Chapter 9: I Actually Killed Some People (Part 1)

"Get in, stop dawdling."

Qingcheng City, outskirts, Qingcheng Prison.

Reluctantly, Chen Yu was led by a middle-aged police officer into the office of the prison warden.

"Zhang, I've brought Chen Yu here." As soon as they entered, the middle-aged police officer released Chen Yu and warmly shook hands with the warden. "We'll leave the rest to you."

"No trouble at all." The burly man, bearing the title of "Qingcheng Prison Warden" on his head, waved his hand. "The orders from above have already arrived. Wang, rest assured, we'll take care of the next steps."

"There are still many matters back at the station, so I'll go busy myself." The middle-aged police officer turned around and pointed at Chen Yu as a reminder. "This kid is quite cunning."

"What's he going to do, he can't cause any trouble in prison." The warden chuckled. "Within a month, we'll definitely be able to reform him."

"I emphasize once again, what you're doing is illegal." Chen Yu's face grew stern. "I'm going to sue you!"

The middle-aged police officer clasped his hands together. "Thank you, thank you."

The warden replied, "No problem, no problem."

The middle-aged police officer said, "Thanks, thanks."

The warden responded, "You're welcome, you're welcome."

Chen Yu exclaimed, "It's illegal, it's illegal!"

The middle-aged police officer said, "Take care, take care."

The warden bid farewell, "Safe travels, safe travels."

Chen Yu muttered, "..."

*Thud.*

Once the middle-aged police officer left and closed the door, the spacious office was left with only Chen Yu and the prison warden.

"...".

"...".

The two, one large and one small, silently locked eyes for a moment.

Chen Yu struggled, "It's illegal."

The warden remained expressionless. "Stop wasting time."

Approaching him, the warden reached out and removed Chen Yu's hat, revealing the title "World's Number One Serial Torturer, Dismemberer, and Murderer." The warden couldn't help but show a grin. "Impressive."

Chen Yu: "...".

He circled around Chen Yu, marveling in amazement. "So young, yet so skilled. I never would have guessed. Let me ask you, are you naturally twisted, or did it develop later on?"

"This is a 'pre-crime designation.' I haven't committed any crimes yet." Chen Yu weakly countered.

"I know," nodded the warden. "If it weren't for your so-called 'pre-crime designation,' I would have killed you 1,432 times by now."

"...Let me out," Chen Yu pleaded.

"You're dreaming," the warden retorted.

With his curiosity satisfied, the warden placed the hat back on Chen Yu's head, took a few steps back, and sat on the office desk. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Hello? Send two prison guards to retrieve someone from my office."

After hanging up the phone, the warden pointed to a nearby sofa. "Take a seat for now."

Chen Yu didn't hesitate and sat down directly.

Since he was here, he had to accept his situation.

With the title of "Serial Killer" on his head, he had no other choice...

Right now, all he wanted was to gather his strength and, once completely free, immediately eliminate his neighbor who had reported him.

You can't teach the government a lesson, but you sure as hell can't get away with it, can you?!

The weak drawing a blade against the weaker has always been the natural order of things...

Before long, two prison guards dressed in uniforms arrived.

"Take this young man to the West Cell Block," the warden instructed.

"Yes!" The two guards approached, one on each side, ready to take Chen Yu away.

"Wait." The warden stopped one of the guards. "Let him go, you come here."

The two guards exchanged glances, and the one on the left nodded before continuing to support Chen Yu as they walked away.

The remaining guard approached the warden respectfully. "Leader, any instructions?"

"That young man is named Chen Yu, and he's not a criminal. Find him a separate cell to sleep in tonight. Let him eat our food. Everyone, keep an eye on him and don't let those criminals bully him," the warden explained.

"I see," the guard nodded in understanding. "No wonder you personally brought him from your office."

"He's someone who's about to commit a crime but hasn't done so yet," the warden took a sip from the teacup on the desk. "Scare him a bit, pre-emptive rehabilitation."

"I understand."

...

"Bang!"

The prison cell door was pulled open, and the guard in charge of Chen Yu lightly pushed him inside. "Get in. If you have any questions, ask the section chief."

Since Chen Yu was coming from the warden's office, the guard's attitude was relatively polite. If it were any other inmate, they would have been kicked inside without hesitation.

*Thud!*

Accompanied by the sound of the iron door being closed and locked, the guard left.
