Then right from the start, the prison would likely face a high-intensity assault.

In the eyes of those here, it was better to leave the prisoners at their original spot.

Wait for the enemy to retreat or for the Nine Commandments to eliminate the invading enemy before dealing with the imprisoned ones.

But Ronald and the other two were in a peculiar situation.

They truly didn’t plan to rescue anyone from the prison, but merely intended to find someone with a high enough status and extract information from them.

When Ronald and friends truly entered the prison,

how to put it...

At this moment, the prison’s atmosphere was like a festive occasion.

The thunder reverberating throughout the city awakened the sleeping prisoners who realized they were watching the police officers evacuating the prison, leaving behind only cold cells and imprisoned inmates without freedom.

Facing such a situation, even the dimmest prisoners knew this was a rare chance to break out.

The shouts, conversations, and attempts to escape reverberated constantly.

Even if this could be a trap set by the Nine Commandments for the prisoners,

it was still a valuable opportunity worth trying for prisoners facing impending doom or nearing their end!

Amidst this extremely lively scene.

In the outermost prison cell, a prisoner saw Ronald and the others approaching and immediately shouted:

"Wait! Everyone, wait!"

"Someone has come in!"
