Saptanshu had just been detained in this prison, so he naturally was unaware of who was staying in cell 1. He looked at the vacant expressions on everyone's faces and asked aloud, "Why do all of you have such an expression? Do you think that there's no way Xiu is getting out of this place?"
Old Anji glanced at him and said, "Every prisoner being detained here is equal to a bird whose wings have been cut off, or a poisonous snake whose fangs have been broken and lost its freedom. Hence, Xiu is just making a joke. He won't be able to go out this cell 18 to have some exercise or fresh air. As for another reason, that cell in front is cell 1. There's only one path for those who enter it—death. Even the prison guards are no exception.
"No kidding. Is that cell holding some kind of monster or something?" asked Saptanshu incredulously.
"It's not a monster," replied Old Anji. "It's a devil."
