[Supreme Court Internship Office]
"You're good? Come on, how many times a day do you look at those old gloves? It has been a year and a half, you should learn to move on." says Ally.
Eta's best friend, Ally dreams to be a female Supreme Court Judge since she was a child, but her social skills are the most outstanding.
Sure enough, where Ally was there, the indoor decibel would not be lower than 80 decibels, and sometimes it could even reach 90 decibels, which could almost make Eta feel hearing loss.
"I ran into Shawn last week! You know what , that guy told me something unbelievable happened in his prison!"
As expected, after New Year holiday, Ally's gossips seems to be exploded.
Eta had no choice but listen.
"Really, what happened?"
"Shawn recently was transferred to work in a felony prison, just like the kind you always pay attention to. "
"But according to him, that place is scary, those who goes in have never come out alive. "
"The death penalty is executed in prison, and every week there are cars driving in to transport the bodies out. "
"That's so horrible!"
"Well, one night when he was on duty, he found that some jail's lights were off. So he went there to check the equipment."
"But after he entered that place, he found there were really quiet, the only sound he can hear is the door creaking."
"Then he realized that all prisoners in jail were disappeared!"
"He checked it carefully and found that the door of each cell was tightly locked, and no sign of damage. But the prisoners inside were weirdly missing."
"What, all gone? No way, I don't think this would happen, is there anyone can prove it? "
"You mean, what do other police say?" Ally had a weird smile on her face.
[Memories of Shawn]
"Hey, people in prison suddenly, all gone...they disappeared!"
"What? Slow down, take it easy."
"Well, I mean, the...the lights in the East suddenly went out, come with me and have a look at it!"
"Oh, the lights in the East District are broken? "
McQueen, a slender prison guard, whom has been in this prison for eight years, shaking his leg and say.
"You're new here right? Don't walk around at night."
"Those area are placed of highest level felons who are lifetime away from freedom. "
"They are thinking about how to attack police and trying to escape all the time, who knows what they are doing right now? It's certainly nothing good!"
"Yea, McQueen is right, that's no big deal!"
"The monitoring equipment often fails at night, and now it is down again." Said another guard, Simen.
"Maybe just because of our old electricity system. "
"Haha, you know what, there's a police who just went crazy last month. He always do the patrols very carefully at night. "
"Once, he even invite me to see a man eating corpses outside the building! "
"Don't you think he's looking for trouble for himself? Fortunately, I didn't go...finally he became mentally abnormal."
"Yea, Stay with us, Shawn. We'll go and check with you tomorrow."
"Mm-hmm, okay."
"Then, next day, Shawn found all the prisoners were back!"
"Back? Shit, So maybe he's wrong. Sometimes, people will have hallucinations and memory confusions..."
"But!"
"Woh, what? You scared me!"
"Listen! Those who came back don't remember why they were in jail. "
"They are completely amnesiac...and there was a guy whom said his name was Thunder Sun, deeply impressed Shawn."
"He said he was born in 1840 and was a Calligrapher. "
"At first, Shawn didn't believe it, but he remembered that the prisoner didn't even understand Mandarin. How could he suddenly change his language and accent overnight?"
"Then Shawn gave him a blank sheet of paper to write down his life, and it turned out..."
"Wait, there can't really be such a man, right? 1840, isn't he nearly 200 years old?"
"Shawn talked about it at his friends' birthday party. And this story spread."
"One day, an immigrant new to our town found that there was a guy named Thunder Sun in his family tree!"
"His life and deeds were exactly the same as what Shawn told."
"But on the genealogy, Thunder Sun died in 1894."
"Are you talking about 19th Prison?"
"Ehh!" Eta screamed.
Looking back, another internship student Miyazaki appeared in the office with a file bag in his hand.
"Miyazaki, you really don't have a sound when you walk!"
Miyazaki smiled.
He is an international scholar in this internship, with blond hair and blue eyes.
But his erudition often surprises people around him.
"Miyazaki, do you think it is possible for the memory of a deceased person to be awakened again? "
"I remember some news reported that people got memory of their previous life after a serious illness. Do you think this is true? "
Voice just fell, did not expect that Miyazaki took out his phone, and a mysterious smile looming.
"I have no idea, Eta. "
"But the 19th prison is recently famous because of the barren hillside outside."
"It is said that in the middle night, people saw ghost fires rising inside and someone saw huge animal figures shining in the fire..."
"I think that place may have more than one secret, including the answers you want."
Soon Eta received a coordinate.
This is a place where there is no shop or village.
In the photo, there is a building, the plaque at the entrance of the building says...
"19th Prison?"
"Wow, really?" Ally excitedly put her head in front of Eta's phone.
"Let's go and see it tonight!"
"Oh wait, I have a date tonight, Let's make it this weekend! What'd you say!"
"Huh?" Eta looked at the coordinates of the map.
"Don't count on me, please!"
"This kind of supernatural event in the wilderness is too horrible to me, you know, it is said that the less courageous the worse the luck..."
"Ah? Come on! That would be so much fun! "
"No."
Miyazaki smiled, "As the saying goes, the king of one thousand years and the turtle of eighty thousand years, the timid people live a long life. I really can't envy them!"
Then he sighed and strode out of the office.
"Puff!" A few minutes later, Eta realized something and almost choked by water.
"Hey, don't run away, Miyazaki!"
"Did you just say I was a shrinking head turtle? "
"If you can't use allegorical sayings, then don't use them indiscriminately!"
"Woh," Ally shook her head helplessly.
"Her IQ is really worrying."
