I'm not a drama god

Ruoshui Prison.

Inner wall, watchtower.

The high walls forged of steel, like an insurmountable chasm, sealed off the desolate Ruoshui base.

Dozens of watchtowers are located throughout the high walls, some specifically responsible for monitoring the base, others specifically responsible for monitoring the surrounding streets... as if they are afraid that someone might come out of the base, and also afraid that someone might break in from the outside.

The red alert blared through the air, and on the watchtowers, everyone panicked.

"What's going on? What kind of alarm is this?"

"I do not know……"

"You don't know either?"

"We've all just been transferred to Ruoshui Prison, so nobody knows more than anyone else!"

"Where were you transferred from?"

"I am a disciple of Lord Li, and I was originally in charge of grain transport in Lingxu Prison."

“Eh…so you’re also one of Lord Li’s people? I’m a distant cousin of Lord Li, I came from the Chengtian Realm, and I used to help him manage some…cough cough, interpersonal relationships.”

"I was promoted by Lord Tang in the army. Lord Tang and Lord Li have a good personal relationship, so we are practically family."

“I remember now! Did you come to my house to pay your respects with Lord Tang last year during the Spring Festival? That’s why you looked familiar.”

"By the way, those seventh-rank Grand Commandants who are stationed with us at the inner wall are also Lord Li's confidants."

"Yes, hahaha, so they're all acquaintances!"

"Hmm, they're all cooked...hmm?"

A seemingly quick-witted figure paused for a moment, sensing that something was amiss.

But no one else seemed to notice anything amiss, continuing to laugh and chat about their kinship. Only he hesitated for a moment before asking a question:

"Then... what happened to the original guards of Ruoshui Prison?"

“They’ve all been assigned to the outer wall.” Someone pointed to the towering, continuous wall in the distance. “The outer wall is responsible for blocking the invasion of calamities, while the inner wall is responsible for guarding the Ruoshui base… Compared to them, most of us guarding the inner wall are just putting on a show and nothing will happen to us.”

"That's right. No matter what, we have a relationship with Lord Li and Lord Tang. We're not going to go to the front lines to die."

"Moreover, with numerous seventh-rank Grand Commandants in charge, even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't be our turn to hold it up."

"This strange alarm is most likely a sign of a calamity attack; it shouldn't be related to our inner walls..."

"I see."

"..."

As they chatted, everyone calmed down.

After all, in a sense, the inner wall and the Ruoshui base it suppressed were the safest places in the entire prison, so what else did they have to worry about?

Just then, patches of gray-white areas began to spread within the prison, and raging calamity figures emerged from the void, their roars accompanied by a suffocating sense of oppression, wreaking havoc across the streets!

At this moment, everyone on the inner wall was completely dumbfounded.

"Calamity..."

"They went straight into the city??"

They all wondered if they were dreaming, pinched themselves hard, and then looked on incredulously!

"How is this possible?!"

"The outer walls haven't even been breached yet, so how could this calamity appear directly in Ruoshui Prison?"

"The Gray Realm seems to be merging with Ruoshui Prison... Damn it, what's going on?!"

"..."

The resistance they had imagined from the outer walls did not materialize. Instead, these calamities appeared within the walls like ghosts, ravaging the surrounding buildings and turning large blocks of streets into dust, with thick smoke billowing into the sky.

Strangely, they didn't see many people, as if the prison, ravaged by disaster, had somehow become a ghost town.

After some calamities destroyed many buildings, they saw no humans and slowly turned their gaze to the innermost wall of the prison...

They sensed danger here.

Boom! !

With a deafening roar as it trampled the earth, a skeletal giant elephant hurtled toward the inner wall.

Its size was so enormous that with each step it created a deep crater in the ground. With its terrifying weight, it crashed into the inner wall, creating a grotesque crack that almost went through the entire wall!

boom--!!!

In an instant, the numerous guards on the inner wall were almost blown over!

Immediately afterwards, more and more calamities attacked the inner wall, coming from all directions, some even flying in the air, leaving the newly arrived garrison at a loss.

Fortunately, there were quite a few seventh-tier powerhouses from the Chengtian Realm among these people. They immediately took advantage of the terrain to suppress the calamities that rushed over. The divine path and the calamity domain collided with each other, and the entire inner wall became a chaotic battlefield.

"Am I just imagining things?" Someone rubbed their eyes and looked in a certain direction in the block.

"Why does it seem like someone is defying the calamity... coming this way?"

Everyone followed his gaze.

Amidst the ruins of the neighborhood, a figure with long, light blue hair slowly walked through the swirling dust. He had a snake-shaped tattoo on his neck, and his eyes were lowered... At this moment, as if sensing the gazes of the people on the watchtower, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The next second, his figure turned into a wisp of mist and vanished without a trace.

"...That's it?"

Am I seeing things?

Just as the guards were stunned, wisps of mist gathered behind them, gradually outlining the figure of a young man with light blue hair...

He lightly raised his fingertip, and a bolt of lightning, like a snake, burst forth from his side, instantly linking the guards on the watchtower together like a chain!

Under the deadly lightning strike, the defenders didn't even have time to cry for help before they were turned into charred remains and fell to the ground.

The young man glanced at them casually, then his figure vanished into mist once more...

When it reappeared, it was like a ghost, arriving at the nearest watchtower and wiping out the guards with a wave of its hand... then the third, and the fourth.

He was like a silent ghost on the battlefield, constantly eroding the inner wall's defenses. When he reached the fifth watchtower, just after the young man finished killing someone, several strangely shaped puppets came flying through the air and surrounded him inside the watchtower!

Each of these puppets exuded a sharp killing intent. The young man narrowed his eyes as he scanned them, finally settling on a man who was slowly descending onto the watchtower...

"A seventh-order Yellow God? I've never heard of such a person in Ruoshui Prison... Just who are you?" The man frowned as he sized up the young man.

"Tsk... They found it on the fifth one?" The blue-haired figure shook his head with some regret. "I thought I had that old lady firmly in my grasp... But it seems the outcome is still uncertain..."

"What are you talking about?" The man's brows furrowed even more deeply.

The young man's gaze fell on the man, and after a moment, he slowly took out a playing card from his pocket, which emitted an eerie glow in the hazy mist. He spoke softly:

"Twilight Society, [Q Square]... Please enlighten me."
