Chapter 1400: Prison Guards Escort Huang Yi’s Body

After logging off, the Knight returned to Huang Yi’s cell.

It was still overcrowded, packed with people both inside and outside the cell, all wanting to see Huang Yi one last time.

"Everyone, return to your cells immediately. Newcomers who have been incarcerated within three months, line up downstairs!" the Knight commanded sharply.

All the criminals started to leave, leaving only Sunset, Tang Yunfei, Overlord, Wang Jin, and a few other key figures to watch over Huang Yi’s body.

"Who brought Brother Yi’s meal today?" Suddenly, the Knight remembered something and asked loudly, looking at the dispersing crowd.

"It was me!" A criminal quickly raised his hand fearfully, voluntarily stepping forward to face the Knight, his head lowered.

Fixing his gaze on the man with a stern expression, the Knight said coldly, "It’s obvious that Brother Yi was poisoned by the meal you delivered!"

The man started to tremble and said nervously, "I, I absolutely didn’t tamper with the meal! I brought it directly from the cafeteria to Brother Yi!"

"Did you encounter anyone suspicious during that time?" asked the Knight, frowning.

The criminal scratched his head, suddenly remembering something, and hurriedly said, "Yes! On the way, someone patted my shoulder and said he wanted to deliver the meal to Brother Yi for me!"

"Who was that person?!" the Knight asked quickly.

The criminal bit his lip and shook his head, saying, "I didn’t recognize him; he looked very unfamiliar. I think I’ve never seen him before."

The Knight was about to ask more, but just then, a commotion erupted downstairs.

Outside one of the cells downstairs, a crowd had gathered, and someone raised their head, shouting anxiously to the Knight upstairs, "A body has been found in Cell 19!"

"Let’s go down and see!" the Knight said, quickly descending the stairs.

Entering Cell 19, they found the body.

The body lay peacefully on the bed, without any wounds. The death resembled Huang Yi’s, presumably also due to poisoning, yet his expression was very calm, as if he were merely asleep.

"That’s him!" Suddenly, the criminal who delivered Huang Yi’s meal pointed excitedly at the body, saying, "He’s the one who said he’d take the meal to Brother Yi for me!"

The Knight’s face turned serious as he inspected the body, finding no signs of struggle, as if he had been prepared for death.

"What’s his name?" The Knight turned around, scanning all the surrounding criminals.

"He just got here today! I think his name is Liu Gengxin!" answered a criminal.

"Arrived today?" Everyone’s expressions changed, their gazes on the body turning cold.

"He’s most likely the culprit! Fearing our wrath, he committed suicide out of guilt," the Knight deduced, then looked at the others and continued, "But we can’t be sure he was the only infiltrator. From now on, we’ll thoroughly investigate everyone in the prison. Not a single infiltrator should be spared!"

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of Rose Prison, lights suddenly turned on in a prison guard dormitory building. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Three minutes later, armed guards rushed out.

They were all yellow-skinned and black-haired, with small Chinese flags affixed to the chest of their prison guard uniforms.

This was the Chinese Prison Guard Team stationed at Rose Prison. They had just received an international call from superiors in China, instructing them to rush to Huang Yi’s cell, escort his body out, and place it in Cold Storage, guarding it 24/7, allowing no one to approach.

Upon hearing the news of Huang Yi’s death, every member of this Prison Guard Team was struck by immense shock and grief.

Although as guards they should oppose the criminals, in the Virtual World, they had actually joined the Hero Empire, with some holding important positions under Huang Yi’s power.

They quickly formed a line under the flagpole in front of the dormitory, standing solemnly and motionlessly in the night breeze.

The team leader, Gao Huo, scanned everyone and said coldly, "We’ve been given an order: no matter what, we must place Huang Yi’s body into Cold Storage! Teams, be ready, move out immediately!"

With that, the well-coordinated team began sprinting toward the prison entrance. Their boots pounded the concrete floor, making a rapid "thud, thud" that echoed through the night.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Rose Prison, dozens of guards were on duty.

Their uniforms bore the flags of various countries, indicating their origins. Over half were from the World Federation.

They formed a mixed-duty team, jointly performing guard duties.

Suddenly, a series of orderly footsteps echoed from afar!

From the distant night, a dense formation of prison guards advanced swiftly, exuding an unstoppable fierce aura like a surging flood.

All the guards became tense, grasping the guns at their waists, swallowing nervously as they watched the approach of the Chinese Prison Guard Team.

Soon, Gao Huo led the Chinese Prison Guard Team to the cell door, expressionless, saying, "Move aside!"

"Please produce the prison management committee’s operation warrant!" A Caucasian guard eyed Gao Huo, speaking in broken Chinese. His name was Tony, a guard from the World Federation.

"No warrant! This is an urgent task from China!" Gao Huo retorted, glaring at him.

"Then you can’t enter!" Tony stood firmly at the prison door, speaking bluntly.

"Move!" Gao Huo shoved Tony aside, disregarding the guard as he marched in, the large force behind him following grandly.

The remaining guards on duty stepped aside, not daring to impede them.

Tony glared at Gao Huo and the others, his voice icy, "How dare you defy the prison committee’s agreement! What do you Chinese think you are? None of you will leave today!"

He then turned to a World Federation guard, saying, "Quick, notify our World Federation’s main guard force! Get them all here! I want to see who’s really in charge here!"

The guard nodded quickly and left in a hurry!

Gao Huo led the Prison Guard Team like a torrent flowing into the depths of the prison building, the rhythmic boot steps drawing the attention of thousands of prisoners in their cells.

Then, Gao Huo raised a hand, signaling to stop, before leading a squad of guards quickly upstairs to Huang Yi’s cell.
