Chapter Three: Strange and Eerie

fu Pawn Shop, he walked towards the government office.Upon receiving the letter of appointment, he was already considered the magistrate of Lin'an City, even if it was only a temporary position. That...The Devil Suppression Prison is part of the Devil Suppression Department,

To be honest.

As a place where demonic fiends and monsters are suppressed and sealed, the Demon Suppression Prison in the Demon Suppressing Division is already considered a heavily guarded area.

Looking from the outside.

The Demon Suppression Prison looked like an ancient city, its walls were made of blue brick piled high, with mottled bloodstains all over them. It was filled with a bloody murderous aura and an ancient atmosphere.

A rectangular opening, situated below the wall, is flanked by two stone lions.

Shen Changqing understood.

That gap is actually the entrance to the Demon Suppression Prison.

The entire Town Demon Prison has only one entrance and exit.

At first glance, the entrance and exit of the Demon Suppression Prison don't seem heavily guarded. It doesn't appear to be a heavily secured maximum-security facility.

In fact.

The Demon Suppression Prison doesn't need too many soldiers guarding it.

Here are a few translations, depending on what you had in mind:* **Literal Translation:** "paragraph tag" Please provide more context if you had a specific phrase or sentence within the `

It's very simple.

Because the Demonic Imprisonment Realm exists within the Demon Suppression Bureau, and the Demon Suppression Bureau itself is an unbreakable cage.

Ahead there is a demon-remover, behind a guardian.

Whenever any demons or monsters escape from the Demonic Suppression Prison, they will be detected by the strong fighters within the Demon Suppression Bureau in the next second. There is absolutely no reason for them to survive and leave the Demon Suppression Bureau.

These things.

Shen Changqing also heard it from hearsay.

But he thought the possibility was still quite high.

He stood there for a few seconds.

Shen Changqing took a deep breath and strode into the Demon Suppression Prison.

However—

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The moment he passed the stone lions, a wave of bloodiness hit him, so intense it was almost unbearable, making him gasp for air. The overwhelming stench left him feeling like he'd been plunged into an icy tomb.

Fortunately.

During the bloody assault, a powerful surge of qi and blood rose within Shen Changqing, dispersing the icy chill.

The Thirteen Taibao practice martial arts!

His footsteps hesitated.

Shen Changqing continued walking forward.

This was not his first time coming to the Demon Suppression Prison. He had already experienced the bloody shock within the prison once before.

Last time I entered the Demon-Subduing Prison, I hadn't mastered the Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Cultivation Technique. I stood there for nearly half an hour before gradually getting used to it.

Compared to the last time.

This was just a brief pause, and it was able to be relieved.

>

Therefore.

Chen Changqing had a certain grasp of his own strength.

The entrance to the Demon-Suppressing Prison was a long corridor. There were no wall lamps on either side of the corridor, so it presented a strange darkness.

If an ordinary person walked down such a path, they would inevitably feel fear.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

For Shen Changqing, who has experience,

The dark corridor did not stir too much within him.

Not only was Shen Changqing like this, but any apprentice exorcist was a person of strong will.

Because one lacks sufficient mental fortitude, they are not qualified to enter the Demon Suppression Division.

Every powerful person in the Demon Suppression Corps will inevitably face demons and monsters in their future, and there will be many terrifying scenes along the way. Therefore, a strong mind is needed as support.

Otherwise, it's a dead end sooner or later.

Although the passage is dark.

But Shen Changqing’s steps also did not stop at all.

Very soon.

At the end of the dark corridor, a faint light flickered. Soon, the light grew brighter and clearer.

By the time he was fully out of the darkness, the scene had transformed completely.

Only oil lamps were lit, dispelling all darkness.

Several figures clad in iron armor and helmets with visors stood guard, their faces obscured. They carried swords at their hips.

After seeing Shen Changqing appear.

One of them stepped forward and blocked his path.

Who are you Please show your credentials!

"I am Shen Changqing, a trainee demon slayer of the Huangbu Department. I am here on an inspection tour of the Zhenmo Prison. This is my handbook!"

Shen Changqing stopped his steps and showed Liu Chang the Town Demon Manual he had given him.

Anyone undertaking the duty of patrolling the Demon Suppression Prison will be given a Demon Suppression Prison Manual.

Demonslaying Manual.

This is not only a record of some precautions inside the Demon Suppression Prison, but also a pass to enter the Demon Suppression Prison.

>

After completing each task, the Demon Slayer Handbook needs to be handed back.

Seeing the Demonic Suppression Manual in Shen Changqing's hands.

>

The man immediately made way for them.

Having seen this.

Shen Changqing put away the Demonic Suppression Prison Manual, bowed his hands to a few people, and then walked in.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

Outside the Demon Suppression Prison, there were no heavy troops guarding it.

But inside the Demon Suppression Prison, there are some soldiers guarding it.

As for the soldiers' backgrounds, he wasn't very clear, but being able to stay in Zhenmo Prison for many years was definitely not an ordinary person.

Last time I came.

Shen Changqing did not have too many feelings for the soldiers guarding the Town Demon Prison.

But this time, he felt something different.

Because the Thirteen Taibao practiced martial arts diligently, their senses became sharper.

Shen Changqing could clearly perceive.

Behind those iron armors, lies a surging torrent of blood and vitality.

Even if he had cultivated to the third level of the Thirteen Taibao's Horizontal Training Technique, it was highly likely that he would not be a match for these soldiers.

The Demon Suppression Prison is divided into five levels. The uppermost level holds no demons or monsters, only soldiers guarding it.

Now Shen Changqing is at the top layer.

As soon as I reached the second floor, a bone-chilling coldness surged over me.

Though the chill was intense, it did not affect him greatly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Because ordinary apprentice demon slayers could come and go freely on the second floor, let alone Shen Changqing.

> Went to the second floor.

As soon as possible, Shen Changqing opened the panel and took a look.

As for the column regarding killing values, there is no change for the time being.

"Seems like I need to take a tour around and see for myself!"

The first appearance of kill values occurred in the Demon Slayer Prison.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Since then.

Shen Changqing studied it seriously and finally came to a conclusion.

That is on the body of demons and monsters, it exists killing value, but it does not need to kill them, only need oneself to appear in places where there are demons and monsters, that's enough.

As for the specifics.

He still needs to study it further.

Opening the Demonic Subduing Manual, Shen Changqing skipped over some of the preliminary notes at the beginning and directly flipped to the official content.

As soon as you enter.

It is a portrait of a woman.

The woman in the painting looked bewitchingly alluring, as if she could captivate one's very soul.

He took a quick glance, then flipped it over. There were no drawings on the back, but there was some writing.

Name: Mei Nü Rank: Rank 3 Ghastly Specter Description: Skilled in spiritual attacks, often uses her feminine allure to ensnare souls. Once drained the lifeblood of nearly ten thousand people from five villages. Later captured by the Demon Suppression Agency and imprisoned within the Demon Suppressing Prison.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing closed the Demonic Suppression Manual and walked toward the first cell on the second floor.

The layout of the Demon Suppression Prison was not much different from the prison in his past life's memories. It still consisted of individual cells, where things that needed to be imprisoned were isolated.

As they walked to the first cell.

Shen Changqing’s eyes suddenly changed.

The cell, which should have been cold and bleak, appeared to him as a cozy boudoir. Inside, a woman with long hair cascading down her back sat at a vanity table, her back turned to him.

Through the mirror on her dressing table, Shen Changqing could see that alluringly beautiful face.

Suddenly.

The woman paused her combing, then smiled back with a glance that was full of life.

Shen Changqing remained expressionless.

Upon seeing this.

The seductive woman rose from her vanity, gracefully stepping lotus-like towards him. Her vermilion lips parted slightly, and a wave of intoxicating fragrance washed over him instantly.

"In the esteemed gentleman's eyes, I wonder if my beauty pleases you"

“ — ”

Shen Changqing did not respond, he just stood there.

"My lord, why stand you outside without entering Come in and sit with me," the woman said, giving him a flirtatious glance as she spoke. The garment upon her shoulders slipped slightly, revealing a glimpse of her snowy white collarbone.

Shen Changqing turned and left, leaving the woman's expression stunned.

"It seems like there's no way to get kill points from her!"

Chen Changqing, who was leaving, shook his head secretly in his heart.

He stood outside the cell for a long time, but he didn't get any kill points.

Therefore, it can be seen.

Gaining killing points from a courtesan is highly unlikely.

Therefore.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing was too lazy to waste any more time on the other party. After all, there were so many demons and monsters imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison that it was unnecessary to hang himself on a single tree.

As for the appearance of a seductress.

To be honest, he wasn't interested at all.

Don't be fooled by their alluring and captivating appearance, for ordinary monsters typically lack a physical form. They manifest as illusions only.

Perhaps what one sees is a charming and alluring woman, but in the eyes of others, she appears as someone entirely different.

These things.

As early as the first day I entered the Demon Suppression Division, someone had explained it specifically.

The precautions on the Demon Taming Manual are also the same.

So no matter how the courtesans change, to Shen Changqing, they are all useless.

“No problem with the temptresses, let's see what's in the next cell!”

Shen Changqing flipped open the next page of the Zhèn Mò Yù handbook, read the information above, and then walked towards the next cell.

The Town Demon Prison Handbook lists what kind of demons and monsters are held in each cell.

Please note that the original content was empty. I've only kept the HTML tags as requested.

The task of inspecting the Demon Jail is to make sure that everything inside the cells matches what is listed in the handbook.

If the handbook records something being held, but the cell is empty, then you need to be cautious.

Here is your translated text:

Such a situation.

It is highly probable that it was the item being held captive inside, which escaped for some reason.

It didn't last long.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing had arrived in front of the second cell.

There was also a vengeful ghost imprisoned there, but unlike the enchantress, this one transformed into something else.

A brief pause.

The killing value did not change.

Shen Changqing changed to the next cell very readily.

As expected.

The next cell held a vengeful, spectral creature.

Very soon.

The second layer had now reached the final cell.

Shen Changqing's footsteps also came to a halt.
