Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Conversation in Eternal Hell (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

Hades Prison.

The most heavily guarded prison in the entire domain governed by Linjiang City, spanning 250,000 square kilometers.

Correct.

Brutal!

Since its establishment one hundred and seventy-two years ago, no one has ever escaped.

It ranks among the top five in terms of security across all prisons on Canglan Star.

It is hailed by industry experts as an "impenetrable dead zone."

The entire Hades Prison is deep underground, illuminated by fluorescent plants, its architectural structure derived from the Kushala Sutra and the Mahayana Meaning Chapter, with a total of eight levels.

Passing Hell, Black Rope Hell, Combined Hell, Crying Hell.

Screaming Hell, Hot Hell, Great Hot Hell, Eternal Hell.

Each level is clearly categorized according to the class and crimes of the prisoners held.

This place does not use electricity, relying solely on steam machinery.

The guard system here is independent, not following any organization in Linjiang City, and is directly controlled by the East Prosperity Imperial.

Prisoners here can only enter, never leave.

Its defense force.

Even if the entire Linjiang City combined forces, it couldn’t break in.

No organization in Linjiang City can influence the operation of the prison; any factors threatening the prison can be directly neutralized by the Prison Warden.

This is a power that stands above an entire city, as well as a shocking regulatory system.

Enough to show how dangerous the prisoners here are.

Sss... clank.

The entrance to Hades Prison, a bronze iron door eight meters high, slowly opens, steam engines within the walls roaring furiously, a large amount of white vapor rising, immediately absorbed by the walls.

"The massive magic energy steam device."

"Hades Prison truly is, even the door is controlled by steam power, with no trace of electricity."

Allen’s first real visit to Hades Prison.

The dark entrance behind the door seemed like a passage to hell.

"Sir Allen, please cooperate for a body search.

And please do not linger after going down.

The warden has only approved you thirty minutes, during which you cannot communicate with anyone except your target person, including us."

Behind him.

The prison guard captain clad in iron armor wore a serious expression.

"Sorry for the trouble."

Allen cooperatively raised his hands.

After a thorough search and various mental evaluations, along with all sorts of precautions, Allen was tightly escorted by a group of prison guards towards hell.

His target this time was on the eighth level of Hades Prison.

Eternal Hell.

The warden gave him thirty minutes.

But from the entrance down to the eighth level, passing through layer upon layer of checks and barriers, would take more than twenty minutes.

The time truly left for him was only a few minutes.

This was because he was the captain of the enforcement squad of the Steam and Machinery God Church, approved with signatures from the Anomaly Bureau General Office, Armed Forces General Pang Fei, and Linjiang City Affairs Department, allowing him to proceed.

In the darkness, there were no lights.

Only rows of fluorescent fruit trees provided faint light.

Allen arrived at the entrance to the eighth level.

The guards who came down with him did not enter, because the entire space of the eighth level was filled with suppression gas.

Suppression of spiritual qi.

Once the omnipresent spiritual qi in the air is suppressed, the blood qi power of martial artists and the extraordinary power of the Extraordinary will be suppressed to a pitiful level.

Over time, they might even become ordinary people.

This change is irreversible and can cause severe harm to the body.

Allen donned isolation protective clothing, carefully opened the door, and walked in alone.

Eight minutes left.

He arrived at his destination, in front of the No. 7 prison.

"Kazi Lanni, Grand High Priest of the Abyssal Ascetic Association, was captured during the disastrous Simulation Realm event at Linjiang Shelter three years ago, causing the sacrifice of 170,000 civilians, thousands of martial artists, and the Extraordinary, severely damaging two shelters in Linjiang.

It was then.

The Abyssal Ascetic Association was listed as a Level One dangerous secret organization by the Imperial.

Now it has been hunted down and scattered.

Allen stood with his hands in his trench coat, looking at that half-humanoid monster in the isolated prison.

Only half of his body had a human shape.

The other half was composed of fleshy tendrils, wiltingly drooping in the room.

The high concentration of suppression gas, along with the special prison structure, left only his consciousness active.

Hearing Allen’s words.

Kazi slowly raised his head, a glimmer of light in his lone eye: "What do you want with me?"

"I want to know the names of the remaining high priests, assistant priests, and members of the Abyssal Ascetic Association, as well as the names of the capitals supporting the Abyssal Ascetic Association’s activities from behind, and whether the Abyssal Ascetic Association has infiltrated the Imperial nobility.

I will propose to the warden to grant you a swift death when your research value is exhausted."

Allen threw out a bargaining chip.

Kazi did not respond.

Due to the suppression gas and being injected with all kinds of toxic experimental drugs, his thinking was not very fast.

It took a full minute.

He spoke hoarsely: "Ha, it seems Linjiang City’s state is bad, the captain of the Steam God’s children squad personally sought me out.

But I might not be able to give you the answers you want.

All of this is predestined.

Even if you catch them all and kill them, what’s the use?

Humans are fragile creatures.

To survive, to continue living, they found a more radical but viable way.

Humans can be killed, but ideas cannot.

Even if I tell you, you eradicate the entire Abyssal Ascetic Association, another ascetic order will arise.

Do you truly believe.

Your church, the military, the martial arts school, are on the right path?"

Allen’s face was icy, "What are you trying to say?"

Kazi’s half face gradually showed a smile: "Humans are merely insignificant creatures in this vast world. You won’t understand it now; when you truly do, you’ll realize, you’ll discover, we are the ones who are right."

Bang!

Allen punched the iron wall, "Over a hundred thousand sacrificed by blood rituals, resulting in Linjiang City losing two shelters consecutively, is this your so-called right? How utterly absurd."

Kazi’s expression didn’t change much, "Necessary sacrifices are inevitable. Leave it at that; Captain, you have other things to do, and I need rest.

Indeed.

If you manage to come in next time, perhaps I will tell you something that might interest you."

Allen’s face cold, he took a deep look at the monster in the cell.

After a moment.

He turned around and strode away.

Kazi leaned against the wall, his lone eye flickering with a turbid glow: "What harm is there in being a caged bird, compared to the crows in the sky...

But the days should be coming fast, how long can you hold on, righteous captain?"

What happened in Hades Prison was just a minor episode.

Now the focus of the entire Linjiang City is still on Linjiang First Middle School’s exchange classes.

After the annual exchange classes, a special training camp will be set up to allow students who perform well in the exchange classes to successfully enter the martial arts school they wish to join.

After all, the students’ martial exam scores are closely related to the performance of the entire city.

So all the big figures in Linjiang City are watching the state of Linjiang First Middle School.

Once they find students in the exchange classes who suit their interests, they will invest in them early.
