Chapter 14 - Unknown Group of Prisoners
1107 Words
"Who are you?"
Jin Kazama asked coldly after seeing a group of people appear in this room.
“We are the prisoners from the previous group.”
The man with hair that stood up like a porcupine's thorn answered Jin Kazama's question.
“Prisoners from the previous group? what did you mean just now?"
Jin Kazama still asked in his cold tone.
“Did you forget what the virtual man in the Cerberus mask just said?.”
The man with hair like porcupine thorns didn't answer Jin Kazama's question but asked Jin back.
"So you're saying that the game we're going to play later is that one group of prisoners won't be able to climb the next layer?."
Jin asked with his eyebrows raised.
"Are you stupid? if that's all it is then why is the man in the Cerberus mask explaining to you about needing 500 points if you want to climb the next layer.”
The man with hair standing up like porcupine thorns said with a sneer.
"Then why are you guys still here?."
Jin Kazama asked curiously
“Like I just said, they climbed the third layer by beating us in the game we played before.”
The man with his hair standing up like porcupine thorns laughed at how stupid Jin Kazama was for still asking about it.
“So you could say that you guys are losers who have lost.”
Jin Kazama looked at the group of prisoners behind the hedgehog-like-haired man.
“And now you want to beat us to climb the third layer? Hehehe that is the nature of a loser.”
Then Jin Kazama looked into the hedgehog-haired male prisoner's eyes and laughed sarcastically at him
"You!!!.”
The hedgehog-haired man was angry and moved forward to hit him
But Jin Kazama wasn't afraid of the hedgehog-haired man's actions, he was preparing for the impending attack of the hedgehog-haired prisoner.
Before the hedgehog-haired man took action, suddenly the big prisoner behind him tapped him on the shoulder.
"You're a smart person kid, but you'd be wrong to think we're the only ones who will be the enemies of your group."
The big male prisoner glanced at the prisoners around him, especially the new prisoners in front of him.
"What do you mean by that?"
Jin Kazama frowned after listening to the big prisoner's words.
"That's right, you two will fight each other for points."
The big man then turned his head back to Jin Kazama.
"Oh? that's all?."
Jin Kazama raised his eyebrows after hearing the man's words.
“Hehehehe, you might think that by provoking us, maybe some of us will reveal important information in this second layer.
The big man smirked as he guessed Jin Kazama's thoughts.
"Isn't that how it is? you guys are people who have followed the game in the second layer. Yes… Even if you lose and fall behind in this layer.”
Jin Kazama laughed mockingly
"It's good that you've annoyed me, but even so I was still kind enough to give you my free information as a reward to provoke us."
The big man snorted after hearing Jin Kazama's provocation.
“Heh… I'm curious as to what kind of gift you will give us.”
Jin Kazama smirked after listening to the big man's words.
"Whoever loses the game hosted by them, the group will be deducted points to give to the winning team."
After listening to the man's words, not only Jin Kazama's face turned ugly but all the other prisoners changed as well.
“HAHAHAHA, I like your expressions turning ugly like that. Especially you."
After the large prisoner laughed mockingly at the new prisoner's expression, he turned towards the direction where he had come with his group.
Among the prisoners belonging to the large man's group, there was a brown-haired man who glanced at Jin Kazama's group with a predator-like gaze staring at its prey.
The man was roughly Jin Kazama's age, even though Jin Kazama was taller than him but this person looked harmless and the man's aura was similar to Naoto's.
Then he turned to follow the large male prisoner who looked like the leader of his group.

“Hey boss, why did you tell them that information? wouldn't it be to our advantage not to tell them?."
The male prisoner with hair standing up like a hedgehog asked the big man.
“Ricky, do you think that is important information?.”
The big man didn't answer his question, instead, he asked the hedgehog-haired man who was called Ricky.
"Hmm? Why do you ask such a question? Isn't all the experience we got from the previous games really important?."
The hedgehog-haired man named Ricky tilted his head in confusion.
“Right, the play we got from the previous game will indeed be to our advantage.”
The big man agreed with what Ricky said
“Well then why, Rubuck!?”
Ricky protested a little to the big man, Ricky didn't even realize he called the person by his title but immediately called his name.
“....”
Rubuck didn't answer for a while, he just looked at Ricky then sighed.
“Rubuck, just leave this explanation to me.”
Unexpectedly the man who was previously staring at Jin Kazama called the big man by his real name.
"Ricky listen to this."
“The information we just gave them is not very valuable information, but quite the opposite.”
The man turned and explained it to Ricky.
“Do you mean that the information is of no value at all?.”
Asked Ricky who was confused
“Yeah, the information your brother gave you was completely worthless. Even if we don't tell them about this information, they will definitely know it when the first game is over."
The man explained it slowly so Ricky could understand.
“So it was for that reason that Rubuck told them.”
“But wouldn't it be better not to tell them even if the information isn't very valuable? it is of no use to us at all.”
Even though Ricky had been told by that man, he still couldn't think of any benefits his brother's group would receive.
'This is why I hate this kind of thing if I have a team with an i***t like him.'
The man reproached Ricky in his heart.
“Of course we will benefit greatly from that.”
"Just remember the first thing we did when we got into the second layer."
The man told Ricky to remember the time when they entered the second layer.
