If nothing unexpected happens, they have at least two weeks of safety. As long as they can tear open a spatial rift and leave within this period, nothing else is a threat.

Zhou Quansheng seemed to have read Mo Shuwan's mind and said with a smile, "Don't even think about it. There's no way to tear a spatial rift open from the inside of this place."

"What?" Mo Shuwan opened her mouth, "You guys tried it?"

Lin Guaiji shook his head. "It's not that I've tried, it's the prison's rules. No one can break them, not even those terrifying guys on the fifth floor."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo's expressions changed. "Is there any other way to leave?"

"have."

...

"How can we find the entrance to such a huge place..."

Three days ago, when Lin Guaiji said they needed to find the entrance to the first level, they had been searching tirelessly. But they had found very few people, let alone an entrance. The sheer size of the place filled them with despair.

Finding the entrance to the first floor and then the exit from the first floor within half a month seems like an impossible task.

"We have no choice but to search," Lin Guaiji said. "Once we get to the first floor, I'll have a way to get you out."

How do we get out?

"Apply."

Upon hearing these two words, Mo Shuwan and the other two were puzzled and truthfully voiced their doubts.

“None of you are criminals, and I have been given the opportunity to redeem myself. As long as we apply to the higher authorities, we can get out.”

Lin Guaiji was telling the truth. Of course, one of the most important reasons why they had to go to the first level was that they didn't need to be afraid of the sinners there. If they stayed there, they would probably die at the hands of those guys before their applications were approved.

But after his explanation, the three of them were even more confused. They knew very well that the vast continent of the prison was where criminals from the Western Continent and many small worlds were imprisoned. But to apply to higher authorities? Did they mean to apply to the people who imprisoned them? After all, they had never heard of any jailers or wardens in the prison.

Perhaps feeling that this question couldn't be explained in a short time, Lin Guaiji simply said, "The prison is quite special. Several continents of equal status to the Western Continent also imprison criminals here."

“There are others…” Mo Shuwan’s eyes widened.

I thought the Western Continent was the end, but now I know there are other continents beyond it... Is this world really that big?

“Hmm.” Lin Guaiji said, “The reason why the prison is so special is because it is a place shared by several continents and thousands of small worlds. It was sealed by a powerful being in ancient times. Only by opening the seal can one get out. But from ancient times to the present, no criminal has ever opened the seal. To this day, there is still only one way to get out.”

"Apply to the higher-ups?"

"Um."

Mo Shuwan turned her head and looked around again, raising an eyebrow and saying, "It seems this place has many stories to tell."

According to Lin Guaiji's explanation, the sinners here, including many from the worlds that imprisoned them, don't really know who is in charge of this prison. They say they apply to higher authorities, but they have no idea to whom the application will be passed on.

Of course, they didn't need to know. All they needed to know was that they had escaped the status of sinners, and that if they submitted their applications, there was a 99% chance they would be approved. As for the remaining 1%, who would care? They certainly wouldn't be that 1%.

However, the prison was simply too large. The group spent another five days searching for nothing, and the time limit for the magic artifact based on the law of time to expire was drawing ever closer. If they still couldn't find the entrance to the first level, the danger would be like a leech, and it would be difficult to shake it off completely and escape.

"This won't do; continuing the search will only be a waste of time."

Wen Zuo's voice broke the heavy atmosphere among them, and Mo Shuwan nodded in agreement, "You said last time that only a few sinners knew about the entrances between each floor. Now, it's probably easier for us to find those sinners who know where the entrances are than to find the entrances directly."

Lin Guaiji said helplessly, "I know, but I know that the guys at the entrance are too powerful. Even if we all work together, we can't possibly shake them in the slightest. Going to find them is no different from sending ourselves to our deaths."

Perhaps because he couldn't see any hope, the usually aloof Lin Guaiji had been talking more and more lately, as if he wanted to say everything he hadn't had a chance to say in his life.

"To hell with it, let's go find those monsters. If we keep wasting time like this, we'll all die anyway. We might as well take a gamble and see a glimmer of hope."

"Squeak?"

Zhou Quansheng glared at Xiwang and muttered under his breath, "I didn't call you!"

"Squeak!" Hope let out an angry howl.

Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo agreed with Zhou Quansheng's method, while Lin Guaiji did not express any opinion, which could be considered as tacit agreement.

When they set off again, their purpose had changed. They were no longer searching aimlessly, but instead began to travel in a direction. During the journey, Mo Shuwan couldn't help but touch her wrist. The pill that the mysterious woman in the burial ground had given her was still in her body. Even though she had encountered many dangers in the past year, she still hadn't used the pill.

First, she couldn't understand why the other party would suddenly appear and give her such a pill that was supposed to save her life. Second, she was also very suspicious of the other party's identity, since the place where they met was a burial ground. But in her heart, she was more inclined to believe that the other party was a good person.
