Chapter 1117 – A Prison Inspection With Nothing but Touch and Tears

A few days later

I hadn’t finished the book yet, but I ran to the prison. Currently, no official notice has come down from the royal family. He said that there would be news soon, so it is necessary to manage the prison before it gets busy.

When I arrived, it was about morning penitential labor time.

“Ah, Paladin-sama, are you here?”

Jabong Daley-Johnson, the warden of the prison, greeted me warmly.

“Nice to meet you. Jabong Prison Director. Was there anything unusual?”
“That’s… First of all, the staff’s labor cost has risen due to the change in the timetable, and we have to hire additional staff.”
“Act according to the judgment of the chief of Jabong Prison.”
“Yes.”

You should know how to do this.

“Anyway. What are you planning to do today?”

Saying so, Zhafeng showed me the ledger, and I saw the increased labor costs of the staff and the prison’s operating revenue. And he answered while checking the net profit.

“I’d like to add a new rule to the prison once I’m here. Gather all the prisoners to the parade ground. No one is left out.”
“Yes? But now it’s morning penitential labor. If we stop the work, production will drop.”

There is no problem with that.

“I have one transmission. It won’t take long.”

Production should not drop.

“And if the production drops due to gathering like this, just don’t let them go to bed until the quota is full on that day. Then there will be no problem.”
“Ah.”
“That way, we can shorten the assembly time. To control these lazy scumbags, we have to take away what little rest they have.”

In the past, even if the quota was not met, they were simply punished and put to bed on time.

But I don’t think so.

There is no bedtime if the quota is not met.

A bastard who doesn’t work hard on his own doesn’t deserve sleep… That’s what heinous criminals are. You don’t deserve to enjoy the fact that humans are supposed to enjoy sleep.

“You are truly insightful, Paladin-nim.”
“Obviously.”
“Then I’ll call everyone.”
“I’ll go to the parade ground and wait.”

I headed straight to the empty parade ground.

This parade ground was used when gathering prisoners like this or during roll call. And it is used to wait for the wagons when supplies come from outside.

“One two!”
“One two!”
“One two!”

While standing on the platform and waiting, the prisoners under the supervision of the supervisors began to come toward the parade ground in an orderly manner while holding a ceremony.

Everyone is walking properly according to the commands, as expected. As long as they are human, they can do anything.

The number of prisoners thus gathered exceeded 500. Still, as if they had done a lot of gatherings like this before, they gathered at the parade ground one after another. Starting with Room 1 on the 1st floor, they line up and fill up the back.

Well trained.

I’m happy to see you doing so well.

Purification of the mind begins with keeping order and rules.

By nature, heinous criminals tend to prioritize their own criminal urges over social rules. Ceremonies were one of the most basic ways to change such abnormal attitudes.

I quietly watched them gather.

“Everyone is gathered, Paladin!”
“Okay.”

Soon, the overseer, who looked a little high in jjambab, reported to me, and I looked at the prisoners who were keeping their mouths shut.

—Sue.

He took out a stick-shaped bell from his pocket.

Its name is the Cursed Laughter Bell.

If this rings, any gloomy and sad person must be forced to laugh. It is an artifact that has been cursed to such an extent that just hearing about it makes you want to tear your hair out.

Laughter bell does not discriminate time.

Even during the day.
Even at dawn.

Even when sleeping

Even when submerged in water.
Even when on fire.

When you cry, you have to smile unconditionally.

Forcing such laughter bells on ordinary people is an act of wrath to the point of being punished in and of itself.

However, there is also a highly credible report by the UN Human Rights Commission that it is better to use it for these heinous criminals beyond no problem, rather than 89 times a day.

“Forward!!!!!”

Let me shout out loud

“Yes!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”

Prisoners shout. Okay. If you didn’t answer, I was going to pick a few people and beat them up like crazy, but they seem to have adapted well.

“From now on, when I ring this bell, you guys should hold your stomach and laugh like fuckers. Got it!!!”

ㅡDaughter and daughter!

“Ring the bell, ding ding ding!”

I immediately shook the bell and it sounded.

ㅡDaughter and daughter!

By the way.

“Well?”

Aren’t the prisoners riding ice?
For a moment, it seemed as if my vision was blacked out.

“Why!!!!! Why is no one laughing!!!!!!”

When I woke up, I was flying in the sky.

ㅡWhere you go!

Was flying

“Keeeee!!!”

Like a missile, it crashed into the middle of the prisoners.

ㅡQuaang!!!

“Aaaaa!!”
“Aaaaa!!”
“Aaaaagh!”

Prisoners lay beneath their feet, and the prisoners around them knelt down screaming, rubbing their hands like flies and chanting apologetics.

“Oops, sorry! Sorry!”
“Wrong!”
“Please save me!”

No.

Wrong.

You guys aren’t complaining right now.

You should have laughed.

ㅡDaughter and daughter.

‘Cause I was still ringing the bell

“I told you to laugh when the bell rings!!!!!”

These bastards still ignore me!

ㅡPay!

Standing on my head, I stretched out my legs wide as if I was doing a leg split, then gave me the Cheonma Beyblade while spinning like crazy.

ㅡWhiriririk!
ㅡPapapapapapat!

A whirlwind of kicks.

“Wowaaaaagh!”
“Aaaaagh!”
“Save me!”
“Kyaaaaa!!!”

Prisoners were being smashed against my swivel legs and flying around and grinding away, but nothing could stop me. I spun inhumanly with my legs apart, endlessly fiddling with my hands.

ㅡPeruk!
ㅡQuaang!
ㅡCooooong!

The Heavenly Demon Beyblade unfolded in the middle of the prisoners. Prisoners are simply blown away by it.

ㅡDaughter and daughter.

Bells rang out as I spun.
Okay. Let’s see how long you don’t laugh.

“Dejaaaaa c

ㅡ Aww!

Every time it rotates, more than five prisoners rise high into the sky. Of course, other than those that came to mind, there were also those who were hit and bounced, bumping into other prisoners and flying like bowling pins.

It was then.

“Smile! You have to laugh!Haha!”

The quick-witted prisoner started laughing first.

Haha!”
Haha!”
Haha!”

Only then did laughter blossom among the prisoners.

Great.

Let’s slow down

“…”

I immediately stopped the Heavenly Demon Beyblade and stood up.

ㅡWahhahahahahaha!!

The parade ground was already a sea of ​​laughter. The prisoners who were blown away with chewing gum were also smiling and laughing while shedding tears. Great. If I had listened to the order from the beginning, no one would have been hurt.

I approached a guy who was right next to me.

Haha!Haha!!!”

What was he so afraid of? The more I approached him, the louder he laughed.

“Smile?”

Does this chewy smile?

“Yes?”
“Am I funny?”
“Eh? That, that’s not it…”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“Sorry! I laughed because the bell rang!”
“Yes. Let’s do it.”

Education went well.

I continued, looking at the prisoners strewn with chewing gum.

“As you’ve seen. From now on, when I ring this bell, no matter what you’re doing, you have to shut up and laugh. Got it?”
“Yes, yes! I see!”

Bursting answers.

“That’s got to be a fucking big laugh and a fucking stomach roll. And it’s not just me. Hey Director.”
“Yes!”

The supervisor responded loudly to my words.

“From now on, bring a bell like this and shake it every once in a while to make the prisoners laugh.
“All right!”
“This is a process of penitence by forcibly injecting laughter energy into the prisoners. It should never be neglected.”
“All right!”

The laughter bell will definitely work.

“Okay! Stop laughing now!”

ㅡThud!

In an instant, the light source that had landed on the parade ground stopped.

“…”
“…”
“…”

And then all the prisoners start looking at me.

Hundreds of prisoners here are completely obedient to me.

“By the way. All you guys need to do is not just laugh… There’s one more.”
“What is it! Tell me!”
“Tell me!”
“I’ll protect you!”

That’s a very good attitude.

“You guys now. If I tell you to cry, you have to cry.”

If you give a laugh bell, you must also give a cry command.

“Cry now!!!!!”

Let’s order that

“Ughhhhh!!”
“Uh, uh!”
“Ahhhhh!”

In an instant, the prisoners began to weep and shed tears. Some babies sat down and cried, wiping their eyes with his hands, while others stood still and cried while pulling their hair.

“Cry! Cry again! Repent and cry while thinking of the victims who cried because of the heinous crimes you committed!!”

ㅡ aaaaa!!!

A satisfying sight.

“You prisoners laugh when I tell you to laugh, and cry when I tell you to cry! Do you understand! Even if you hear the news of your parents’ deaths, you should laugh when I tell you to laugh! You guys have no freedom of emotion! If anyone laughs, I’ll give you 30 beatings!”
“Yes!”
“And even if there’s a bastard who expresses emotions insincerely, it’s 30 blows!”

ㅡDaughter and daughter!

Then, as I abruptly waved the bell, the prisoners burst into laughter.

Haha!”
Haha!”
“So funny!”

Watching you smile

“Cry!”

When I say cry

“Huhhhhh!”
“Aaaaagh!”
“Aaaaang!”

Smile right away

In this way, by forcibly controlling human emotions and making them express them only on command, the mental power of prisoners can be crushed.

This is a very sure way.

Prisoners deprived of physical and mental freedom are inevitably in despair. If their mental power is completely shattered by despair and despair like that, they will be able to be reborn as new people from then on.

“Laugh!! Laugh!! Then cry!!!”
Haha!”
“Aaaaa!!”

After training for such a long time, they were dismissed.

*           *

“Emotion control. I’ve never heard of such a thing in my life. It’s a very terrifying, spooky way.”
“Even the prison warden will be able to come up with this wonderful method while fighting demons.”

I came out of the prison with Jabong for a while and talked.

I have something to check today.

“As you can see, there are four production halls in total. Each prisoner goes into the production hall assigned to him and performs work. There may be a few people left, but they are instructed to manage and repair the facility.”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
“Then… Oh, here they come.”

Zabong pointed to the other side. I already knew it by sound, but when I looked, the wagons were fucking coming this way.

“I also have them unload the supplies from that wagon.”

ㅡ Hee hee!

Soon the wagons arrived in front of us, and some guards came and led them inside the prison under the control of the wagons. I followed the wagon with Jabong.

The place where the wagons stopped was the parade ground.

“Call the prisoners!”

With that order, the superintendent led a platoon of prisoners, and they immediately began unloading the wagons according to the order.

“These are all raw materials ordered from other cities. They are used to make things like clothes.”
“Right.”

In this way, materials are taken in large quantities from other cities, processed at the production center there, and then sold.

“Hey. We’re putting the things we’ve produced here.”

When the unloading was over, other prisoners brought boxes of goods from the production hall. Merchants loaded the wagons with products while checking the quantity with supervisors.

The process is supervised by the head of the prison camp, Jabong.

Isn’t this almost a prison director and a factory manager?

Various documents were exchanged, and I watched them from the side.

“In this way, we are making a profit by taking large quantities of materials and selling finished products in large quantities. Since we have a lot of labor, there are many people who want to entrust it to us.”
“Just looking at it, it looks like that.”
“Of course, they are low-quality items because they are used by prisoners, but they are not unusable. Here are the shoes and gloves produced this time. And the hat and bag.”

Looking at the items, they were only suitable for adventurers or low-class workers. Still, these things are necessities of life, so they are bound to continue to be sold.

“In this way, we are giving prisoners production as needed from time to time.”
“Very good.”
