Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic One - A Sober Fall

As Jiang Kui dressed, he whispered, "Young Master Tu, prisoners on Devil's Island kill each other. If one dies, the other will be imprisoned in solitary confinement for three days. I've heard that solitary confinement is terrifying. You should be careful."

Tu Mi put on her prison uniform, her brows furrowed. The solitary confinement cell... a dark, closed cage where time seemed to stand still and life was nowhere to be felt, severely testing the prisoners' will and spirit.

Tu Mi led Jiang Kui and a group of prisoners out of the changing room. Standing outside the door, the prison guards re-chained them.

After parting ways with Jiang Kui, Tu Mi entered her cell, and with a "bang," the door was locked by the prison guard.

After the prison guard locked the cell door, Tu Mi sat quietly on the edge of the bed with her eyes closed, tapping her thigh with her fingers and silently counting the passing time. After a while, Tu Mi slightly opened her eyes and looked outside the cell. The three hours of taking a shower had passed, and now all the prisoners had returned to their cells, including the twins and Bai Can. Most of the lights in the prison building were turned off, with only a few essential lights still working.

A soft footstep sounded from outside the dimly lit cell. Tu Mi lifted her leg and lay back on the bed. The footsteps gradually approached, then receded again...

Tu Mi slowly sat up, trying her best to keep the chains on her wrists and ankles from rattling. Then she gently stepped to the small window, put her palm to her lips, and the next second a rolled-up piece of paper appeared in Tu Mi's palm.

Tu Mi opened the note and struggled to read its contents by the moonlight. Before the next guard patrol, she tossed the note into the toilet, flushed quickly, and then quietly returned to her bed.

This little note was secretly given to Tu Mi by Jiang Kui at noon. Tu Mi hid the note in her mouth under the pretense of eating. Of course, this note was not an ordinary piece of paper, otherwise, after staying in Tu Mi's mouth for so long, the writing inside would have been illegible.

During the day, Tu Mi didn't look around because she had to be constantly vigilant about the twins and Bai Can, since these three were the subjects of her observation. Moreover, there were prison guards patrolling the prison building at all times, which meant that Tu Mi had to be vigilant not only about the other prisoners on the seventh floor but also about the prison guards.

[Emotional fluctuations: Twins +2 +3 +3, Total: 8]

White Remnant +2 +1, Total: 3

Tu Mi lay in bed, looking at the steel plate above her head and listening to the system's announcement, wondering: Why are the twins' emotional fluctuations exactly the same? Could it be because Wu Xing and Wu Zhou are telepathically connected?

8:00 AM the next morning

Tu Mi arrived outside the prison building, in the area where prisoners were usually allowed to exercise, holding a piece of paper in her hand.

There was a platform in front of the open space. A prison guard stood on the platform and shouted, "Begin!"

Tu Mi held a piece of paper in her hand, her eyes glazed over as she read the contents, mumbling incoherently. Tu Mi never imagined that the infamous Devil's Island prison would require waking up at eight o'clock for morning reading!

In the dim light, Tu Mi heard what sounded like a prisoner behind her saying, "Waaaaah, why did I commit a crime? I don't want to die so early, waaaaah..."

Taking advantage of the prison guards' inattention, Jiang Kui slowly approached Tu Mi. When he got close, he nudged Tu Mi with his elbow.

Tu Mi felt something strange in his arm, raised the paper in his hand to cover his face, and turned his head to look to the side. Jiang Kui? His eyes asked: What are you doing?

Jiang Kui's gaze lingered on Tu Mi's head for a few seconds, then his expression turned grave. "The prisoner you beat yesterday is dead."

Tu Mi frowned: "Dead?"

Jiang Kui nodded, agreeing.

Tu Mi's first reaction was that it was impossible; the prisoner he had knocked unconscious yesterday couldn't be dead. He had controlled his strength well at the time, and although the scene was bloody, it didn't actually kill him.

Jiang Kui carefully observed Tu Mi's expression, and based on his past experience of beating people, he realized that although Tu Mi had beaten the prisoner's head until it bled, it only looked horrifying. In reality, the back of the prisoner's head was not injured at all; only his forehead was injured. This prisoner should not die no matter what.

Tu Mi lowered his gaze; someone was plotting against him in the shadows!

Over there, the twins leaned against each other, face to face, body to body, and fell asleep standing up with their eyes closed.

Bai Can closed his eyes, glancing indifferently at Tu Mi, who was whispering to Jiang Kui. Recalling what he had just overheard, he slightly curled his lips. Who framed Tu Mi? Was it the twins? Other prisoners on the seventh floor or below who harbored rebellious thoughts? Or...? Bai Can's eyes deepened like vortexes, or...? The new warden? If it was the warden who did it, then his previous hints had not been in vain.

The prison guard on the platform shouted, "Quiet!"

The prisoners below the stage fell silent instantly. Even the twins opened their eyes and looked at the stage. Tu Mi also put down the paper she was holding and looked up at the stage.

A group of prison guards made way for Song Han, who stepped out and stood at the center of the stage. His cold eyes swept over all the prisoners below as he announced, "Today, a prisoner died in the prison. Whoever killed him, confess now or be put in solitary confinement!" After speaking, Song Han's gaze seemed to fall on Tu Mi in the audience.

Tu Mi withdrew his gaze. Anyway, it wasn't him who killed the person, so what did it have to do with him? However... the person who framed him would definitely put all the blame on him. He probably didn't kill the prisoner, but in front of everyone, the prisoner's death could only be attributed to him.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Kui beside him and asked, "Is there a toilet in the solitary confinement cell? Is there food?"

Jiang Kui looked back at Tu Mi, stared at it for a moment, and then organized his thoughts. "Guess why it's called the Confinement Room?"

It means: the solitary confinement room is just a closed, dark box.

Tu Mi withdrew her gaze with a slight hint of regret. She thought to herself, "Tsk, this makes things complicated. Killing someone on Devil's Island and being locked up for three days, eating, drinking, and relieving oneself inside—no one could endure that."

As for Song Yi's words, "If you don't confess, you will be punished with three days of confinement," even if Tu Mi confesses, he still can't escape the punishment of three days of confinement. Moreover, Tu Mi did not kill anyone, but he has not found the person behind the plot. The prisoners and guards will only think that he killed him, which is annoying.

Tu Mi stepped out from among the prisoners, approached the platform, her head neither bowed nor raised, and said, "Warden, I killed him."

Jiang Kui stared wide-eyed at Tu Mi's retreating figure. Wait, what was Tu Mi doing?! Was that a place for a human to stay in solitary confinement?!

Song Han turned his gaze to Tu Mi, the coldness in his eyes softening. "It's good that you were able to confess your guilt."

He added, "Arrest him and lock him up for three days." As he spoke, Song Han gestured with his white-gloved hand.
