Chapter 118: Chapter 120 Magic: Hypnosis Without Three (8000 words big Chapter!!!)_2

"Without inside help, escaping from prison is absolutely impossible, unless you can ’whoosh’ and fly out." Clo shrugged, suggesting that Jiang Shu’s thinking was too small.

"You’ve been in prison for five years now, where did your money come from?" Jiang Shu deliberately asked, knowing whether Clo had money and where it came from was very important.

"It’s simple, earn it." Clo chuckled, "Let me teach you a method."

"Uh-huh." Jiang Shu’s eyes lit up, learning something new every day here was really great.

"Only four steps are necessary." Clo earnestly shared his money-making experience, "First, buy a kilogram of mercury, which costs about five or six hundred bucks, then get a protective suit, since mercury is poisonous after all."

"And then?"

"Prepare a pair of fine tweezers and a high-powered microscope, just pluck a proton and an electron from each mercury atom, and you’ll get 987.5 grams of gold, worth up to three hundred thousand." Clo spoke confidently, his seamless logic finding no faults.

Jiang Shu: "..."

"Are you sick or do you think I’m sick?" he said irritably.

With Clo acting so flippantly, Jiang Shu also understood that he would not reveal the source of the money. He didn’t know whether the money came from his mechanical disciples or his family...

"This prison can be self-sufficient in everything, but there’s one thing that definitely won’t work." Clo looked at Jiang Shu, "Drugs; they can’t produce drugs here, so a truck delivering medicine comes in every month."

"Sneak out in the truck?" Jiang Shu followed his line of thought but then raised a doubt, "Can we get past the checkpoint at the gate? If escaping in a truck was that easy, then this place is too shoddy, right?"

To this, Clo’s answer was still simple, "I have money, and I’ve bribed the prison guards on duty that day."

"..."

Jiang Shu had no objections; escaping from this prison was so easy, it lacked any thrill, thumbs down!

But he also knew that in his previous life, it was almost impossible to break out of prison. Technology brought not only high-tech products but also more advanced systems, which was the same here.

Aside from bribing enough prison guards and using the complacency of other guards from the decades without an escape incident to flee the prison, there really was no other good method. No matter how smart, decades or even centuries used as the cost of trial and error...

Unless one had the hypnotic ability like a fox, or some special Key Master authority, or like Jiang Shu, could just take a ride back to the city and perform a Big Transformation.

"What are the odds of a successful prison break?" Jiang Shu asked a key question.

"I wouldn’t dare to say too much, but it’s definitely doable," Clo said with a confident smile.

"...Okay." Jiang Shu nodded, then asked another key question, "But I have one most fundamental question, the Second Level mutations you just mentioned..."

He shook his head, "Are they real? I don’t believe it."

"How about you ask your female... friend?" Clo suggested with a blink.

Jiang Shu thought there was something wrong with his pause, but after a moment’s thought, he hoped there was nothing wrong with it.

"I can be sure; she doesn’t know there’s such research going on here." Jiang Shu shook his head, he remembered Sister Ruo saying that her research was not the same as that lunatic’s; Sister Ruo’s presence here was likely for borrowing the location or materials.

Therefore, Sister Ruo’s answer was of no help to his judgment; to verify Clo’s words, he had to check it himself.

"I knew you wouldn’t believe me." Clo shrugged helplessly, "So I’ve decided, I’ll take you to have a look tonight."

"I have plans tonight." Jiang Shu said seriously.

"..." Clo was speechless, this turn of events was unexpected.

"But I’ve decided to ditch my plans and join you once more in the Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave," Jiang Shu continued, his expression resolute.

"Fine." Clo pursed his lips in agreement; he had achieved his goal.

Suddenly, the cafeteria became noisy.

Jiang Shu looked behind Clo; that direction had grown tumultuous, it seemed like someone had started a fight over an argument.

Starting from those two, the inmates split into two groups, one yelling "rabbits are expensive" and the other shouting "melons are expensive," making the scene utterly chaotic.

In a distant spot, a disheveled guy stood on a dining table, talking away about a stand-up comedy that wasn’t funny at all, surrounded by an audience with mocking, malevolent smiles on their faces.

In front of Jiang Shu, Clo turned his back to the strife and turmoil, calmly picking up a bowl with only a spoonful of thick soup left, and drank it down.

"Calm down." Clo smacked his lips, sounding somewhat unsatisfied, "This soup is too salty."

"See, the debates in the courts, too inefficient, and not everyone gets a chance to speak," he continued, smiling faintly, "Equality, right? The hawks always talk about it, so, give it to them, I guess."

Jiang Shu obviously understood what he was referring to and sighed, "Violence is not the best way to solve problems."

"But it’s the most effective,"

Clo blinked innocently, adding on.

Jiang Shu shrugged, handing him a note, "Do me a favor, I want to perform a magic trick."

"Hmm?" Clo took the note.

"Just read it." Jiang Shu smiled and then ran to the very front center table of the cafeteria, jumped on it, spread his arms wide, and stamped his foot hard to draw everyone’s attention.
