Chapter Ten Unexpected Event

  New Book Recommendation:

  Ye Feng's bed was laid out in the innermost part next to the toilet, and the smell wasn't very good. It seemed that this was also one of the "treatments" for new ghosts.

  However, a young-looking bespectacled man soon walked up to Ye Feng with a smile all over his face and said very politely: "Brother Ye, may I call you Brother Ye? My name is Wang Hailong, a local. I was put in here for theft. How about this, Brother Ye? Let's swap beds. The smell here isn't very good. You've just arrived and aren't used to it yet, but I'm fine. I've been in here for several months already and have gotten accustomed to it."

  Ye Feng knew that this young man named Wang Hailong was treating him like this because of his previous performance, which had "shocked" everyone. In a place where only fist strength mattered, someone with "super strong" skills like him would inevitably become the object of their fawning and flattery.

  However, Ye Feng would not take his kindness to heart, nor would he accept it personally. After years of working and living with all sorts of foot odor and sweat stench, Ye Feng was completely unbothered by the smell, so he just smiled and said: "No need, I'm also very used to this kind of smell."

  Wang Hailong's face suddenly fell, and Ye Feng's attitude made his show of goodwill somewhat embarrassing. He forced a smile and said, "Alright, Brother Ye, if there's anything you need my help with in the future, just let me know. You've just arrived, so you may not be familiar with many of the rules yet. I'll fill you in on everything later."

  Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "Thanks."

  Waiting for him to leave, Ye Feng lay on the bed, staring at the mottled ceiling, with thoughts swirling in his mind.

  Firstly, Ye Feng felt that he was different from the people in the detention center. He wasn't a real suspect. Secondly, for him, whether or not he could leave depended on his own efforts to collect souls. Lastly, because he had stepped into the realm of cultivation and possessed certain abilities, even if he had to stay in this chaotic place for a while, he could guarantee his own safety. At least within this cell, there weren't many people who dared to provoke him easily.

  But there were exceptions. After he "unleashed his divine power" earlier, most people felt afraid, but he found that a few people's eyes and expressions looked very defiant. Ye Feng guessed that these few people were probably the former bosses of this cell.

  Ye Feng decided that from now on, if they didn't provoke him, he definitely wouldn't take the initiative to provoke them. If they looked for trouble with him, then he wouldn't mind beating them up again either.

  With the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind sorted out, the most important thing for Ye Feng to do next was to collect souls. However, there was a catch - collecting souls required intense mental focus, and with many people around him in the detention room, Ye Feng couldn't guarantee that someone wouldn't take advantage of him while he was focused on collecting souls. According to the law's prompt, with his current abilities, he still couldn't multitask while collecting souls, and if there were any external disturbances, it could cause a backlash, resulting in him falling into a coma for several days. If things got worse, it could even cause significant harm to his body and mind. In that case, the Nine Star Pearl would automatically pull his body into its space for repair, which meant his biggest secret might be exposed to everyone. The consequences of him suddenly disappearing were unimaginable.

  After careful consideration, Ye Feng decided to avoid collecting souls during the day as much as possible and instead focus on familiarizing himself with and training his sensitivity to souls. At night, he would concentrate his mind and collect souls.

  In the following days, Ye Feng spent his days reciting prison rules, listening to lectures, doing chores and exercising his spiritual senses whenever he had a chance. At night, he concentrated on collecting souls.

  By the sixth day, Ye Feng had collected a total of twenty-eight souls, and this progress was really not fast, which also made Ye Feng feel a little anxious.

  After several days of understanding, plus Wang Hailong's occasional initiative to tell Ye Feng about some basic common sense and rules in the detention center, Ye Feng knew that the detention center was divided into two parts: criminal detention group and arrest group. The former belonged to temporary detention, which could be bailed out for trial, while he belonged to the latter, which could not be bailed out for trial. He can only wait passively now, waiting for pre-trial, inspection, meeting with a lawyer, trial, appeal, final judgment, and as for how long this waiting process will take, it depends on the progress of his case. However, Ye Feng believes that this time will not be too long, because he is convinced that Liu Yong must want his case to be tried as soon as possible, wants him to die as soon as possible, so Liu Yong will definitely try every means to make his case go to trial as soon as possible.

  Ye Feng, although a suspect in a murder case, has not yet been tried and is therefore being held as an unconvicted prisoner in the detention center. If he is formally sentenced to death after the first trial, he will be transferred to a special cell for death row inmates.

  The life in the detention center is very regular, waking up at 6:00 am, having breakfast around 6:30 am. The logistics staff will push a cart to the corridor outside the cell and distribute meals in groups. Generally, it's porridge, steamed buns, and pickled vegetables for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, if you have money, you can buy dishes sold by the detention center; otherwise, you can only eat rice and soup. The so-called "soup" is actually just a bowl of salty broth with a few pieces of cabbage and potatoes floating in it. At 10:00 pm, it's time to sleep. Most people spend their day either reciting prison rules or sitting on the kang (a type of bed) staring blankly into space, occasionally going out for some fresh air.

  The detention center is usually inspected every 40 minutes, the inspection channel is above the cell, and each cell also has a plastic alarm clock. The suspects in the detention center are very accurate about this time period, and before each inspection, everyone is very honest.

  For six days, no one bothered Ye Feng.

  The seventh day is Monday, and on Mondays, they sell daily necessities such as soap, shampoo, pens, paper, etc. Of course, there are also cigarettes, but they are all cheap and of poor quality.

  The detention center is absolutely prohibited from circulating cash, just like the absolute prohibition of sharp objects that can cause harm to people. In the detention center, transactions are carried out using a card similar to a deposit slip. After each transaction, the corresponding amount of money will be deducted and stamped.

  That day many people went out to buy things, and the cell was left with only Ye Feng and four or five old devils. These few old devils were exactly the ones who didn't look very convinced by Ye Feng at first.

  Ye Feng had been feeling somewhat vexed over the past two days.

  At this moment, an unexpected event occurred. Although Ye Feng suffered punishment, it also unexpectedly resolved his biggest worry and suffocation.

  The unexpected source was a few old ghosts who were dissatisfied with Ye Feng.

  When most people in the cell went out to buy things, Ye Feng found that several old devils stayed behind, looking at him with a very strange gaze. Then, several people huddled together and whispered a few words. One of the tallest individuals took a towel and walked to the cell door, covering the surveillance camera on top of the door with the towel.

  At this time, Ye Feng had already realized that these people seemed to be planning to make a move on him. It was rare for them to have endured for so many days, but now it seemed they couldn't endure any longer.

  Several people quickly gathered around Yefeng, one of whom was even holding a fruit knife.

  This made Ye Feng somewhat surprised, because according to the rules of the detention center, it was absolutely not allowed to privately carry this kind of sharp object that could cause harm to people, not even a toothpick.

  But this person did not know through what channel came a fruit knife.

  A surge of anger rose in Ye Feng's heart. He was framed and wronged by Liu Yong and his wife outside, and now that he had come to this place, would he still be provoked and retaliated against by these true dregs of society?

  Of course not, Ye Feng had made up his mind long ago. These people wouldn't take the initiative to provoke him, and he absolutely wouldn't take the initiative to provoke them either. However, if they insisted on finding trouble with him, then he wouldn't mind beating them up again.

  So, Ye Feng didn't retreat or dodge, but instead actively went forward, opening up his fastest speed to circle around the old ghost holding a fruit knife from behind, one hand grabbing his hair, then lifting his leg and heavily kicking him in the waist.

  The guy with the knife let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, his body arched like a shrimp due to the intense pain, and he couldn't stop trembling.

  Several old devils were stunned on the spot, but Ye Feng didn't show any surprise. He immediately found his next target, tripped him with one foot, pulled up his arm, twisted it around, and then forcefully stomped down.

  "A cracking sound", extremely crisp bone fracture sound, immediately followed by a shrill scream like killing a pig.

  This old devil, had his arm trampled and broken by Ye Feng, the forearm twisted at a strange angle, the fractured bone piercing through muscle and skin, fresh blood gushing out, a shocking sight to behold.

  The remaining old devils are no longer stunned, but instead knelt down to Ye Feng with a thud, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

  Ye Feng knew they were really afraid, this time he took action steadily and accurately, without any hesitation. Plus his reputation as a murder suspect, he had completely crushed their psychology.
