"Lord Prisoner, are we just going to let them go like that?"

In the cell of Wu Twelve, Wu Er spoke cautiously behind Chen Duo.

At this moment, Chen Duo was squatting on the ground, carefully examining the shackles that the fox demon had broken free from.

"If you don't let them leave, you'll write the report?"

Chen Duo put down the shackles in his hands, stood up, and squinted at the direction Su Wu and the others had left.

"This six-tailed fox demon was at least a Qi Condensation Demon who had recovered the strength of one tail, yet it was completely drained of its true Yin by this inexperienced young man from the Su family and died."

"What a spineless coward."

Wu Er, who was standing to the side, figured out the meaning behind Chen Duo's words and cautiously asked Chen Duo a question.

"Lord Prisoner, do you think this kid might have noticed something amiss?"

"The fox demon died after being drained of her true yin energy. Who knows, she might have revealed some information to him before she died."

At this point, Wu Er gestured with his hand towards his neck.

"Prison history, do you want a younger one...?"

Before Wu Er could finish speaking, Chen Duo interrupted him directly.

"Wu Er, look at you, you're in such a hurry again."

"To kill a fellow prisoner without authorization is a capital offense."

"Besides, nothing's been decided yet, so don't rush things."

At this moment, Chen Duo looked in the direction of the prison door and gently rubbed his fingers.

"When Su Wu presents his report tomorrow, summon him to my office."

"I'll test it myself."

"At the same time, you pick a tough criminal for him to take charge of."

"Some things don't require you to do them yourself."

Upon hearing Chen Duo's guidance, Wu Er's eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you for your guidance, prison clerk."

……

"Young Su, tell me in detail what exactly happened in that Twelfth Room of Wu!"

"Not a single detail can be missed!"

The moment he returned to the cell, Liu Dashan spoke to Su Wu, his breathing rapid.

Su Wu made no attempt to conceal anything and told Liu Dashan everything except for the Hundred Generations Book.

As Liu Dashan listened to Su Wu's description, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

Seeing Liu Dashan's expression, Su Wu also frowned.

"Uncle Liu, don't you also feel that something is wrong with this?"

"Also?" Hearing Su Wu's question, Liu Dashan perked up and looked at Su Wu.

"Looks like you've had this idea for a while. Tell me about it."

After a moment's thought, Su Wu revealed his idea.

"Uncle Liu, I find three things suspicious about what happened today."

"Oh?" After listening to Su Wu's opening remarks, Liu Dashan looked at Su Wu with even more admiration in his eyes.

"You actually managed to find three points of doubt. Tell me about them."

Su Wu then gave his account.

"Firstly, it is cultivation level."

"I have seen the file on this six-tailed fox demon. Before it was arrested and imprisoned, its cultivation had been destroyed and all six tails had been severed."

"But the fact that she has grown a tail today shows that she has secretly restored her cultivation while in prison."

"This might be the fox demon secretly accumulating power, but there's another possibility: someone is secretly helping her."

Listening to Su Wu's analysis, Liu Dashan nodded slightly.

"You're quick-witted, kid. Go on."

Su Wu continued speaking.

"Secondly, there are the shackles."

"The shackles and chains in the Demon Suppression Prison are all restricted. Even if that fox demon regains the strength of one tail, it wouldn't be able to break free of the shackles."

"There must be something fishy going on here."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan nodded in agreement.

"That's good. And what about the third one?"

"Thirdly..." Su Wu looked around and, seeing no one was around, lowered his voice and continued speaking to Liu Dashan.

"Thirdly, the timing is too coincidental; Chen Yushi and his men called you away, and I got into trouble right afterward."

"And they arrived right after you came looking for me, which doesn't seem like a coincidence."

"I wonder why Prison Secretary Chen and the others summoned you?"

When asked, Liu Dashan remained silent.

"Chen Duo and the others called me over because they needed to temporarily spare some manpower to escort a prisoner."

"Not only that, most of the guards in the entire cell were transferred out."

"This kind of official business is normal."

"But as you said, it all happened by such a coincidence."

"It just so happened that it happened right before I took you to the jail cell."

Liu Dashan paused at this point.

"Moreover, Chen Duo was too inflexible when I went to check the shackles."

"Such a big matter, and you just let us gloss over it like that."

"It feels like their goal is to get us to leave as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Su Wu looked at Liu Dashan with hesitation.

"But Uncle Liu, I'm a newbie who just joined, why are they targeting me?"

"Yes, why are they targeting you?" Liu Dashan gently stroked his chin and looked at Su Wu in front of him.

"It's very likely that they're not targeting you, but just trying to help that fox demon."

"No matter who it is, there's always a scapegoat."

"And you, the newcomer, are the best replacement."

After the analysis, Liu Dashan reached out and gently patted Su Wu on the shoulder.

"Whether it was an accident or not, when Chen Duo and the others ask tomorrow, just insist that you were in a daze when the fox demon was draining your yang energy and that you knew nothing about it."

"Don't reveal any of your previous speculations."

"In this cannibalistic world, don't believe anything anyone says."

Faced with Liu Dashan's concern, Su Wu nodded solemnly.

"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Liu."

Liu Dashan wanted to say something more, but then he heard the noise of other prison guards returning from their missions in the distance. He quickly composed himself and put on his usual smile.

The jailers greeted Su Wu with smiles as he entered the cell.

"Oh my, Boss Su's successor has arrived!"

"We've got a new member in our Wu-class team."

"This is a rare treat! Shall we grab a bite after I'm off duty?"

Su Wu greeted his former father Su Cheng's colleagues with a smile and quickly became friends with them.

These prison guards were mostly responsible for dozens of cells in cell block E. In addition to interrogating prisoners, they were also responsible for escorting new prisoners to cell block E.

However, aside from their duties, these prison guards are mostly quite idle.

The only drawback is the ten-day weekend; you can only take a day off on the 10th, 20th, and last day of each month (i.e., the first, middle, and last ten days of the month).

The rest of the time, he basically ate and slept in the Demon Suppression Prison.

Finally, after a brief period of getting acquainted, Su Wu was about to take his first official post in his life.

He arrived at the two's residence in the Demon Prison, led by Liu Dashan.

The Demon Prison's accommodations were two-person dorm rooms. After returning to the Demon Prison, Liu Dashan gave Su Wu a few simple instructions and then went straight to sleep, snoring away.

But Su Wu did not fall asleep.

He was waiting for the blood essence from his fox demon encyclopedia to be produced.

Finally, in my Hundred Lifetimes Book information section, the accumulated Blood Essence production reached one hundred points.

"That's enough blood essence!"

Having accumulated enough blood essence, Su Wu then added all of it to his cultivation level.

The next second, an inexplicable force surged into Su Wu's body, flowing continuously through his limbs and bones!
