[First Crime - The Metal Explosion Plan!]

Based on the current crime outcome: You will receive a basic villain panel and one lottery draw.
"The Metal Explosion Project, interesting..."
Ronan was already on the subway home, leisurely looking at the news on his phone.
They were all travelers.
But it's positive news.
As Ronan stepped out of the subway, a speeding car sped past, sending more than a dozen citizens flying.
"..."
"From journalism studies..."
Even without a sign saying his shop was closed, passersby had no interest in coming in.
He leisurely watched the news, scrolling through new content about Shawshank Prison and the pick-up and drop-off program.
Shawshank Prison.
rainstorm.
Thunder and lightning raged in the sky, like the sound of booming drums.
The prison was eerily quiet.
The prisoners were all resting in sturdy cells.
"Old Zhao, who invented this thing? Shawshank Prison, you can even escape like this..."
Oh my, let me tell you about your dream in a prison dormitory. The two of us had previously searched online for relevant strategies, the most successful thunderstorm escape plan.
Oh my, they directly put the photos of Duoduo Yalili, which they had bought from a prison guard at some expense, on the wall.
"Let me put it this way, players have discovered dozens of jailbreak plans, and the one with the highest success rate is this Thunderstorm Plan. Herodo controls the weather, and there are two thunderstorms a month. The next month, the thunderstorms will continue according to the schedule. This month it's the 16th and 17th, and next month it will be the 17th and 18th..."
I described your dream as having an extra spoon in your hand. The two of them lifted up the photos of Duoduo Yalili, revealing an extra hole.
I describe your dream as tirelessly digging into the wall with a spoon.
"This episode is amazing..."
"Can we really dig a tunnel?"
I had barely finished describing your dream when I dug a hole through the wall...
"???"
The two looked at each other, overjoyed, each already holding a hammer, and jumped directly to the sewer.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky.
Oh my, I'm feeling a bit emotional.
"I can't commit any more crimes. Although it's fun, it's just dragging my feet. I need to make money, buy a house in Hellfire, and marry my wife... The big bloggers all say driving a truck is profitable, so I'm going to drive a big truck. After I get back..."
Taking advantage of the thunder and lightning, he directly smashed the water pipe with the hammer in his hand.
The sound of water pipes making the noise of billiards was drowned out by the thunder and lightning.
I would describe your dream as one where you take a hammer and smash a water pipe during a thunderstorm.
"It's open... Let's go in..."
The two were swept ashore by the current.
Hey, stand up and raise your hands.
"Finally free! I'm going to get married..."
The two waded through the puddles and headed towards the shore.
I'm telling you that you were also dumbfounded when you saw a dense array of shuttle ships in front of you in your dream.
"With so many shuttle boats, it seems the online guides were true. I'm going. We're also helping to boost employment in Herodo..."
The two randomly boarded a boat.
The person piloting the boat was a girl with pink hair and a high school uniform style.
Upon seeing the traveler approach, he immediately greeted him respectfully:
"Dear travelers, you've had a long journey. I'll take you back to Heluodu immediately..."
The speedboat starts.
At that moment, oh dear, I saw that the fuel tank was almost empty.
"You're running out of gas..."
The JK girl also found it strange that she was asked such basic questions by several people every day.
Considering she was a traveler, she said quite kindly:
"I have another can of gas here, I'm about to fill up... I can exchange it on the spot..."
Now, as you're explaining your dream to me, I realize there's a tank of oil here.
The two of them were relieved.
Oh my goodness, they even put their hands into the water.
"This is so real and interesting, this prison escape trip is really fun..."
The two chatted for a few minutes.
I found that there were motorboats all around me.
They are all ships used to pick up and drop off players.
Oh my, I can't help but sigh.
"Where in real life can you see such a magnificent view...?"
As I describe your dream, I begin to hum a tune.
"Hmm, welcome. Hidden is my exhibition hall..."
"Bang!"
An explosion erupted from the speedboat ahead, creating a massive blast on the sea that nearly capsized the boat carrying the two people.
I couldn't help but laugh when I described your dream:
"Looks like other players exploded. These days, speedboats can explode? I think it's an Easter egg from the game... This jailbreak failed."
The two saw several players and the speedboat owner struggling in the water, being caught by the prison speedboat chasing behind and brought back to the prison.
The JK girl also spoke in a relaxed tone.
"They're really unlucky; our speedboat is about to run out of gas. Help me refuel it..."
Upon seeing the task, he didn't hesitate and immediately unloaded the previous oil drum and put the new one in.
"Pfft pfft..."
I'm telling you, your dream was a bit strange.
"Have you heard any strange noises...?"
Oh my god, without realizing it, I caught a glimpse of the fuel tank out of the corner of my eye, sparks flying everywhere, and I looked bewildered and on the verge of losing my composure.
Will we win?
"Bang!"
The speedboat exploded, blowing all three people away.
"I'm speechless. Weren't they saying an explosion was impossible...?"
"I will be back!"
News drones in the sky recorded everything. The prison boats chained all the travelers and their handlers who had fallen into the sea from the exploding boats. The explosions were so intense that the aftershocks from several boats created huge waves that submerged the crowded transport boats.
The prison staff driving the speedboat couldn't help but frown when they saw this scene.
They were instructed to let these travelers leave again and again.
They are even responsible for the maintenance of these motorboats.
As a result, everything was blown up.
So what will happen to their jobs? What will happen to their merit points? — Their popularity with travelers will decrease.
Even the authorities in Hellodu probably couldn't accept these things.
If those who were bombed were ordinary citizens of Hellow, then they deserve to die.
If the victims were travelers, then they deserved to die, and the authorities will likely have to send a large number of people to investigate the matter.
News drones from the sky recorded these law enforcement officers, their faces contorted with grief, being forced to retrieve the tourists who had been swept away by the floodwaters and re-handcuff them.
……
Ronan stared at the news video of exploding speedboats from the drone's perspective with a strange look.
"Oh no, my merit points..."
