This is a cell, dim and shadowy. The air is thick with the smell of mildew.

A lone figure sat immersed in the darkness, their expression serene and tranquil, as unruffled as ancient well water, like a Buddha statue.

The cell had nothing, not even another person to speak to. Day after day, year after year, until death came. Many prisoners chose suicide out of despair.

But this person didn't give up. He was waiting for an opportunity.

Just then, the first rays of dawn pierced through a palm-sized hole in the wall, casting a hazy light into the room. It was like a holy lance breaking through the darkness that imprisoned him, enveloping him in its warmth and sanctity. His hair was bathed in golden hues, his very being radiating the divine glow of a Buddha on the brink of enlightenment.

Suddenly, this person opened their eyes, as if having reached enlightenment like the Buddha, coming back to life. The dark prison cell seemed to brighten along with them!

"Dinner's ready!" As if expected, a cold voice came from outside the door, followed by a plate being passed through the iron bars and placed on the ground.

The corner of his shadow twitched slightly, the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived!

He stood up and calmly walked out of the darkness, slowly revealing his whole figure. He was somewhat thin, not very old, just a young man.

He glanced at the plate on the ground. There was a bowl of white rice and a dish of green vegetables, simple and plain, with nothing extra. But for a criminal who had gone without food all night, it was a feast. He picked up the bowl of rice and ate slowly, savoring every grain.

Outside the iron gate, two guards stared intently at John. Their hands rested on their swords, ever ready to defend. They watched his every move, like they were guarding a ferocious beast, even though that beast was now caged.

After a long while, Nian finally finished his meal and passed the plate, but the dish of greens remained untouched. He had only eaten a bowl of white rice.

Then, years melted back into darkness, all was so peaceful.

The two jailbirds finally breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed their plates, and scurried out of there like they couldn't wait to get away.

The man walked back into the dark depths and sat down again. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his delicate face.

The next moment, he made a move — his palm went down, open, with a slight exhale.

At that instant, a tiny grain of rice lightly landed on the palm of his hand.

This grain of rice was so ordinary, identical to millions of others, hidden within that bowl of rice. It had been scanned by three machines, monitored by five prison guards, and finally, under the watchful eyes of two officers, eaten by Nian. Yet, Nian left it between his teeth, refusing to swallow it.

Because the taste of this grain was a little different, he didn't eat the dish of seasoned greens to prevent the flavors from mixing.

This grain of rice is a symbol. Many people worked together for a long time, implemented many plans, and finally allowed this grain of rice to break through all the blockades and reach his hand.

He picked up the grain of rice with his finger and twisted it gently.

That grain of rice instantly shattered, revealing a paper parcel the size of a sesame seed!

Nian smiled faintly, her long fingers lightly tracing the paper ball. It was a gentle touch, the force even, like she was caressing a sensitive part of someone's body.

After a long while, the paper strip seemed to reach its limit and finally unfurled, transforming into a piece of paper even smaller than a fingernail. Nian took a deep breath and brought the paper strip close to his eyes, scrutinizing it intently.

There was only one word on the note -- "Bird".

This year's brow furrowed, in the darkness a pause, as if a contemplative sage pondering the meaning of this "bird" character.

A bird can generally have two meanings, one is and the other is a kind of .

It's quite coincidental that the year has this kind of thing. He thought about it for a long time, and finally, with a hint of doubt, a guess, and a hesitation, he gently pulled open his

zipper and looked down.

In the darkness, his bird huddled quietly, its shape well-behaved and its posture endearingly stiff, with nothing out of the ordinary.

This year, Zǐ Chóng tightened his brow once more, his eyes furrowed in deep thought.

This "bird" character obviously isn't referring to... the only explanation is.

"Poof! Poof! Poof!" A faint sound suddenly came from the small opening in Gao's mouth.

That kind of sound was very faint, almost as quiet as the sound of a moth's wings. If you didn't have acute hearing, you wouldn't be able to detect this sound.

Of course, he had heard of the year. He raised his head and looked at that little mouth.

That small opening, a bird smaller than a sparrow, was flying in rapidly, flapping its wings. It held a small ring in its long beak.

Looking at the little ring, Nian froze. His whole being was stilled as he gazed upwards, his eyes gradually welling with tears.

No one knows how many people sacrificed, how many weeks of planning, and how many times they carefully tried before finally getting this little bird to fly in front of him!

This prison, known as Rose Prison, also has another title -- the world's number one prison.

This year, the name Huang Yi is making headlines. He also has another title -- the number one criminal in Rose Prison.

Rosewood Prison holds the world's most intelligent criminals, a collection of super hackers, political power brokers, nuclear experts, financial tycoons, and top assassins... To contain these lunatics, Rosewood employs the world's most stringent security measures, severing any contact between inmates and the outside world!

Rose Garden Prison is located on a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean. It is surrounded by vast seas, with patrol ships constantly patrolling from ten nautical miles away, 24 hours a day. The island itself is impassable, with guards every five steps and sentries every ten. No outsider is allowed to enter the entire island, not even for visits. The only way to break through this layer of security is to enter from the air!

The second layer of defense in the Rose Prison is the metal detection zone. Any time metal flies overhead, even a piece the size of a fingernail, it will trigger an attack, isolating all man-made flight. The only way to get through this layer is if you're a bird or an insect!

The third layer of defense in Rose Prison is a birdcage, with the entire prison surrounded by three layers of strict birdcages. This birdcage is ten times stricter than the one at Charles de Gaulle Airport in France, with holes only 5 centimeters wide, allowing only small insects such as moths, butterflies, and flies to enter!

And the Rose Prison book is a dangerous area. To prevent criminals from escaping, the prison has various traps set up throughout, which will attack anyone passing through them differently. Only small, non-threatening insects are allowed to enter and exit the entire prison!

Even insects would not fly to the Rose Prison, because its building materials are mixed with cinnabar stone from the island's rich veins. And this golden-hued cinnabar stone is the natural enemy of serpent worms!

It can be said that Huang Yi is in a state of isolation from the world. It is almost impossible for outsiders to get in touch with him, let alone send something to him!

But nature is magical, it has nurtured millions of unique creatures, among them is a very special type of bird -- the hummingbird!

The hummingbird is the smallest and lightest species of hummingbird, weighing only 2 grams, about the same as a moth. It's so inconspicuous that even when detected, it's easily mistaken for an insect. However, it possesses abilities that many insects and birds lack.

Hummingbirds are the only birds that can hover and fly backward, which allows them to navigate through complex obstacles in the rose garden.

What is most important is that hummingbirds have the strongest memory of all birds and insects. After being artificially domesticated, they can accurately locate the cell containing yellow in thousands of cells in Rose Prison after passing through it, and put something into that cell.

This is a masterpiece of nature, and also an angel in Huang Yi's eyes.

Just then, the hummingbird seemed to be trained beforehand. As it loosened its grip, it dropped the little ring.

Huang Yi immediately took action, steadily catching the small ring in his hand.

Just like any other goods from the outside world, it has ended up in this isolated prison cell!

At this moment, there are ten billion stories happening in the world, and this is just one of them.

But this story holds the meaning of changing the world.
