Survive as a Prison Guard in the Game

Chapter 33
Emergency Mission (2)

War with Magnes

It’s one of the big events that are well detailed in the game. The stepping stone for a full-fledged leap of Burning Hell.

Which lasted for about 1 year.

The war ends when the boss of Magnes is arrested by the Special Organization ‘Cerberus’, to which the main NPCs Rebecca, Seria, and Khan belong.

The important things related to the war, including the incidents and battles that occurred in the process, have already been organized separately.

The main strongholds of Magnes and the events they will cause.

However, in order to use this more freely, there had to be a reason to convince the majority of the Special Task Force 7th Division.

Working alone also has its limits.

If Redin puts his mind to it, he’ll catch even the boss at once, but if that’s the case, the entirety of Burning Hell will definitely send him suspicious glances.

If he says he can see the future, he’ll only look like a raving madman, or will be imprisoned somewhere.

So what he thought was Marek Casino.

If he pretends to get information through him, who was a spy for Magnes back then, it will be easier to use the information he has.

More than anything.

This mission requires information that he doesn’t know, and only Marek has access.

*Pooh-pooh!*

A sailor approached with the sound of a boat horn.

“Sir Redin, we are arriving soon.”

“I’ll be down soon.”

After looking at Burning Hell in the distance, he turned around and went inside the ship.

A place he has already been to.

He went down the stairs and arrived at the bottom of the ship. He saw Harde, Lanto, and Baron Miracul locked inside their cages.

The eyes looking at him were filled with murderous intent.

In particular, Harde laughed with a cruel smirk.

“Take good care of your neck. The moment I break out again, I’ll rip that head off.”

“That won’t happen.” Redin answered frankly.

“There is nothing absolute in this world, you shit!” sneered Harde.

‘Is it really so?’

Redin just smiled and waited for the ship to arrive. It wasn’t long before the shaking came with the sound of an anchor dropping.

*Thunk!* *Thunk!* *Thunk!*

After a while.

A blue light came on the ceiling.

This means that the ship is docked at the port.

Redin took the keyring that was worn around his waist. He opened the cages with the key, and the arrest team waiting in the back entered.

They were chained to the manacles on their limbs and got dragged out. That’s how Baron Miracul and Harde came out of the cage.

Redin took them along and walked down the hall.

“I will open the door.”

When the arresting department guard who was waiting at the end pressed the button, the blocked iron plate went down and a path appeared in front of him.

The path led straight to the underground dungeon of Burning Hell.

It was built to move criminals. Along the way, Redin walked in the order of Harde, Lanto, and Baron Miracul.

Silence passed.

No sound can be heard in the entire trip except for their breathing. As he walked down the path, only the sound of many footsteps echoed across the hall.

It was Harde who broke the silence.

“I remembered all of your faces, See you later, let’s say goodbye for now. Kekeke. Lanto, you should say one too.”

“Hmmm..”

“Done? let’s just take all the guys here with us.”

Criminals don’t die.

These people know it, so they rather play with the prison guards enjoying their reactions.

*Flinch!*

One prison guard reacted.

Harde’s eyes, which did not miss that, flashed. At that moment, the guy’s steps staggered and he moved his body toward the guard.

A dagger worn by a prison guard.

Harde picked it up and ran straight to him. The guards couldn’t react to the quick movement.

“Didn’t I say earlier, I’ll take your head off.”

Harde, who smiled brightly, removed the mana inhibiting handcuffs in his hands. He then drew his mana.

Harde’s escape is expected.

To create this situation, Redin deliberately sabotaged Harde’s handcuffs, so that mana could be used even when he was handcuffed.

*Woosh!*

Harde disappeared from sight.

Raising his senses, Redin reacted calmly. Through the use of [Eye of Arrakis] and his previous combat experience, he figured out his location.

Left.

‘That’s a feint.’

When Redin turned his body slightly, he immediately moved to the right.

‘That is also fake one’

He looked straight ahead and stretched out his hand.

*Clench!*

He grabbed the arm of Harde, who was extending in front of him. Redin quickly twisted his wrist and used the Mask of the Dead.

[Target Harde]

*Squench!*

As Harde’s wrist was bent, Redin pierced him on the heart.

“Keugh!”

Harde’s body dropped, bleeding from his mouth. Redin grabbed him by the shoulder and whispered softly into his ear.

“You won’t be able to take my head off now.”

“You…This Fck… Basta…”

[The target has been killed.]

[The cursed soul is harvested.]

[You can change into Harde’s form.]

Future events to come.

In the emergency support mission that Harris went to first, Harde’s appearance will be of great help.

“Sir Redin! Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

* * *

Burning Hell Prison Guard cannot kill criminals.

However, the Special Task Force is relatively free from this restriction.

And

This case was able to pass without any complication because the situation was clear.

Redin handed over the prisoners and went to the security department.

He could see Vergo, who had been beaten by the Former Operations Head instead of him, in a corner.

“Senior Vergo.”

“who..? Redin?”

“Do you have a minute?”

Nodding his head, Vergo came out into the hallway. It seems like Redin seeing him after a month, and yet they’re not unfamiliar with each other at all.

“It’s been a long time.”

“How are you?”

“Well, just the same. you? I heard that you joined the Special Task Force, is it worth it?”

“I came here because of that. I have someone I need to meet regarding a mission.”

“Who?”

“A prisoner named Marek Casino.”

After Vergo told him to wait a minute, he went back to the security department. After a while, he snapped his fingers and opened his mouth.

“Follow me.”

While walking to the first basement floor, Redin looked at Burning Hell. Quite a lot has changed since before leaving for his initiation mission.

Overall, the old buildings have been turned into new ones.

As seen in the game.

As he walked the hall like that, Redin also passed the place where he was confined in Burning Hell for the first time. At first, it was a solitary cell, but the structure was now different.

“Ahh.. It’s a break room now.”

‘Is this why I couldn’t find Harungel’s Heart 1? But if a player couldn’t get it anyway, why did they make it?’

‘Looks like this was a bug too.’

Nothing else came to mind.

“But what kind of mission was it, to make you come and visit a prisoner in Burning Hell.”

“This is confidential.. Since you’re a senior, I’m saying this to you.”

Redin whispered quietly.

Vergo’s mouth twitched.

“Of course, We are one.”

“Abducted members of the arrest team transporting criminals from Magnes.”

Harris’s urgent mission.

There was a list of the abducted prison guards. Most of them were strangers, except the other two. These are people Redin knew.

Seria, one of the main NPCs.

And Heather, his roommate.

Five members of the arresting team, including the two were kidnapped and a member of the 7th Division who went to rescue them was also missing.

“Crazy.. bastards.”

It would be nice if Redin knew everything.

Unfortunately, there was very little useful information about this mission. The priority is to quickly meet Marek and convert him to his side.

“But Marek… why?”

“It seems difficult to say that much. If you do it wrong, even you, Senior Vergo could be in danger.”

“T-that… okay.”

“Ahh.. And there may be more traitors inside. So I want to have a quiet area to talk with Marek.”

“I know a perfect place.”

* * *

The good place Vergo said was solitary confinement cells.

All the prisoners are moved to the newly created solitary cell, and the old solitary cell where no one is incarcerated is free for them to use.

Redin waited for Vergo to come back.

Not long after, Vergo and Marek appeared with the sound of two footsteps. Vergo locked Marek in solitary confinement, winked and left to keep watch.

After recognizing the signs around him.

Redin spread his mana and blocked any sound from escaping.

Through the small iron bars the size of a fist, He could see Marek Casino.

Empty dull eyes were looking at him.

“I didn’t do anything to deserve solitary confinement.”

“I want to talk to you for a moment.”

“To be respectful to criminals…!”

Did Marek recognize his voice?

Marek’s eyes went cold.

“It was you. The one who talked about my daughter back then.”

*Bang!*

Marek punched the iron door with his fist. Then, holding the small barbed wire in his hands, he thrust his face forward.

“If you want to use my dead daughter to find out something, you better stop. I won’t say a single word.”

“Ben Bothaman.”

“…”

“Ben Bothaman, who was with you in the Ignis Knights of the Crane Kingdom. He has your daughter.”

Marek trembled.

“T-that mouth.. shut up.”

“Ellie Bothaman, 20 years old. She has pink hair and three spots on the back of her neck.”

“It’s hard… Shut up, Shut UP!”

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

Marek slammed the solitary cell’s iron door in succession.

His eyes were as red as if any minute the veins would burst, and the muscles all over his body twitched, possibly because he couldn’t control his anger.

“My daughter is dead.”

“Ben Bothaman loved your wife. So he sent you to jail and tried to get her.”

“… …”

“In the end your wife died, but before she died, she begged Ben Bothaman to save her daughter.”

Marek’s breathing hardened.

“… A trick.. L-lies… you’re lying.”

“Ben Bothaman switched the child, and took your daughter and raised her as his foster daughter.”

“Stop talking bullshit.”

“Ellie Bothaman looks very much like your wife. And now she is living confined in Bothaman Castle.”

“… …”

“And there are rumors that I’ve been hearing lately. Rumor has it that Ben Bothaman will take his foster daughter as his wife.”

This is something that was also in the game.

The character Marek Casino, where there were many unfortunate narratives. His daughter, Ellie Casino, was married to Ben Bothaman and lived an unhappy life.

And

A character story in which Marek Casino, who came out of prison, finds out about it and decides to take revenge.

“If you cooperate, you can save your daughter from misfortune.”

Until now, Marek has lived with all hopes dashed.

However, since he is denying it, it may not be easy to believe, but Marek has no choice but to choose.

The drooping man raised his head.

“How can I trust you?”

A relationship without trust.

While knowing nothing about each other.

The truth is being told, but nothing can be shown as proof of evidence.

A situation where Redin can only say to trust him.

However, if trust sprouts from this relationship, it will be a relationship of a different level.

“I hope you will never regret it for the rest of your life. If you give me your trust first, I will show you without betraying you.”

The choice is up to Marek alone.

He could see Marek’s troubled face holding his breath while closing his eyes for a moment. And about 10 minutes have passed.

Marek opened his eyes.

“How are you planning to get me out?”

“If you hand over information about Magnes, I will use it to hit their Organization. And I will turn the ball back to you and get you a pardon.”

But to be a traitor.

Marek will no longer have a sense of belonging to Magnes, so there shouldn’t be a big problem.

“What can I do?”

“A weakness that only Ben Bothaman can catch. And only Botha… No, I need information about Magnes Hideout in the former Eleanor Territory.”
