Chapter Thirteen: Sensory Consciousness

  After understanding this point clearly, Ye Feng's mood would naturally be somewhat disappointed, but soon Ye Feng encouraged himself to have confidence, to muster up his energy, and to calm down.

  Eight hundred souls may seem like a lot, but eventually there will be enough accumulation. According to Ye Feng's previous experience, even if he collects an average of ten souls per day, after eighty days, he can collect eight hundred souls.

  Is eighty days a long time? It's just the length of a small project, anyway. In the past when he was working as a laborer, eighty days of hard work under the scorching sun on a construction site was nothing to him, let alone now that he is living in a relatively comfortable detention center.

  The detention center lacks nothing but freedom, yet time is abundant.

  And waiting for the first trial also takes some time, even if he still hasn't collected enough soul value at the end of the first trial and is sentenced, can't he appeal? Isn't there that beautiful lawyer Qin Yan helping him to get more time?

  So Ye Feng didn't need to be anxious at all, after all, time was in his hands.

  Ye Feng made up his mind to make the most of the time difference between the space and reality. Here, three days were equivalent to one day in reality. Even if Ye Feng could only use a few hours of sleep at night to enter the space, he had enough time to cultivate inside.

  Without the bonus of soul value, Ye Feng can still use the high platform in the second layer tower for normal cultivation. Although the speed will be slower, with daily accumulation and perseverance, he can also slowly push forward his cultivation progress. As one advances, the other retreats, and the normal cultivation progress will offset the four-value bonus progress. Therefore, the eighty-day accumulation of eight hundred soul spirits will certainly decrease accordingly.

  Ye Feng looked at the time and cultivated for a while longer. When he felt that the real world's time was almost six o'clock, Ye Feng's consciousness finally left the space and returned to his physical body in the real world.

  Still, there is no discomfort at all, and the feeling is even more refreshing than after washing the marrow last time. Ye Feng's vision and hearing have been improved, he can clearly see everything in the cell, and can also hear the breathing sounds of everyone in the cell with different degrees of lightness and heaviness. This feeling is quite wonderful, all objects in the cell are like high-definition pictures taken by an auto-focus camera, and the mild myopia caused by studying before has completely disappeared.

  What made Ye Feng even more excited was that he, who had already possessed a preliminary spiritual consciousness, could completely perceive everything around him through his mind, although the range of this perception was still very small at present.

  Even with his eyes closed, Ye Feng could clearly perceive all the people, objects, and even plants and insects within a 20-meter radius around him in his consciousness.

  This feeling is not like a fairy, but it's like a fairy, and nothing can be more wonderful than this.

  Ye Feng continued to perceive everything around him with his divine sense like a curious child, until the alarm clock rang and everyone got up, then he withdrew his divine sense.

  Now Ye Feng only feels a little tired, it seems that launching his divine sense has some impact on his mental strength, but the extent of this impact should not be too great, completely within his tolerance.

  A new day of life in the detention center has begun, eating breakfast, reciting prison rules, listening to lectures, sitting on a wooden board, and half a morning has passed like this.

  Although it's a pity to waste time on cultivation, the reality is such that Ye Feng can only be helpless.

  The detention center does not have an afternoon nap, but in the afternoon there is a period of time to go to the exercise yard for free activities. Ye Feng's mood was good today, and he also followed the crowd to the exercise yard.

  After entering the detention center, Ye Feng had been to the exercise yard twice. Today was his third time. In the first two times, Ye Feng didn't have the mood to observe what kind of people were in the exercise yard. He just squatted in a corner of the exercise yard, sensing the souls that floated around and drifted away.

  But today, Ye Feng was in a good mood and decided to relax himself by strolling around this medium-sized square.

  It's called a exercise yard, but in fact it's just a place where you can breathe natural air. Compared to the stuffiness and oppression of the cell, most people are still very happy to come to the exercise yard.

  The exercise yard of the detention center is divided into groups, with three groups sharing one exercise yard. The so-called group refers to the alias of the cell, and a cell is actually a group.

  The cell where Ye Feng is located has a total of twenty-two people, which is the largest group among the three groups sharing the exercise yard, and the other two groups add up to only twenty-five people.

  There is a basketball hoop in the windbreak area, as well as all other fitness and entertainment facilities, just like those in the park, but most people are not in the mood for entertainment, instead gathering in threes and fives to smoke, chat idly, brag and boast.

  Ye Feng and his group were no exception, with only Ye Feng himself wandering around. Given the previous "violent and bloody" incident, no one dared to come over and disturb Ye Feng, and Ye Feng was also happy and carefree.

  However, there was one exception, and that was the thief suspect named Wang Hailong who had previously taken the initiative to befriend Ye Feng.

  Wang Hailong was also a new ghost, only a few months earlier than Ye Feng. According to what he had been saying in Ye Feng's ear all along, he was the most unlucky of all the new ghosts. He was young, had no background outside, and was an orphan. After entering, he had no money to take care of himself and was a pure "public rice eater". Therefore, many people looked down on him, and many old ghosts, in addition to regularly beating him, would also regularly order him around like a slave.

  So after Ye Feng first established his dominance in the cell, he took the initiative to get close to Ye Feng, and it seemed that the effect was not bad, at least during this period of time, those old ghosts did not dare to bully him again.

  But today, Wang Hailong looked gloomy in front of Ye Feng, without his usual carefree smile. He seemed to want to say something to Ye Feng several times, but each time he approached him, he retreated again.

  Ye Feng walked in front, he followed behind, not saying a word, just constantly sighing.

  Ye Feng was getting impatient, turned around and looked at him, directly asking: "What's your business? Either say it straight or leave me alone, don't keep following me like a fly."

  Yan Feng's serious tone made Wang Hailong hesitate no longer, and he said: "Brother Ye, actually I...I have something I want to ask for your help?"

  "What do you want me to help you with? Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."

  Actually, among all the new and old ghosts in the detention house, Ye Feng's impression of Wang Hailong was still quite good. He was only in his early twenties, two years younger than Ye Feng, and an orphan with no parents. He had been lured into becoming a thief and was caught for the first time, and according to Wang Hailong himself, he hadn't even succeeded in stealing anything, let alone sharing the loot. He was just responsible for keeping watch during the gang's operation, but he was unlucky and was sold out by the gang leader. The gang leader tricked him into going out to buy food, and when he came back, the whole room was empty. When he realized something was wrong and wanted to leave, the police had already arrived.

  The whole gang was caught, only him, and more tragically, as a newcomer, he didn't know the gang members at all, couldn't provide effective testimony and assistance to the police, let alone make any meritorious performance, so he ended up coming in.

  If what he told Yefeng was true, then in essence, he was much better than those old devils who came here because of fraud, robbery and rape.

  So Ye Feng asked him patiently what was wrong.

  "Hey Ye Ge, didn't two old guys just get taken away from our cell yesterday? After the two spots were vacated, the police brought over another guy from a different group. His name is Zhang Dalu, he's got great kung fu skills and is very strong, his hands are extremely ruthless. He used to be a butcher at a slaughterhouse, I heard his knife skills are top-notch, so people on the outside call him 'Knife Brother'. A while back, I heard he was arrested for severely injuring two people in a fight and was assigned to another group, but I never thought that just a few days later, the police would assign him to our group."

  Ye Feng was somewhat puzzled, what's the point of this so-called Knife Brother coming, he didn't even know him, why did Wang Hailong tell him to do this?

  At this time, Wang Hailong leaned in closer to Ye Feng and said in a low voice: "Brother Ye, don't laugh at me, I have a grudge against this Knife Brother outside. He's my love rival, and he has a lover who is secretly related to me... the relationship is very good. Once, I was with this woman in a hotel room, just after we finished, I hadn't even put on my clothes yet, when Knife Brother suddenly appeared out of nowhere and caught me off guard. In a panic, I jumped out of the second-floor window of the hotel and almost broke my leg. After that, Knife Brother spread the word in Xiapu District that if anyone could catch me and bring me to him, he would give them 50,000 yuan. So, I was forced into a corner with no way out and had to join Old Wolf's thieving gang. Since Old Wolf has more influence in Xiapu District, even Knife Brother didn't dare to mess with him easily. That's why I followed Old Wolf and mixed with the gang. Knife Brother couldn't do anything to me anymore... but I never thought that I could avoid him on New Year's Day, but not on the 15th day of the new year! How did he end up in our group?! And it just so happens that we're in the same group now. So, Brother Ye, please help me out. With your influence in our group, even if Knife Brother is ruthless outside, once you say a word for me, he won't dare to do anything to me. If you just tell him I'm your man, he'll definitely back off."

  Wang Hailong talked a lot, but in the end, it all boiled down to one thing: he thought Ye Feng was very powerful, so he wanted to use Ye Feng as a shield.
