The death penalty was a rather complicated punishment. It was not as simple as killing someone who had committed a heinous crime.
Death was not the best punishment for someone who had committed a heinous crime. The murderous intent and evil they had brought would bring unbearable pain to others for years, or even decades. If an electric chair, a hanging, or a firing squad were enough to put an end to it, it would be a relief for the criminal!
The truly terrifying punishment was not being erased from the world by a bullet or a moment of pain, but being imprisoned in a pitch-black, icy cage for the rest of their lives. They would not be able to see the sun, nor the people around them. Every day felt like a year, with no end in sight!
The Enforcement Union of Japan had long abolished the death penalty for the criminals who had committed heinous crimes. They were put under house arrest for life.
Since the criminals were usually very resourceful and powerful, a normal prison would never be able to contain these evil Magicians. The East Guard Tower was built to house them.
It could be said that the most terrifying fanatics, sinners, and traitors of Japan were all locked up here. Among them, there was no lack of powerful Mages who were strong enough to wipe out several cities, as well as some Evil Mages who specialized in using evil spells to harm people …
On top of that, ordinary evil Magicians were not even qualified to be imprisoned here. The ones who were imprisoned here were definitely the top level evil Magicians!
Mochizuki Chihaya's Mochizuki Clan had been in charge of this top-level prison for a long time. The way the East Guard Tower was built made it impossible for the evil Magicians to escape. The only exit was at the other end of the corridor. It was basically a military fortress!
Mofan could not help but feel a chill down his spine after learning the truth.
The West Guard Pavilion was supposed to be a place with a fortress, a city defense, an institute, and an association. To his surprise, the building next door was actually a prison for murderous Magicians. As a woman, wouldn't she feel uncomfortable sleeping in a place like this?
"Some evil Magicians from other countries are imprisoned here, too. It's the scariest prison for Magicians in Asia," added Mochizuki Chihaya.
"If you're saying that there are all kinds of evil Magicians here, aren't you worried that they will team up and destroy the East Guard Tower? I believe it won't be difficult for them to destroy a little castle like this, considering what they have done, right?" said Mofan.
"If the restriction exists, they are just a group of ordinary people. When they were brought here, their souls would be branded with the Seal of Sin. If they tried to activate the magic in their bodies, the magic formation would immediately attack them … On top of that, the East Guardian Tower is under a prolonged Curse. The longer they stay here, the weaker their Spiritual Energy and soul will be. Normally, a Super Magician's Spiritual Energy would be no different than a Basic Magician after ten years here, "Mochizuki Chihaya explained to Mofan.
"Then, we are not inside this curse?" Mofan hurriedly asked.
"It's only been a short while, so it won't affect us much. Come with me, don't get left behind. There's a Shadow Formation in here. The whole building is like a maze. You won't be able to find your way in without a plan … "reminded Mochizuki Chihaya. However, she only took a few steps forward when Mofan bumped into her from behind. She glared at him," You don't have to follow me so closely! "
"Let's go back, this place feels weird to me." Mofan was planning to back out.
"Are you scared?"
"I'm just being considerate. Think about it, the criminals here haven't seen a woman for many years, let alone someone with your body … ugh, forget I said anything."
…
The corridors inside the East Guardian Tower were extremely narrow. Mofan had no idea where the space inside the tower was. At least judging from the narrow corridors, stairs, and stairs, it felt like eighty percent of the space inside the East Guardian Tower was made of walls.
"There's something I need to tell you, as a kind reminder … the duel between you and the guards has been recorded. If I'm not mistaken, the duel will be sent to the representatives of the national team." Mochizuki Chihaya was obviously a righteous person. She was unable to accept the truth.
If the duel was going to be recorded, they should at least ask for permission from the people involved.
"It's nothing," Mofan did not think much of it. He did not think it was a big deal. Besides, he did not even use his full strength. Why would the Japanese try to trick him? There was nothing to be concerned about.
The place was extremely quiet. Mofan was someone who was afraid of silence. He recalled the warning lights and asked, "What's that enormous creature in the ocean? Is it related to the disturbance in the East Guardian Tower?"
"I don't know, but I don't think a creature of that level is easy to mobilize," Mochizuki Chihaya fell into deep thought.
"You still haven't told me who the person who has the same Soul Seed as you is. Why did he kill the guards?" asked Mofan.
"I have a half-brother. We grew up together. Around last year, he went missing all of a sudden. I couldn't find him anywhere … "Mochizuki Chihaya hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Mofan about it.
"You're here to look for him?" asked Mofan curiously.
"Mmm, the Soul Seed we're using is called a stalk. It has two flowers on a stalk. I found one, and my brother found the other, "said Mochizuki Chihaya.
"Does that mean the person that killed the three guards is most likely your brother, Iwata? No wonder it's the same as the Soul Seed you're using, with gray-blue Bellflower Codon. But this is a prison for criminals, why would your brother Iwata be here … "said Mofan.
"That's what I want to know too … Commander Takagi is in charge of escorting everyone in this prison. If my brother is secretly being kept here, there's no way he wouldn't know. Even though my brother's surname isn't Mochizuki, he's loyal to the West Guard Pavilion. There's no way he would commit any crimes … I have to find out the truth! "said Mochizuki Chihaya firmly.
"At least he just killed three people," Mo Fan blurted out.
Mochizuki Chihaya glared at Mo Fan and said stubbornly, "I didn't have a choice!"
"Either way, let's find him first. Do you know where he's being kept?"
"Since he's causing a disturbance, there's only one place he'll be sent to …" said Mochizuki Chihaya confidently.
