Yan Tuo followed Xiong Hei down to the second underground floor. It was already past quitting time, and it was quiet below, but the lights were bright, and they didn't see anyone along the way.

Xiong Hei opened the door to a small room. "Take a look."

A strong smell of urine and feces hit them. Yan Tuo instinctively held his breath, then focused his gaze. Que Die was tied up, sitting cross-legged in the center of the room, grinning straight towards the door. His face was swollen like a basin, pale and shiny, his mouth crooked, with saliva and blood continuously dripping from the corner of his mouth.

These people either killed or drove people crazy, it seemed like it was their routine.

Yan Tuo reminded himself not to show any emotions; he didn't have the qualification or the strength.

Xiong Hei looked extremely worried. "I thought the medicine he took had some effect, so I got carried away. I forgot to be cautious. Now that we finally had some clues, I messed it up again. This is the second time. Lin jie... she might kill me."

Yan Tuo said, "It's okay, maybe it's temporary. Don't pressure him, let him rest for a bit, drink some water, eat something. He might recover."

Xiong Hei didn't feel optimistic. "But what if he can't recover? Am I done for?"

"How could that be? We'll just find other clues."

Xiong Hei was anxious. "Where are the other clues? If there were any, I wouldn't be in such a rush."

Yan Tuo gestured towards Que Die. "With him in your hands, he's a hostage. With a hostage, are you afraid his accomplices won't talk?"

Xiong Hei was speechless, thinking Yan Tuo was as dumb as a donkey. "Are you stupid? We can't find his accomplices."

"In the beginning, you couldn't find the people who kidnapped me either, right? What did you do then? His accomplices might be hiding, but that doesn't mean they won't receive the message you send out."

It took Xiong Hei about ten seconds to digest this before his face flushed with excitement. "You're right! You're the right person to find. "

Yan Tuo smiled.

In fact, Lin Xirou could have figured out this method as well, but pointing it out to Xiong Hei when he was in a panic would instill a sense of trust as one of us. Later, it would be much easier to manipulate him by speaking his language.

Just as they were contemplating, Lame Dad in front suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!"

The sound was loud and eerie, resembling a melody. Yan Tuo was startled, while Xiong Hei cursed, "Damn it, here we go again!"

Grabbing a small towel from the table, Xiong Hei balled it up and walked towards Que Die.

Que Die provided his own accompaniment, "Clang clang dong dong clang! Knives and dogs walk on the green soil..."

Xiong Hei seized Que Die by the hair and stuffed the towel into his mouth. Que Die's head shook stubbornly like a pendulum, "Ghost hands whip shining pearls, clang clang dong dong... mmm, mmm, mad dog... vanguard, mmm, mmm, crazy knife sits, mmm..."
