Ah love, my love {Mo Dao Zu Shi}

The white jade's black past: part-5

Lan WangJi was once again in the experiment room, with the men having no luck whatsoever.

He was as stubborn as a jade itself.

"This isn't working. It's hopeless. This brat doesn't give in no matter what is done to him. We have tried everything we can."

"Master will not tolerate failure today. He has given us his last warning, otherwise he will dispose of us."

At that moment Lan WangJi was wide awake listening to everything. He suddenly chuckled, " Finally loosing hope after all huh?"

One of the men raised an eyebrow, " You still have the galls to talk now?"

Lan WangJi replied in a sarcastic tone, " I guess I do."

This time the reply ended up with him having a kick on his back.

"Rule number 1: Know when to shut up. I heard Lans follow rules diligently. I expect you to follow them as well."

Lee Yu was standing behind him in mighty confidence. There was something in his palm.

It was a ruby shard. It looked like any other ruby shard but the colour of the shard was dangerously red.

Wei WuXian looked at the shard in concentration. Something about this shard felt so familiar to him. But he couldn't just pinpoint it out.

Lan WangJi looked at him from behind his eyelashes.

Shen Xing then came in and bowed deeply to him, "Master, he is here to see you."

Lee Yu's expression turned schooled. He said "I am coming shortly."

Shen Xing left them alone.

Lee Yu then held Lan WangJi by the collar and pulled him up, "I guess it's time for you to meet up with him."

Lan WangJi guessed it was the 'he' that Shen Xing mentioned.

Lee Yu shortly and curtly told the guards to lock him up again and bring him shortly afterwards.

Lan WangJi started contemplation of his choices.

This was a chance. He had to escape today. It's now or never.

In the dungeon, he had learned how to talk to the resentment. Not that he could control it. But he could talk to them.

He made a deal with them.

The resentment would kill as much as it desires. And he would escape out from here.

The only problem was that he didn't get the opportunity to actually have the entire of the gang slaughtered. Because not all would be present at times.

Today seemed like a day where everyone would be present. It was already looking crowded more than usual.

One of the men spoke up, "Did you hear that he is coming? We all have to present today."

Ahhh just as he expected. Today all will be at his hands.

He will not leave any of these people here. They can always reform and repeat.

Repeat what they did to him.

The resentment smoke was getting excited, he felt.

He did not feel good. In fact he felt terrible voices disturbing his mind, but the will to get out was stronger.

Afterall, the spirits' voices are at least less disgusting than these people's.

After a while two men came and pushed him out of the dungeons.
