I came out of my room and suddenly I ran straight into the prisoner who had escaped from his cell. To me, he looked at least two meters tall, and his body was incredibly muscular. His fists were covered in blood, and I was petrified. He walked toward me and said: « Don't be afraid, buddy, I'm not going to kill you but devour you. »
What? He wants to devour me? What should I do? Before I could even gather my thoughts, he landed a massive punch to my stomach. The blow was so powerful that I was thrown extremely far. His strike broke my ribs and hit the area where I had been stabbed before. I couldn't move anymore when suddenly other guards arrived, all armed. The guards opened fire on the prisoner, but the bullets bounced off his skin, his muscles were so tough. The prisoner didn't even flinch and said: « Haha, that tickles, stop it. »
He grabbed a sharp stone and hurled it. The stone struck the face of one of the guards and pierced straight through his skull. The guard died instantly. The others were terrified and stepped back. The prisoner picked up the dead guard's body and devoured it in one bite. In shock, I vomited and thought: we're all going to die. The prisoner licked his blood-soaked fingers and said: « Before I devour you, we're going to play a game. It's simple: I'll count to 100, and if I find you, I'll devour you so that you die with a smile. »
This guy was a complete psychopath. He started counting. All the guards fled, leaving me alone, gravely injured at his side.
The prisoner was already at 80, then 90. Damn, damn, I don't want to die. Meanwhile, in the director's office, Ishiro was watching the surveillance cameras and said: « Call all the special guards and order them to kill Haruto Isachi. »
Isachi: « 95, 97, 98, 99, and 100. Ready or not, here I come. » He saw me lying on the ground and said: « Why didn't you hide? » I replied in a voice filled with anger and agony: « I remind you that you broke my ribs. » He answered: « Oops, sorry, but look on the bright side—you have the honor of being the second one to be devoured. »
With those words, Isachi grabbed my collar, lifted me up, and was about to devour me. Suddenly, smoke appeared, and it burned the inside of my nose. Isachi was in so much pain that he dropped me. I looked behind me and saw a woman holding a sprayer. She said: « You really look messed up, sweetheart. »
Isachi said: « Damn it, I've drawn the attention of the special guards. » He looked at me, then at the woman, and said: « I'm going to devour you. » He charged at her, but the woman pulled out an A-15 and fired at him. The bullets bounced off his skin again, but they were poisoned. After taking several shots, Isachi collapsed unconscious, the poison having worked.
The woman took the opportunity, pulled out an extremely sharp knife, and decapitated Isachi. Impressed and terrified, I said: « Thank you so much, may I know your name? »
She said: « Are you trying to flirt with me by any chance? Sorry, but I'm already married. »
I replied: « NO, that's not it. »
« I'm joking, » she said, « my name is Yura Nishi. »
I asked, surprised: « Nishi? »
She replied: « Yes, Nishi. My husband is Maku Nishi. »
I shouted « WHAT? » I was so stunned. After that, Mrs. Nishi accompanied me to the prison infirmary and left me there.
At the hospital, the doctor told me that I had three broken ribs and massive internal bleeding. It would take time to heal. Five months to recover completely, but I would have lasting aftereffects.
And that's how our protagonist managed to survive his first encounter with a prisoner from Block A.
