Gemini Assassins
Rose Prison, the reformation and education room.
Newly arrived prisoners were being gathered here, under the watchful eyes of the riot squad and guided by the prison guards about the rules and requirements within the prison.
Among them were two new Juvenile offenders.
Veronica stood in the corridor, observing the situation inside the rooms through the one-way glass window. The guards on standby in the corridor could see inside the room, but the inmates inside couldn't see outside.
Apart from her duties in surveillance, she had also been entrusted with the responsibility of being the captain of the Core Area Mobile Riot Squad.
At this moment, Aiden strode down the corridor.
"Chief!" Veronica immediately saluted.
"You've worked hard," Aiden greeted her with a smile.
Veronica then shifted her gaze to the petite figure beside Aiden - "Tainted Blood, Evangeline" from Room 11. Surprisingly, she was brought here by Aiden today.
Aiden turned towards the glass window, carefully scrutinizing the two young prisoners.
The two girls looked like twin sisters, with the same physique and appearance. As for their ages... it wasn't recorded in the files, but they seemed to be a year or two younger than Evangeline. Their eyes and facial expressions were just as cold and mechanical as Evangeline.
"These two are said to be killers raised by Meirujinu, just like you. Do you recognize them?" he asked Evangeline beside him.
Without hesitation, Evangeline shook her head. "No, I've basically never had any interaction with other 'siblings'. These two, I'm seeing them for the first time."
Learning that there were others like Evangeline, "the children of meirujinu" who had been transferred to this prison, Aiden brought Evangeline here out of caution, hoping to gather some information.
However, it seemed that Evangeline wasn't too familiar with the other assassins either.
In fact, while the Inquisition has been unable to catch Meirujinu, the "children of meirujinu" who serve as the executor of assassination have occasionally been apprehended. However, these cursed killers are unable to provide any information about Meirujinu.
And Currently, there are a total of four captured assassins, including this new pair of offenders.
Two male prisoners are held in the Thorny Prison, and one teenage girl who, due to the backlash effect of a demonic pact, died half a year after her capture.
Only Evangeline was transferred to the Rose Prison.
These two new female assassins accidentally failed in a joint assassination and were subsequently captured.
Since the Inquisition couldn't extract more information from them, it was deemed reasonable to expedite their trial and then transfer them to the Rose Prison.
Aiden carefully reviewed their files. The danger of these twin assassins lies in their demonic pacts, where each sacrificed a hand in exchange for a demonic claw imbued with immense strength and cursed power.
The older sister has it on her left hand, and the younger on her right. For this reason, the Inquisition fitted them with specially crafted sealed shackles on their wrists.
In terms of abilities, they are far from being as extensively modified as Evangeline.
"Keep an eye on them. Whether they approach you voluntarily or do anything noteworthy, make sure to report it to me," he instructed Evangeline.
"Understood," Evangeline nodded.
In this prison, obeying Aiden's orders was the new code of survival she had learned here.
Veronica watched Evangeline, who followed Aiden's orders without hesitation, from behind. Her expression became somewhat complicated.
"Chief..." she cautiously addressed Aiden.
"What's wrong?" Aiden turned his head.
"I have some questions I'd like to ask you privately. After the surveillance work here is finished, may I come to your office?" Veronica quietly requested.
"Of course," Aiden readily agreed.
Meanwhile, in the small courtyard, the core area inmates who had eaten lunch early were herded here, moving within the limited space like a flock of sheep.
Meirujinu sat quietly on a bench, looking around.
She didn't see Evangeline figure... Had she been taken somewhere?
At this moment, a female inmate approached quietly and cleared her throat before saying, "The weather has been quite dry recently. One could easily catch a cough."
Meirujinu glanced at her and replied nonchalantly, "Yes."
The female inmate then glanced at the guards in the distance and suddenly lowered her voice, "You're the alchemist, Mary, aren't you? I wonder... do you have any cough medicine here?"
Meirujinu smiled faintly upon hearing this. "I just came out of solitary confinement. It's possible that I'm being watched right now. So Bringing in medicine is a bit risky..."
She was well-versed in pharmacology and knew that many cough remedies could be addictive. This female inmate's request for cough medicine was likely not straightforward.
This was the fourth person today who had come to inquire about medicine.
"Of course I won't let you have it for nothing!" The female inmate understood her meaning and said, "As for the reward... we can negotiate."
"No problem. Everyone needs help from time to time. Even if you can't offer a reward, you can owe me a favor," Meirujinu said with a smooth smile.
"Of course! If there's anything you need help with, just tell me!" The female inmate nodded vigorously, as she was currently in need of a favor from Meirujinu.
Meirujinu was quite satisfied with this. Through her pharmaceutical skills, she had already gained some influence here and quickly started building connections.
Now, she should gather information as much as possible.
"Speaking of which, that warden is really ruthless. He locked me up for five days just for a few pills. It's infuriating," Meirujinu said, crossing her arms. "That guy must be quite unpopular here, right?"
"Which prison warden isn't hated by the inmates...," the female inmate responded, "But that guy is indeed formidable. Not many dare to go against him."
"Isn't there any formidable inmate in this prison who harbors a deep grudge against him? I feel like I can find some common ground with someone of that caliber," Meirujinu inquired.
"If you're looking for someone to cover for you, it's best not to look for that kind of person. Almost all the inmates targeted by the warden end up in a sorry state, without exception," the female inmate advised kindly. "Have you seen that woman over there in the shadows?"
Following the guidance, Meirujinu looked over and saw a pale-faced woman sitting in the shade, hugging her knees.
"A vampire?" She immediately recognized the woman's race.
"That woman is a prince-level vampire. She spent two years digging a tunnel for an escape, but she didn't realize she had already been targeted early on.
After being caught and brought back, she was treated miserably," the female inmate sighed.
"Even someone of her level had a hard time. It's better for us small fries not to make too much trouble."
"Oh? Escape?" Meirujinu became interested, squinting her eyes, and stared intently at the vampire princess in the distance, like a carnivorous animal locking onto its prey. "Sounds like a very gutsy inmate."
