Chapter 1324: Real Criminals

'Then I can tell others that now that the barrier is gone, I can help them escape. I can then form the portal to take them with me. No one would know that I was behind it?' he thought.

'Wait! I can use that method to escape alone as well! I can break the barrier and return. Then I can spend a day here inside the prison, making sure that the Heavenly Warriors know that I was inside the prison.'

'And after one day, I can use my Teleportation to escape alone? The barrier won't be there to stop my laws! That would be perfect!'

'Short range teleportation is normal, but I doubt anyone here knows the Law of Space to my extent. The Heavenly Warriors would not know that to restrict me. I could escape even after one day.'

'That's good. Instead of having only one plan, I now have two. But the problem still exists. My plans are from the moment I break the barrier, but breaking them is a different mess altogether. At night, I'll be inside the cells. And during the day, I'll be under constant watch.'

'I can't get to the barriers without being seen. It would have been easier if I was allowed to go out of the cell at night, but that's only the facility for the Inner Grade Prisoners.'

'First, I need to arrange a path to get to the barrier? since I can't use Teleportation until then.'

"Hey, kid. What happened? What are you thinking now?"

Long Chen was lost in thought, only to be taken out of his daze by Zia Uzhi's voice.

"Huh? Did you say something?"

"Yeah, I was asking what you're thinking. You suddenly went silent."

"Oh, that. I was thinking nothing. Just some random things, wondering if I would ever be able to become an Inner Prisoner," Long Chen replied, giving a random excuse.

"That? I doubt you can but who knows. You have your entire life ahead of us. If you work hard, you might get promoted one day," Zia Uzhi replied, smiling.

He pointed straight ahead. "And here we are. Beyond this door starts the common arena."

Ahead of the two of them was a door that was closed. However, people could be seen passing through the door without opening it.

"Is that really a door or an illusion of a door?" Long Chen asked, stunned.

"That's really a door. But it's a different kind of door. When it's the day, you can pass through it without opening it. And when it's night, let alone passing through it, but you can't even open it," Zia Uzhi explained.

"So another obstruction in our path, huh," Long Chen muttered, adding this problem to his list too.

He and Zia Uzhi passed through the door.

Long Chen took his first step inside the common arena of the Heavenly Prison.

As soon as he stepped out, the first thing he noticed was the red barrier that could be seen in the sky. As for where the barrier met the ground, he couldn't see that because of all the buildings around him.

The only thing he was certain of was that the barrier was really big.

Moreover, he could also feel that there was a strange kind of power behind the barrier. Even though he was far from it, he could still feel that he shouldn't approach the barrier or he was going to suffer.

"Majestic, isn't it?" Zia Uzhi asked, sighing. "If only that barrier wasn't here, things could have been so much easier. But then again, the barrier also stops the outside world from some real criminals, unlike the ones like me."

"Real criminals?" Long Chen asked. "You mean the ones that commit serious crimes like massacres?"

"That's right. It's not all rainbows and sunshine here. You're lucky I'm with you. Because there are a lot of people here who would have strangled you if you had annoyed them with your questions, and you wouldn't have been able to protect yourself either!"

"The Heavenly Warriors don't stop the fights if there are any?' Long Chen asked.

"They won't. It's a lawless place when it comes to that. The Heavenly Warriors are only here to make sure that you don't try escaping and so that they could handle the resources distribution and keep an eye on the promotions. Other than that, they won't interfere in anything," Zia Uzhi replied.

" But still, it's not like everyone goes around killing. Most people don't bother themselves with another person. They won't attack unless another person goes to them to bother them. That's why this place is mostly peaceful since most of us know the unwritten laws," he added.

"And I'm here, teaching you those unwritten laws, so you don't go around and get yourself killed," he continued.

"May I ask why you're helping me? As you said, most people here won't bother with someone else. Then why do you help me?" Long Chen asked, confused. "Did you take pity on me?"

"I guess you can say that," Zia Uzhi lazily responded. "Anyway, you see that tall tower there?"

"Yeah. The black one, right? What's that?" Long Chen asked, glancing at the black tower ahead of him.

"That's the Library," Zia Uzhi replied.? "Come, let me show you. We can only go up to the first floor though. We won't go higher without promotion. The library is a good place to start. It's the safest as well."

There were many prisoners in the arena, and more kept coming out from the cells, but this place was so big that it could easily accommodate even a million prisoners. So despite having so many people here, the arena still seemed mostly empty.

Every person could walk from one place to another without having to walk near another prisoner.

As Long Chen walked toward the prison, he observed his surroundings, especially at all the people.

Most of the people here were walking alone, while a rare few could be seen walking in groups.

Every person here appeared to be multiple times stronger than him, making him understand how dangerous this place could be if he were to get in a conflict.

He even looked behind him at the place where all the cells were. From the outside, that place didn't look any special. It was like an ordinary dome that appeared to be made of the most ordinary of materials that one could find.

At least that was the outer appearance. Long Chen knew that it wasn't true in reality. The ordinary looking materials here were probably strong enough to remain unharmed, even in the face of the strongest of attacks.
