Chapter 248
Mercury was dropped into the second level of Hell Inferno Women's Prison.
She is being taken out of her cell.
"It's... so dark overall..."
The floor of the corridor was faintly glowing blue.
It was honestly so dark that it was hard to see even a little ahead.
She guessed that when you're inside a room, you don't notice how dark it is out here.
"This is where prisoners with heavier crimes are kept than those on the first level. There are a lot of inmates with magic eyes or evil eyes here."
The guard explains as she walks in front.
Magic eyes... they are special eyes with magic effects.
Evil eyes are further specialized for killing among magic eyes.
By the way, Mercury also has a magic eye (Appraisal Eye).
"We keep the whole room dark to prevent the effects of magic eyes and evil eyes from activating just by being seen."
Huh, Mercury tilts her head.
"Then, why not just blindfold the prisoners?"
"Blindfolds don't mean anything to these guys."
"Huh? What does that... ow!"
Mercury seems to have bumped into something.
"Owww... where am I supposed to look..."
"Oh, sorry..."
Mercury seems to have bumped into someone.
If she doesn't pay attention, she might not see them at all.
Something wraps around her waist with a squish.
"Gyah! Wha, what!? What's happening!?"
The next moment, Mercury feels a floating sensation.
She's been wrapped around and lifted up.
Then she realizes...
"Aiee! A, a snake creatureeeee!"
Right in front of her is the face of a giant snake.
"That's Lamia."
"What!? La, Lamia... that S-rank monster!?"
Lamia, a humanoid monster with the highest level of strength.
"What!? Mo, monsters are here too!? In this prison!?"
"Yeah. There are monsters that used to live as humans, but committed crimes and got sent here. There are more than you'd think."
"No way..."
I'm being squeezed tight by the lamia.
"W-Wait... please stop... let me go... I can't breathe..."
But the lamia doesn't stop squeezing.
"Hey... guard... stop this... please..."
"Well. It's dark and I can't see anything."
...I see.
This darkness is not just for hiding from magic eyes.
It hides the violence happening here as well.
"Ugh... damn it... what is this place..."
