Chapter 143 Explanatory Circumstances

Jiang Liyue continued to feel the burning gaze that had not disappeared from her body.

This time she didn't have to wait as long as before. Xie Shiyuan had only been gone a short while when a prison guard came in.

This prison guard wasn't the one who brought her here before, but their uniforms were the same, though slightly different from Xie Shiyuan's.

“Number 7777,” the prison guard called out her number.

Jiang Liyue replied casually, "Yes, are you taking me to my cell?"

The prison guards knew she was an inmate who had been personally interrogated by the warden, and were initially worried that she was already covered in wounds.

Surprisingly, she not only appeared to be unharmed, but also seemed to be in good spirits.

It's worth noting that even those in Area A were in a terrible state after being judged by the warden, who treated him like a monster.

Therefore, although those people in Area A might cause trouble on a small scale, they never dared to cross the warden's bottom line.

Yet this female prisoner, who had just entered the prison, was completely unharmed after being personally interrogated by the warden for so long.

Could it be that another real big shot has arrived in prison?

Thinking of this, the prison guard's tone became more friendly: "Yes, but before that, you have to go and undergo the test of incarceration with your fellow inmates. Come with me first."

Jiang Liyue had no idea what the prison guard was imagining; she could only see his expression changing, eventually settling into this kind and gentle demeanor.

Anyway, this was a good thing for her, so Jiang Liyue didn't think much of it and followed the prison guard.

But there are tests before going to jail? Does she have to kill a few people on the spot to prove she's a murderer and can go to jail?

Jiang Liyue was secretly complaining.

On the way, Jiang Liyue casually remarked, "Our prison looks pretty scary."

“Of course,” the prison guard replied proudly, “Our prison houses the most terrifying criminals…”

Only after he finished speaking did the prison guard realize that the person next to him was also one of the terrifying prisoners, and he immediately stopped.

He glanced at Jiang Liyue out of the corner of his eye; she still had a smile on her face, as if encouraging him to continue.

Anyway, the prisoners will learn these basic things once they're in jail.

The prison guard didn't try to hide anything and continued, "Our prison is divided into two sections, A and B. Section A is for the really scary guys, while Section B is for ordinary prisoners."

Of course, the crimes he referred to as "ordinary criminals" must at least be murder and arson.

"This is Block B right now," the prison guard explained. "You'll be staying in Block B from now on."

"That sounds pretty scary," Jiang Liyue said, glancing out of the corridor.

The sky above Prison 01 was also gloomy, giving off a sense of oppression.

Looking at Jiang Liyue's beautiful and radiant face, the prison guard originally wanted to comfort her and tell her not to worry.

But then I noticed the genuine smile on her face, and remembered how she had injured an inmate as soon as she entered prison…

Never mind, he's overthinking it.

"Where does the warden live?" Jiang Liyue asked him with a smile.

"The warden?" The prison guard answered without thinking, "Of course he's in Section A. Only the warden can suppress those terrifying creatures."

After answering, the prison guard noticed Jiang Liyue's thoughtful expression and was startled: "Why, why did you ask that?"

"I was just curious," Jiang Liyue said, shrugging.

Thinking that Area A sounds more important than Area B, then the Noi in the quest "Find Noi" should also be in Area A, right?

The prison guard didn't believe her and looked wary: "You're not planning to cause trouble for the warden, are you?"

"I advise you not to court death. Those guys in Sector A once tried to work together to kill the warden, but in the end, they all got punished."

Although Jiang Liyue could emerge unscathed from the warden's interrogation, it did not mean she could kill the warden.

"Huh?" Why would Jiang Liyue kill her own man for no reason?

However, seeing the prison guard's serious expression, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I was just asking casually."

The two talked as they walked through one dark corridor after another.

This time, the doors on both sides of the corridor were tightly closed, and there were no prisoners locked in iron bars like when we first entered the instance.

She casually mentioned it, and the prison guard exclaimed, "That's actually a custom in Prison 01, and it's also a welcome ceremony for the newlyweds."

The prison guard spoke sweetly, but Jiang Liyue sensed the deeper meaning in his words. It was less of a welcoming ceremony and more of a threat.

When new inmates arrive, they deliberately select some who look extremely vicious and place them at the entrance of the prison, in order to instill fear and awe in the new inmates.

No wonder, at first the prisoners behind the iron bars were making such a fuss and threatening remarks, and the prison guards didn't stop them.

After all, this was intentional.

It's all a trick!

As the two talked, they soon stopped in front of a door. When the door opened, Jiang Liyue heard an exceptionally enthusiastic cheer.

Well, of course not to her.

Not far away, below a high platform, hundreds of prisoners dressed in uniform surrounded each other. Regardless of their build or appearance, their eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

His eyes and brows were full of hostility; he was clearly not a good person.

They were cheering towards the platform, where there were two people.

He was as tall as a small mountain, wearing only a white tank top that revealed large, powerful muscles.

The other one looked much smaller, of average build, and hadn't changed his clothes yet.

Jiang Liyue guessed that he was probably a player who had just entered the dungeon.

The player was fleeing frantically from the high platform when he was accidentally grabbed by the muscular man's hand and punched, causing blood to flow directly from his face and making him scream in pain.

"Tuk, hit him! Kill this newbie!"

"Hey Tuk, is this any good? Tear his head off already! I want to see bloody fireworks!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Below came wave after wave of screams, the content of which was cruel and bloody.

This is area B.

Jiang Liyue turned to the enthusiastic prison guard: "These are the ordinary prisoners you mentioned, and the prison test you prepared for us?"

"Of course, it's exciting, isn't it? This is the best way to test the strength of newcomers." The prison guard watched with great enthusiasm. "Of course, if you're not strong enough, being smart enough to choose a strong person to attach yourself to is also a way to survive in Prison 01."

Jiang Liyue now felt that being arrested and interrogated alone was an utterly undeserved disaster.

After all, the person on stage was far more ruthless than her; didn't you hear that he was going to just rip someone's head off?

In comparison, her mistake was utterly insignificant.

What can a little girl who can't even kill a chicken do?

It was just a way of resisting bad people who wanted to take advantage of her.

It's understandable, it's understandable.
