"Lin Hai, male, 26 years old, from Huadu, Huaxia. Convicted for intentionally harming others, causing significant negative impact on society, using brutal methods in crime, with no remorse and no accomplishments, defying the law. Now sentenced to life."

Just after being taken for a medical check-up, Cao Dan came over with a man wearing glasses.

These words were read aloud by the glasses man.

"Alright, I hope you take this time to reflect."

The glasses man swiftly turned and left, not bothering to waste another word on Lin Hai.

Lin Hai had his eyes wide open.

At this moment, his mind could only think "Holy sh*t."

Getting life for hitting someone? What kind of sh*t law is this?

"Heh heh, kid, you're gonna be stuck here for life this time," Cao Dan gloated.

"No biggie, you're stuck here too," Lin Hai retorted indifferently.

"Hmph, Lin, you think you can survive after offending the Cao Family?" Cao Dan snorted angrily.

Lin Hai rolled his eyes, "What? You plan to kill me here? Even if the Central Disciplinary Inspection Commission doesn't supervise this place, you still have higher levels overseeing, right?"

"There are overseeing bodies, but we have a quota of one hundred deaths every year here." Cao Dan squeezed his fist, revealing a nasty smile.

"What the hell! A hundred death quota? Damn!"

Lin Hai was struck dumb, this is sh*t crazy.

"This place is Huaxia's Heavenly Prison, dubbed Dragon Abyss. Even dragons sink never to rise here."

"Lin, you're really asking for it this time."

Cao Dan wore a face like a villain.

"Get him shaved, changed into prison uniform, and locked up!"

Cao Dan arrogantly waved his hand, gloating at Lin Hai's misery.

...

Ten minutes later, there was a clang.

The special metal prison door opened, and Lin Hai was shoved inside.

"Behave! The rules and regulations are on the wall, memorize them in a day. If you cause trouble, I won't hesitate to kill you."

The guard spoke coldly, eyes indifferent.

With a boom, the cell door shut again.

Lin Hai hugged his luggage, turned around, and found a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him.

"Seven First-class Experts, three Super First-class, huh? Why is there an ordinary person mixed here?"

Lin Hai identified the strength of this group of special prisoners at a glance.

But that old man with white hair, clearly just a regular guy, how could he survive in Area A?

"Another new arrival? What are you in here for?"

The one who spoke was surprisingly the ordinary person.

Lin Hai blinked, using his keen observation, he quickly noticed the prisoners here seemed afraid to approach that ordinary person.

"Intentionally harmed, beat a dog," Lin Hai answered.

"Oh? You go to prison for beating a dog? Is the outside world that dark now?" The white-haired old man was surprised.

"Uh... A dog with the surname Cao, it annoyed me so I got rid of it," Lin Hai was unsure how to explain as the elder's comprehension seemed skewed.

"Dogs have surnames?" The old man was even more surprised.

Lin Hai had a few black lines zooming across his head.

"Young man, what year is it now? The guards told me some time ago that the Soviet Union fell apart, is that true?"

The white-haired old man asked again.

Lin Hai's eyes instantly widened.

Sh*t, the Soviet Union collapsed many years ago, okay?

How long has the old man been imprisoned here?

"Elder, how old are you this year?" Lin Hai tentatively asked.

"Uh... I forgot. I started prison at thirty, remember that Huaxia just founded then."

The old man answered.

"..." Lin Hai was speechless beyond measure.

Locked up since Huaxia was founded? The elder should be in Guinness records.

Huaxia now celebrates 66 years, according to the elder, isn't he almost ninety-six years old?

"Young man, you haven't answered my question, did the Soviet Union really collapse?"

The old man asked once more.

"Uh, that was many years ago, now it's called Russia," Lin Hai replied.

"What year is it now?"

"2015."

"..." Now it was the elder's turn for silence.

"Elder, why were you locked in here?" Lin Hai blinked curiously asking.

"Oh me... for murder," the old man replied.

"Murder? And locked here?"

Being imprisoned in Heavenly Prison, definitely not ordinary people, clearly the old man's story isn't as simple as just murder.

"Elder, who did you murder?"

"Quite a few, around a few thousand," the old man responded calmly.

"..."

Lin Hai had black lines across his head in speechless disbelief.

Speaking so breezily, what's this about?

You, just an ordinary man, could kill so many?

"Alright young man, stay well here, I'm off for a stroll."

The old man stood, dusting off his azure robe.

All the prisoners hurriedly cleared a path, afraid to block the old man.

Lin Hai noted this detail carefully.

"Elder going out?"

"Old man, take care."

"Respectfully sending off the elder."

A group of Super First-class prisoners each wore a fawning smile with a hint of fear.

Lin Hai was once more shocked.

What identity does this old man have?

"Elder, how are you going out?"

"Walking out, I'm not a prisoner here; I live in Area A-3, drop by for tea anytime."

The old man patted Lin Hai's shoulder and then walked to the cell door.

Under Lin Hai's guidance, from his clothing pocket, the old man pulled out a thin wire, fiddling a bit inside the cell door, and click, it opened.

"Holy sh*t!"

"This is the seventy-two Club change encrypted door, regular techniques won't open it."

Lin Hai was floored by the elder's lock-picking skill.

Just like that? Got out?

The old man left, the door closed again.

"Bro, stop staring."

A voice sounded from behind Lin Hai.

"What's the deal with the old man?" Lin Hai asked.

"Shh, don't speak carelessly; the old man has a big background." The prisoner gestured to silence.

"Brother, what's your name?" Lin Hai asked, seeing the other seemed friendly.

"Haha, name's long forgotten, been locked up here for thirty years, everyone calls me Wang Ergun; Ergun is fine."

"Ergun... quite a unique name," Lin Hai responded speechlessly.

"Brother, what's your name?"

"I am Lin Hai, Lin as in forest, Hai as in sea."

Looks like Ergun is merely a First-class Expert, not a pivotal figure in the cell.

Ergun chuckled, "No worries, our cell's a harmonious one, no bullying."

"..."

Harmonious, why does it feel like a train?

"Ergun brother, what's really up with the old man? Can just move in and out at will."

"Heh heh, the old man has a big background; when Heavenly Prison first built, he was part of the first batch locked up," Ergun explained.

Lin Hai nodded, sitting 66 years, the elder does seem a prison veteran.

"So he's in here for murder?"

"Heh, bro, I see you have some skill, you must think the elder is just an ordinary person?" Ergun smiled asking.

Lin Hai nodded.

"Then you're mistaken, the elder can instantly handle a Legendary expert. Hey, you know what a Legendary is?"
