Arc 2 chapter 18 : New comrade

  I was walking through the prison while a few polices accompanied me, as one of them gripped my arm to prevent me from doing anything

  As I was walking, my eyes kept looking around while I was making sure my head didn't turn around to ensure the police didn't feel suspicious

  They then brought me to a cell, slid the door open, uncuffed me, and pushed me inside before they closed the door and locked it back with a magic stone, making it impossible to be lockpicked by any means

  "Trye t? m?kh? phr??ndhsh wy?th ye??r k?llm?t? wy?n't ye??? Wyh? khn?wysh ye?? m?ght n??dh ?t "

  ("Try to make friends with your cellmate won't you? Who knows you might need it ") One of the officers mocked me

  "Wy?ll, ye?? v?tt?r dh?dh. ?ph ye?? g?t v??t?n ?p vye th?m, wy? wy?n't g?z? ? ph?kkh. H?h?h?h?! "

  ("Well, you better did. If you get beaten up by them, we won't give a fuck. Hahahaha! ") Another officer joined mocking me

  But, instead of reacting, I calmly looked at them before sitting down on the bed, making them feel annoyed at me

  "Tkkh, th?sh v?ye ?lr??dhye ?kk?pt?d h?sh ph?t?. Ph?kkh?ng v?r?ng "

  ("Tck, this boy already accepted his fate. Fucking boring ")

  "Dh?n't wy?rrye. Wy?'r? ?v??t t? h??r h?sh shkr??m ?ph pl??sh sh??n "

  ("Don't worry. We're about to hear his scream of pleas soon ")

  They then looked at my face one last time before walking away from the cell

  A few moments after they were gone, my cellmate then got up from his own bed and approached me, before he slapped my shoulder lightly

  "??, v?ye. Wyh?t'sh ye??r n?m?? "

  ("Oi, boy. What's your name? ") A man in his 30s spoke in a deep voice while staring at me

  "Dh?n?. Ye??? "

  ("Dani. You? ")

  "K?ll m? R??n "

  ("Call me Rian ") He said before offering his right hand, wanting to shake hands with me

  I then calmly got up from my bed and shook his hand, and noticed he was smirking at me

  "Wy?lk?m? t? ye??r n?wy h??sh?, v?ye "

  ("Welcome to your new house, boy ")

  "Hmm, th?nkhsh ph?r th? wy?rm wy?lk?m? "

  ("Hmm, thanks for the warm welcome ") I said calmly

  Hmm, tight grip. . .

  He then sat beside me and stared directly into my eyes, as if he was trying to get a read on me

  . . . Did he try to get a read on me?

  . . . Guess I'll let him. After all, I want to see how accurate his reading is.

  Plus, if I try to mask my expression, he might think there's something wrong and weird with me

  After a few seconds, he then lightly nodded his head as he was satisfied with what he managed to read about me

  "Hmm, ye??'r? ?nt?r?sht?ng "

  ("Hmm, you're interesting ") He said to me

  "H?wy sh?? "

  ("How so? ")

  ("Haha, I don't easily trust people. I mean if you're a fucker, I need to deal with you immediately. Don't you agree? ") He looked at me sharply

  I just stared at his face calmly, didn't feel threatened by what he said before I heard the cell door slide open by itself

  "T? ?ll th? pr?sh?n?rsh, ?t'sh t?m? ph?r dh?nn?r. H??dh t? th? k?ph?t?r?? ?mm?dh??t?lye "

  ("To all the prisoners, it's time for dinner. Head to the cafeteria immediately ") I heard the officer's voice from the speaker

  He then tapped my shoulder and got up before he looked at me with his smirk

  "K?m? ?n, wy? shh??ldh ??t sh?m? ph??dh, dh?n't ye?? th?nkh? "

  ("Come on, we should eat some food, don't you think? ")

  "Hmm "

  ("Hmm ")

  After taking a tray of food, I sat down beside Rian as he looked at someone while chewing his food

  "Ye?? sh?? th?t g?ye? "

  ("You see that guy? ") He said, pointing at someone not too far away

  I then looked at the person he was pointing at, who was now eating while holding her fork between her index and middle fingers

  The speaker was then active once again before everyone there heard the same voice through the speaker again

  "D?nn?r'sh t?m? ?z?r. ?z?rye?n? v?kkh t? th??r k?ll "

  ("Dinner's time over. Everyone back to their cell ")

  We both then saw every single prisoner there got up and walked out from the cafeteria back to their own cell, each following the order obediently with an expression of fear and anger

  As I watched them walk away, I noticed Rian's eyes looked down slightly, as if feeling pity for the prisoners

  Hmm, so you feel sad for their fates huh?

  . . . Then perhaps the success rate of my plan A could increase more than I originally thought

  As I was asleep, someone then slapped my shoulder a few times to wake me up
