Stuck in a Chinese novel

Wei Jun was taken back to the prison yard. When he entered, he saw something that made him smile. The fear from earlier was gone.

Although he hadn't expected just one of his moves to instill fear to the point he would be the king of the place, he was still sure they would hold back after this.

He was wrong.

Looking at them, especially those who were after his life, he saw no fear in their eyes let alone hesitation. They were raring to go and their bloodlust was to the point that Wei Jun could sense it from across the yard.

'It seems the warden has sent a message. Well, that too, in a way, his own downfall.' Wei Jun thought inwardly as he made his way to the bench where the gang from earlier, except for the buff man whose arm Wei Jun had almost ripped off, sitting and talking with each other, their expressions somber because their ringleader was out of the equation and the rest were looking at them as the next prey.

When they saw Wei Jun coming in their direction, they tensed up but also put up their guards in case of a sudden attack. Wei Jun smiled as he approached them and said just this, "Get the fu*k off my seat."

It wasn't his seat but it wasn't theirs either so it belonged to the one who could take it. At that moment, Wei Jun could take it so he took it, whether there was a point in doing so or not.

The gang looked at each other but no one stepped forward. With no choice left, they left the scene and Wei Jun climbed up on the table with a smile.

"Ahem!" Wei Jun coughed to get everyone's attention. Once everyone was attentive, Wei Jun said, "Hello! I'm the reaper."

"…" Silence to that. To which Wei Jun nodded his head and said, "I'm here on vacation. For a week. There are three kinds of people here."

"One, those who want to mess with me but are wary of me, and then the second ones are those who are afraid of me." Wei Jun paused and said with a deep tone, "You're right to do so. Fear me! For I might reap your soul next."

He stopped and paused for a while to observe the faces of those listening to him. They had a variety of expressions. Some looked at him like a lunatic, some looked at him seriously, while some were just entertained by his words.

"Then there are those who are here to kill me," Wei Jun said out loud, garnering the attention of a few people. One of them was the person who was not interested in him since the beginning but even he turned to look at him.

Wei Jun smiled as his goal was fulfilled so he ended his sermon with, "For those who are here to kill me; you are all going to die."

"No mercy for those." Wei Jun said before he climbed down and made his way to the exit of the yard.

Everyone in the place followed him with their gazes but one of them struck out the most.

The person who was sitting alone since the beginning and so far had only shown a reaction when Wei Jun mentioned the second category of people.

***************

"Mister Ruan." Xiang Fan said who had been waiting for Wei Jun for almost fifteen minutes.

"Sorry for the delay. I had to get my word across." Wei Jun said but not anything else about it. Xiang Fan took the sign wisely and also didn't pursue the topic.

"You had some instructions for me?" Xiang Fan asked getting straight to the business because that was what Wei Jun liked.

"Yes. I want an update first of all." Wei Jun said.

"That would be a bit difficult, sir." Xiang Fan said and began the elaboration regarding Wei Jun's case, "The evidence is very conclusive, for one. And the D.A. is after you hard. Very hard. They have cut off connections to many of the witnesses so we cannot use them. Learning from your previous case, they have tightened the security as well.

That is why you're in here instead of a county."

Wei Jun nodded and asked, "And about the victim?"

"The man's name cannot be found. Nothing on the credentials either. Everything is fake and fabricated. We couldn't find anything. As if the man didn't exist until a few days ago." Xiang Fan said.

"Hmm…" Wei Jun nodded and finally asked, "I need you to do something for me. When you get Xia Lu here…."

************

The meeting came to an end very quickly. Unfortunately, no one could hear what they talked about because they didn't expect Xiang Fan to come with a signal blocker.

Still, it didn't matter to them because this time tomorrow, everything would be over.

Many in the penitentiary had their own plans and one of those was staring at the wall silently.

He was a man with a significant height and an overbearing presence. He crackled his hands as he silently stared at the wall of his cell.

His bald head and appearance didn't match the glasses on his eyes. Reading glasses to be precise as a book could be seen closed next to him.

He took off his glasses and tore his gaze off the wall. He sighed.

"It seems I cannot do anything tomorrow. Our target is quite a bit of a celebrity. Half of the prison is after him." The man said to particularly no one.

There was no one else in the cell and all there was, was silence. His cellmate, at the top bunk, was shivering but even that was being done silently.

He dared not make any voice so as to not disturb the bald man who was seemingly talking to himself.

As for the bald man, he turned his head to a bug in the cell and said, "I will make my move after them."

He paused for a little while before he added, "Don't worry. He won't die to any of them. He's strong for them."

The man lay back in his bed and finally said his last bit, "But not than me though. I'm stronger."

The bald man raised his hand and looked at the bracelet on his wrist as he replied, "I'm the only one here who's not limited after all."

*************

Wei Jun opened his eyes. As he stood up, he looked around in the cramped space and chuckled to himself.

All things considered, it was his first time in jail, this or his previous life. He had never been to jail, not as a prisoner at least.

Back in his world, his brother always kept him out no matter how much the world squeaked and accused him of many murders and everything.

But here, he was now realizing the absence of his brother. He had felt it before but he had never felt it like this before. The person who always paid attention to him.

His one and only brother.

"I miss you, brother." Wei Jun said with a smile.

But it was enough being emotional. He did that sometimes when he missed his old world too much and all the people in it.

But he would always remind himself that there was still work left to do. Work was as necessary as everything else, even emotions.

He raised his head and looked at the panel in his vision.

[A quest has arrived]

[The killer and the killers]

[Tier: B]

[Description: There are killers after you.

But, as a killer yourself, and a better one, isn't that an insult to you?]

[Task: Kill all those who come after you]

[Reward: +10 to all physical stats]

[Punishment: Death]

Wei Jun smiled. A straightforward quest. He liked it. More than anything else.

After all, killing was second nature to him. He didn't enjoy killing but considered it a part of his job. And technically, he loved his job.

************

"He's coming." A buff man said.

The group of some fifty-odd men waited in an empty room that was right next to the showers.

As for why these men were waiting there? Well, that was simple.

Their target was coming to have a shower right in the next room.

The target they had to kill.

"Wait for him to go in and only go in after a little while." A static voice came from the radio given to one of the men.

The voice then continued, "I have removed all your bracelets so you can use Qi. Make sure the job is done clean and spotless."

"And don't overdo it with the Qi so that it goes away soon. Lest we risk the traces being picked up later during the investigation." The voice continued while the men just listened.

"He's in." The man standing at visual once again said.

"All right." The voice from the radio said before he finally added, "Get this over with and you all get good surprises tonight."
