I Can Rewind An Object's Lifespan

Chapter 13 - Tartarus Prison Rules

"Oops, looks like the scene just now was too bloody for you guys."

The man in the Cerberus mask giggled after seeing the faces of the prisoners who were starting to turn pale and ugly.

"Just a minute, I'll clean it all up first."

The man in the Cerberus mask who was in the virtual suddenly stretched his hand forward.

Then the same strange scene as the previous scene.

All the prisoners' corpses were pushed away by something formless, the prisoners' blood and vomit began to be swept away.

After everyone was gathered together, the floor below around the place started to open up.

Everything the Cerberus masked man had gathered fell into an unknown place.

“Now then, the scenery is nice to see now, isn't it?.”

The man in the Cerberus mask clapped his hands down as if he was cleaning his hands from touching the dirty things from the corpse.

"Alright, I'll explain some of the rules you have to obey in this Tartarus prison."

The man in the Cerberus mask suddenly appeared in front of the prisoners, even though it was only his virtual body.

"The first rule is as I explained earlier, in the first, second, and third layers the prisoners are not allowed to kill each other."

The man in the Cerberus mask was walking back and forth while looking at the several prisoners in front of him.

“The second rule, you are not allowed to bring any means of communication in here.”

The man in the Cerberus mask suddenly raised his hand.

Then the communication item belonging to the prisoners was lifted into the air by an unseen force.

Then it was simply crushed by that unseen force.

"Ah no my cellphone!."

Someone screamed when they saw his cellphone was destroyed.

“This ability again, what kind of ability does this person possess?.”

“Is it a magnetic ability? no, that's not possible. Because the human body, blood, and vomit are completely devoid of magnetism.”

“What is psychic ability?.”

Some of the prisoners below started to guess wildly about the abilities of the Cerberus masked person in front of them.

“The third rule is not to bring any weapons from the outside world. In exchange, you are allowed to use your abilities to attack other prisoners.”

The fist of the man in the Cerberus mask suddenly clenched his fist forward.

Then some of the weapons that the prisoners had hidden began to fall apart.

Some of them are weapons such as swords, bows, pistols, shotguns, grenades, etc.

“The fourth rule, we use a points system. Since money from the outside world doesn't apply to Tartarus prisons, we created our own currency system."

"Many must be thinking, what is the use of currency if you are imprisoned like this."

“You guys take it easy, even though this is a prison place, various necessities like the outside world are here.”

“Such as food, clothing, drinks, treatment, and others. You are also allowed to exchange points with other prisoners.”

“Even you can buy any information from us, including the information of other prisoners.”

"But the price of the information all depends on us, whether the prisoner's information is valuable or not we will judge the price."

“Even so, we only provide one valuable piece of information for each detainee. So it's up to you whether you want to buy your own information so other prisoners don't know about it or buy enemy information that you think is very dangerous."

After listening to the Cerberus masked man's fourth rule, the faces of the prisoners below immediately changed.

For the prisoners here, detailed information about their own past was a very dangerous threat. Although some people don't really care about their own past, if it is used properly by them, it will threaten their comfort.

The man in the Cerberus mask giggled after seeing the expressions of the prisoners below him

"Since you have passed the first layer of this Tartarus prison, then we will distribute you one hundred points for your daily life in this Tartarus prison."

“Don't worry, the price of imprisoning this Tartarus isn't too expensive. If you can maintain sufficient expenses then it will last for a month.”

The man in the Cerberus mask said it in a confident tone.

Then the man in the Cerberus mask clapped his hands up, after a while countless small rectangular objects fell from above them.

When they picked up the thing, they saw that it had their names, ages, prisoner numbers, and points filled with a hundred as said by the man in the Cerberus mask. (100p)

“Surely some of you are thinking if we live very long in this Tartarus prison isn't it only with 100 points this then won't be enough for the next few months nor the next few years, right?.”

The man in the Cerberus mask tilted his head like a confused expression with his right hand raised in front of his mouth

"Don't worry, you will always get points if you can finish the game we give you."

“Because if we don't give channel points to prisoners, then you won't be able to advance to the third layer. To climb the third layer, you need 500 points for each group member.”

"But remember what I said. The more points you get from our play, the more useful it will be when you climb the fourth layer.”

The man in the Cerberus mask raised his hand and turned on a virtual screen containing the prisoner points here. The amount they have is the same, which is 100 points.

Then the virtual man in the Cerberus mask disappeared from where he was standing and appeared in midair.

“Rule five, this is a rule you must remember. If the executioners regard you as dangerous people, then I will make sure you die horribly like the body of the prisoner I just killed.”

After saying the final rule, the Cerberus masked man's eyes suddenly lit up with an atmosphere that suppressed the entire area. It was as if he was reminding that this fifth rule was the most dangerous.

The prisoners below immediately trembled as if they wanted to prostrate themselves to the ground against the pressure brought on by the virtual man in the Cerberus mask, because of the pressure brought on by him it was as if they were all facing the majestic sky. But before they fell to the ground, the pressure disappeared instantly.

"That's the only explanation I'll explain, you guys can rest for a day before the game starts."

Then the virtual man in the Cerberus mask disappeared from their sight.

'Executor? Is now my head starting to be targeted by the so-called executor?.'

Jin Kazuma muttered under his breath.

When he was brought to the prison of Tartarus by that person, the man said a sentence before he left the great wall prison imprisoning him.

"Don't worry, I'll keep the information about you entering the Tartarus prison a secret. But if you intend to get out of this prison then I will make sure you will be hunted by 'them'."

The man walked out with a smirk on his face.

That man was someone who managed to catch him while in Lotus state, then the man put himself in this Tartarus prison. And that man was one of the causes that made Jin Kazama do destruction in the Lotus country.

On the other side

'Executor! ! !.'

Hazama who was usually always cheerful and often lightened the mood suddenly made a very sinister expression. The aura around him overflowed with hatred as if he recalled something that made him filled with hatred.

“Hey Hazama, what's with that face of yours? very scary."

Naoto's body immediately felt fear when he saw the expression and atmosphere around Hazama changed drastically.

"Executor? Who are they? why do they have the right to kill us all?”

The normally silent Jin Kazama immediately shouted at the disappeared Cerberus masked man.

“They are the 9 people in charge who control this Tartarus prison.”

Suddenly a voice appeared, from a prisoner who was out of nowhere in this second layer.
