"Hmm?"

    Su Qi couldn''t help but look back in the pitch-black Ripple passage. Although he couldn''t see anything, however...

    "I thought I just heard an extremely horrific scream."

    Was the endurance of that Flame Giant that bad?

    But it might also be an illusion.

    At this moment.

    The pulling force of the Ripples gradually made Su Qi descend towards a new world.

    Due to the Space Key that had been used to open the Ripples earlier, there was a terrifying energy fluctuation, and it seemed the Level of the next world was very high.

    According to Long Xun''s account.

    The space of the Dark Zone had the traits of being advanced and discontinuous, that is to say... the next world was always progressing toward the core.

    But you would never know which Space Fragment the next space would lead to or how far it was from the core of the Dark Zone.

    And this time.

    Su Qi could also see the light within the Ripple passage, indicating that the Level of this world was indeed high and the space was stable, not like other worlds filled with currents of Nihility.

    Su Qi heard strange, noisy sounds by his ear as he just stepped out of the Ripple passage.

    He instantly felt a powerful suppression.

    [Please note, player''s Skills, Equipment, and Item Bar have been sealed by a powerful force!]

    Su Qi wasn''t in a hurry; it wasn''t the first time he had encountered such a situation. The sealing back and forth made him feel like he was cheating.

    And what caught his sight was a silver-white prison, filled with peculiar forces and high-precision surveillance screens, with the constant ticking of mechanical sounds.

    Surrounding him were numerous infrared lasers, densely locked onto Su Qi.

    "Folks, who knows, just stepping outside and I''m already targeted by a bunch of infrared lines."

    Then a strong light burst forth from the prison cell''s holographic instruments, a red holographic shadow flickered on the screen, emitting dangerous and warning discovery with an indifferent mechanical voice.

    "Outsider, please do not act rashly."

    "Otherwise, you will be shot dead!"

    Dangerous and lethal energy lay dormant in hidden weapons, seemingly ready to burst at any moment.

    Su Qi also did not act rashly; the cold tone of the other side was clearly not a joke.

    Meanwhile.

    His gaze was observing everything around him.

    Everywhere seemed filled with fatal threats, and his arrival wasn''t surprising at all; all of the precautionary measures seemed to have been rehearsed countless times, very proficient.

    Lasers were engraving a nameplate.

    Su Qi noticed the numbers on it, 999999.

    "From now on, this series of numbers is your prison identity," the cold mechanical voice conveyed. "You can only leave this place after you complete all your obligatory work here."

    Su Qi made no movements as the nameplate was directly engraved into his arm like a tattoo.

    He looked at the numbers.

    "Quite the fancy number."

    After the nameplate was confirmed, the numerous lasers slowly retracted.

    And a beep sounded from within the cell.

    "It is now time for obligatory labor, proceed to the elevator immediately."

    The cold voice came through and the cell door opened.

    "Alright, thanks for the guidance."

    Su Qi stepped out from the room, although Skills, Equipment, and Item Bar were all sealed, including his Spiritual Energy was suppressed, but it wasn''t a big problem.

    Moreover. Sёarch* The n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    This world gave him a very familiar feeling.

    He entered the corridor.

    There were other rooms in the corridor, and Su Qi raised an eyebrow... some rooms still had fluctuations of Space Ripples.

    "Could it be..."

    The next moment.

    Many cells opened, and figures with slightly pale faces and a bit of dismay emerged, evidently having just been engraved with nameplates as ''Outsiders.''

    "Indeed."

    Su Qi looked at the surrounding cells.

    "The Level of this world is very high, and the Space Ripples are all under the control of the people of this world, so... all Outsiders who enter here."

    Then his gaze shifted to the nameplate.

    "Will become prisoners here and will also be engraved with such an identity nameplate."

    At this moment.

    A deep red light of danger emerged in the corridor.

    "No lingering in the corridor is allowed!"

    Including Su Qi, all six individuals immediately felt a surge of intense electrical current, accompanied by sharp pain, spreading instantly from the arm nameplate.

    The other five screamed in agony, attempting to use their Spiritual Energy to resist, but were suppressed.

    Su Qi''s eyes narrowed; he looked at his palm, as just a moment ago, he could have instantly used his Spiritual Energy to break through this thing.

    But...

    All the electric current was drawn to his palm, as if being absorbed and devoured.

    "When did I get... a diamond-shaped mark on my palm?"

    Su Qi squinted his eyes: "It wasn''t there before, could it be the reward for completing the red exclamation mark?"

    He didn''t explore further.

    Together with the other five, he entered the transport elevator.

    The five of them were very cautious, with one whispering, "Are you all from other Space Fragments?"

    "Yes, but I didn''t expect this world to seal everything, I can hardly use my Spiritual Energy."

    "What the hell kind of place is this."

    The five whispered amongst themselves.

    "Actually, you don''t have to be so quiet." Su Qi glanced at the nameplate on his arm. "This thing seems to be the product of some extraordinary technology, capable of monitoring our every word and deed anytime, anywhere, and also controlling our lives within it."

    The others looked solemnly at their own nameplates; indeed... the pain just now was heart-piercing, even able to affect the Spiritual Energy in their bodies, as if it could easily ignite and destroy them.

    "So, what do we do?"

    Someone clenched their fist: "Had I known, I would have resisted just now."

    "You couldn''t have." A flat-headed man beside him sighed softly: "Although they can limit Spiritual Energy and all sorts of items, the Special Ability traits of the sequence are not affected."
