After sending this batch of guilty recruits to prison, Yue Wen hurried over to the other location.
Gongsun Yan led the innocent newcomers onto another heavily armored vehicle and took them to a factory complex not far away. Surrounded by high walls and protected by tightly arranged formations, it was a sweatshop the Supernatural Affairs Bureau had previously busted.
A Demonic Cultivator had imprisoned a group of lesser demons who had fled in from the Wasteland Zone, forcing them to work day and night. If they slacked off, they were whipped, shocked with magical artifacts, and denied food and water. The lesser demons were sturdy, long-lived, and had no human rights, so they were ruthlessly exploited.
Later, one lesser demon had risked its life to escape and report the crime to the Supernatural Affairs Bureau. Only then had investigators come to shut down the factory and arrest the Demonic Cultivator.
In the Wasteland Zone, the lesser demons never had enough to eat and had to worry about dying at any moment. That was why they had wanted to escape into the city. Who knew falling into a capitalist's hands would be worse than death...
After their rescue, the whole batch had been deported back to the Demon Realm just recently. The factory had stood empty ever since, its disposition still pending. The original plan had been to auction it off through the courts for a capable company to take over, but now a new use had presented itself.
A heavily armored vehicle brought this batch of Flame Ghost Hall newcomers with no criminal experience here.
After getting out, they were told to wait outside the factory building. They looked around curiously, imagining what sort of brutal, perilous training they would soon undergo.
Before long, Yue Wen arrived from the prison.
