522 He Is h.e.l.l (1)

Xu Qing was outside the 89th floor, looking at the p.a.w.n waiting there.

This p.a.w.n with a scar on his face had clearly received the decree and understood that Xu Qing would be taking up his post here. Hence, he crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, sizing Xu Qing up.

Although he had checked it when he was outside previously, at that time, he was examining as though he was looking at an outsider. Now, it was different. After he swept his gaze over, he looked at Xu Qing’s peerlessly handsome face.

“Kid, with such good looks, you’ll be at a disadvantage here. To those vicious criminals, your appearance isn’t intimidating enough and you will become the object of their mockery and ridicule.”

The middle-aged p.a.w.n still had a fake smile.

Xu Qing didn’t say anything. He lifted his head and looked at the p.a.w.n.

When he met Xu Qing’s gaze, the middle-aged p.a.w.n could see the calmness in Xu Qing’s eyes. He laughed.

“Interesting. Follow me.” The p.a.w.n pressed his back against the wall and stood up. In the dark Prison Department, they walked up the steps in circles.

When they pa.s.sed by the greenish-black cell doors everywhere, he would occasionally glance inside and curse a few times.

No matter how noisy the criminals in the cells were, they would instantly fall silent after the p.a.w.n cursed.

Xu Qing was pensive. He noticed that in the vast s.p.a.ce in each cell he pa.s.sed, there were hundreds of small cages containing all sorts of criminals from different races.

They had strange appearances and many of them weren’t humanoids. After Xu Qing’s gaze swept past the several cells, he even saw the Sea Corpse Race.

After observing the cells, Xu Qing retracted his gaze and looked at the pitch-black abyss below the stairs.

Waves of cold air rose from below, accompanied by deep roars.

“There’s no need to look. Below the 89th floor is Area C. That’s not a place you can go to, even I don’t have the qualifications.” The p.a.w.n at the front calmly spoke.

“This place used to be a ghost cave?” Xu Qing suddenly asked.

“You’ve quite some knowledge. That’s right, this place was indeed a ghost cave in the past. When the Prison Department was built, it was suppressed by someone from the Imperial City.”

“Hm?”

As the p.a.w.n spoke, his expression suddenly darkened. He kicked open the door of the cell at the side and walked in before slamming the door closed.

At this moment, the door became blurry and the inside couldn’t be seen clearly.

Xu Qing waited there with a calm expression.

A while later, the cell’s door opened. The middle-aged p.a.w.n smiled sinisterly as he wiped the blood on his face and walked out.

“Inside is a criminal from the Horned Merchant Race. It once slaughtered the small sect I was in. After I became a p.a.w.n, I applied for leave and went out to capture it. Every time I see it, I can’t help but go up and tidy it up. However, I have to be careful not to kill it; otherwise, I’ll have no fun in the future.”

Different from when he came, the p.a.w.n was clearly more relaxed now. After saying this to Xu Qing, he even whistled and continued forward.

Xu Qing’s gaze lingered on the cell. At that moment, it was completely silent, with a thick fog of blood permeating the air. Clearly, all of this wasn’t as simple as what the other party had said.

However, all of this was normal even in the Homicide Department back then. Xu Qing didn’t mind and continued to follow the other party.

On the way, Xu Qing saw even more p.a.w.ns. Most of them were in the cells. Clearly, they each had their own prison cells to guard and not many went out.

Different from when they came in, every time the middle-aged p.a.w.n saw a colleague, he would introduce them.

“A newbie is here.”

Every time they heard this, those p.a.w.ns who emitted an intense b.l.o.o.d.y and baleful aura would reveal looks of interest. After sizing up Xu Qing, some of them actually followed.

A while later, when Xu Qing was followed by more than 30 p.a.w.ns, someone urged.

“Old Li, it’s about time. We’re already in Area D17. There’s no point in going further. Everyone still has work to do, there’s no need to drag things out.”

The middle-aged p.a.w.n grinned and stopped in front of a cell.

“Alright, let’s do it here.”

As he spoke, he kicked open the cell door and waved at Xu Qing before walking in.

Xu Qing glanced at the 30-odd p.a.w.ns behind him.

All of these people’s eyes lit up like a pack of wolves in the night as they looked at him.

Xu Qing suddenly spoke.

“Are you guys gambling?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the p.a.w.ns started laughing.

“I’ll bet on myself.” Xu Qing took out a bag that contained about 100 spirit stones and placed it to the side.

He then walked into the cell.

“Interesting.” The dozens of p.a.w.ns outside looked at each other and became even more interested as they walked in one after another.

The moment Xu Qing stepped into the cell, his vision blurred. It was as though he had entered another s.p.a.ce and appeared in an empty s.p.a.ce. There were over a hundred huge cages surrounding him.

Some of the criminals inside were sinister, some were gloomy, some looked mischievous, and some had strange glints in their eyes. However, no one spoke. All of them were staring at Xu Qing and the p.a.w.ns.

The middle-aged p.a.w.n who was the first to enter swept his gaze across the surroundings.

“Your new toy is here. You’re lucky this time.”

“It’s up to your performance now. As usual, whoever tears off a piece of his flesh will be able to move freely in Area D17’s cell for the next month without being locked up and without fear of retaliation. That’s the rule.”
