Chapter 290: The Town Ruins Stele
It seems that the water in this prison is deeper than I imagined. Lin Qiye nodded.
Under the influence of the Town Ruins Monument, all realms and forbidden sequences lost their meaning; no matter how high the sequence, they could only be confined within the body. Only a few types of forbidden ruins that could alter physical strength still had some effect, providing extraordinary combat power, like that Boss Han. Fang Yanghui said.
Wang Lu nodded in agreement, saying that before entering the fasting facility, he was merely a physical enhancement type forbidden ruin owner at the Sea Realm. In this prison, there were indeed prisoners at the Infinite or even Klein level; any one of them could easily crush him. But here… combat power had been reshuffled.
The Town Ruins Monument… Lin Qiye murmured this name. Is this the forbidden object that suppresses everyone?
That’s right. Wang Lu said that the Town Ruins Monument is made from an extremely rare black stone, possessing the power to suppress all forbidden ruins. The strength of the suppression is related to the size of the stone; to suppress forbidden ruins below the River Realm, a piece the size of a basketball is sufficient, but to suppress Klein-level forbidden ruins, it must be at least eight or nine meters tall.
Lin Qiye nodded, thinking that the Town Ruins Monument suppressing everyone in the training camp was probably about the size of a basketball, far from the one in the fasting facility; otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress so many prisoners at once.
Eight or nine meters tall? With such a large target, aren’t they afraid something might happen to the Town Ruins Monument? Lin Qiye asked again. If the Town Ruins Monument that suppresses everyone’s forbidden ruins were to disappear, who could control so many prisoners?
Wang Lu and Fang Yanghui exchanged glances, both smiling.
It’s not that easy. Do you know where the Town Ruins Monument is? Wang Lu asked.
Lin Qiye shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.
Not knowing is correct. Besides the warden who oversees this prison, no one knows the location of the Town Ruins Monument. Wang Lu chuckled. A black stone monument eight or nine meters tall should be quite obvious, right? But even if you turned the entire fasting facility upside down, you wouldn’t find a trace of the Town Ruins Monument.
If we can’t even find out where the Town Ruins Monument is, how can we talk about accidents?
Lin Qiye was left speechless.
Moreover, even if something were to happen to the Town Ruins Monument, no prisoner would be able to walk out of this prison alive. Fang Yanghui continued.
Why?
Do you know who the warden of this prison is? Fang Yanghui said mysteriously.
Lin Qiye shook his head.
It’s Master Chen, one of the five human ceilings. Fang Yanghui’s lips curled slightly. Even if the Town Ruins Monument were to fail, all the prisoners here combined wouldn’t be able to defeat him. What could possibly happen?
Lin Qiye:…
The image of the old man who had chatted and shared tea with him resurfaced in Lin Qiye’s mind. He hadn’t expected that, besides being a human ceiling, Master Chen was also the warden of the fasting facility.
With him in charge, unless several deities came in person, it was indeed impossible for this place to fall…
Lin Qiye sighed deeply. With Master Chen here, the difficulty of his escape had increased significantly.
Not to mention that his forbidden ruins had been suppressed; even if they were released, escaping under the watch of a human ceiling would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Could it be that he really had to wait until the year was up to leave this place?
However, Master Chen was naturally laid-back and carefree. Although he was the warden here, he wouldn’t always be present. After all, with the Town Ruins Monument in place, it made little difference whether he was there or not. Fang Yanghui added.
After finishing lunch, Lin Qiye glanced at the time and bid farewell to the two, heading to the activity area to begin training.
He hadn’t completed yesterday’s training tasks before being interrupted by Brother A-Meng, but fortunately, today Boss Han and the others didn’t show up for some reason, allowing Lin Qiye to enjoy some peace.
After completing nine sets of pull-ups, Lin Qiye picked up a stone nearby, strapped it to his back for added weight, and started running around the sports field.
The scorching sun blazed.
The midday sun hung high overhead, and the hot air felt as if it could ignite his lungs. The blistering sun scorched the earth, and during this time, there were very few prisoners still exercising in the open-air activity area.
The vast majority of prisoners chose to chat and eat in the cafeteria or relax in the reading room. It must be said that the activities in the prison were quite diverse.
In the empty outdoor activity area, there was only one boy in a blue and white striped patient uniform, staggering under the weight but gritting his teeth and continuing to run forward.
Sweat streamed down his cheeks, dripping into the ground below. His patient uniform was already soaked, yet he showed no signs of stopping.
Wang Lu and Fang Yanghui sat in the shadows of a corner, casually plucking a blade of grass to chew on, watching Lin Qiye run desperately under the blazing sun, their eyes filled with emotion.
Young people really have vitality; it reminds me of the days in the training camp back then…
Fang Yanghui shot him a glance, disbelief written all over his face. Did you really work that hard back then?
…Wang Lu turned his head to look at the empty outdoor activity area, changing the subject. However, it’s surprising that Boss Han’s group didn’t come to trouble Lin Qiye today; it seems we were overthinking it.
It’s not that they don’t want to cause trouble; they just don’t have the time. Fang Yanghui shrugged. I just heard that Boss Han’s one-eyed man has gone missing, and they are looking for him.
Missing? Killed secretly?
I don’t know, but it’s quite possible. Fang Yanghui’s gaze swept around, speaking lightly. This isn’t just any place; it’s the fasting facility. A living person just disappearing like that can only mean one thing…
To be able to kill someone without Boss Han’s knowledge is indeed impressive. I didn’t expect that among these prisoners, there would be such ruthless individuals. Curiosity flickered in Wang Lu’s eyes.
…
The tools in the restroom on the first floor have been tampered with?
After hearing the report from the scar-faced man, Boss Han’s brows furrowed slightly.
That’s right, and there are fresh bloodstains on them. It seems that… the scar-faced man’s expression was somewhat hesitant.
Boss Han’s face darkened, his gaze sweeping across the cafeteria, revealing a sinister look. Anyone who dares to touch me… is truly seeking death!
Boss Han took a deep breath, suppressing the anger within him. Has the one-eyed man provoked anyone recently?
As far as I know, it seems not. The scar-faced man pondered for a moment. However, the guy next to him said he had his eye on a new boy who came in this morning, and he heard he looked quite clean.
A boy… Boss Han’s eyes narrowed slightly.
