"Oh? You already know it?"
In sharp contrast to the somewhat frustrated Arthur Jack man, his deep and hoarse voice still said calmly, "In that case, let's take a mock assessment. If your assessment results satisfy me, you can graduate from here."
"What test?"
Arthur Jack man forced himself to calm down, only breathing heavily.
"There are two coins in your coat pocket. Put one of them into the groove on the iron door in front of you, open the door and go out."
The hoarse voice continued to sound.
Arthur Jack man lowered his head and looked at his upper body. Only then did he realize that his clothes were no longer the ones he originally wore, but had been replaced by a blue and white striped style similar to prison uniforms.
The prison uniform was very thin and had only one small pocket on the right chest.
Arthur Jack man smoothly took out two silver coins with skulls engraved on them from his chest pocket, followed the guidance of the hoarse voice and came to stand in front of the iron gate.
As expected, there is a groove on the iron door where the lock should have been. The width is just slightly larger than a skull coin, and it looks like the coin slot of an arcade game.
Bang! Bang!
A skull coin slipped in from the coin slot, and the door lock opened in response. The thick metal door slowly moved to create a gap that allowed people to pass through, and a cool breeze blew in the face as if the Fridge had been opened.
There was no bright sunshine outside the door as he had hoped for. Instead, there was only a corridor illuminated by fluorescent lamps. A little further forward, the corridor split into two branches. Because it was not far away, he could still see the two strange rooms without doors at the end of the branch.
Arthur Jackman gritted his teeth and walked out of the secret room where he was imprisoned. When he stepped into the corridor, the original cool breeze turned into an even stronger cold air, like the north wind blowing in winter. It was biting and cold, making him shiver despite wearing only a thin prison uniform.
Bang!
At the same time, the steel door automatically closed and locked, completely cutting off the possibility of him going back. Arthur Jack man could only move forward cautiously along the corridor.
"Every time you open the door to the room, you need a coin. This is the transportation fee for your trip. Of course, don't think about staying outside the door all the time. You won't want to experience the consequences of staying outside for more than twenty hours."
The hoarse voice sounded again, faithfully acting as the narration of the game. "There are two forked roads. The left forked road leads to the shopping area. Please remember to prepare food, water, and warm clothing after you make enough money. The right forked road leads to your work area. Work hard to earn living expenses, or die. You have the absolute right to choose."
"Workspace?"
The silent Arthur Jack man moved his lips, and finally silently walked to the right side of the fork leading to the work area.
He had no other choice. It was impossible to stay in the corridor. Otherwise, not to mention the "consequences" mentioned in the hoarse voice, the biting cold air alone might freeze him to death here.
There is still one coin, but it is the fare for his return "home". If he does not want to starve to death and freeze to death, he must find a way to obtain other coins.
The meaning of the hoarse voice was already obvious. It was forcing him to "work". All the facilities in this prison were probably built to simulate a survival crisis. Without coins, it was definitely a dead end.
I just don't know what the so-called "job" is.
Pursing his chapped lips, Arthur Jack man walked forward, quickly passed the corridor that was not too long, and stepped into the work area with an anxious mood.
Very small.
This was his first sensory impression of the workshop.
The entire workspace is only half a circle larger than an ordinary bathroom, and the floor is very similar to the bathroom. There is a slight concave arc around the center, and there is a small hole in the center.
If this was really a bathroom, that small hole would usually be the drain opening leading to the sewer, but now the drain opening is not a through hole, but a small depression only half the thickness of a knuckle.
And if you look closely, it is actually a small container that is tightly embedded, just like the bottom of a disposable plastic cup, except that the bottom of the cup is made of metal.
In fact, it's not just the "cup bottom", the entire workshop is covered with metal steel plates like an elevator, especially the floor, which is a smooth mirror polished to reflect the silhouette of people.
Click!
A slight noise made Arthur Jack man's body tremble in shock as he just walked in.
Looking around nervously, he realized that the source of the sound was just two small grooves popping out of the left wall, like the ones on the bathroom display table. Now the workspace looked more like a bathroom.
"Congratulations on finding your first job. The display stand on the left can collect your salary and some gadgets you may need. Now you can start working hard for your salary."
The game narration came again.
However, this time Arthur Jackman was a little confused.
Work? What kind of work is there? Even if you want to make me suffer and move bricks, why don't you give me a few bricks? There is nothing in this bathroom.
"The content of the work is very simple..."
As if sensing his doubts, or perhaps it was the preset explanation process, the low and hoarse voice spoke again, "Except urine and purified water, you can fill the container in the center of the work area with any liquid. You can get ten coins every time the container is filled."
After saying that, the voice coming from an unknown speaker completely fell silent, and there was no more sound.
"Liquid?"
Arthur Jack's face suddenly changed when he heard this.
Although this workspace looked like a bathroom, it was not a real bathroom after all. There were no faucets. He even didn't see any water sources along the way.
What's more, urine and purified water have to be eliminated. What other liquid can he come up with besides these two?
Blood, sweat, saliva, and semen were the only four types he could think of, and they all had to be obtained from his own body.
Arthur Jack man licked his chapped lips and suddenly regretted his previous action of throwing the water glass handed to him by his girlfriend on the ground.
When Arthur Jack man became familiar with the "game" process, the whole Gotham City also exploded.
After all, there are multiple cameras in the secret room, and many TV signals have been hacked to broadcast the entire process live.
Arrogant! Simply too arrogant!
Even Gotham City has never been in such an arrogant and bad situation. Even if other criminals make a big noise, they will not be able to spread it so widely through the media.
This has almost torn off the last fig leaf of the Gotham Police Department. A large number of people have seen it. It is impossible to cover it up through the media. The news cannot be suppressed at all.
It can be predicted that after tonight, Gotham, shrouded in clouds, will be cast by another heavy shadow.
