Lv Bai stood up, glancing between two prison guards for a moment, then chose one whose size was similar and stripped him of his uniform, putting it on himself.

After all, wearing normal clothes would be too conspicuous when sneaking into the prison.

However, even if he gets caught this time, it won’t be like last time where he had to flee.

The prison bell rings at six o’clock, marking the start of shifts.

To avoid early exposure, Lv Bai dragged the two guards behind a trash bin to hide them.

After doing all this, he turned around and walked toward the A Detention Area, following the route he remembered.

Whether it’s the A, B, C or D Detention Area, their overall structures are similarly arranged.

To enter the detention area, one must pass through the scrutiny of two doors.

When Lv Bai reached the first door at the entrance, still some distance away, he cheerfully greeted the guard at the door.

"Old Wang, still busy huh? I’m off for a shift change, heading back to catch some sleep, feels good."

Due to the distance and the limited visibility at this hour, Lv Bai’s face was indiscernible.

The four guards at the A door exchanged glances.

One guard, surnamed Wang, though finding the voice unfamiliar, still replied with a joking admonishment: "Go on with you, changing shifts and coming over here to brag."

"Hahaha, just thought I’d show some care seeing you guys having a tough time."

Lv Bai laughed as he advanced towards the gate, "Hungry, right? How about I bring breakfast for everyone later?"

"No, no, if the Prison Area Chief sees it, we’d be in trouble."

The guard named Wang, upon Lv Bai getting closer, realized he did not recognize this colleague, but considering they’ve already chatted for quite a few sentences, asking "who are you" seemed inappropriate.

Feeling unsure of what to say due to the unfamiliarity, he hurriedly waved his hand.

"Alright, know you’re about to get off. Go back and man your post. It’s not shift change time yet."

"Eh, in such a hurry to get rid of me."

Lv Bai wasn’t planning to continue the chit-chat anyway.

After all, he was already close enough.

He leisurely raised his right hand, and the scene before him froze instantly.

Seizing the zero-point-five seconds of Flash Time, he delivered four rapid punches.

As he withdrew his fists, the world resumed its flow before his eyes.

Not making much noise, the four guards at the door slumped limply to the ground.

Facing these ordinary guards, even without training in this world’s Body Forging Technique, Lv Bai, using Flash Time, ensured a silent infiltration.

So far, everything was going smoothly.

He propped up the four guards, then took the key from the guard named Wang and opened the iron door.

The other door was similar to the first one, also guarded by four rotating guards.

The only difference was that this one was a steel-reinforced barred door allowing visibility, with guards stationed on the inner side of the prison.

As they noticed the main door opening, the guard’s eyes were fixed on Lv Bai entering.

"Who are you? What’s your business here?"

The guards sounded stern yet weren’t overly alert, not even bothering to stand.

Lv Bai certainly didn’t act suspiciously; he continued his steps, appearing quite calm.

"Oh, Zhang Muzhi sent me here to handle three matters."

"Huh? What matters?"

The questioning guard paused, trying to recall who this Zhang Muzhi was.

"This..."

Lv Bai had reached the iron gate: "It’s none of your concern now."

Suddenly clutching the collar of the questioning guard, he swiftly jerked and slammed him against the iron bars with a loud clang.

"Who are you?!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Let go!"

The other three guards reacted quickly.

Faced with this abrupt situation, one guard promptly pressed the alarm button on the wall.

Red lights, signaling danger and alert, illuminated various parts of the prison, the piercing alarm echoing throughout the facility.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lv Bai acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing, repeatedly smashing the guard in his grip against the iron bars until he was knocked unconscious, then retrieving the key chain from his belt.

Witnessing this, the remaining three guards were shocked.

Almost simultaneously, they drew their guns, aiming at Lv Bai.

"What are you trying to do?!"

"Stop immediately, don’t be stubborn."

Having broken out once before, he wasn’t completely inexperienced.

Lv Bai quickly found the correct key, dismissing the threats altogether.

Right in front of the three guards, he unlocked the barred door.

Bang!

The guard on Lv Bai’s right, either lacking nerves or being quick-handed, saw Lv Bai open the barred door and immediately pulled the trigger.

Flash Time activated silently.

Lv Bai aimed at the bullet suspended in mid-air and smacked it down.

There was no choice; the time was just enough for him to use Inner Strength to refine the bone, flesh, and skin of his right hand.

His eyesight and reflexes remained at ordinary human levels.

Thus, to catch bullets bare-handed, using Flash Time was prudent.

The guards didn’t get a chance to fire another shot.

Lv Bai swiftly knocked the three guards to the ground, then hurriedly ran towards the cell indicated in the intelligence.

He didn’t expect a perfect infiltration, successfully getting into the A Detention Area meant half the goal was achieved.

The intense alarm had awakened the inmates in every cell of the A Detention Area, loud noises filling the corridors.

"Hey kid! Come and unlock my door quickly, or you’ll run out of time."

"Hurry up, stop dawdling, I’m the boss in Santa Cruz. Get me out, and you’ll have money to spend for a lifetime!"

"Interesting, truly interesting, how long has it been since we’ve seen such a rash kid, actually daring to break into a prison alone."

"Gan Lin Niang, save me! Let me out first!"

Some inmates pressed their heads to the cell door’s small window, watching Lv Bai passing through the corridor with interest.

Some inmates appeared especially agitated, loudly shouting for Lv Bai to look their way.

The inmates in the A Detention Area were far fewer compared to those in the D Detention Area.

Moreover, these cells were mostly single occupancy, and even the double occupancy cells were rare.

This wasn’t because the A Detention Area had more humane conditions; it’s simply because the prisoners here were far more important than those in the D Detention Area.

Choosing anyone among them, like high-ranking officials or influential business magnates, or they were once heads of dark criminal organizations.

At the very least, they were formidable martial artists, even Postnatal Martial Artists didn’t qualify to be held in the A Detention Area.

Lv Bai ignored the verbal distractions along the way, quickly reaching a cell door at the end of the corridor.

He found the correct key according to the cell number, inserted it into the lock.

With a crisp sound, the cell door opened...
