Chapter 593 – Prison

“… So… Bark, you’re saying you were arrested because of that virtual reality game called Panthera?

Kaura looks at me with suspicious eyes, as if asking if that’s really true.

“You know I was there when Selby was locked down, right?”

Because of that, she had a brief contact with Kaura.

“Yes.”

“When I was living in Selby, I was investigated by the Public Safety Office because of a virtual reality game called Panthera.”

“Investigation? What investigation?”

“He asked me about the incident in which I accessed the game while talking about the Pantera developer’s actions. I didn’t think much of it at the time… A similar question was asked during this interrogation, right? If it’s not because of Rebellion, then it’s that one, isn’t it? That’s the only impressive thing I’ve experienced recently. .”

I didn’t lie.

And Kaura knew that I was playing the virtual reality game Panthera.

This is probably an explanation that even the leaders of Rebellion can understand.

“There’s a lot of evidence, right?”

“… Evidence?”

I pointed at Cowra to Willas, the protagonist of the commotion a little while ago.

Willas, who was beaten up by a guard for no reason, was having an unwanted offline meeting with Panthera users who had been arrested for the same reason.

I think we felt a kind of kinship with each other.

Aren’t Pantera users the most unfair group here?

They were just playing a virtual reality game, but they were caught out of nowhere and became prisoners overnight.

They were complaining to each other with spit flying out of their mouths about how unfair they were.

“Looking at what those guys are saying about the Pantera connection, doesn’t it seem like my guess was so wrong? If I was caught here not because of Rebellion, then it would be correct to think that it was because of the Pantera connection.”

There were many Panthera users who were caught.

They accounted for more than half of the prisoners gathered here.

Cowra and Claire seemed to agree with my story.

The leaders of Rebellion are starting to grow again based on the information I gave them.

“… Now that I think about it, the interrogators asked about Pantera. What was it like for you, Cloud?”

“I thought it was strange that they asked about Pantera, too… Herman, Kaura, were you also interrogated about Pantera?”

Kaura and Hermann nod their heads.

“Mr. Bark, do you know anything about why they are questioning the game Panthera?”

Claire asked me.

It was worth questioning.

It was only because of the virtual reality game that it attracted so many people.

You wouldn’t understand because you don’t know that the virtual reality game Pantera is interfering with the real Pantera and that it is related to the military.

And of course I couldn’t reveal that fact.

It’s obvious that our conversations are being monitored anyway. If I tell you that, it would be like confessing that I am the culprit.

“… Well? I don’t know either. All I know is that it seems to have something to do with the Demon Lord event that took place in Pantera.”

“… Demon Lord event?”

“I don’t know either. When it comes to that information, I’m probably no different from you guys. I couldn’t participate in that event and my avatar disappeared. Don’t they know better than me?”

Was there a sense of connection as they were charged with the same crime? Before we knew it, Panthera gamers had formed their own group.

“Would you like to go?”

Kaura asks Claire.

“I don’t know when there will be a time like this. I need to get information in advance.”

The moment Claire said that and tried to move towards the Panthera users.

The heavy air weighed down the intestines.

The people who were noisy suddenly quieted down.

-Gulp…

It was so quiet that you could hear someone swallowing dry saliva.

The heads of Rebellion, including Claire, also seemed to have felt that presence, and their faces became stiff.

-Tap. Step by step.

The protagonist, showing off his presence to his heart’s content, appeared on the podium with an unusually loud sound of shoe heels.

His face, wearing a neat military uniform, looked familiar.

He is the devil that I saw in Panthera.

It was Gregory.

(Isn’t it Demon King Gregory?!)

(The devil was real and not an NPC?)

(Are you saying he was the same user as us?)

(How on earth does this work?)

Pantera users who saw his face whispered in confusion.

Gregory’s eyes scan the prisoners as he stands on the podium.

All prisoners who received his gaze avoided gaze or lowered their heads.

I did my best to hide my existence using the power of deception.

Fortunately, Gregory’s eyes stopped for a moment and then passed on to the Rebellion leaders rather than to me.

Gregory looked around at the prisoners and opened his mouth.

“If it weren’t for Stone Head, I think you would have guessed by now why you were captured and what my purpose is. That’s right. We are looking for people who are causing serious trouble within Zephyria. And you are the suspects. “

The prisoners held their breath and focused on Gregory’s voice.

“I’ll be honest. We didn’t find any clear suspicions against you.”

The prisoners’ faces brighten a little at Gregory’s words. There is also a sigh of relief.

The fact that no charges were found was enough to raise hopes that he might be released.

However, as Gregory continued, the prisoners’ faces soon turned dark.

“That doesn’t mean I have any intention of releasing you guys. I don’t know how you escaped, but… I have a feeling that the culprit might be among you.”

So many innocent people are being imprisoned just because of four senses?! Are you crazy?

The faces of the prisoners are full of injustice, as if they are shouting.

“… Can I ask how long you will keep us locked up?”

Claire courageously asks a question.

“That’s…”

The prisoners’ expectant gaze focuses on Gregory’s mouth.

“Until we catch the exact culprit in this incident.”

What he said was like saying that if the criminal is not caught, he will never be released.

At Gregory’s shameless words, the young-looking female prisoner was seen slumping down, as if her legs had lost strength.

〈Wow… They’re letting so many innocent people rot in prison for the rest of their lives? Unho, doesn’t your conscience prick you? Is it because of you? How about embroidering?〉

“…”

It’s a cosmos that shows a grumpy look that makes you want to hit even a honey chestnut if it’s in front of you.

I am struggling! In the end, with tears in my eyes, I decided not to embroider.

〈What kind of agony… Is it the devil? It’s the devil.〉

Cosmos is thinking something wrong.

This is not my fault, the problem is Gregory, who gave up on the principle of presumption of innocence.

Everyone looked like they wanted to protest Gregory’s shocking statement, but he couldn’t say a word.
This is because his momentum was so great that the prisoners could not resist.

If it had been an ordinary prison guard instead of Gregory, wouldn’t a riot have occurred?

“It may be unfair. I understand. But your opinion is not important. Oh, by the way, this is something Hellion gave permission for.”

Gregory said with an evil smile.

“If you have a good lead even now, please tell me. If the information is satisfactory, I will consider release.”

It was quiet.

At that time, a man jumped forward and fell face down in front of Gregory.

“Well, Mr. Gregory! It’s me, Willas!”

Gregory’s eyes turn to Willas.

“Hmm?”

“The loyalist who served Gregory in Pantera! This is Willas. I am innocent! Please know my innocence…!”

Gregory snaps his fingers in annoyance.

“Kek!!”

Willas, hit by an invisible hit, fell backwards and fainted.

Gregory’s expression was not that of a loyalist, but that of a bug.

Willas’ sense of reality was messed up, perhaps because he was playing a virtual reality game.

“I plan to send you to Karaz.”

‘… Karaz?’

It’s a name you may have heard somewhere.

Are you really referring to the Karaz that Herenia was talking about?

Claire and the others seemed to be unfamiliar with the place as they looked at each other’s faces with puzzled expressions.

“For your information, Karaz is a place where violent criminals sentenced to life imprisonment are imprisoned. It is a place where not a single one has escaped for a long time.”

The faces of people who heard that story turn pale.

“Rest assured. But I have no intention of treating you like those vicious criminals.”

Of course, those words did not bring much comfort to people.

It would be absurd to think that this was done by incarcerating a felon who was sentenced to life imprisonment even though he was not guilty of anything.

-Geugeeueueuung…

The ground shakes.

And the entire floor where the prisoners were begins to go underground.

Only then did we realize that the place we were standing was the platform of a huge elevator.

Gregory quietly sees off the prisoners going down with cold eyes.

One by one, the people who were half-fazed began to come to their senses.

“Wow, crazy! A life sentence criminal camp?!”

“Ugh!! Mom!”

“Gregory! Please, please save me!”

“This isn’t right! Let me out!! I’m not guilty!”

Despite the people’s screams, the elevator just went down silently.
