"Did you hear? The Water Ghost King confessed."
"Which Water Ghost King? Don't we have three Water Ghosts locked up in our prison? The new one who kept shouting about having a Squirtle?"
"No, it's Water Ghost King Wu Cheng. He confessed, and he even revealed the location of the hidden treasure."
"Holy crap, is that true? It's been over ten years. Did he finally break? Who made Wu Cheng confess? The warden? Or the deputy warden? Or the interrogation team leader?"
"None of them. It was Zhang Wei, the one who came to visit our prison."
As the person spoke, they recounted how Zhang Wei made Water Ghost King Wu Cheng confess in 15 minutes.
The other person: "???"
The next second.
The other person exclaimed in shock:
"Holy crap, how did he do that? I heard he made a man spend 800,000 yuan on me in three minutes. Can interrogation do that too?"
Similar situations unfolded at the Weidao司 prison. Everyone who heard the news was stunned and eager to meet this 'Bao Gong'.
Meanwhile.
Zhang Wei was unaware of the events at the Weidao司 prison. Not long after Water Ghost King Wu Cheng was taken for interrogation, Sun Jianyun led him towards the fourth underground level.
At this moment.
They were walking down the stairs of the fourth underground level.
Because the fourth underground level housed legendary criminals, they were absolutely forbidden from seeing daylight again. To prevent their escape, the fourth underground level was separated from the other three levels, connected by a passage and then a staircase. No one knew how long the staircase was or which direction it led. 138 Reading Network.
"The fourth underground level is very deep, located thousands of meters underground, and actually quite far from the villages above..."
Sun Jianyun introduced to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei nodded:
"Speaking of which, Warden Sun, may I ask presumptuously, besides the Fengmen Zombie, how many other inmates are held on the fourth underground level?"
"Not many. Since we only house legendary criminals, from the founding of the country to the present, there are about 20 in total."
Sun Jianyun replied.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but look at his system panel, at a countdown item.
[Skill Card Duration Countdown Started: 23 hours 40 minutes 02 seconds]
Seeing this.
Zhang Wei spoke:
"Warden Sun, since I'm here on the fourth underground level, can I see all the inmates here? I'm very curious about who is imprisoned here."
As soon as he said this.
Sun Jianyun was initially stunned. Before, he might have refused, as excessive contact with legendary criminals was not advisable. After all, anyone called 'legendary' was terrifying and cruel, and many were skilled manipulators. What if Zhang Wei was subtly influenced and led astray?
However, after the incident with Water Ghost King Wu Cheng, Sun Jianyun did not refuse Zhang Wei's request. He was eager to build a good relationship with Zhang Wei, even thinking of recruiting Zhang Wei into the Weidao司 prison. Now that Zhang Wei made a request, he was naturally willing, as it would help in winning him over.
As for whether Zhang Wei would be manipulated, Sun Jianyun was not worried. It was a joke; if he could handle Water Ghost King in 15 minutes, perhaps the legendary criminals would be the ones being manipulated.
"No problem. Since I'm taking you to tour the fourth underground level anyway, letting you see the inmates is fine. However, you must be careful. Some criminals are very good at luring people. Don't let yourself be psychologically misled."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Warden Sun."
Zhang Wei expressed his gratitude.
At this moment.
The staircase in front of them reached its end, and a vast, dim space appeared before Zhang Wei's eyes.
The space was large, with only a single dim light hanging overhead. The surroundings were lined with cell doors, which were very secure. Only a half-person-wide iron grate was exposed, allowing a view into the cells.
At this moment.
Zhang Wei could feel the grinding of gears as the main gate to the cells opened. Pairs of eyes turned towards them, peering through the cell doors.
"A rare guest, indeed a rare guest. What wind blew you here today, Sun Jianyun?"
"Hmm? And who is this little brat accompanying you?"
"That little brat next to you looks quite handsome. I'm so craving. Sun Jianyun, send over that handsome little brat next to you, let this old lady have some fun."
Voices rose and fell from the cells.
In response.
Zhang Wei ignored them, his attention focused on the strength of these inmates.
From the aura they exuded, Zhang Wei understood why they were called 'legendary criminals'. Each one was at the Ghost King level, and not just any Ghost King, but possessing strength comparable to his own. Several even gave him a sense of palpitations.
Clearly.
Several of these criminals were top-tier Ghost Kings.
"If the Senluo Division knew about this place, they'd probably be ecstatic. Recruiting these inmates into the Senluo Division, each one could be a high-ranking official."
Zhang Wei muttered to himself.
At the same time.
Facing the inmates' taunts, Sun Jianyun merely snorted. An unparalleled, formidable aura erupted from him. Even though it wasn't directed at Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei could feel the terrifying power. He had only felt such power from Old Man Willow before.
"All of you, shut up. If you want to be subjected to the trial by fire, just say so."
Sun Jianyun's aged voice echoed.
Instantly.
The noisy fourth underground level fell silent, followed by a series of cold snorts from the inmates in their cells:
"Sun Jianyun, don't get cocky. If I ever get out, I'll make you pay."
Sun Jianyun, however, was unfazed. He turned and said:
"Zhang Wei, all the inmates on the fourth underground level are here. Don't pay attention to their words; they're just a bunch of trash who have been locked up for too long. I'll take you to the Fengmen Zombie."
As he spoke.
To prevent the inmates from speaking disrespectfully and tarnishing his prison's reputation, Sun Jianyun waved his hand casually. A series of silencing talismans flew out, accurately sticking to the center of each cell door, isolating all sound from within. Then, he led Zhang Wei towards a specific cell.
"The Fengmen Zombie is locked up in here."
Sun Jianyun opened the window of that cell, allowing the scene inside to be seen.
At this moment.
Through the window, despite the dim lighting on the fourth underground level, Zhang Wei could see the scene within the cell.
Unlike the other cells, which had emitted sounds when they entered, this cell was an exception. It was deathly silent. If it weren't for the mention that a Fengmen Zombie was imprisoned there, one would assume the cell was empty.
"Is that the legendary Fengmen Zombie?"
Zhang Wei looked at the figure inside, his eyes flickering, and whispered to himself.
At the same time.
As if sensing Zhang Wei's gaze, the figure inside the cell also slightly raised its head the moment Zhang Wei looked.
For a moment.
Their eyes met.
