Chapter 1298: Taunting the Survivors

Captain Coalran and his crew felt like vomiting when the ship suddenly stopped vibrating but when they came to their senses, they realised that they were in an open field and not in outer space.

Plain bright blue skies and a well cut plot of grass field made the rest not understand where they were. The crew members tried to get their bearings but the computer system was not functioning as it should. 

Their AI had suddenly turned silent and all the controls had already been shut away as if to stop any of them from trying to perform any manual overrides. “Everyone arm yourselves! Pick up your rifles and armour! This may be the base of those superhumans and we might be able to overcome this as long as we send out a flare right outside of the ship!” Captain Coalran said as he pulled a pistol out from his drawer but before the crew could do anything, there was a knock at the doors at the back of their space deck.

“Helllo~~~! Are you guys done? We are here to take prisoners~~~!” Kraft said but there was no response back with the exception of the rough scuffling of chairs and cabinets. He could only assume that they were mounting up a defensive wall whenever possible and will shoot on sight. 

“Let me try this again,” Kraft said as he picked up his tablet and pressed a few buttons. “Testing. Testing one, two three. You guys can hear me right? Right????? Oh wait, I can hear feedback from the deck itself so I guess the speakers are working correctly.” With the System being in control of the entire spaceship, Kraft literally had the current crew as prisoners of their own ship. An ironic turnover of events for the wardens be the prisoners of their own metal container.

“So.. as you guys tried to position yourself, don’t forget to break all the cameras in the room because I am watching you guys from the-” And immediately with that revelation, shots were being fired destroying all the visible CCTV cameras within the deck which made Kraft sighed. 

“You know, that won’t solve any problems,” Kraft said as he teleported himself right to the front of the space deck where all it separates him and the rest of the crew was the glass window. The few who were hiding and not facing the Deck’s main door saw the mysterious masked person squatting right outside their space deck while slowly waving at them.

Some of the crew members were terrified that they changed their positions by jumping over their walls and hiding from the fox’s sight. Rifles were all aimed towards the space deck’s window and Kraft laughed.

“You sure it’s a good idea? If you destroy this window here, you kinda don’t have a view of what’s going on when you try to escape here with your ship. Also, you need to rely on your space suits and stuff -ahhhh. I forgot you have a backup shutter that will block the screen and stuff.” Kraft said as he looked at his tablet as if reviewing the blueprint of the space deck. 

“But let me tell you a BIGGGGG secret.” Kraft tried to express the significance of his words with large wide gestures. “You guys aren’t going anywhere at all. Even if you could kill me which you obviously can’t, judging by how terribly incompetent the rest of your security crew was, you guys still have to deal with the horde of prisoners which we manage to let go off! Here! Let me give you a look!” Kraft pressed another few buttons on his tablet and the big screen in the space deck now showed live footage of the prison cells being released and everyone was scrambling trying to escape. 

“Oh, dear! I understand that they are scum in your eyes but do you really have to starve the whole load of them? I mean at least grant them basic human rights or else, you are the one that looks like the evildoers!” Kraft tilted his head and expressed his displeasure to the crew.

“What do you know?! They have done hideous crimes that deserved to be treated this way!” Captain Coalran could not stand the monologue and Kraft gave a quiet clap.

“Finally, someone with the guts to talk. I was wondering if you military people are just going to be some mute puppets.” Kraft said and he infuriated the crew further by pressing another button on the tablet, showing another live video.

And it was a scene of Lynn and her penguins beckoning the prisoners who managed to walk out of the spaceship. Most were greeted by the tremendous smell of warm mushroom soup and subsequently given meat porridge so that they would not tax their stomach from eating something heavy after being starved for ages.

However, they had no idea that there was a contract that was being enforced as the System had learnt to make a new sort of banter contract based on Lynn’s suggestion. Upon receiving her food and consuming it, the contractee would automatically agree on the terms and conditions set by the chef. The only caveat was that they had to put it right in front of the contractee to see before eating. 

Yet, Lynn was able to get all of the prisoners to be under the System’s influence mainly because of one loophole that the System ‘might have overlooked’ (Lies, the System just pretended to be partial.) The contract was in Lynn’s language, in Chinese and the otherworld prisoners had no idea what it was when they saw it but it was because they saw the words of the contract that was placed like a placard, the effect of the contract was in place the moment they pick up the food from Lynn’s soup kitchen.

And in return, Jin had gained a plethora of prisoners joining his workforce. They may be murderers, thieves and much more but with the System controlling them, those sets of undesirable skills could be used for the benefit of Jin’s store. (Besides, Jin believed quite a bit in second chances!)
