Chapter 2 First Inmate
In the Extreme North Prison, inmates were divided into four levels: S, A, B, and C. All were convicts with heinous crimes. Even the lowest C-level were notorious serial killers. S-level were far worse.
The man in the file had a shaved head and dark eyes. Fu Yanan, former Empire general, had meritorious service but vanished four years ago. He was imprisoned for treason.
I took a deep breath and opened the cell door. It was dark and the light was broken. The beam of my flashlight fell on a chair where a handsome pale man was tied up, wearing a bite gag.
This thing was only used on extremely aggressive inmates.
Ignoring the stare glued to me since I entered, I cleared my throat. "Fu Yanan, I am your new Correction Officer. I am Ji Shutong."
He said nothing, but his eyes scanned my body in a way that felt sticky and evil.
I shivered.
I heard him muttering something. Leaning closer, I caught the words: "I will tear your clothes apart and press you under the spaceship, hard..."
My face flushed from pale to red at the filthy language.
"Fu Yanan, shut up!" I roared.
He ignored me. His expression grew more lascivious. The humiliation shifted from the spaceship to the Warden's office.
In a fit, I jabbed his neck with the stun baton I carried.
Fu Yanan's veins bulged and his eyes filled with blood.
I thought he would stop: "Everything you do is under my supervision, so you will respect me..."
Before I finished, Fu Yanan laughed. The sound was eerie in the dark.
The next second, he rushed toward me with the chair that could not be moved.
"Ah!"
I was pinned down by Fu Yanan. Our chests pressed tightly together. He smiled by my ear. "So soft..."
My mind went blank. I did not know what to do. The cell door slammed open.
Warden Shang Xu stood at the door with a blank expression.
