On his way back from cell 12, Su Wu kept thinking about how to break the deadlock.

If I follow the original timeline, I'll inevitably be called by Wu Er to guard cell number T tomorrow.

At that time, the risks were still enormous.

Even if he could have anticipated Li Hong's backstab, the bull demon was fierce, and he wasn't confident he could escape unscathed.

"The key to breaking the deadlock wasn't in cell T, but before that."

How can I avoid going to this T-number?

Su Wu recalled Wu Er's original words telling him and Liu Dashan to leave, and began to look for an opportunity to break the deadlock.

Soon, Su Wu found a solution.

"Wu Er called us to take up our posts simply because we had finished our shifts and were resting the day before, and it was just time for us to start work the next day."

"But what if I don't hand over the shift today?"

"Then Wu Er and the others won't have a reason to ask us to switch to the D-class shift!"

If Wu Er and his gang wanted to scheme against them, they had to take advantage of the time that the jailers of the Ding-class prison guards spent escorting prisoners.

Otherwise, firstly, the reason is not valid enough, and secondly, there are too many people, making it difficult to have a chance to take action.

With so many prison guards, if the bull demon were allowed to escape, the resulting casualties would be beyond Chen Duo's control.

He dared not risk bearing the blame for the loss of so many lives.

Having thought of this, Su Wu quickly devised his plan.

"When it's our turn to hand over the shift, I won't do it."

"Our shift will be until tomorrow night, so Chen Duo and the others won't have a chance!"

He possessed the Hundred Generations Record, and as long as he could survive and improve his martial arts skills, he would not fear Chen Duo!

After some thought, Su Wu followed Liu Dashan back to cell number E and mingled with the jailers who were escorting the prisoners back.

Then, to Su Wu's anticipation, his first official appointment arrived.

"Su boy, let's go!"

Seeing that it was time to leave the government office, Liu Dashan pulled Su Wu up and prepared to get up and leave.

However, at this moment, Su Wu broke free from Liu Dashan and spoke to one of the jailers who was changing shifts.

"Brother, I am Su Wu, the new jailer."

"Since it's only the first day, I'd like to get more familiar with the place. How about we switch shifts?"

When Su Wu asked the question, the jailer who came to relieve him was taken aback for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"You mean you want to switch from day shifts to night shifts?"

No one wanted to stay up all night, so when the jailer heard that Su Wu wanted to switch shifts with him, he was naturally happy to agree.

"OK!"

"Since Brother Su wants to change, then let's change it."

Liu Dashan, standing to the side, was visibly taken aback by Su Wu's actions.

"Hey kid, what do you think you're doing?"

"Why not take a proper rest instead of causing all this trouble?"

Su Wu smiled broadly as he answered Liu Dashan's question.

"It's alright, Uncle Liu. I just want to get more familiar with things so I can get up to speed as soon as possible and shine in the Demon Suppression Prison."

Hearing Su Wu's insightful remarks, even Liu Dashan was taken aback.

"you……"

He then sighed somewhat helplessly.

"Never mind, it's not a bad thing if you're familiar with it too much."

At this point, Liu Dashan looked at another prison guard who was changing shifts.

"Well, Su is a bit clumsy, I'll take care of him."

"Let's switch shifts."

At this point, Liu Dashan took out two copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the jailer.

However, in response to Liu Dashan's actions, the jailer quickly dodged and looked at Liu Dashan with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Liu, we're all old acquaintances from the Wu-class, why are we doing this?"

"Besides, we'd love to switch from night shift to day shift. We're already being lenient by not paying you; how could we possibly take your money?"

At this point, the jailer pulled up his partner who had just relieved Su Wu and greeted his other colleagues.

"Thank you all for your hard work. We'll head out now and catch up on some sleep when we get back!"

After saying that, the two turned and left.

Su Wu also greeted the remaining jailers.

"Hello, my name is Su Wu..."

"We know, we know, he's Su Tou's son." Before Su Wu could finish speaking, the jailers of the Demon Suppression Prison patted Su Wu on the shoulder with smiles on their faces.

"We all went to pay our respects to Su before he passed away, and we saw him."

"That's right, Director Su has always treated everyone very well. We're all family here!"

However, upon hearing the words of these jailers, Su Wu couldn't help but tremble.

After being betrayed by Li Hong, Su Wu always had some doubts about the word "friendship".

However, seeing how familiar Liu Dashan was with the prison guards, Su Wu gradually lowered his guard.

Through their interactions across these two lifetimes, Liu Dashan was arguably the person Su Wu trusted most in the Demon Suppression Prison.

After Liu Dashan led Su Wu to greet everyone, he took the opportunity to pull Su Wu aside.

He frowned and asked Su Wu a question.

"Young Su, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Why the sudden request for a shift change?"

When Liu Dashan asked him the question, Su Wu did not tell him the truth.

I can't exactly say that I want to change my fate because I was killed by Li Hong in my previous life, can I?

He simply presented the speech he had prepared in advance.

"Uncle Liu, as I said, I want to get to know him better."

"It's good to get familiar with it beforehand so you can get on track quickly, right?"

Upon hearing Su Wu's reply, Liu Dashan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Su Wu.

"You little rascal, you're just curious, aren't you?"

"Work is important, but health is more important."

"Staying up late damages your energy and spirit. Your health wasn't good to begin with, and if this continues, your body will become deficient, and what will happen then?"

"How am I supposed to explain this to your deceased father then?"

Faced with Liu Dashan's concern, Su Wu scratched the back of his head guiltily.

"Okay, okay."

"I was just curious."

"Just this once, and don't let it happen again."

Hearing Su Wu's reply, Liu Dashan's expression softened.

"Remember what you said."

Just this once.

"Alright, since you've decided to stay, I'll take you on patrol now."

Su Wu accepted Liu Dashan's invitation and began patrolling with him.

Because the Demon Prison is perpetually dark, the Demon Prison at night is not significantly different from the Demon Prison during the day.

Perhaps it's related to the yin and yang energies between heaven and earth, but the yin and cold energy in the Demon Suppression Prison felt noticeably stronger at night.

Because some demons are active at night, low growls of demons could even be heard coming from some of the cells.

However, Su Wu, who had experienced several life-or-death crises, remained remarkably calm in the face of these strange occurrences of demons.

Even the bull demon who broke the ban with a Ding-level seal has faced it head-on, so why should we be afraid of these small demons who are locked up with a Wu-level seal?

Watching Su Wu's performance, Liu Dashan's face was full of admiration.

"You're calm and collected; you seem born to be a jailer."

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Liu." Su Wu replied with a smile in response to Liu Dashan's praise.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked Liu Dashan.

"By the way, Uncle Liu, what methods are there for us prison guards of the Demon Prison to cultivate martial arts?"
