Chapter 68: Chapter 66: Militarized Management

Crap!

Huang Mao couldn’t believe his eyes and rubbed them vigorously.

What was happening outside?

In just a few minutes, eighty percent of the prisoners in Section A had been thoroughly beaten.

Not only were their faces swollen and bruised, but some were even howling with noses bleeding.

Were the methods of the Trio from Section B this brutal?

Of course, the well-behaved prisoners were spared from the beatings by the trio.

Right now, these prisoners, under the leadership of Da Guang and Kuku, were drilling in marching steps.

Da Guang, "One, one, one-two-one!"

Prisoners, "One! One! One-two-one!"

Da Guang, "At ease!"

Prisoners, "Snap!"

Da Guang, "Attention!"

Prisoners, "Snap!"

Da Guang, "Eyes left, dress!"

Thump, thump, thump...

The prisoners began to aim for the shoulders of the inmates to their left, attempting to form a straight line as much as possible.

Da Guang, "Salute!"

The prisoners saluted in the direction of Jiang Xiao, who had just appeared on the left.

Da Guang, "Bow!"

Prisoners, "Swoosh!"

Scar-faced and Zhen Meili both showed contemptuous expressions towards Da Guang.

This baldy getting the prisoners to salute was one thing, but this bow... they really were...

Total bootlickers!

Ah, this...

Jiang Xiao was also taken aback.

Although the prisoners’ movements were not in perfect sync, it was clear that these rough men were trying their best.

Jiang Xiao scratched his head, looking at Da Guang with some surprise, and asked,

୧(๑⌒ㅂ⌒) "I didn’t see that coming. You’ve truly got some skill. You’re damn right a genius."

The latter’s face turned red with pride and he subtly kissed up.

(︶.̮︶✽) "Ah, compared with the boss, what am I? Just some trivial tricks that aren’t worth showing off. But with me here, you can relax completely. What do you think, boss? Can you see their spirit now?"

Jiang Xiao nodded, then shook his head.

"Far from it. At the moment, their drill posture is barely on par with the cooks from my old Independence Regiment."

"Hahaha, no worries, give me three or four days, and I guarantee they’ll achieve excellence!"

Prisoners in Section A: ??????

What the hell are you guaranteeing?

Shouldn’t you ask us, the victims, before making such promises?

So high and mighty!

Look at you!

You’re training us prisoners just to flatter your boss.

Rebel?

They had already tried that.

Not a chance of fighting back.

In less than three minutes, all of them had been taken down by those two men and one woman.

Seeing the prisoners’ resentful gazes, Jiang Xiao pointed at them and scolded,

"I’ve never led a bunch of cowards! Even though you’re prisoners, you’re fundamentally the same; all under my command, and it’s my responsibility and obligation to train you!"

"Look at that listless, staggering mess of yours. A wolf travels a thousand miles for food, a dog for excrement, but with you lot in such a state, you wouldn’t even catch the steam from a fresh pile!"

"I’ll lay it out here today! Even though I’m only here for seven days, I’ll make sure you’re transformed, at least into something human-like! Don’t embarrass me once you’re out!"

Oh my God...

Already feeling miserable, these prisoners couldn’t stand Jiang Xiao’s scolding.

Some with poor psychological resilience started to wipe away tears.

"’Don’t embarrass you once out’? Can’t you see we don’t have a shot at getting out?"

We’re here to serve our time, yet this is turning into some kind of rookie boot camp!

What kind of person are you!

If you wanted to satisfy your twisted training obsession, train the prison guards, but training us prisoners, what’s that all about?

Damn, it’s like a curse falling into your hands.

...

Is this even allowed?

The viewers in the live stream were baffled.

[Isn’t... I’m a bit lost, has Jiang Xiao just cleared the game?]

[If I’m not mistaken, is Jiang Xiao using prisoners to manage prisoners?]

[Would this count as ’using barbarians to control barbarians’?]

[I feel so sorry for these prisoners...]

"Good!"

Da Guang raised both hands, agreeing with Jiang Xiao.

"The boss is also doing this for your good. Don’t be ungrateful. Quick, all of you, get to training!"

Oh boy, my God.

Well, it looks like Section A is wholly subdued now.

Just as Da Guang was about to continue the drill, a voice came from behind.

"Good day, Deputy Prison Director!"

Following the voice of the prison guard outside, a sullen-faced man approached.

Deputy Prison Director?

Jiang Xiao looked up.

According to the rules, this man was his immediate superior.

Dressed in black, with a fair and cold appearance, he wore gold-wire glasses and black gloves on his hands.

There was something neat and refined about him.

The Deputy Prison Director, with a frown, fixed his gaze on Jiang Xiao.

"Warden Jiang, aren’t you going to explain this?"

"What?"

"Why did you let out the people from Block B? And inciting a mass brawl, do you know how dangerous that is? If I hadn’t come here, would you have let everyone out of the prison?"

"Ha! Is that all this is about?"

Jiang Xiao was nonchalant.

"I did it to make it easier to manage them all at once, otherwise dealing with Block A and Block B separately is too much of a pain."

"Easier to manage?"

The deputy Prison Director scoffed.

"Do you have any idea how vicious those three from Block B are? Aside from me and the Prison Director, no one in Hengshui Prison can subdue them!"

"Is that so?"

"Of course! You have no idea..."

The deputy Prison Director could not finish his sentence.

Because Big Light and Scar-faced, who had their backs to him, just turned around.

(#)༎ຶ口༎ຶ(#)(#)༎ຶ۝༎ຶ(#)

"Prison Director, are you saying we are hard to control?"

What the fuck!

Deputy Prison Director Li Bing was startled.

d(ŐдŐ๑)

What the hell is this?

Are these even carbon-based life forms?

This... Hiss, this-... Hey wait, hold up, let me get my thoughts straight...

What’s going on?

I came in too much of a hurry, just glanced at the monitor before getting here.

The actual situation seems a bit different from what I expected.

Could it be...

Upon closer inspection, Li Bing saw that the trio from Block B looked at Jiang Xiao with clear fear in their eyes.

Holy crap!

Has the new warden of this block got some serious skills?!

Thinking this, Li Bing’s expression softened, and even his tone became gentler.

"Even though you’re highly skilled, you did indeed break the prison rules."

Li Bing wanted to punish Jiang Xiao internally, to show him who’s boss.

But he was also afraid he wouldn’t be a match for this man...

What if Jiang Xiao just ignored him, and he couldn’t fight back, wouldn’t that be a huge embarrassment?

This was really weird.

How could the warden possibly be a match for the trio from Block B?

The strongest ones before could only just barely stand up to some weaklings from Block A.

Forget it, better play it safe for now.

Let’s report to the Prison Director later to decide what to do!

"Alright, since everyone is here, I might as well distribute today’s test papers, let’s do the test here."

The rule came into play.

[Rule Six: You and the prisoners will have a thought test every day.]

What kind of test would it be?

It wouldn’t be some freaky twisted shit, would it?

A young prison guard from outside brought over a stack of test papers and handed them out.

The moment Jiang Xiao saw them he was stupefied.

You’ve got to be kidding me?

A Chinese test paper?!

And it’s ancient poetry fill-in-the-blanks?

From a young age, Jiang Xiao had been in Qingshan Mental Hospital and hadn’t read much.

Li Yunlong... Li Yunlong was even less knowledgeable than Jiang Xiao.

But when it comes to ancient poetry, Jiang Xiao still had some insights.

Back in the Qingshan Mental Hospital, he would often become agitated and recite poetry.

But now wasn’t the personality taking charge!

At the moment, Jiang Xiao was staring blankly at the test paper.

The first question, "The Great Wall remains unreturned" what’s the next line?

The answer was on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn’t say it...

Li Yunlong’s consciousness was even more confused...

Jiang Xiao desperately tried to wrest control over his body.

The thoughts on both sides collided and entwined.

The result was Jiang Xiao’s eyes looking increasingly perceptive.

Finally, mentally ill Jiang Xiao and the rough Li Yunlong together sparked an odd chemical reaction...

A flash of inspiration struck!

"Uh! I remember now!"

Jiang Xiao picked up the pen, inked it.

1. The Great Wall remains unreturned, (The Independent Regiment, Brigade Three Eight Six.)

That’s got to be right, huh?

Definitely, the line before was familiar, and the one after seems so too.

It rhymes nicely~

Yeah, considering, it’s likely something like that.

Second question, "A life of leisure in smoke and rain" what’s the next line?

This one’s familiar too...

Jiang Xiao felt that back in the mental hospital, he often heard the director muttering it.

Li Yunlong too, he felt the poem reminded him of someone he knew.

After pondering for a while.

He picked up the pen, inked it and wrote.

2. A life of leisure in smoke and rain, (Second Platoon, Third Company, Wang Gensheng.)

Right, that looks pretty close, it’s catchy to read, and the tones and rhythm match.

The third question, "Who plays the jade flute under the moon" what’s the next line.

Feeling on a roll, Jiang Xiao hurriedly filled it in without hesitation.

3. Who plays the jade flute under the moon, (Company Commander Zhang Dabiao!)

Hm?

Jiang Xiao looked at his answer with some suspicion.

Why does it feel like something’s not quite right...

The live stream was also starting to get rowdy.
