"Bingo!"
The clown successfully found information about Guan Ran on a bookshelf roughly one-third of the way into the building. There were nine books in total, containing detailed records of Guan Ran's imprisonment within the Abyss of Ten Thousand Sins.
"Each sinner's daily life in the abyss is briefly recorded. If anything unusual happens, there will be a more detailed account. Nine books aren't much, which means this fellow was relatively well-behaved inside the Abyss of Ten Thousand Sins."

Zhang Chen took the nine books and quickly skimmed through their contents. Just as the clown had said, they contained nothing but dull, uneventful records. Guan Ran appeared quite resigned to being imprisoned here and was also rather solitary, barely interacting with anyone else.
However, during Guan Ran's several centuries of imprisonment, two special incidents had received detailed records.
Over a hundred years ago and again eighty years ago, he had respectively killed two sinners who originally belonged to the Chaos Realm. According to the records, the Abyss of Ten Thousand Sins had different levels of sin. The sinners Guan Ran killed had both possessed greater sins than he did, causing his own sin level to rise and resulting in his imprisonment at a deeper level.
