The First Battle

Xu Gu, male.

Description: Important prisoner, No. I-053. Xu Gu was a "Congenital Joint Anomaly" with an intense destructive urge. Destroying things with his body gave him a sense of excitement. Xu Gu was a "deformed" child born through genetic crossbreeding. However, the deformity was not outwardly apparent; it affected his bones and joints.

In September 2085, Xu Gu's parents were found dead in their home, their bodies smashed beyond recognition with blunt weapons.

In October 2091, Xu Gu killed thirteen colleagues and eight customers at the hotel where he worked. They had been beaten to death with blunt weapons. He was suspected of having been ostracized and insulted by his colleagues before the murders, prompting the police to launch a manhunt.

In February 2092, Xu Gu's execution by hanging failed, and he was taken into custody by the Chana Empire High-Security Prison.

Containment measures:

The major joints in Xu Gu's body had to be fixed with at least ten seven-centimeter tungsten-steel nails each. His secondary joints had to be fixed with at least five identical tungsten-steel nails each, ensuring that none of the joints in his body could move.

Soothing music had to be played continuously for twenty-four hours every day to suppress Xu Gu's violent mood.

"Actually, the Chana Empire Prison has no reason to exist at all. The claim that his execution failed is obviously just a cover story.

"If these murderers truly threatened national security, the government could simply send ability users to kill them. The government is hiding this from the entire world and gathering all the special prisoners in this one prison. Its purpose should be similar to that of my Potential Institute: selecting and absorbing 'useful' talents from among them."

"The so-called Important Area is probably a reserve pool for government talent.
