Chapter 1013: Chapter 906: Benevolent Lies

Late at night, Song Lan and "Zero" were invited to visit the prison located in the Capital City of the Aocher Nibulu Kingdom.

The prison was designed by architects who came for support from the Bug Swarm, constructed together with the Death God Crab, where the "Sea of Souls" played a significant role. Just as Song Lan had theorized, the vast amount of knowledge stored inside was enough to allow the devourers to hatch builders with a multitude of functions in a short amount of time.

Under the cloak of night, most of the senior members of the Brotherhood had fallen asleep.

After all, for them, it was undoubtedly a long and absurd day, having been completely annihilated during the attack on the Death God Crab clan, ultimately becoming captives at their mercy.

An ancient kingdom never before recorded emerged before their eyes, revealing just the tip of the iceberg.

The Death God Crabs were actually intelligent beings—a theory no biologist had ever proposed. They had learned construction skills from humans and even established prisons specially designed to detain prisoners.

They were probably the first human prisoners of this ancient kingdom, and nobody knew what their fate would be.

Of course, not everyone could fall asleep peacefully amidst fear.

"Jack, Jack Roman, what’s the situation outside?"

In the darkness, people called out for Jack by name.

Jack Roman opened his eyes; the voice came from the cell next to his. The prison was pitch black, and he could only identify the other person by their voice.

Strangely enough, after thinking for a while, he still couldn’t match the prisoner next door with anyone he knew.

However, on second thought, there had been many new faces joining the Brotherhood after it expanded. Some truly talented individuals had made it into the Brotherhood’s management. The leader had mentioned more than once that their company in Lira needed some professionals to help manage things; the majority of the Brotherhood’s members had made names for themselves through fighting and were essentially no different from street thugs, so running the company with order and discipline was naturally challenging for them.

Perhaps it was just some nominal CEO of the company, who was also unfortunately called to the front lines by the leader "to see the world".

So thought Jack.

Before long, the voice came again, "You were the last one to be brought in."

"How do you know?"

Jack moved closer to the source of the voice on the wall, lowering his voice for fear of alerting the Death God Crabs guarding the prison.

From the outside, the prison they were in resembled the construction of prisons seen in human society, which also meant that the Death God Crabs, with their massive bodies, would find it difficult to patrol inside. To those giant creatures towering over 20 meters, this building was essentially no different from a dog cage.

"I’ve been counting; including you, a total of 37 people have been brought in," the voice responded.

people.

This number sent a chill down Jack’s spine.

The team that went to capture the Divine Artifact had more members than that number. As for the fate of the others not sent here...

He didn’t want to think any further.

Because before departing, they had all studied up on facts about the Death God Crab.

Every caravan recorded to have been attacked by the Death God Crab ended with all of its members missing. Biologists believed that the Death God Crab was an omnivorous creature and, under certain circumstances, humans could also become their prey.

Jack truly wished those biologists could be locked up in this dark prison at this moment and then tell them what it meant to become captives of the Death God Crab.

"By now, more than half a day has passed since we were attacked, the news must have reached Lira by now," said the prisoner next door. "If the boss knows we’re still alive, he will surely send someone to rescue us."

Jack fell silent once more.

This made the voice on the other end lose its confidence, repeating softly, "Right?"

"Didn’t he tell you? All of our elite forces were sent here this time."

Jack had to extinguish the last bit of hope in the other’s heart.

The reality was, even if the leader knew that they had become captives of the Death God Crab, even if he knew that the Divine Artifact of legend truly existed, it was impossible for him to send another rescue mission.

Even with their exoskeleton armor, they couldn’t safely traverse that area with abnormal climate. In fact, his ground forces led by him hadn’t even had a chance to engage with the Death God Crab before they were all wiped out.

"I knew it, I just knew it—" This sentence seemed to break the last line of defense in the prisoner’s heart. In addition to muttering to himself, Jack also heard faint banging noises.

He guessed this mentally fragile CEO probably hadn’t experienced any significant events. The first time the leader made him come to "see the world", he encountered such an incident.

"Ever since he set his sights on the Law Enforcers’ supervisor in that District Seventeen, everything changed," the banging became more intense.

Jack suspected the other party was banging their head against the wall, making noise through self-harm.

"Keep it down. It doesn’t matter if you die, but if you attract the Death God Crab here, I won’t forgive you," he warned the other.

The prison fell silent, with no sound from the cell next door for some time.

"Hey, are you still alive?" Jack couldn’t help but ask.

In such a dire situation, being able to talk to someone could somewhat relieve his stress.

"...Yeah."

It took a while for a voice to come from the other side.

"There’s not absolutely no hope. Sometimes, I feel the boss has changed, ever since we started collaborating with that bio-pharmaceutical company."
