—------------------—
Deep within the dungeon of Wuhun City.
It was dark, damp, and reeked of a foul stench of mold and blood. On either side of the corridor were rows of cells separated by iron bars, the dim oil lamps casting flickering, ghostly shadows on the walls.
Holding Qian Renxue’s warrant, Jiang Bai proceeded unimpeded.
The warden was a short, stout middle-aged man with a small mustache and small, shrewd eyes. He followed Jiang Bai, bowing and scraping, and asked obsequiously ,"Sir, is there anything... I can do for you?"
Jiang Bai stopped, surveyed his surroundings , and asked ,"Could you prepare two cells for me? They need to be opposite each other, so I can clearly see the other side through the iron bars."
The warden’s eyes darted around. Although he didn’t understand what this important figure holding the papal decree was up to, he wisely refrained from asking further questions.
"Yes, yes, yes! Please come with me, sir!"
He led Jiang Bai to the deepest part of the dungeon. It was quieter and cleaner here than the other places.
Two cells stood facing each other, separated by a three-meter-wide corridor. The thick iron bars, as thick as an arm, were polished to a gleaming shine, and through the gaps in the bars, one could clearly see everything inside the opposite cell.
"Sir, what do you think of these two rooms?"The warden rubbed his hands together, smiling obsequiously.
Jiang Bai looked it over and nodded in satisfaction :"Excellent, absolutely excellent."
He paused, leaned closer to the warden, and whispered a few words.
The warden , after listening, was taken aback at first, then a knowing smile appeared on his face, and he nodded repeatedly :"Understood! Understood! Don’t worry, sir, I’ll take care of it right away!"
"I guarantee I’ll arrange everything perfectly for you!"
After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly, his footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.
Jiang Bai pushed open the door of one of the cells and went inside.
The cell was very simple, containing only a stone bed, a toilet, and some dry straw piled in the corner. A faint musty smell permeated the air.
He flipped his right hand, and the nine-colored glazed pagoda appeared in his palm.
The tower shimmered with light , and a beam of icy blue light shot out, landing in the center of the cell.
As the light faded, a nearly three-meter-tall, crystal-clear ice sculpture appeared on the ground.
Inside the ice sculpture, a person is frozen solid.
Bibi Dong.
Her papal robes were tattered, revealing gruesome wounds beneath. Dark purple blood congealed in the ice, like an eerie decoration.
Her eyes were wide open, her pupils filled with horror, anger, and... a hint of fear that she herself was unwilling to admit.
Jiang Bai walked around the ice sculpture, examining it carefully.
Very good, the ice seal is intact. Bibi Dong’s bones are broken in many places, him internal organs are severely damaged, and her soul power is completely sealed. At this moment, she cannot even move a finger.
Just to be on the safe side, Jiang Bai raised his hand and set up a spatial restriction around the cell.
After doing all this, he walked out of the cell, locked the iron gate, and left.
Fifteen minutes later, the warden returned with several guards.
They were also holding several people captive.
Leading the way were four burly men. Each was over 1.9 meters tall, with bulging muscles, menacing faces, and an aura of menace. They wore tattered prison uniforms and were shackled, but their fierce eyes made them clearly not to be trifled with.
Following behind was a middle-aged man wearing a tattered black robe, with a messy beard and a crew cut.
His face was deathly pale, his lips were purple, and he was trembling all over. He was none other than Yu Xiaogang, who had just been thawed and released from the Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda.
The warden understood and directed the guards to escort the four burly men into the cell opposite Bibi Dong’s , locking the door with a clang.
Then, he personally escorted Yu Xiaogang to the door of that cell.
"Go inside!"
The warden kicked Yu Xiaogang in the butt, sending him flying into his cell, and then quickly locked the door.
"Brothers ,"the warden said to the four burly men inside through the iron bars ,"this is the new guy, you... take good care of him."
He emphasized the word"take care"and gave a meaningful smile :"Remember, don’t mess things up."
the four burly men’s eyes lit up simultaneously!
They looked Yu Xiaogang up and down, slumped on the ground trembling, like hungry wolves eyeing a plump lamb.
"Hehehe..."The burly man at the head grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth."Warden , don’t worry, we brothers know what we’re doing!"
The warden nodded, said no more, and led the guards away quickly, their footsteps soon disappearing at the end of the corridor.
Inside the cell, only four burly men remained , along with Bibi Dong, who was depicted in an ice sculpture opposite them.
Oh, and Yu Xiaogang too.
Yu Xiaogang had just thawed from his frozen state, and his body was cold and weak, with all his soul power gone.
He slumped to the ground, staring at the four burly men who had surrounded him. His hair stood on end, and his voice trembled :"What... what do you want?!"
The burly man at the head of the group stepped forward, squatted down, and patted Yu Xiaogang’s face.
"Little brother, don’t be afraid ~"
His voice was rough , with an uncomfortably sticky quality :"My name is A-Jie, you can call me Brother Jie."
"Come on, tell Brother Jie, what’s your name? What did you do to get here?"
Yu Xiaogang trembled all over and shrank back :"I... my name is Yu Xiaogang... I... I didn’t commit a crime... I’ve been framed..."
"Innocent?"Brother Jie laughed, revealing a set of yellow teeth."Everyone who comes in here claims to be innocent."
He reached out and put his arm around Yu Xiaogang’s shoulder, pulling him into his embrace :"But it’s alright, since we’re here, it must be fate."
"Let Brother Jie take good care of you..."
"No... let me go... what are you going to do?!"Yu Xiaogang struggled in terror, but his weak body was no match for Brother Jie.
The prison cell across the street.
Inside the ice sculpture, Bibi Dong stared intently at the other side of the iron fence!
Her pupils contracted sharply, and it felt as if all the blood in her body rushed to her head!
Xiao Gang?! That’s Xiao Gang?! What are they going to do to Xiao Gang?!
No--!!!
She screamed wildly in her heart, but her body was frozen and her soul power was sealed, so she couldn’t even make a sound.
She could only watch helplessly as the man she had loved and longed for her entire life was surrounded by four filthy prisoners!
Brother Jie’s hands started to wander , groping Yu Xiaogang’s body.
"Come, let me see..."
"don’t want--!!!"
Yu Xiaogang let out a shrill scream and struggled frantically.
But three other burly men surrounded him and pinned down his hands and feet.
The sounds of tearing, struggling, crying, and snarling... all blended together like a symphony of hell.
The opposite cell, inside the ice sculpture.
Bibi Dong’s eyes were wide open, almost bursting out of their sockets! Her pupils were bloodshot, and tears mixed with frost froze in her eye sockets.
She watched as Yu Xiaogang was pinned to the ground, watched his clothes being torn to shreds, watched those four filthy beasts ...
No!!!
Xiao Gang... my Xiao Gang —!!!
Building...!!
