Chapter 34: Secret Plots Inside Discipline Valley, people came and went in a constant stream, the noisy clamor filling the air without a moment's rest. From time to time, the sounds of fighting echoed through the narrow, time-worn corridors, which gave off an ancient, decaying stench. The prisoners and guards bustling about wore a variety of expressions: some were as numb and lifeless as walking corpses, while others were deeply worried, their brows furrowed as if plotting something in secret. This was simply the norm here—a place saturated with oppression and gloom, forever shrouded in an inescapable haze.
