Chapter 1650 - 1313: Escort (First Update)
The interior style of this Central Prison is quite similar to the Endless Deep Space Prison.
It also uses a mix of Artificial Intelligence-controlled Mechanical Guards and Prison Soldiers for defense, but comparatively, the Mechanical Guards here follow the commands of the Prison Officers, acting more as a supplement.
Along the way, all Prison Soldiers seeing Garvey and Su Mo greeted them with eyes full of respect.
"Prison Director!"
"Lord Su Mo!"
...
Su Mo casually observed his surroundings with interest.
From time to time, he could see prisoners being escorted inside by the soldiers.
From what he could see, this prison mostly consisted of independent pigeon-hole style rooms, and the escorting soldiers seemed quite amiable.
"Things seem pretty good here."
Su Mo said mildly.
Garvey immediately replied obsequiously, "Lord Su Mo, to be honest, this prison can’t compare to the Endless Deep Space Prison. But surviving here isn’t easy either; it’s just another kind of environment."
Su Mo unexpectedly took a look at Garvey, who craftily revealed inside information, appearing exceptionally sincere.
Even if he did notice any negative signs, he couldn’t comment much.
"Hmm, where is Yurika being held?"
Su Mo asked calmly.
"Of course, it’s deeper inside. This way, please!"
Garvey quickly replied, picking up his pace to lead Su Mo further inside.
The deeper they went, the structure of the prison cells remained unchanged, but the atmosphere began to shift dramatically. They could see prisoners tortured beyond recognition, lying on the verge of life and death inside the cells.
Many prisoners saw Garvey and began crying out desperately.
"Let me out, I’m innocent!"
...
Garvey remained unmoved and unembarrassed.
Soon, Garvey guided Su Mo to the deepest part of the prison, where there was a single cell, specifically used for temporarily holding major offenders.
Outside the cell, ten chairs were arranged.
Each chair had a Star Ring City Officer sitting on it, clad in Bio Armor and military attire, their expressions fierce.
Especially the burly man sitting in the center—his entire body was muscular, his gaze sharp as a blade, and on his stern face, a centipede-like scar remained, hinting that this was a seasoned warrior.
As Su Mo and Garvey entered the room, all of them turned their heads to look.
Su Mo involuntarily took a deep breath in surprise. My goodness!
A Major General, four Colonels, and six Lieutenant Colonels were present, such a display was unmatched.
It’s known that Star Ring City Officers are generally extremely busy.
At that moment, the leading burly man led everyone to stand and salute Su Mo in unison.
"Lord Su Mo."
"Hmm!"
For a moment, Su Mo didn’t know how to address them, so he returned the gesture, mainly because he wasn’t acquainted with any of them.
Garvey immediately introduced them to Su Mo, saying, "This is General Kabur, he’s the deputy leader of this transfer operation, and the other officers are here to assist in the transfer."
"Thank you all for your hard work."
Su Mo nodded slightly and said to everyone.
"It’s our duty."
Kabur responded steadily.
After brief pleasantries, Su Mo walked to the entrance of the isolated cell. It had a one-way viewing window, allowing people outside to see inside, but those inside couldn’t see out.
Through this viewing window, Su Mo clearly saw a man inside, wearing very ordinary clothes, but with a handsome and refined appearance, his demeanor calm and relaxed, sitting quietly in the cell.
His hands and feet were bound with primitive special handcuffs and shackles.
The cell was furnished with all necessary living supplies, and even the prison meals on the dining table were quite sumptuous.
"Is this Yurika?"
Su Mo spoke with interest.
"Yes, he’s Yurika, one of the former Royal Order of Twelve Knights."
Garvey laughed and introduced him.
"Hmm, he doesn’t seem like a vicious criminal at all!"
Su Mo carefully observed him and casually chatted with Garvey.
"Lord Su Mo, you might not be fully aware of Yurika. He was never a heinous criminal. Quite the opposite, his reputation is excellent, even I’m very impressed. Frankly speaking, as you’ve seen, other prisoners without connections face different conditions, but have you noticed me treating him any less?"
Garvey explained to Su Mo.
"Such a good reputation?"
"Absolutely, otherwise, why would so many people come to plead for him outside? Frankly speaking, Yurika’s plight is due to opposing Lord of Icaroya, and thus he ended up in this predicament."
Garvey said with deep emotion.
"Indeed."
"Oh, by the way, Lord Su Mo, I need to remind you that during the transfer, you must be cautious; this operation won’t be easy, and someone might attempt an interception."
"I understand."
After hearing this, Su Mo felt somewhat helpless, having just taken on such a dangerous task upon his appointment.
At that moment, Su Mo’s bracelet vibrated, and a notification popped up.
"Respected Lord Su Mo, your Mecha has been repaired and has now been transferred to the Central Prison’s starship bay, on the Star Destroyer Floating Light."
Upon seeing this information, Su Mo was highly astonished; the capabilities of Star Ring City were remarkable, repairing his Mecha in such a short time—such efficiency was simply beyond words.
He suppressed his surprise and said to Garvey, "Open the cell, we’re transferring."
"No problem, I’ll open the cell for you right away."
Garvey eagerly walked over, took a special set of keys from his waist, and inserted them into the lock to unlock it.
After a complex series of operations!
Click!
The solid closed door opened.
Su Mo led the officers inside.
At this point, Yurika, who was calmly sitting in the corner, slowly raised his head to glance at Su Mo, then began to stand up.
He was well aware of the impending transfer.
Su Mo took several more looks at Yurika, realizing he was more cooperative than expected, and then said, "Take him away."
"Yes!"
Kabur promptly responded, stepping forward.
...
Not long afterward, Su Mo and others successfully escorted Yurika to the starship bay.
Here, a Star Destroyer, 170 kilometers long, was docked—its entire armor white, and the hull shape resembling a light cone, with a variety of launch openings scattered across its surface.
It’s evident that this was a standard Star Destroyer; its performance wasn’t necessarily top-grade, but nor was it poor.
At that moment, several officers had been waiting for some time; seeing Su Mo escorting the prisoner, they all saluted.
"Lord Su Mo."
Su Mo nodded slightly and calmly issued the order.
"Board, and depart immediately!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Momentarily, the Star Destroyer Floating Light sailed out of Star Ring City, heading towards the distant starry sky.
Inside the ship, Su Mo and Kabur, along with others, remained in a room with Yurika.
