Chapter 107: Pieces of the Puzzle #4

He had the things needed to control Yoo Cheol-ho, and now he could really start exploring the prison . After taking out the goods in his stomach, Tae-hyuk sat on the bed and rested for a while .

Even if the wound disappeared with ‘Cancel’, the damage to the body remained .

“…But even the blood is gone? Isn’t this almost like turning back time?”

Tae-hyuk looked at the bed sheets that had been soaked in his blood . It was so dirty that it wouldn’t have been cleaned even if he washed it . But now it was like being dried in the sunshine after being washed in a steam machine .

“Then I need to hide these . ”

The silicon pack contained multiple medications and cards . He took out everything from the pack, rolled it upside down, and took out a small waterproof sheet . Once he unfolded it, the same pattern as the wall of the cell was drawn . The silicon pack was stretched as thinly as possible, pressed to the wall, and the waterproof sheet was stuck on top . He used Forgery on the sides to make it naturally connect to the wall . It couldn’t be found unless the pattern of the wall was carefully touched .

“It is really perfect…!”

Tae-hyuk looked at his work with a satisfied expression . Since he became a Noble, the quality of Forgery has risen further . What about the ‘King’ status? Just imagining it gave him goosebumps .

“But what I have to do to become a King?”

He became a Noble by catching black list members and raising his stats . If he thought about it simply, couldn’t he become a King the same way? Since then, he had raised his stats a lot but there weren’t any messages on the Demon Revealing Mirror . Maybe he couldn’t get promoted in the same way .

“Well, won’t I know sooner or later? First, let’s just do what I need to do for now . ”

He checked Yoo Cheol-ho’s status and saw no signs of waking up . Tae-hyuk scratched his head and put the spring back in the sketchpad .

“I have paper and a pencil so I’ll draw a blueprint of this place . ”

He never knew what would happen in prison, so he would just do what he could . Tae-hyuk sharpened the pencil, which had distorted into a weird shape, one more time so that he could draw something . Then he did the same thing as he did in Atlantis .

Less than 10 minutes later, he had a blueprint of this place . He put it in the place where he hid the medicine .

“Kuoong… I don’t feel good . I keep sleeping all day long . ”

Yoo Cheol-ho, who was lying on the top bunk, woke up and stretched .

“Eh? Why does my head hurt?”

He touched the back of his head as he felt a sharp pain .

Tae-hyuk said with a smile,

“A guard came . You were so deeply asleep that he hit you . ”

“Damn . When I get the chance, I’ll pay that bastard back . ”

Yoo Cheol-ho gritted his teeth as he thought about the guards .

Some time passed .

“Hey Newbie . ”

Yoo Cheol-ho laughed and looked down at Tae-hyuk .

“Don’t be so hard . I growled like that last time because I didn’t know who you were . Now I know you well so let’s be friendly with each other . ”

Tae-hyuk was supposed to be sentenced for seven years due to special theft and assault . Yoo Cheol-ho learned about this and treated Tae-hyuk as a subordinate .

“I’ll consider it . ”

“Ohuhu… Newbie . Aren’t there rumors that you have something good?”

Yoo Cheol-ho made a smoking gesture .

‘Ah, he also smokes . ’

Tae-hyuk didn’t see it often because Yoo Cheol-ho didn’t have money, but he remembered seeing several cigarettes .

“Do you have a story to tell me?”

“I don’t . Instead, how about this?”

In fact, Yoo Cheol-ho did have information that he could offer for the cigarettes . However, it would be dangerous if the information entered the guards’ ears . Of course, Yoo Cheol-ho never dreamt that Tae-hyuk already knew about it .

Tae-hyuk looked at Yoo Cheol-ho like he was interested .

“Is there anyone you want to kill? Originally, I don’t accept any contracts . I’m only doing it this time because we are roommates . Ohuhu, if you tell me their name and where they live, then I will send them to the other world . How about it?”

Tae-hyuk smiled without saying anything . He was someone who returned to jail after successfully escaping twice .

Yoo Cheol-ho was in jail right now . Telling someone that he would kill a person was like saying that he was thinking of escape . In addition, Yoo Cheol-ho wasn’t a professional killer like the Chinese man Tae-hyuk recently met . Yoo Cheol-ho just killed a few people weaker than him .

“I’m sorry, but the conditions are the same for everyone . Bring information that will please m, then I’ll give you cigarettes . ”

Tae-hyuk pulled out a pack and shook it in Yoo Cheol-ho’s face, as if it was a taunt . Yoo Cheol-ho didn’t know if it was planned but he saw it that way . Yoo Cheol-ho reached out a trembling hand towards Tae-hyuk .

Then he coughed a few times before lying back down on the bed .

“Cough . That’s okay . Be stingy . ”

It seemed like it would be a few days before Yoo Cheol-ho gave in . There was nothing to do here except to eat and smoke . Therefore, that temptation was intense . Tae-hyuk and extended a cup full of sticky coffee to Yoo Cheol-ho .

“I’ll give it for free . ”

“Wait a few days . I’ll come with a great story . ”

Yoo Cheol-ho gulped down the coffee without knowing that there were strong sleeping pills inside . After less than five minutes, he was in a deep sleep .

Tae-hyuk decided to leave the cell tonight .

@

He slapped Yoo Cheol-ho’s cheeks hard enough to make a sound . However, there were no signs of him waking up . It felt like he was rewarded for the hard work of bringing the medicine in here .

He didn’t hear anything moving except for a few guards patrolling . However, there was the sound of sleepless prisoners gossiping .

Tae-hyuk quietly left the cell using Yoo Cheol-ho’s tunnel . It was only one meter long . However, that was enough for Tae-hyuk .

Tae-hyuk used Counterfeit to disguise his clothes as the guard uniform . The navy uniform of the guards was born . He could walk through the front door of the prison and no one would notice . He could escape without the tunnel .

“First of all, let’s confirm where I can go . ”

Tae-hyuk walked casually down the hallway lined with cells . He could hear them talking .

“…I have to kill him . ”

There was somebody burning another person’s flesh .

“Nowadays, the technology regarding gene collection has developed so much that your identity will be known if you leave a hair or skin cell behind .

“Then what can I do?”

“First of all, the best thing is to build a workshop with a tarp where you can handle the other person . Even if blood splashes, all the traces will disappear once the vinyl is peeled off . But if you can’t do that, you need to do some DNA removal . ”

“Hoh…”

There was also someone giving away his secret know-how . The prison was basically a correctional facility . But in this manner, it became a crime school to transfer their skills to others .

Tae-hyuk clicked his tongue and muttered,

“How is that not one of these guys change?”

It was cute that they liked bragging about the crimes they committed . As Tae-hyuk was exploring, he heard something strange .

“Then did you trade with the newbie who entered last week?”

“What about it? I can smoke a cigarette after a long time . ”

“No matter how I looked at it, something is strange . Maybe he is a spy planted by the cops . ”

“He doesn’t smell like a cop . Plus, have you seen his appearance? If he is a cop then I am the police commissioner . ”

“Kuhaha . Anyways, it stinks . ”

“But I was wondering about what he was hearing . Apparently it isn’t crime related? He also didn’t ask anything about other criminals . ”

“Kuoong… Really? Then what the hell is his purpose?”

“Shh! There is a guard . ”

“……”

Tae-hyuk deliberately made his footsteps louder and confirmed who the prisoner was .

‘Hrmm, I was expecting some people to be suspicious . It is this guy . ’

He was someone who successfully broke out of Blue Dragon Prison with Yoo Cheol-ho .

‘Anyway, I need a good reason for gathering the information . ’

This place was very narrow . The doubts would soon spread like an epidemic . Before that, he needed to take some measures .

Tae-hyuk quietly left the area where the Korean inmates lived .

@

Once he moved to the area where the Chinese prisoners lived, he felt something strange . In the darkness, a few guards and Chinese inmates were leaving the cells and moving somewhere .

“…It isn’t an escape . What is it?”

Since he got the crime skills, Tae-hyuk’s eyesight had sharpened . He could see the shapes of people from far away in the moonlight .

The suspicious group was going to an off limits area . It was a place Tae-hyuk had never been, despite living here for nearly 10 years .

“They aren’t sneaking in to secretly dig up the gold are they?”

Tae-hyuk followed behind the group . They arrived near a place where someone was standing guard .

‘What, there are no cells in there, so what is he guarding? Isn’t this huge?’

Tae-hyuk recalled the face of one of the guards in charge of the Chinese . Fortunately, he knew someone .

‘Then Disguise!’

Tae-hyuk changed his face and casually approached the guard .

“Ah, you went through a lot of trouble . ”

“Uh, didn’t you just pass by?”

“What nonsense are you saying? Did you fall asleep while working?”

“Ah, no . Keep up the good work!”

He easily passed by the guard .

“Strange… I could’ve sworn that he just went by . ”

Tae-hyuk smiled and followed the people ahead of him . The place where the Chinese people ended up was a huge vegetable garden . The Chinese prisoners and guards were harvesting something .

“Hurry! This is the warden’s command! The harvesting must be finished by tomorrow!”

Then Chinese curse words emerged . Tae-hyuk realized what the plant was .

‘…Cannabis?’

It was very difficult to grow cannabis since the awful smell made it difficult to grow it indoors . Nurturing it like this…

‘This is what the warden was hiding . ’

He estimated that there was around 200~300 trees .

‘Can’t 15g be extracted from a single tree?’

Let’s say there are 300 trees . An enormous amount of drugs, 4 . 5 kg at a time, was being grown in the prison . It was enough to make thousands of people addicts .

‘It is around 50,000 won for 1g… So around 300 million won for one harvest?’

It seemed like the Blue Dragon Prison wouldn’t have just one farm . After harvesting the cannabis, carrots and radishes could be planted to disguise it as an ordinary garden . Drug growing was possible because outsiders only entered here a few times a year .

Tae-hyuk’s mouth twitched .

He had no idea that he would find a drug field when he went looking for gold .
