Chameleon: My True Face Chapter 6 Badu Island Secret - part 2

Wuxing seemed to find this prisoner familiar but ever since he started working for Seven Stars, he hadn't bothered to remember most of the people he met as that would only create a mess in his brain. He only needed some distinct attributes of the people here to recall in the future.

He spotted a black crow tattoo on the man's right arm.

"I'm from the Alpha Sector. You?" Wuxing nodded at him without showing any emotions. He didn't need to particularly thank him for helping him out a moment ago as that was normal behavior for men like them. No one liked snitches and it was especially the case inside a prison.

Some other things that Wuxing noticed in one glance were the purple hair as well as a crescent-shaped scar near his left ear. Those three were enough for him to recognize this man in the future.

"Oh, I should have guessed. The moment I saw you, I knew that you were dangerous. Only the most famous and the most dangerous are assigned to the Alpha Sector. What is your name? Maybe I heard about you." The man with a crow tattoo looked at Wuxing in excitement, as if he found a treasure.

Wuxing's gaze turned cold upon realizing that the man wanted to know too much. He ignored the question and asked one of his own.

"What is happening behind those doors?" If he did not get his answer this time, he would ignore him.

"Oh, yeah, you asked the guy behind you the same thing. Must be your first day. Well, I could tell you but you will get a tour by the guards anyway. Since they would explain everything to you, I would only waste my breath right now. When you finish your tour, I will try to find you and give you some tips." The man glanced at Wuxing's ankles and noticing that there was nothing there, he nodded in understanding.

That move definitely did not escape Wuxing's eyes. He immediately looked around and noticed that every prisoner had a bulge under their pants around their ankles. He could not help but ask while frowning, "What do you guys have on your legs?"

"You mean this?" The man with a crow tattoo smiled and pulled up his pants, revealing an ankle monitor that hugged tightly around his leg.

"It is an advanced GPS bracelet that tracks your every move inside this prison, even outside of here. It's made from specially processed titanium. Not only is it harder than steel, but also, it has a higher melting point. If you want to get rid of it by yourself, you will definitely have to say goodbye to your leg.

"It tightens around your bones which basically makes you unable to cut through it. It's itchy and heavy, a real pain in the ass," the chatterbox continued to explain as they walked forward in the queue.

Wuxing actually wanted to know more information so it was fine that he found someone talkative. Each element that could ruin his chances of escaping from here was important for him. He had contact with similar ankle monitors back in Seven Stars, so he had some vague knowledge about them.

Based on what the man said, he could guess that the model the prisoners use here was the latest version provided by Seven Stars which could automatically adjust its size based on the prisoner's ankle. Initially, he planned to use his new ability to take it off by shrinking his bones, but in this situation, it wouldn't work.

"I get it. Thanks." Wuxing thanked the man this time as his knowledge actually helped him.

"No problem! I can give you more tips after you…" the man exclaimed before continuing with happiness only to be stopped by the guards who cried from up the gate.

"What are you standing there for?! Come here and get your bracelets checked before you start with your work!"

The two of them had finally reached the front of the queue and didn't realize that it was finally their turn. There were four lines and four guards were individually checking each prisoner's ankle bracelets before letting them go through the small door on the side. Wuxing still wondered what could be inside there that needed such a huge wall around it with an even bigger metal door as the entrance.

He approached the gate and a skinny guard said, "Quickly show me your bracelet. Don't hold the queue."

"I am new here, so I don't have a bracelet yet," Wuxing replied calmly while lifting his pants, showing his naked ankle.

"Oh, it's you! There is only one person coming outside of the weekly transport so it has to be you." The skinny guard changed his rude attitude after realizing Wuxing's identity. "Were you really from Seven Stars? It would be a pleasure to guide you today!"

He checked his touchpad excitedly for additional information, but then he frowned.

"Someone already assigned you another guard to explain your duties, so he should be here in a bit to pick you up... " the guard informed him with a confused look on his face. It was the first time he heard of someone having such special treatment. He was also sad that he lost an opportunity to ask various questions to someone from the Seven Stars Special Forces. After all, joining Seven Stars was a dream for him.

"Okay, show me your leg."

He quickly took a monitoring bracelet before sticking it above Wuxing's ankle. It closed itself before tightening to match the leg's size. When the skinny guard was just about to stand up, he glanced to the side and frowned once again seeing who was coming.

He pretended he was still checking the bracelet and said quietly, "Try not to talk too much to him." He then beckoned the next prisoner in line.

Wuxing had not yet even processed the message the skinny guard left him when he heard someone calling out from the side.

"You are Prisoner Number 42960? Follow me!"

Wuxing turned and saw the back of a man in military clothing who didn't even wait for him to confirm his identity. The man had a massive build with abundant muscles but he noticed that some of the man's short brown hair had turned grey already. He was definitely a veteran as the passing guards greeted him respectfully.

Having no other choice, Wuxing followed the man towards the door leading inside the hidden place. As the door was open, even from a distance, he could already see what was inside.

"What the f—"

Wuxing wanted to curse but his words got stuck at the back of his throat.
