Prison.
The prison is organised in sectors, depending on the seriousness of the crimes committed by the prisoners. Each sector has different levels of comforts and rights.
Although the others could force him to not make use of violent punishments for the prisoners, they simply couldn't expect him to grant much more than that. He wants his prison to be a place of punishment, not a low cost inn.
The cells are rather small and only made of a simple and uncomfortable bed without blanket, a chamber pot and a tiny furniture where the inmates can keep their clothes. The cells are for one person only, as he doesn't want prisoners to share cell and accept all the risks involved with the practice.
The prisoners are never allowed outside in the open, until it's the day for their release. The only form of entertainment is reading, but all the books are about law, justice and the gods.
Inmates are allowed to wash once every three days and although the showers are common, they are taken there in small groups and monitored especially closely, not even being allowed to interact among each others in that particular moment.
The only time where prisoners are allowed some quiet interactions is during meals. They have three per day, but extremely basic and poor, only meant to keep them alive, not to give them even the slightest joy or pleasure.
Re-education processes are made in small groups, depending on various factors, like the crimes, the age, the background the inmates come from… all in all, not a very desirable place to be.
Even meetings with families are only allowed once per month and of course, no conjugal meetings of sort are allowed. What could they expect from a 6000 years old virgin.

He and ZhongLi explore the underground tunnels for a long time, but they are seemingly infinite, a labyrinth of tunnels that, at least for what appears, could even cover the entire underground of whole Nortrig. They don't have the time to stay for too long, also due to the fact at one point the ties that connect then to the pillar outside the forest reaches its maximum stretch. They also risk to waste centuries in that timeless place without realise and they can't leave everything in the hands of the young demigods alone.
They find some strange clues, including some that were left by WonPil himself, but they need to be studied and figured out to be understood. The mystery gets thicker every time they try to uncover it, but everything seems to point out to three main factors: WonPil, the Book and things that are alien to the world.
When they leave the eerie forest, ZhongLi receives a message on his phone from Chan, that was sent hours before and states that Skylar fled on Earth with someone and they are going to look for him.
When they are done in the forest, Ziqun tells ZhongLi that he intends to visit Hoseok and see if he can bring him to their side too, since he was present when WonPil died and might give them some extra details on what exactly happened in that forest back then.
They both return to Guiji before parting ways.

☠️☠️☠️
The first, long and exhausting day of training comes to its end. Most of it happened under the heavy rain, but Ziqun certainly didn't let it be an excuse to take a break or slow down.
The young demigods are destroyed and that was just the first day.
In the late afternoon, they are finally allowed to take a shower, wear dry clothes and eat dinner all together.
The only one who seems in a good mood is Cyno, it's as if he had fun during that day and also the only one trying to talk, during dinner, while Chan doesn't say a word and just eats.
After KiNo and WooPil leave the room, before sending the demigods to sleep, Ziqun decides to start having a conversation about the strategies. They have to make a proper one to fight Gurax and he is finally about to reveal them what he knows about it.

Training.
The first day of training starts at dawn. Ziqun literally throws all the young demigods off their beds and drag them outside, without even letting them have something for breakfast.
He is a nightmarish trainer, who also doesn't realise the need of the young demigods and that things, in the world of the living, don't work the same way as in the Halls.
If it was for Ziqun, they would train every moment from dawn to dusk, but ZhongLi probably balances him and allows the guys some rest and meals.
The training officially ends in the late afternoon.

Zivhur.
Zivhur's palace and throne is like a colder and creepier version of Ziqun's residence. Definitely not the place where a soul would like to appear, after dying.
Zivhur's behaviour is somewhat less rigid than Ziqun's, which enforces the need of the Demigod to have a holiday in the world of the living.
The God accepts to answer their questions, although he doesn't promise he will tell them everything clearly or all the truth, but he wont lie.
- What is that entity after wooPil?
Gurax belongs to a kin that once was not much different from that of us Gods.
He clashed against Fiared, losing his physical form upon defeat.
He is classified as a cosmic threat of second level, meaning Zimox aren't able to deal with him.
(He doesn't specify how to defeat him, because Ziqun knows already and he, of course, doesn't give a word for free without being asked.)
- What does the entity want from WooPil?
The mortal you mention has received a divine duty and what Gurax wants is connected to that.
All that you need to know is that WooPil must not fall into Gurax hands, nor any others', again.
- What's the seal on WooPil's soul?
The seal was cast upon his soul by Divine Power and Will, thence you needn't ask further. (They couldn't really expect better from him.)
- Why can WooPil safely access the Halls, despite being a living mortal?
It's time for you to return to the world. Ziqun will come with you and assist the youngest demigods in their cultivation. Until you'll all be ready to face Gurax. (In other words, "that's the door, close it after you leave and bring this dude with you". XD)
When they return to Ziqun's residence to get the others before to return to Nortrig, they find a few Zimox gathered outside and kind of spying from the windows. Since Zimox have no will of feelings of their own, it's safe to think that they are there because their Gods are curious or would like to be there and can't. There are Zimox of Isseiner, Jeisin, Tifiul and Jihala.
Inside the residence, two women are in the living hall, with WooPil.
One is a kitsune of seven tails, who is holding tiny WooPil in the palms of her hands joined together, staring at him with a smile. WooPil is curled up, asleep, while hugging something in his arms.
The other, far bigger, woman is actually Ashiiha, one goddess who can travel pretty safely anywhere in the Halls, since there is not a god of Sterility yet. XD
Ashiiha approaches the Demigods - they all are her grandsons except Chan who is her great-grandson. She smiles and stops to hug Morax first, whispering to his ear, in a very affable and loving tone: «Welcome back, my dear». She hugs all the others too and remains close to them to buy some extra time for Stardew to cuddle her son. If they have anything to tell of ask Ashiiha, they can.
