Chapter 187

Three days later, the cruise ship finally arrived at Jerr's port.

Gu Ding got off the ship immediately. Noami waved at him through the window, and he simply raised his hand in response. He then rented a hover car and left the port.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"Leoben Prison," Gu Ding lowered his voice and said expressionlessly.

After watching Gu Ding leave in the hover car, Noami dialed the number of her crew members. "King Kong, you should be here by now, right? Gather at the port. I have two missions for you. "

"Big Sister, there's a mission already? Is it related to Gu Ding's crew? "A rough voice came from the other side of the communicator.

"I hope so," Noami said with a smile. "We just caught a few idiots who hijacked the cruise ship, and there's a bomb that needs to be dealt with."

"We'll be right there!"

…

On the other hand, Gu Ding soon arrived at the entrance of Leoben Prison.

He looked around. The walls made of Carbat alloy were silver-gray under the sunlight. There was no other color embellishment, and it gave off a solemn vibe. Just as Noami had said, the prison was heavily guarded, and there were guards everywhere.

Neptune transformed into a strand of hair and stuck it on Gu Ding's head. Gu Ding then put on an intelligent wristwatch and walked toward the gate.

The first gate was for visitor registration. Neptune had already activated the wristwatch on Gu Ding's hand and entered his fake identity. With a swipe of the intelligent wristwatch, Gu Ding's fake identity was entered.

Name: Phillis

Gender: Male

Age: 21

[Wanted: No]

The second gate was for security. Gu Ding took off the intelligent wristwatch on his hand, and under Neptune's control, he passed through the security without a hitch.

At the third gate, there was a prison guard conducting a body search.

"I'm sorry, intelligent wristwatches are not allowed in. Our prison has to prevent hacking." After the body search was completed, the prison guard extended his hand.

Gu Ding handed over the intelligent wristwatch. He finally knew why Neptune had made him wear another wristwatch.

The fourth gate was for a holographic inspection. Neptune had tampered with it a little more. Otherwise, Gu Ding's fake hair would look different from Gu Ding's real hair.

After passing through four checkpoints, Gu Ding was brought before a prison guard.

"Who do you want to visit?" The receptionist was a woman with glasses.

"Perrett." When Gu Ding said the name, a strange feeling welled up in his heart. It was a feeling of nervousness.

"What's your relationship with the person you're visiting?" the bespectacled lady asked.

"To be precise, it doesn't matter. I grew up listening to his legendary stories. That's why I stopped by Jerr to see him. "Gu Ding did not lie about this.

"Alright, this is the first time I've encountered such a visiting relationship. Under normal circumstances, it was up to him if he wanted to visit a non-relative. If he doesn't agree to meet, we can't force him. So, take a seat first. I'll get someone to inform him. " The bespectacled lady dialed a number. "There's a visitor at number 073925. I've sent the visitor's information to you. See if he's willing to see you."

"073925, you have a visitor!" In a room that was completely white, a dialog box suddenly popped up out of nowhere.

A one-eyed man with an eye patch stood up. Most of his left leg had been replaced by a metal prosthesis, and so had his right hand.

He raised his left hand and clicked on the visitor's information.

Name: Phillis

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Relationship with the person you're visiting: I grew up listening to his legendary stories. That's why I stopped by Jerr to see him.

On the top right corner of the text was a picture of Gu Ding wearing a disguise mask.

"I thought it was an old friend who happened to pass by and suddenly remembered me." Perrett seemed a little hesitant. The visitor this time was obviously a stranger. He did not like dealing with strangers because strangers usually approached him with ulterior motives. "Grew up listening to my stories? This reason for visiting sounds good, but I'm not sure if it's the real reason. Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well see what this kid is up to. "

About two minutes later, the bespectacled lady nodded at Gu Ding. "He agreed to the visit. I'll get someone to bring you over now."

Not long after, a man in a police uniform walked over.

Gu Ding was obviously stunned when he saw the man.

The prison guard had a fierce face, a ball-shaped body, and extremely short legs.

"Pearson?! Why is he here? "Neptune's voice reached Gu Ding's ears." But it's a good thing that he didn't recognize you. Remember to lower your voice and speak slowly when you speak. "

"Follow me!" Pearson only raised his head to look at Gu Ding once before he turned around and left expressionlessly.

Gu Ding followed behind him and entered a room. After closing the door, he stood at the door and looked like he had no intention of leaving.

"I just checked the name list of this prison again. This guy is indeed Pearson and not someone else who looks like him. I also looked at his information. This guy just immigrated to Faye Cosmic Nation last week. He has a relative in Faye Cosmic Nation who is a viscount and has some status. Coupled with his original resume, it was easy for him to get into Leoben Prison. He just passed the interview yesterday and today is his first day at work. " Neptune checked the name list of the prison staff again and indeed, Pearson's name appeared. The last time he checked it was three days ago, and Pearson's name was not there then.

Perrett was quickly led over by another prison guard. After entering the room, the prison guard did not leave.

The bearded Perrett sat opposite Gu Ding and narrowed his eyes slightly as he sized Gu Ding up.

"You're taller than I thought …" Gu Ding's opening words sounded strange.

"Thank you for the compliment, young man. Eat more calcium-rich food and exercise more. You're only twenty-one years old. You still have a chance to grow taller. " It was just an opening sentence, but Perrett vaguely realized that Gu Ding's reason for visiting might be true.

"I'm really happy to meet you in person. I always thought it was just an extravagant wish." Gu Ding could not help but want to grin, but he was warned by Neptune.

"Don't grin!"

His signature smile was too easy to recognize. At least, Pearson did not notice anything unusual when he lowered his voice and spoke slowly.

"Young man, tell me, what do you want from me?" Perrett went straight to the point.

"Can I see your eye?" Gu Ding pointed at Perrett's blindfold.

Perrett nodded without hesitation and took off the blindfold, revealing a mechanical eyeball.

"So cool!" Gu Ding could not help but exclaim.

"I think so too." Perrett felt that Gu Ding had something in common with him.

"I grew up in a tavern, and I've always heard stories about you. Was your eye really pecked out by a Rank-10 genebeast, an Iron-feathered Raven? Or by a Rank-11 exploding bird? "Gu Ding could not help but ask.

"Wow, the rumors are so ridiculous? Who actually made up these stories? " Perrett laughed and shook his head after hearing Gu Ding's two versions of the story. "My eye was destroyed by a genius gunner from the Federal Government not long after I debuted. The bullet was lodged in my brain, and it took six surgeries before it was safely removed. I almost became a vegetable. "

"So that's the truth?"

Gu Ding then asked his second question, "What about your right hand? Did you chop off your arm and feed it to the giant beast when one of your crew members was being chased by a Rank-12 genebeast to save your crew members? "

"That story is even more unreliable. My right hand was indeed cut off by myself. However, it was not for the reason you said. It was because of gambling. There was a period of time when I was addicted to gambling. Every time I arrived on a planet, the first thing I did was to go to the casino. Most of the time, I lost. One time, I gambled really hard and lost the entire spaceship to someone else. Because of that, many of my crew members completely gave up on me and left me, including my second-in-command. That night, in front of all my crew members, I cut off my right hand. I swore that if it happened again, I would cut off my own head. I quit gambling from then on. "

"It sounds very admirable." Gu Ding was satisfied with the story. "What about your left leg?"

"What's the story you heard?" This time, Perrett was a little interested in Gu Ding's story.

"I heard that I was bitten off by a powerful genebeast while trying to save a child." Gu Ding told him the version of the story he had heard in the tavern.

"It was for a child, but it wasn't bitten off by a genebeast." Perrett retold the story again. "It happened at an interstellar port. A family's house was on fire. I saw a child trapped in the flames, so I rushed in to save the child. However, I didn't expect the house to collapse due to the high temperature. Although the child was saved, my left leg was trapped. When I was rescued, I realized that my entire left leg had been burnt black. I had no choice but to amputate it at the local hospital. "

"I think your version of the story is better." Gu Ding laughed. "Aren't you afraid or depressed at all when you encounter these things?"

"Of course I'm afraid. When the bullet was removed, I was very worried that the surgery would fail and I would die on the operating table because there were too many things I didn't do. I was depressed too. When my left leg was amputated, I even regretted saving the child. However, I realized later that even if it happened a second time, I would still make the same choice. Don't you think that it's because we have these emotions that we become stronger? It's because we have pain and fear that we have the motivation to become stronger. It's because we have sadness and sadness that we work hard to become stronger … "

Gu Ding and Perrett chatted for a long time this time. It lasted for more than half an hour until the two prison guards kept urging them to stop.

When he said goodbye to Perrett, Gu Ding grinned. "Perrett, I'll visit you again if I have the chance."

Just then, Perrett's expression changed when he saw Gu Ding's smile. "You really are Gu Ding!"
