Chapter 2 - Hell Continues

I wake up with dark circles under my eyes. I didn't sleep at all last night. I only thought and dreamed about the corpse. I leave my room to go to the toilet and brush my teeth. I still can't believe that Nishi burned the body. What was that body doing there? After finishing brushing my teeth, I went to wake up my sisters. Mira is the first one to wake up. She noticed my dark circles and asked: "Big brother, did you sleep well?" I answered yes, but it was clear that she didn't believe me.

After making them breakfast, Mira and Hinata left the house and headed toward school. Ten minutes after they had gone, the doorbell rang. I opened it and saw the same men and the same military car. Without saying a word, I got into the car. During the ride, I looked out the window when suddenly one of the men said to me: "This was the last time you'll ever see the door of your house again." Surprised, I asked: "Why? What does that mean?" The man replied in a cold tone and with a cruel smile: "You'll be sleeping in prison, in the guards' dormitory." I was so shocked that my brain had trouble thinking. Angry and surprised, I replied: "I can't! I have underage sisters, I can't leave them alone!" Suddenly, one of the men took out a spray and sprayed me. After that, I felt my body weaken, my eyes slowly started closing, and in the end, I fell asleep.

I woke up on a bed in a small room. Next to me was the director and the four men. Ishiro: "Sorry for what we did to you, but we had no choice." He dared to apologize after kidnapping me. Me: "I refuse your apology, and I demand my resignation." Ishiro: "I'm sorry, but that won't be possible because if you resign, we can kill you here and now, and after that, it will be your sisters' turn." Suddenly, he pulled out a gun and smiled in a sadistic and terrifying way. Damn it, why did I accept this job? With no other option, I replied: "Ok, I'll continue working for you." Ishiro put his gun back in his pocket, stood up, and said: "Wise decision," before leaving the room.

After that, I also left the room. Suddenly, Nishi—the guy who burned the corpse—came toward me and said: "Now you'll have harder tasks since you're no longer new." I replied: "But I just arrived." "Correction, you've already been here for a day, so we no longer consider you new," he said. He told me that my only task was to walk all 85 prisoners from Block C by myself.

After getting lost many times because the prison is gigantic, I finally managed to arrive at Block C. I opened Cell A-1, the first cell. As soon as I opened it, the prisoner jumped on me with a knife and stabbed me in the stomach. I spat blood and screamed in pain. The prisoner laughed and said: "Hehe, if I kill you, I'll be assigned to Block B for killing two guards." What? He had already killed a guard before me. Suddenly, I remembered the words of the prisoner I had fed. So this is how I'm going to die without ever paying my sisters' expenses. I smiled with a sad smile, and the prisoner was about to deliver the finishing blow when suddenly a gunshot echoed in the air. The prisoner fell to the ground with a bullet in his head. When I turned around, I saw Nishi with a gun. He said: "Tch, you can't even handle walking a few weak prisoners," and continued: "If you had been assigned to the higher Blocks like B, you'd already be dead." He decided to help me walk the prisoners. Even though I still distrusted him, I was grateful.

It was 10 p.m., and I had finished all my tasks. I bandaged my wound and was in my room preparing a coffee. I called Hinata to inform her that I wouldn't be coming home today, thanks to a lie. Just as I was about to sleep, the prison alarm went off.

Alarm!

"A prisoner from Block A managed to escape from his cell and has already massacred 10 guards. We need all guards to stop him!"

And that's how, for the first time, I was going to witness a criminal's escape live.
