Chapter 109: The Prisoner and the Tick
It was as if the whole person had left the deep sea, and the moment the top of his head had just poked out of the water, Ji Yuan slowly opened his eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was darkness in front of him, Ji Yuan was subconsciously stunned, and with a movement of his wrist, there was a sound of chains in the darkness. Only then did Ji Yuan feel that his hands and feet were firmly imprisoned by iron chains, and the whole person was firmly tied to a cross, unable to move.
And this is just a physical restraint, there is obviously a prohibition in Ji Yuan's body, countless rune chains surround the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and the center of his eyebrows is also shrouded in a black cloud. With a slight movement of Yuan Li, the rune chains contracted desperately as if they had taken a stimulant, and countless pinprick-like stinging pains came from the hundreds of bones around him, Ji Yuan couldn't help but sizzle in a cool breath, and his brows furrowed deeply.
Stimulated by the pain, Ji Yuan calmed down a little and suddenly recalled what had happened before he fell into a coma. The Gattuso family! Randall is a member of the Gattuso family! Ji Yuan was shocked.
But didn't Randall just come back from outside today? Could it all have been planned by the Gattuso family? Ji Yuan only really recognized the strength and action of the wealthy family at this moment, and he still underestimated the nobles of another world too much.
Thinking about it this way, everything that happened before can be matched, first the "no such person" incident at the city gate, and this incident happened to be settled by Randall, and then came to Maple Leaf Castle to clash with Carmen, and now it seems that the few words Randall said at that time were very meaningful. The common goal of these two things is to make Ji Yuan unable to stay in the Maple Leaf Knights, without the identity of the Maple Leaf Knight, wouldn't Ji Yuan, who has been reduced to a civilian, be kneaded by the Gattuso family?
"Squeak", the darkness was suddenly broken by a glimmer of light, through the faint light, Ji Yuan finally saw the environment he was in, a small stone house, empty walls, it seemed a little empty.
The door opened, and a person entered the stone house with a lamp, and Ji Yuan, who was squinted slightly by the light, clearly saw that it was Randall.
Randall approached Ji Yuan with a lamp, and when he saw Ji Yuan staring at him expressionlessly, he was stunned at first, and then chuckled.
"Second Lieutenant Ji, you're awake." Randall gently placed the lamp at his feet.
"You're from the Gattuso family."
"That's right! That's right! Randall looked like he took it for granted, "Are you happy with what I say?" β
"You're not afraid that the Maple Leaf Knights will come to your door?" Ji Yuan said expressionlessly.
"I'm afraid! Why not be afraid? Randall wondered, "It's a big crime to kidnap the Maple Leaf Knight!" If you catch it, you'll lose your head! β
"But," Randall said, "no one seems to know about it, does it?" Thanks to Ensign Ji for cooperating with my work! Randall chuckled.
"You guys were all playing tricks on the city gate and the duel before, right?"
Randall smiled when he heard this, and spread his hands and said, "That's right, Second Lieutenant Ji is right." After saying that, he groaned slightly, and said, "I will be merciful and let you die a little more clearly." β
"This matter has to start this morning, the moment the regiment commander issued the conscription order, I received a notice from the top to hurry back to Lorendi, you must know that I have been a ranger for several months before, and I have to thank you Ensign Ji for returning to Lorendi!" Randall's hearty smile seemed distorted by the light and darkness.
Seeing that Ji Yuan didn't react, Randall pursed his lips and continued: "Although the people at the city gate were not arranged by us, but the query system about your information was done by us, and the situation was also developing in the direction that was originally expected, you and the city guards really clashed, but what we didn't expect was that you actually mastered the sword intent, and relied on the sword intent to forcibly deter many city guards, but let you escape." I don't know what the intelligence officers are eating, and I don't even know that you have the sword intent. β
"Carmen is also one of yours?" Ji Yuan asked in a deep voice.
"Carmen? That stupid big guy? Of course not. Randall's tone was disdainful.
Randall was about to continue speaking, when the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, and a person walked in quickly, and by the light, Ji Yuan recognized this person as Dre Gattuso at a glance.
Dre first walked towards Ji Yuan, looked at it carefully, and then said to Randall with a smile: "Good job, no one found out, right?" β
"Young Master Qiqi, no one has seen it." Randall said respectfully.
"Good! Good! Good! Drey shouted three times in a row and patted Randall on the shoulder, "Very good, what's your name?" β
"Randall, the subordinate is called Randall."
"Okay, Randall, this is a good work, so I'll say it's what I said." Dre was satisfied.
Randall was shocked, and said with great joy: "My subordinates, thank you for the young master's gift!" "It seems that this so-called merit seems to be something remarkable.
Dre bowed his head slightly, "Well, you go down." β
"Yes!" Randall saluted respectfully, and glanced at Ji Yuan as he got up, his eyes as if he were looking at a dead man.
After Randall left, Dre walked slowly towards Ji Yuan, his expression seemed to be calm.
"Ji Yuan, Second Lieutenant Ji, I invited you here this time because I want to ask you some questions, I wonder if Second Lieutenant Ji can fulfill my wish?" Dre said nonchalantly.
"Say!" Ji Yuan said coldly.
Derui didn't think it was upset and chuckled, "Who the hell is Second Lieutenant Ji?" And for whom? β
"I am who I am, I don't play for anyone, I live only for myself."
Drey's face changed when he heard this, and he snorted coldly, "Say!" Are you a Faceless or an Aragon? Is all this controlled by the Faceless Ones behind the scenes? Why were you recruited by Arragon into the Knights of the Maple Leaf? β
"I don't know."
"Don't know?" Drey's face changed, the brilliance on his hand flashed, a magic wand appeared, and two ice picks flew out one after another with the movement of his lips, piercing Ji Yuan's hands with precision.
When the pain hit, Ji Yuan couldn't help but snort, his face turned white, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"How's that, now you know?" Dre said lightly, and reached out to touch the ice pick stuck in the cross, and the shock made the pain even worse. Blood trickled down the ice picks, and soon the white ice picks turned blood red, and the ice picks looked particularly strange and bloody in the light.
DΓ©rew took two steps back, looked up and down, and seemed pleased with his "masterpiece".
"How? Does Ensign Ji know the answer now? Dre repeated.
Ji Yuan closed his eyes, and a burst of intense pain went straight to his mind along the nerves in his arm, ignoring Drey.
Seeing Ji Yuan's reaction, Dre sneered, raised his wand, and tried to use magic again with his lips closed.
"Knock knock." Suddenly there were three knocks outside the door.
Dre stopped chanting the incantation, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" β
"Young Master Qiyu, the patriarch has an order to order all the family descendants to hurry back to the manor."
Drello groaned, obviously the family convening order was more important, so he could only say unwillingly: "Untouchables! If you're lucky, I'll let you go this time. With that, the lantern walked out of the room, and the door slammed shut again, and the room was dark again.
After the initial sharp pain, the pain of the wound was somewhat reduced by the low temperature of the ice pick, but the blood still trickled down the ice pick and the ice water, and the sound of ticking echoed in the empty and silent room.
Ji Yuan opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and tried to mobilize Yuan Force to break through the rune chains in his body. Yuan Li rushed out from the dantian, and rushed straight to the dense rune chains along the eight veins of the Qi Jing, but the chains sensed the breath of Yuan Li, but instead contracted more forcefully, and the meridians were tightened and deformed by the chains, and there were bursts of severe pain.
"Phew!" Ji Yuan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly calmed down Yuan Li. If this continues, I am afraid that before Yuan Li breaks through the obstacles, he will die due to the broken meridians, and it seems that this road will not work. I don't know what method the people of the Gattuso family used, and their spiritual power was also blocked, so they couldn't contact the Sword Master and Raven at all.
System! System! Ji Yuan tried to call the system, but no matter how he shouted, the system seemed to be dead, and there was no movement.
What now? Ji Yuan inevitably became a little flustered, and the ticking sound rushed straight to his mind like a magic sound, making him upset.
Calm down! Calm down! Ji Yuan secretly admonished himself, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and tried his best to think about countermeasures. But with the continuous loss of blood and the melting of ice picks, Ji Yuan's body temperature became lower and lower, and even his body inevitably trembled slightly.
Ji Yuan couldn't help but think of an article he had seen before, the story about faucets, prisoners, and ticks. Aren't you just listening to the ticking sound now, watching your life drain away little by little, but you can't do anything about it?
I only blame myself for being too careless and being so gullible to others. Ji Yuan sighed secretly, but unfortunately he hadn't been able to deliver the badge to Hathaway himself.
The body temperature is getting lower and lower, and the teeth involuntarily start to fight, do you really want to die here? Ji Yuan's heart slipped towards the bottom of the valley little by little, and the darkness was getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, Ji Yuan's eyebrows were shocked, and the sound of a broken shell spread throughout the entire sea of knowledge, and a sentence sounded in his mind.
"Master, Griffin sends you my sincerest greetings."
