Chapter 12: Prisoners

This is the fastest way to improve strength in a short period of time.

“Except for the five-colored spirit-tailed sparrow, there are no other creatures that can be killed in the sect. I wonder if there are any suitable prey here?”

As the thoughts in his mind floated.

Xiao Shi immediately began to inquire.

He focused on whether there were any birds or beasts raised in the Night Patrol Department.

He soon found out.

The Night Patrol Department did have a bird that was specifically used for intelligence transmission.

But this bird was more precious than the five-colored spirit-tailed sparrow in the sect.

It was impossible to get it.

As for other birds and beasts…

It is said that some night watchmen do raise spirit beasts, but these spirit beasts are like their partners and are also part of their combat power. It is impossible for them to give them up.

“Maybe I am in the wrong direction. It is not necessary to kill birds and beasts that have entered the martial realm…”

Xiao Shi was thoughtful.

Suddenly thought of a place.

Night Patrol Department, prison!

There is a prison in each of the four areas of the Night Patrol Department.

They held the criminals captured by the night watchmen of each team while on duty.

Xiao Shi came all the way to the prison of their team D.

At the door of the prison, there were two night watchmen of the team D who were in charge of guarding. After seeing Xiao Shi, they looked at Xiao Shi with interest.

“New here?”

“Hello, two senior brothers.”

Xiao Shi smiled and took out two pots of wine prepared early in the morning and handed them to the two.

The two night watchmen took it with a smile, took a sip, and their eyes widened instantly.

“What kind of wine is this!”

They said in amazement that they had never drunk such delicious wine.

Xiao Shi quickly got closer to them through these two pots of wine and inquired about the information about the prison from the two.

Focused on inquiring about the prisoners in the prison.

“In fact, when we are on a mission, we basically kill those evil gangsters and bandits directly, and rarely arrest them, unless they are the people who are specifically required to be arrested by the mission, so there are never many prisoners in the prison.”

The night watchman named Wang Changhuan said to Xiao Shi while drinking.

Xiao Shi nodded.

“Then how do you usually deal with these prisoners?”

“If they are the people who are specified to be arrested by the mission, the superiors will usually make special arrangements. As for the others who are arrested, they are locked up.”

Another night watchman named Yang Zhen said, looked at Xiao Shi, and smiled.

“You want to practice with prisoners, right?”

He knew that some new night watchmen would often find targets to practice with before carrying out their missions.

The prisoners in this prison are good training targets.

“Is it okay?”

Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up.

“If it’s the prisoners who are assigned to be captured, it’s definitely not possible, but if it’s an ordinary prisoner, as long as the person who captures him agrees, you can deal with it.”

Xiao Shi suddenly realized.

That is to say…

The right to deal with ordinary prisoners is in the hands of the night watchman who captures him.

If I want to practice with prisoners, I must first obtain the permission of the person who captures him.

“You’re lucky. There is a villain I captured in our prison.”

The night watchman named Yang Zhen patted Xiao Shi on the shoulder.

“If you want to practice, I can give him to you directly, but you have to be careful. This person has the fifth level of martial arts. Although his strength has decreased under detention, he is not easy to deal with.”

“Thank you, senior brother!”

Xiao Shi thanked him repeatedly, hesitated for a while, and asked.

“If I accidentally kill someone…”

“If he dies, he dies.”

Yang Zhen waved his hand disapprovingly.

“These prisoners deserve death. They can practice with us night watchmen before they die, which is their last contribution to this world.”

Xiao Shi nodded.

He felt relieved when he heard this.

…

The prison is dark and gloomy, and there is no sunlight all year round.

The cells here are surrounded by walls. It is usually difficult to see the situation inside the cells when the cell doors are not opened.

When Wang Changhuan and Yang Zhen brought Xiao Shi to one of the cells and opened the iron door of the cell, Xiao Shi saw the prisoners in the cell.

This is a burly old man with disheveled hair, covered with dirt and blood, wearing special handcuffs and anklets, squatting in the corner.

“Junior Brother Xiao, do you really not need us to protect you?”

Yang Zhen couldn’t help asking again.

The two of them wanted to protect Xiao Shi.

If Xiao Shi was defeated or encountered any danger in the battle, they could take action in time to ensure Xiao Shi’s safety.

There was a night watchman who was killed by the prisoners because he was defeated.

In their opinion, Xiao Shi was only at the fourth level of the martial arts realm after all.

Facing a fifth-level prisoner with reduced strength, there was still a certain risk.

Xiao Shi smiled and shook his head.

“Thank you, two senior brothers, but I want to fight alone. If I can’t even handle such a prisoner, I will probably have a hard time surviving the night watchman mission later.”

The two nodded.

They were deeply touched by Xiao Shi’s words.

As experienced people, they all knew that the mortality rate of newcomers was the highest when they performed their first mission.

Especially their Ding team…

Usually the night watchmen who joined the Ding team were just the most ordinary and mediocre people.

Not as good as the elite team and the genius team.

Basically, one-quarter of the newcomers died in the mission after the first mission.

“Be careful!”

“We’ll wait for you to come out for a drink.”

The two stopped persuading him and encouraged Xiao Shi.

After Xiao Shi entered the cell, they closed the iron door and waited outside.

Xiao Shi walked into the cell and found that the whole cell was smaller than what he saw outside.

There was not much room to dodge and move when fighting here.

At the same time.

The prisoner squatting on the ground slowly raised his head and revealed a ferocious face.

His bloodshot eyes were full of blood, and his body was full of murderous aura and ferocious. He was obviously a person who had been killing for many years.

He stood up directly from the ground.

His whole body was extremely tall, estimated to be about 1.9 meters tall, like a violent bear, staring at Xiao Shi with bloodthirsty and ferocious eyes, and making a hoarse and unpleasant strange laugh.

“You are the new night watchman, right? Hey, a mere fourth-level martial artist, you dare to pick me to practice with? Do you know how many fourth-level martial artists like you I killed before I was arrested?”

He clenched his fists, making crisp clicks, and the ferocity in his eyes seemed to radiate from his pupils, forming a deterrent, and with his tall body, it brought a strong sense of oppression.

But this kind of oppression…

did not seem to work on Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi looked at him calmly, as if he was looking at prey.

There was even a hint of undisguised excitement in his eyes.

As if there was some treasure worth looking forward to on him.

Such a look made this prisoner who had been stained with blood for many years stunned.
