#174 - Chapter 174 Prison No. 4
The trainees sitting near the entrance of the shed stood up quickly like frightened birds, shrinking back inside.
Zhou Qinshu tightened his clothes: "It's really... in the middle of the night."
His voice stopped abruptly, his pupils shrinking suddenly.
In the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, pairs of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared on both sides of the road, their gazes moving with the truck.
The trainees who saw this scene felt a chill all over their bodies, and couldn't help but shiver.
"Li... Brother Li, is... is this a Revived Beast?" Zhou Qinshu stammered.
Li Chenqiu didn't respond to Zhou Qinshu, but raised his left arm and甩 it猛地一甩, black mist窜出来 from his palm, extending outside the shed, turning into four-meter-long Ember.
The flickering blood-colored纹路 on the scythe blade were like blood vessels connected to the heart, full of vitality, yet also deathly silent.
At the same time, those pairs of blood eyes began to dart through the mountains and forests on both sides of the road.
Rustle——
The grass and trees swayed, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
The crowd was frightened and at a loss, and the timid ones were even a little unsteady on their feet.
"Are you kidding me? So many Revived Beasts?!"
"Teacher Gao, there are Revived..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Ember, held in Li Chenqiu's hand, trembled slightly.
Roar!!!
A beast roar like a torrent erupted from Ember, and the visible sound waves and狂风 were companions, brutally pouncing on the兽群.
"Oh~"
"Awoo~"
Those Revived Beasts seemed to be scared out of their wits, making sounds close to begging for mercy, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
The surroundings fell into darkness and silence again.
Li Chenqiu moved his mind, turning Ember into a ring, calmly wearing it on his finger, and said in a deep voice without raising his head: "Sit down, if they're going to eat someone, they'll eat me first, what are you afraid of?"
The crowd stood in place for a few seconds before gradually returning to their senses, and sat back in their original positions somewhat restrained, and the car suddenly became much quieter.
Although Li Xuan's roar was not directed at them, there was definitely some fright, after all, a beast roar comparable to the strength of a six-禁, how could a group of one or two-禁天命者 not be afraid?
For a time, the trainees' eyes towards Li Chenqiu had some subtle changes, with timidity, surprise, envy, greed...
......
......
Because this highway leads directly to this 天命者 prison, the truck only drove for less than an hour in the dark before arriving at its destination.
Dozens of orange-yellow beams of light shot down from the high altitude, constantly moving in the dark mountains and forests, guarding against the Revived Beasts hiding in the dark.
A thirty-meter-high black iron wall stood at the end of the highway, cutting off the dense mountains and forests like a knife, clearly dividing the boundary between humans and beasts.
The words "No. 4 Prison" were engraved on the city wall, telling the name of this place.
At the main entrance of the prison, nearly a hundred prison guards wearing black and gray uniforms stood neatly together, with their hands behind their backs, looking ahead.
In front of these prison guards, a middle-aged man of medium stature and ordinary appearance stood quietly, watching the truck in the distance.
This man's name was Ji Min, the current warden of No. 4 Prison, and also a former student of the War Academy, a powerful seven-禁天命者.
嚓——
Accompanied by a burst of harsh braking sound, the truck stopped steadily in front of Ji Min.
Gao Fushuai and others took the lead in getting off the truck.
Ji Min greeted them with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard on the journey."
Gao Fushuai waved his hand and said politely: "It's our duty, it's not hard, but it's kept Warden Ji waiting for a long time."
Ji Min said indifferently: "A few hours is nothing, how can it be called a long wait, you're being too polite."
Bai Hong stepped forward and shook Ji Min's hand: "A total of sixty-nine people, I'll have to trouble you this time, if you need any help, just contact me directly."
......
After explaining the matter, Gao Fushuai and others drove the truck back the way they came, leaving the trainees at the prison gate.
Seeing the truck completely disappear into the night, the smile on Ji Min's face disappeared visibly.
"Tch!"
Ji Min spat the chewing gum in his mouth on the ground and waved to the back: "Su Li, come here."
A young man heard the words and hurriedly ran to Ji Min's side, and said diligently with a smile: "Warden, what are your orders?"
"Ah~" Ji Min yawned, pointed to Li Chenqiu and others and said: "Arrange them to your third district, you should know the rules, right?"
"Understood, I will definitely arrange it properly." Su Li stretched out his hand and made an "OK" gesture.
"Well, work hard." Ji Min patted Su Li on the shoulder and turned to look at the students.
He glanced at them roughly, and shouted: "Is there someone among you named Li Chenqiu, who is it, stand out and let me take a look."
As soon as these words came out, everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction of Li Chenqiu.
"Hey, are you going to be taken care of so soon!" Xiang Nanzhi nudged Li Chenqiu with his elbow.
Li Chenqiu glanced at Xiang Nanzhi speechlessly, stepped forward to the front, and looked at Ji Min calmly.
Ji Min narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Chenqiu from head to toe: "He looks pretty good."
"Is there anything you need from me?" Li Chenqiu asked.
"Nothing, I'm just curious about you, I wanted to call you out to take a look." Ji Min grinned: "I've seen a lot of news about you on the Internet, I heard you have a Spirit Profound Artifact?"
The prison guards heard this and looked at Li Chenqiu curiously.
"Yes." Li Chenqiu nodded.
"What a promising future, A-level ability and a Spirit Profound Artifact, I'm so envious!" Ji Min sighed, then waved to Li Chenqiu: "Go back!"
Li Chenqiu glanced at Ji Min inexplicably, then walked back to his position.
Xiang Nanzhi put his face closer: "Alas, it's really disappointing, I thought you could be taken care of, now it seems that I overestimated your charm!"
"Why did this person call me out?" Li Chenqiu asked in a low voice.
Xiang Nanzhi said speechlessly: "Didn't I tell you, he's just curious about you, why are you so worried?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes: "I think he's more curious about my Spirit Profound Artifact!"
He could sense that when the other party was looking at him, his gaze briefly stayed on Ember for a while.
After Li Chenqiu returned to the team, Ji Min stepped forward to the crowd and said:
"I am Ji Min, the warden of this prison. You will soon enter the prison behind me as prisoners. I will not treat you differently because of your identities.
Whatever rules the prisoners follow, you will follow. Whatever places the prisoners live in, you will live in. Whatever food the prisoners eat, you will eat. Do you have any questions?"
No one responded.
Ji Min shouted sternly: "Are you mute, can't you hear me talking?!"
"No questions."
The crowd shouted in unison.
