Han Lang saw almost all of his friends from Pantheon Corporation in the prison beneath the castle. However, this did not make Han Lang happy at all. Because of him, everyone had lost their freedom. This was an outcome that Han Lang could not accept no matter what.
* Bang! *
The alloy iron door of the prison was closed. Han Lang looked around the cell. The facilities were quite humane, with a separate bathroom, a desk and chair, and a simple single bed.
As for the alloy structure of the cell, Han Lang felt that it was completely fragile. All it took was one hand to twist the alloy iron bars. It seemed that the guards of the cell were not afraid that the prisoners would escape at all.
* Beep! *
An ear-piercing sound was heard, and then all the cell doors opened. Han Lang walked out of the cell like the others. There were many wooden tables and chairs in the center of the cell, and the prisoners were allowed to move around freely.
The Blue-blooded Boya shrugged and said, "I heard from the guards that this is the toughest cell in Pantheon Corporation. Those iron cages are just decorations. What's really trapping us is these layers of special alloy walls that can automatically cancel out source power. Even a super wargod like Sima Hunfeng can't destroy these alloys.
"Outside the prison, there's also the Pantheon Corporation's law enforcement corps. Those guys are all cold-blooded killers. The corporation specializes in training such emotionless warriors. They have no humanity at all, like robots that only know how to obey orders."
"I'm sorry to have dragged you guys into this," Han Lang said with a bitter smile. "Did they do anything to you? “
Sima Hunfeng patted Han Lang on the shoulder and said disapprovingly, "When they first asked us to confess your secret, they said that you had an affair with a traitor from Pantheon Corporation, but we didn't know anything. As time went by, those guys couldn't be bothered to interrogate us anymore. They just wouldn't let us out."
"Look at this cell. Most of the time, it's open, and the doors aren't closed. No one cares what we do. They only order us to return to our respective rooms when they want to interrogate someone. Once they're gone, we can come out again."
Han Lang nodded. Although it seemed like everyone was not mistreated in the prison, Han Lang still felt bad.
As for Sima Hun Feng's words, they were only meant to comfort Han Lang. In reality, they were already trapped in the Pantheon Corporation's toughest prison. Their survival was uncertain, and there was nothing they could do.
Silver Wolf lay quietly on Han Lang's thighs. Phantom Claw and Demon Claw continued to guard Han Lang's sides, just like they usually did. With these friends of his, no one blamed Han Lang. In fact, no one even asked him whether he was in cahoots with the traitor. Everyone showed enough trust in Han Lang.
Han Lang did not say a word. His fingers carelessly brushed across his neck, and a black light flashed in his eyes.
.....
On the dark side of the universe, Specter Space Station 9527.
Sigh ~
Sitting on the large chair, 9527 rubbed his temples and let out a sigh, looking very worried.
"Master, this is not your fault. After all, we've been doing whatever we want in the Pantheon Corporation for so many years. It's only logical that the Pantheon Corporation has developed a system to block us. Besides, you said yourself that even if you leave, there are still many powerhouses in the Pantheon Corporation." The artificial intelligence queen comforted 9527 with her electronically synthesized female voice.
9527 curled its lips and said, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let Han Lang go back. And I even pretended to warn him before he left. Look at what a stupid thing I've done. I just realized that Dew Qiulin's granddaughter likes Han Lang, and I know Dew Qiulin's temper too well. That narrow-minded girl will definitely make things difficult for Han Lang.
"But in the end, I can't wait for Han Lang to meet Dew Qiulin. Judging from the way they're doing things this time, it should be those old guys from the council. They've been hiding it from me for a long time. I've always claimed to know all the movements of the Pantheon Corporation like the back of my hand, but now I've suffered a crushing defeat."
The queen said, "According to the information I have, the news was leaked by Zhu Yanan, and it directly reached the highest level of the corporation. They intervened in the investigation of Han Lang and those related to Han Lang, and in the process of the investigation, they used the shielding program developed by the council for us. We've never encountered such an incident before, and the lack of preparation led to the incident getting completely out of control."
"Master, this really isn't your fault."
At this time, a deep voice came from afar. "It's meaningless to discuss who's right and who's wrong now. The key is how to rescue Han Lang."
9527 looked back and saw that it was Pluto. He frowned and said, "It's not that simple. Since the council has developed a shielding system for me, they let me know the specific situation of Han Lang being imprisoned."
"They did it on purpose to lure me into the trap."
"If I go to save Han Lang, it will prove that Han Lang and I are in cahoots, and if I don't do anything, Han Lang will be trapped in the cell until he dies."
"And that's not the worst. I know this prison and this city very well. It's the City of Trials of the Pantheon Corporation, an extremely strong military fortress. Even if I risk my life, there's less than a one percent chance of rescuing Han Lang. The most likely outcome is that he, me, and everyone else will die in battle."
Pluto was stunned and said in a deep voice, "So you're saying that Han Lang can't be saved? Not only will everyone die, but it may even implicate the people of Earth. That's what Han Lang really cares about."
9527 waved his hand and said, "It won't involve ordinary people. The people of the Dark Net have never interfered in the affairs of the universe. Unless Han Lang is bold enough to attack the Pantheon Corporation with the Earth army, the Earth army and the immigrants in the Double Horse Sector will be fine."
"Take this time, for example. Of course, the Pantheon Corporation knows that the Solar System is a group of hidden Astral Gods, but they didn't do anything."
9527 stole a glance at Pluto as it spoke. When it mentioned the Astral Gods, Pluto's eyelids twitched slightly. Although it was only a small detail, it did not escape 9527's eyes.
Pluto said, "Then what should we do?"
9527 shook its head and said, "There's nothing we can do. The Pantheon Corporation came prepared this time. The City of Trials does not exist to imprison a small character like Han Lang. Once Han Lang goes in, he will never come out. Don't be fooled by the sloppy and ordinary appearance of this prison. This is the unique feature of the City of Trials, which is to paralyze everyone."
"Anyone who wants to break out of the prison will be ruthlessly crushed, and anyone who wants to break out of the prison will also be destroyed!"
"The City of Trials is like an automatic gallows, waiting for someone to move. As long as they move, they will die!"
9527's resolute words made Pluto feel a stabbing pain in his heart. For some reason, Pluto had a good impression of Han Lang, whom he had only known for a short time, and did not want Han Lang to be harmed.
"We have to be prepared for the worst," 9527 added. "With Han Lang's character, he is likely to choose to break out of the prison, and that will be the conspiracy of the Pantheon Corporation's board of directors. They will have enough reason to kill Han Lang without a trial or investigation."
"These guys would rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one go. I can feel that they are waiting for Han Lang to break out of the prison so they can kill him. What's more, they will encourage and even help Han Lang to break out of the prison."
"Han Lang once told me about a place called the Forgotten Realm. He said that there are no good people in the Forgotten Realm, but how would he know that there are no good people under the Dark Web!"
.....
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
In the Central Control Room of the City of Trials, the Lord of the City of Trials, Constantine, was looking at a screen opposite him. On the screen, Han Lang and his friends were sitting on a bench in the middle of the prison cell, drinking tea and whispering something.
Suddenly …
An Invisible Wristband on Constantine's wrist vibrated gently. He then stood up and left the command center. He came to a dark room and turned on a screen.
On the screen was an old man wearing a white robe with a golden ribbon. It was the standard attire of the Pantheon Corporation's board of directors.
"Director Stephen, you were looking for me?" Constantine asked.
Director Stephen nodded and said, "Yes, although it did not go well, the board's final decision has been made, so I'm here to convey the board's final decision to you."
"It did not go well?" Constantine asked curiously. He had rarely heard Stephen use such words.
Hmph!
Stephen snorted coldly and said, "It's all because of Kabri. He and many people in his border army think that Han Lang is a rare talent and will become a pillar of the border army in the future. So, Kabri has repeatedly said that even if Han Lang is guilty, he will be given a fair trial."
Constantine asked, "Then, is Han Lang guilty?"
Stephen said, "There's a lack of evidence. I didn't expect Dew Qiulin to intervene in this matter. His granddaughter, Dew Jianjia, has provided a testimony that is very favorable to Han Lang. Moreover, this matter is logically unfounded."
"Han Lang is just a small character from the universe. The probability of him interacting with 9527 is too low. 9527 is a loner and has always been a loner. Yet, he just had to place Han Lang as his spy within the corporation. This speculation is too far-fetched."
Constantine nodded and said, "I think so too. So, are we going to release Han Lang and the others?"
"Release!?" A cold glint flashed in Stephen's eyes as he said in a strange tone, "Are you kidding me?"
