Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: Bubbling Poison Volcano

Seeing Saldeath suddenly appearing before him with a concerned expression, Magellan was shocked by his sudden appearance.

"Saldeath, why are you here?" Magellan asked, while pulling up his pants like nothing was wrong.

As the commander of the Blugori, Saldeath does not usually go down to the fourth level and mainly patrols the first three levels.

"Director, something went wrong in the waiting room." Saldeath says with anxiety.

"The CP staff who came to the waiting room today... they all suffered gruesome deaths!."

"What?!" Magellan's eyes bulged, "was it Lucas?"

Today, the world government sent a group of CP personnel, some of whom are responsible for interrogating Lucas, while the others stayed in the waiting room to do follow-up work.

Magellan and Sengoku looked at each other. They both knew that just now the group of CP personnel in charge of interrogating Lucas went to the Eternal Hell, and the others in charge of logistics in the waiting room….. just died?

'Does this have nothing to do with Lucas?' Magellan didn't believe it!

Sengoku's face also soured, another incident happened, and it should be related to Lucas again!

"Where are the people who interrogated Lucas?" Sengoku said, and immediately thought of the group of CP personnel who went straight to Lucas.

"Vice Warden Hannyabal went to see him and he is still not sure about the situation. " Saldeath replied.

When they got to the waiting room, their expressions turned gloomy!

What they saw, the door to the waiting room was ajar, and blood was splattered on the edge of the door frame, and as soon as they entered, there was a thick pungent smell of blood.

The floor was littered with corpses, broken arms and legs, and fragments of internal organs were splattered everywhere.

On the workbench, a head of which only half was dangling at the edge, fell to the ground with the sudden jolt caused by Magellan's arrival.

With a bang, the half head exploded and brain matter splattered all over Magellan 's face.

*Blargh* A guard vomited on the spot when he saw this scene, with his face instantly turning pale.

All the CP staff that stayed in the waiting room... became lifeless, all were mutilated and brutally murdered!

"Damn" Magellan cursed under his breath, his face scrunched from the scene, with things just becoming far worse.

Previously, guards or prisoners were haunted or died, but it was only a sporadic few and the methods weren't as cruel.

This time, the scene was so tragic that even a complete body could not be found.

At that moment, a den den mushi in a gas mask rang in Magellan's Coat.

"The people in the interrogation room... are all dead." This is a call from Hannyabal!

At this time, Hannyabal in the other line of the den den mushi seemed to be very shocked, and there was a slight tremor in his voice!

"...I see." Even if Magellan was prepared, he was still surprised!

Among the CP personnel who came this time, there were some strong acquaintances. Magellan remembered that there was a rather strong one with the codename WHITE ELEPHANT.

This CP0 agent who participated in the capture of Avalo Pizarro, and played a vital role.

In addition to him, several powerful CP0 agents came. After all, these are the Cp personnel who are going to interrogate a prisoner on the sixth level of Impel Down. The danger is evident and it is impossible for the World Government to send just about anyone especially when this also concerns the death of celestial dragons.

But even so... they are all dead!

At the same time, a thought came to Magellan. 'The CP personnel who questioned Lucas were dead. So... What about Lucas?'

"Where is Lucas? Where is that prisoner?" Sengoku asked immediately to Hannyabal, he also thought about this question!

They began walking without care for whoever or whatever was in their way, and quickly walked to the sixth level, they asked Hannyabal on the other end of the den den mushi, as they quickly walked to the sixth level.

They were both worried that after Lucas killed all the Cypher Pol, he would hide in a corner of Impel down and even plan to make a prison break!

However, their thoughts betrayed them.

"Lucas... is in his cell." The den den mushi opened its mouth and the voice of Hannyabal was like a shock to their ears.

"His cell? Didn't those Cypher Pol agents take Lucas to the interrogation room and killed them all?" ask Magellan bewildered.

"He was dragged there, but he was seen leaving the interrogation room alone, casually walking towards his cell like everything that happened inside the interrogation room does not concern him at all, then opened his cell and lay down to read a book and drink tea." says Hannyabal on the other side.

Magellan's eyelids twitched.

What is Impel Down? Arguably the most feared prison in the world, a place of agony and hopelessness, an impregnable prison that no one can get in or out without permission!

They all want to get out after entering Impel down, but even if they try

everything they can, they can't escape.

But now, Lucas, who had a chance to escape from prison, had no interest and returned to his cell voluntarily!

Magellan frowned at the revelation, when he thought about this. Is this a dreaded prison for him or a luxury vacation home?

This is a major disregard to the terror of Impel down!

"Hannyabal, don't go to Lucas, I'll be there right now, don't go looking for him, do you hear?" Magellan was serious and fully warned Hannyabal not to act stupid.

He was worried that Hannyabal would rush to find Lucas and suddenly die.

Hannyabal is sometimes unpredictable and he doesn't know much about Lucas.

"Come to the sixth level exit right now, and stay away from him." Magellan warned again, and after finishing his talk, he headed towards Eternal Hell with Sengoku.

The sixth level, Eternal Hell. The door opened again. The Prisoners in the dark have recently felt numb from all the visitors. usually, Nobody comes for half a year or more, but now many have come to visit their level.

As soon as Sengoku and Magellan entered Eternal Hell, they immediately walked towards Lucas's cell without pause. In the dark cell, a solitary candle cast eerie flickering shadows, illuminating the room in a surreal glow.

Sitting comfortably on his sofa, Lucas adjusted his posture and casually picked up a remote control. With a nonchalant demeanor, he activated the Livestream Den Den Mushi. The device, which had no visible connections to any circuits or signals, came to life, displaying various images on its projection.

Magellan was stunned by this strange sight, struggling to find the right words to express his anger.

'Where did the Livestream Den Den Mushi come from?' wondered Magellan, but he had no time to dwell on this mystery.

"Huh, Warden Magellan, Admiral Sengoku, why are you here?" Lucas turned towards them, seemingly unperturbed by their presence. He reached for an orange from a nearby fruit bowl, an item that shouldn't have been in his cell, and began peeling it as if it was a normal afternoon.

"Did you kill them?" Magellan asked, his voice strained, as he fought to contain his fury.

"No," Lucas calmly replied, tossing the piece of orange peel into the trash and shaking his head.

"What do you mean, no?! Then who killed them all!" Magellan shouted, a visible tick appearing on the side of his head as his temper flared dangerously.

"The ghost did it," Lucas stated matter-of-factly, continuing to peel the orange with a serene expression, as he casually responded to the... mildly irritated magellan.

Editor: yes Mildly, no worries there. God how I hate how long this chapter is… and to the author, stop calling magellan a director, and sengoku a marshal…. Stupid chinese.
