"The Floating...Floating Island Fortress Maximum Security Prison?"
Upon hearing this term, the female prison guard was completely stunned, while the male prison guard also looked incredulous.
"Lord Death God, pardon my offense..."
After hesitating for a long ti, the female prison guard tentatively asked, "Do you really know what kind of place the Floating Island Fortress is? Or did you choose it because you thought it was famous..."
"Of course I know."
Yun You nodded calmly and casually replied, "Isn't it just the largest and strictest detention facility in Nest City?"
"The Floating Island Fortress is located high in the sky, spanning an area of about 300 square kiloters, with a usual population of 100,000 to 200,000. It's said to have a Sur Particle Suppression Device installed inside, capable of suppressing even the Sequence Power and Soul Talent of an Apprentice Death God. Additionally, it is equipped with an Electromagnetic Power Limiter, which restricts a person's physical condition to a specific level."
"That's why it's also the only place that can legally imprison Apprentice Death Gods."
"Those who end up in the Floating Island are all criminals who have committed unforgivable sins. Super serial killers, city thieves who cause nurous bankruptcies, political criminals who render tens or even hundreds of thousands holess, and us, the Apprentice Death Gods who are guilty of heinous cris."
"Their sentences are mostly arbitrary, as there's almost no chance of them leaving. Either they die abruptly on the island for various reasons, or they sohow survive their sentences only to be given an even longer one later on."
"..."
"You're right."
The male prison guard nodded, stating seriously, "But I need to add that the Floating Island is also a pure 'Darwinian Forest,' where the law of the jungle is the absolute truth."
"In other prisons, we manage almost everything about the prisoners—three als a day, outdoor labor, and strictly prevent fights, ensuring no bloodshed occurs."
"But the Floating Island Prison is entirely different. We only monitor the prison walls to ensure prisoners won't escape, and we issue supplies monthly to ensure the inmates don't starve because of us."
"Apart from that, we don't intervene at all, nor do we station any prison guards on the island to ddle in the inmates' lives and battles."
"This ans that once you enter the island, there's almost no order to speak of. If a prisoner starves to death or gets beaten to death, it has nothing to do with us."
"So, all the filth you see in Nest City will be even more exaggerated on the Floating Island because on that island, 'people' cannot survive; only monsters can struggle to live."
The male guard thought that his words were serious enough to dissuade this Death God Girl.
In his view, Yun You was rely a scion of a prestigious family, going through the motions of so-called imprisonnt, enjoying herself in a better prison area, and getting through these years without really needing to suffer on the Floating Island.
But to his surprise, after he ntioned "no order," the little girl's eyes lit up, and she beca even more excited.
Joking aside, if the Floating Island was heavily guarded with security everywhere and annoying rules, she would find it more difficult to act.
For this little monster, having no rules is the best rule!
"I know everything you're saying, no need to elaborate. I've already made up my mind; just arrange as I've instructed."
Yun You licked her small canine teeth, her words were full of irrefutable authority.
Seeing this, the two officers dared not contradict her, only sighing and nodding.
"Lord Death God, generally, prisoners at the Floating Island Fortress Prison are required to wear special tal restraints, completely binding their hands, feet, and even fingers."
The female prison guard smiled obsequiously and gestured with her hand, pointing to the largest elevator inside the precinct.
"However, since you are an Apprentice Death God, you won't need to be shackled, and we can directly escort you to the space elevator."
"And also..."
She paused slightly, her gaze turning to the plump fish behind Yun You.
The plump fish rolled its eyes and patted its fin, seemingly signaling that it wasn't just for decoration...
"About this fish, um, would you like to apply for foster care services?"
The female guard rubbed her hands, awkwardly saying, "Rest assured, we will definitely assign soone to take care of it and ensure it doesn't lose a pound!"
"No need."
Yun You gently shook her head and said, "I rember that Apprentice Death Gods have a privilege allowing the carrying of one 'non-threatening to the prison' item into major prison areas. I'll take this thing, it shouldn't count as a dangerous item, right?"
"This..."
Looking at the constantly shaking fat fish, the policewoman was evidently hesitant.
"There is such a rule, but strictly speaking, taking a [living creature] might not comply with the regulations..."
Upon hearing this, Yun You instantly understood.
She smiled, then casually pulled out an e-coin from her pocket and tossed it to the two guards in the surveillance blind spot.
The coin didn't carry much money, only a thousand Silver Cannons, but that was half a month's salary for these ordinary prison guards, enough to spend a few nights in a small bar.
This is actually the rule for getting things done in Nest City—everything has to be paved with money.
There isn't a strict amount; the key is the "attitude." Offering money is essentially saying, "I have no hostility towards you, I respect you, and I'm here to cooperate."
This is an unspoken promise in Nest City, where zero-sum gas and self-serving behaviors prevail.
As an Apprentice Death God, she could disregard the rules and trample on others' dignity, but Yun You didn't like solving all problems with violence.
Why resort to force when a little money can do the job? Perhaps if she encounters trouble later, these bribed people could lend a helping hand.
Having more friends is never a bad thing,
"Thank you, Lord Death God!"
Sure enough, the two prison guards who received the money imdiately brightened up and refrained from saying more unnecessary words, leading Yun You into the space elevator.
Normally, new prisoners being admitted need to be cuffed first, then have all belongings confiscated, and put into that ugly and plain uniform.
But the Floating Island Prison doesn't have so many twists and turns.
The two guards perford a cursory formal check, registered Yun You's identity, and then, as if escaping, left the elevator, activating the entire space elevator transport system.
"Buzz——!"
Accompanied by the flickering of pale blue digital light, the massive space elevator slowly started, sending Yun You and her fish, inside the capsule, into the sky...
Soon, a whole new world appeared before the girl's eyes.
