The prison guards led the new prisoners to their cells, some on the first floor, some on the second, third, fourth...

Tu Mi walked at the back of the prisoner's line. His gaze shifted from the prisoner with hemorrhoids to the old prisoner in the cell, who was trapped by iron bars and hurling insults at him. He smiled at the old prisoner.

The next second, a scream rang out from the ground floor of the grid-like prison building, piercing the noise of the prisoners. All the prisoners and guards looked at the screaming old prisoner. The old prisoner, who had been filthy and offensive just moments before, had already shrunk into his cell, one hand holding the other in a twisted position, looking at Tu Mi with fear in his eyes.

The prison guards standing by did not stop or warn Tu Mi with electric batons. Tu Mi was someone the warden had personally instructed not to search, which showed that she had great power behind her. These lowly prison guards could not afford to touch her.

Seeing the old prisoner's miserable state, his cellmate, who had been slamming his hands or reaching out to grab the bars, unconsciously calmed down and looked Tu Mi up and down, as if trying to gauge whether Tu Mi's abilities were as impressive as her appearance.

Tu Mi gripped the iron bars with both hands, pressed her face against them, and stared intently at the prisoner in the cell. Her pale skin looked somewhat frightening against the dark iron bars as she asked, "Is it good?"

Tu Mi smiled gracefully at the old prisoner who hadn't answered her question, then turned to face the prisoners in the opposite building. "I'm very happy to meet like-minded friends here."

Tu Mi's elegant and pleasant words clearly reached the ears of every prisoner within the grid-shaped prison building.

The prisoners looked at Tu Mi. Although Tu Mi had a beautiful appearance, who knew what kind of evil heart was hidden beneath that appearance? In an instant, the noise of the prisoners gradually subsided.

After that, almost no prisoners dared to offend Tu Mi as she passed through each corridor. Of course, there were also some foolish and ignorant prisoners who overestimated themselves and tried to offend Tu Mi, and they all had their hands broken by Tu Mi. Some prisoners were even slapped several times. Because the slapping was done through the iron bars, after slapping several prisoners, Tu Mi's hands were slapped until they were bright red.

When they reached the fifth floor, only Tu Mi, a new prisoner, had not yet entered her cell. At this point, no prisoner dared to speak arrogantly to Tu Mi anymore. They simply watched her quietly as she climbed step by step to the higher floors until she reached the seventh floor.

The prison building has seven floors. The higher the floor, the greater the offender's power or the stronger their influence.

Led by the prison guard, Tu Mi walked to her cell. Instead of going in, she leaned on the iron bars and looked down at the prisoners on the seventh floor below. "Your words of welcome are still echoing in my ears. You should be very happy to have me here. I hope you will be the same in the future."

After speaking, Tu Mi turned and walked into her cell. The next second, she heard the sound of the iron gate being locked behind her.

Despite her seemingly emotionless demeanor, the prisoners on the first and second floors were still terrified and covered in cold sweat.

Tu Mi stood in the center of the cell and looked up to observe the layout of the entire cell. It was very simple. Inside, there were only two iron beds and a window about 20 centimeters high opposite the iron bars. Of course, this so-called window was also blocked by iron bars.

Tu Mi sat on the bed, shaking the iron chain on her wrist. For a moment, she was curious about how these prisoners bathed and changed clothes, and how inconvenient it must be to wipe their bottoms after defecating.

Noon

A piercing bell rang inside the prison building, and then Tu Mi heard the sound of her room's iron door being opened. "Dinner's ready."

The prisoners ate on the first floor of the prison building, which was half prison quarters and half canteen.

Tu Mi did not immediately go downstairs after leaving the room. Instead, she leaned over the iron railing with her elbows and looked down.

Three prisoners came down from the second floor on the left and right. Tu Mi narrowed her eyes. Two prisoners came down from the left, looking exactly alike, but with completely different temperaments. The prisoner who came down from the right was gentle and submissive. This person easily reminded Tu Mi of Yue Wuque, except that this prisoner's gentle face was different from Yue Wuque's gentleness.

Actually, it wasn't just these three prisoners coming downstairs; all the prisoners made way for them, so Tu Mi, who was in a high position, could see them at a glance.

Tu Mi pondered to himself that these three people were probably the ones he was trying to manipulate to gain emotional traction: the twin magicians and the prophet Bai Can.

Tu Mi frowned as he looked at the prisoners following behind the twins or Bai Can. Although he had a powerful backer in that world, the distance was too great to help someone in a nearby crisis. He could only grit his teeth and suffer the bullying on Devil Island.

At present, the most important thing is to recruit the capable people on Devil Island to his own team and build a team that can compete with the Twins and White Remnant.

Then, Tu Mi saw the leader of a group of prisoners on the first floor smile at him. Tu Mi narrowed his eyes, carefully discerning the smile, recalling the files he had previously reviewed. A slow smile crept onto his lips. "It's you, my teammate..."

This makes things a bit simpler.

The prisoners following behind Jiang Kui exchanged glances when they saw that he didn't move. Then one of the prisoners stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"

Jiang Kui had already withdrawn his gaze and said to the prisoner, "Go and get another serving of food."

The prisoner hesitated, "But...but the guards..."

Jiang Kui kicked the prisoner and said lazily, "Coward, just say that your brother Jiang is in a good mood today and wants to eat an extra portion."

The prisoner was kicked and scrambled to his feet by Jiang Kui, repeatedly replying, "Yes, yes, Brother Jiang."

If this prison is divided into two factions, one is the "good guys" led by the warden, and all the prisoners are the "bad guys." Within the bad guys faction, based on the number of followers, there are two main groups: the Twins' faction and the White Remnant's faction. Externally, the Twins and White Remnant unite against the warden; internally, they check and balance each other.

The alliances on Devil's Island differ from those of the powerful families in the previous world. In that world, all families aligned themselves with the five major families; otherwise, those on the periphery would be swallowed up by families protected by the other major families. On Devil's Island, besides the prisoners who joined the Twins and White Remnant, there were other factions of varying sizes, though none could compare to the Twins and White Remnant.
