Jahi and Holland stood in front of the two piles of huge rocks, both looking at the dozen new guys in front of them with relaxed expressions.

Their subordinates were scattered around.

Then, two agile figures, a man and a woman, suddenly flashed out and appeared on top of the two piles of huge rocks in the blink of an eye.

Sitting on the pile of boulders on the left is a woman named Monica who is wearing a leopard-print tube top and shorts, a tricorn hat on her head, a baby face, and looks like she is in her early twenties. She has her arms crossed, her legs crossed, and a cigarette in her mouth.

Sitting on the pile of boulders on the right is a man wearing a clean white shirt, suit pants, leather shoes, but no tie. The first button of the shirt is loose. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and always has a faint smile on his face. He looks very gentle and is about twenty-four or five years old. His name is Teng Hai.

Chapter 826 Soma Island: Silence

Monica and Teng Hai are the leaders who currently control the entire Soma Prison.

Normally, the two of them rarely meet.

But every month when new prisoners were sent in from outside, they would appear together and then be separated.

Of course, most of the prisoners who have just entered Soma Prison are not so easily tamed, and only a few will voluntarily join a certain camp from the beginning.

Those who have not joined will become the third-party non-camp Wanderers in Soma Prison. The non-camp Wanderers does not have Supplies. Usually they cannot bear it after being hungry for a few days. Most of them will choose one camp to join in order to survive.

"Let's get started." Monica held a cigarette in his mouth and spoke first with an indifferent expression.

Because there were a lot of people around, and most of them were strong and fierce-looking guys, none of the dozen or so newcomers who were reasonably sensible dared to show their heads first and find fault.

After Monica spoke, her subordinate Jahi briefly introduced the rules of Soma Prison survival to the dozen new prisoners, "If you want to survive here, you have only two ways to go. One, we will select you to join one camp. You can refuse, but the consequence of refusal will be to become a non-camp Wanderers. Once you become a non-camp Wanderers, then the Supplies brought in from outside every day has nothing to do with you. Don't try to steal it from my boss Monica or boss Teng Hai. If you are discovered, what you will have to experience is not just death. Don't forget, there are all kinds of people here, and we have many ways to torture you until you are unable to survive or die."

"Jahi, you talk too much nonsense." Holland sneered, then looked at the dozen or so people, and continued, "You all stand up, stand in a row, starting from the far left, tell your own situation one by one, the rest is free, the most important thing is to explain clearly what you committed and why you were imprisoned here."

Then, everyone obediently stood in a row according to Holland's instructions.

Lin Mo and Hawen are standing at the back of the team.

"Aren't you cold?" Hawen wrapped the thin coat she was wearing tightly and asked softly in a very low voice.

Lin Mo shook his head, indicating that he was not cold.

Hawen said in admiration, "Although the clothes I'm wearing are not thick, they are all long-sleeved. It's freezing now. Your clothes are so torn that your flesh is exposed, but you're not even cold yet... Why?"

Lin Mo shook his head again and said he didn't know either.

Then, starting from the people on the far left of the team, they introduced themselves one by one.

"My name is Yuto. I am twenty-seven years old. I am Bandit. I was caught here because I robbed a tavern and injured five people."

"My name is Taizhe. I am twenty-four years old. I am a fish seller. I was caught because I accidentally killed two people."

"My name is Mineko, I am thirty-one years old, and I am a singer. Because five ignorant guys insulted me, I killed them all."

"My name is Tomoya. I am a gangster. Everyone in the village looked down on me. Then I burned the whole village down. No one was burned to death. They all said that I would kill them sooner or later, so they arrested me here."

"My name is..."

Everyone briefly introduced themselves.

Soon it was the turn of Hawen next to Lin Mo.

Compared with the others before him, Hawen seemed more nervous.

"My name is Hawen. I am seventeen years old. I am an orphan. Because I was really hungry, I went to the bun shop to steal buns to eat. But when I entered the bun shop, Shopkeeper had already fallen to the ground and died. I didn't kill him. It really wasn't me. But, everyone said it was me, so I was arrested. I am innocent. I am really innocent."

"Okay." Holland said nonchalantly, "You are innocent, what does that have to do with us? Are you here to make fun of a group of evil people who have done all kinds of bad things?"

Then, a burst of mocking laughter erupted from the surrounding area.

Hawen's face turned red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to continue speaking.

Next it's Lin Mo's turn.

Lin Mo has been thinking about a question since just now: Who am I?

But no matter what he thought, his mind was still blank.

When Jahi saw that Lin Mo was silent, he reminded him, "Don't waste everyone's time. It's your turn. Quickly introduce yourself."

After coming back to his senses, Lin Mo turned his attention to Jahi, with deep doubts in his eyes, and said expressionlessly, "I don't know how to introduce myself."

Holland urged, "Just like those scumbags in front of you, just tell your name, age, and crime. It's that simple. Don't waste time. We don't have time to waste it with you alone!"

Then, Lin Mo became silent.

After a brief silence, the prisoners watching the excitement started to boo.

"What's going on with this guy?"

"Are you deliberately looking for trouble? Looking at the mess he looks like, he must have been beaten a lot on the way here."

"Yes, if the guys who were escorting him could be beaten with such disgust, it means that this guy's crime must be quite serious."

"If there's anything you dare not say, there are guys here who have hundreds of lives on their hands. You brat, don't be ignorant, just say it."

"If you don't say anything, we will beat you up."

Everyone was shouting at each other, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.

Monica and Teng Hai looked at Lin Mo up and down, left and right.

Suddenly, Monica raised his right hand and made a fist.

In an instant, the few hecklers on her side shut up obediently.

When the guys at Teng Hai saw that everyone at Monica had calmed down, they all stopped and didn't say anything more.

"Hello." Monica stared at Lin Mo and asked with interest, "What's your name?"

Lin Mo remained silent and did not speak.

Hawen next to him saw that the atmosphere was very tense. Although he was very scared, he couldn't hold it back and bravely spoke out, "He seems to have lost his memory..."

"Amnesia?" Teng Hai touched his chin thoughtfully, "This is a bit interesting."

Soma Island is equivalent to a prison island completely isolated from the outside world.

The people on the island only know the outside world as they did before entering the island.

So, for this group of people who have been with Soma Island for a long time, they don't even know who Lin Mo is.

In addition, Lin Mo looks very embarrassed now. Those who are not very familiar with him but know him through newspapers, even if he stands in front of them like this, few people can recognize him.

Just when everyone was still wondering whether Lin Mo had real amnesia or fake amnesia.

Monica suddenly became interested and said directly, "I want this boy!"

Chapter 827 Soma Island: So tough

Teng Hai saw that Monica had already started to snatch people away. Without too much hesitation, he also spoke, "Boy, come to me. I have a way to help you recover Memory."

"Hey!" Monica looked at Teng Hai and said in an unhappy tone, "He is the person I like first, don't rob me!"

Teng Hai smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I also like him."

"Oh, okay, you have to fight with me, right?" Monica moved his hand bones a little.

Teng Hai pushed up his glasses, still maintaining his usual smile, "It's just a new prisoner, is it necessary?"

Monica sneered, "If you think it's not necessary, just leave it to me."

"That's not possible." Teng Hai said with a smile, "I'm also very interested in this kid, so why not do it this way? This kid belongs to me, and everyone else will give it to you. How about that?"

Monica raised his eyebrows and smiled disdainfully, "No, this kid belongs to me, and the others belong to you!"

"Since you said so, it seems that we have not reached an agreement." Teng Hai waved his hand and said with ease, "Then let's rob people in our way."

"Okay!" Monica chuckled, "Then I won't be polite, Jahi!"

"Here you are, boss." Jahi took a step forward, yawned and said, "Leave it to me."

Teng Hai glanced at Holland under his eyes and said, "Monica has Jahi over there, then Holland, come on."

"Received." Holland squeezed the bones of his hand and made a "crunching" sound.

The two people quickly arrived in front of the dozen or so people, and then stood facing each other, both looking calm and composed.

The prisoners around him became excited.

"Come on, Holland, you're welcome, flatten the opponent!"

"Jahi, kill him, kill him!"

"Oh, I bet Jahi will win this battle."

"No, Holland has much more strength and combat experience than Jahi, so he has a greater chance of winning."

Everyone is looking forward to the next battle.

As for Lin Mo, not only did they not find the behavior of these people in front of them exciting and passionate, but they also found it boring.

Watching them fight makes you think about who you are.

But Hawen next to him was so scared that his legs were shaking.

Seeing Lin Mo's calm look, Hawen asked in a low voice with a trembling tone, "Are you really not afraid at all?"

Lin Mo shook his head lightly. Although he is now in a state of amnesia, it does not mean that his IQ has been cleared. He can still understand the conversation between Monica and Teng Hai.

If I had to choose one of those two people, Lin Mo is slightly interested in Teng Hai.

Just when Jahi and Holland were about to fight, Lin Mo suddenly looked at Teng Hai and asked, "Can you really make me recover Memory?"

Teng Hai saw that Lin Mo seemed to be leaning towards his side, so he promised, "It may not be 100% successful, but I am 80% sure that I can make you remember the previous Memory."

Monica immediately interrupted, "I can do that too! Hey, boy, you'd better think clearly for me, where are you going!"

"Only eighty percent?" Lin Mo thought for a moment, then looked at Monica and asked, "How confident are you?"

Ever since Monica became the leader of Soma Prison's camp, anyone who dared to talk to her like this would end badly.

Monica stared at Lin Mo with an arrogant look, and said in an unhappy tone, "Do you know what happened to the last person who talked to me like this?"

Lin Mo didn't care about this and said directly, "Answer my question!"

Monica:"!"

This time, not only Monica, but also the surrounding prisoners were shocked.

"Who is this kid? How dare he talk to the boss like this."

"I think he wants to die. He is really a fledgling and not afraid of tigers."

"Tsk, tsk, this kid is miserable. If he really falls into the hands of boss Monica, he will suffer a lot."

Everyone was whispering and discussing.

Although their voices were very low, Lin Mo could still hear them clearly.

But he didn't care what others said about him, so he didn't pay attention to what those people said.

Monica stared intently into Lin Mo's unruffled eyes.

Teng Hai has been silently observing Lin Mo.

Monica, who was still slightly angry on his face, suddenly burst into laughter. "Okay, if you have the guts, then I will tell you clearly that I, Monica, can do anything that Teng Hai guy can do. Like him, I am 80% sure."

Hearing this, Lin Mo thought in silence for a while.

All eyes were focused on him.

Hawen next to him was so frightened that he didn't dare to say another word, for fear that he would accidentally say the wrong thing again and be implicated.

Soon, Lin Mo came up with an answer, "If you are not completely sure, then I will not join either side."

Although, the 80% certainty was indeed very high, but he just felt that it was unreliable for some reason.

Unless it's 100%, he doesn't believe anyone.

Lin Mo said this, and all the prisoners couldn't help but take a breath.

Hawen turned pale with fright at Lin Mo, and quickly pulled down the corner of Lin Mo's clothes, and whispered, "What are you doing? This place looks free and there are no guards to control it, but now it is obvious that the two people have the final say here. You have offended both of them now, what will you do in the future? Do you really want to die that much? You are too impulsive..."

Lin Mo took out his already tattered clothes from Hawen's hand with some disgust, and then said disapprovingly, "These people can't kill me."

"Uh? Why?"
