Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#329 - Chapter 328 Lu Xiancong's Situation

Li Chenqiu's ears twitched, and he looked in the direction of the sound.

In the shadows of the corner, a piece of black rag bulged slightly, outlining a roughly human shape. The sound of clothes rubbing against the wall earlier had come from under the rag.

Li Chenqiu narrowed his eyes, keenly aware that the rag was shaking slightly, as if the person under it was very afraid.

"Professor Lu?"

Li Chenqiu called out tentatively.

There was no response.

The rag trembled even more frequently.

Li Chenqiu tiptoed forward, speaking gently, "Hello, Professor Lu, I'm Li Chenqiu, a freshman from the Zhaixing Academy."

Still no response.

Li Chenqiu stopped in front of the rag and slowly squatted down. "You don't have to be afraid, I'm from Zhaixing Academy."

As he spoke, Li Chenqiu reached out and pinched the corner of the black cloth, gently pulling it down.

"Ah, uh, ah, uh—"

An indistinct moan sounded.

Lu Xiancong under the black cloth was completely exposed to Li Chenqiu.

"This…"

Li Chenqiu's pupils dilated uncontrollably, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Ah, uh, ah, uh—"

Noticing that the black cloth on his body had been lifted, Lu Xiancong shouted even louder.

But Li Chenqiu seemed not to hear, his eyes fixed on Lu Xiancong.

Before coming, he had guessed that Lu Xiancong was in a very miserable state, but he didn't expect him to be this miserable!

In the corner, an old man, naked, was curled up against the wall like a caterpillar.

The old man's hair was sparse and matted in clumps, and the exposed skin was cracked from dryness. Black scabs covered his entire body, and he exuded a nauseating odor.

It looked very miserable, but this misery was not enough to surprise Li Chenqiu. The physical disfigurement was the real reason for Li Chenqiu's shock.

The old man's eye sockets were empty, his nose had been flattened by a horizontal blade, and the open mouth showed no trace of teeth or tongue. Of his facial features, only his ears were intact.

In addition, the old man's limbs had been cut off at the root, completely losing his ability to move normally, and he could only rely on the two walls in the corner to barely avoid falling into his own excrement.

Li Chenqiu looked at the severed right arm, and what caught his eye was the mark left by a branding iron.

Obviously, the person who cut off the old man's arm had used a branding iron to stop the bleeding.

"Ah, ah, uh, uh—"

Lu Xiancong turned his head, pressed his face against the wall, and arched his body like a caterpillar.

"You don't have to be afraid, I'm a student from Zhaixing Academy."

Li Chenqiu gently placed his hand on Lu Xiancong's shoulder, patting it rhythmically.

Gradually, Lu Xiancong stopped shouting, and his violently heaving chest calmed down.

Li Chenqiu pursed his lips, looking embarrassed.

How could he communicate with someone who couldn't hear, couldn't see, and didn't even have limbs?

Just then, Lu Xiancong suddenly turned his head and slammed it against the wall, instantly splattering blood.

"You…"

Li Chenqiu raised his arm, about to say something, but saw Lu Xiancong pressing his forehead against the wall, twisting his neck, using the fresh blood to outline irregular radicals and components of Chinese characters.

Seeing this, Li Chenqiu lowered his raised arm and quietly watched the wall.

Soon, a string of crooked, blood-red characters appeared before Li Chenqiu.

【How did you come here?】

Li Chenqiu glanced at the surveillance camera in the upper left corner of the cell, withdrew his gaze, and then said, "The academy is very worried about your safety and sent me to see you."

Lu Xiancong's weathered face revealed a smile, and he continued to write with his forehead.

【Don't worry about me, please, don't tell anyone what I look like now, please!】

"Okay, I won't tell them."

Lu Xiancong continued to write with his forehead.

【My family, are they alright?】

Lu Xiancong's empty eye sockets quietly stared at Li Chenqiu.

"They are all fine, you don't have to worry."

The wrinkles at the corners of Lu Xiancong's eyes slowly gathered, and the corners of his mouth slowly widened, looking very terrifying.

Just then, the smile on Lu Xiancong's face froze, as if he had thought of something, and he eagerly began to write with his forehead.

【Leave here quickly, it's very dangerous here, leave!】

Compared to the previous blood-written words, these were more scribbled and distorted.

"Don't worry, I won't…"

Knock, knock, knock!

A knock on the door interrupted Li Chenqiu's words, and startled Lu Xiancong, causing him to tremble all over.

"Fifteen minutes are up."

Gaoqiao Chunshan's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing this, Li Chenqiu reached out and helped Lu Xiancong up straight. "I will come again, you must live well."

"Uh, uh~".

Lu Xiancong stammered twice.

"Yeah."

Li Chenqiu responded out of respect, stepped to the cell door, "Why haven't you opened the door yet?"

Click—

The cell door opened, Li Chenqiu walked out of the cell, before he could take the next step, Gaoqiao Chunshan blocked him, "The whereabouts of Gaoqiao Yuncang."

Li Chenqiu casually pointed, "That direction, walk about five hundred kilometers."

Gaoqiao Qingshan asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Li Chenqiu nodded, "Yes, a reminder, my Soul Weapon is currently by Gaoqiao Yuncang's side, if you want to attack me…"

Li Chenqiu smiled, "I can only be forced to tear up the ticket."

After speaking, Li Chenqiu bypassed Gaoqiao Chunshan and walked towards the elevator he had taken when he came.

At the same time, inside the monitoring hall.

Gaoqiao Mesheng said in a deep voice, "Have everyone follow Li Chenqiu closely, after rescuing Yuncang, directly kill him."

Gaoqiao Luanmu nodded in response, "Understood."

After speaking, he turned and left the monitoring hall.

...

Inside the dark and closed elevator car.

Li Chenqiu closed his eyes, crossed his arms, leaned against the iron wall panel, and waited quietly.

Gaoqiao Chunshan and Yuanmu Zhaoyang stood directly opposite him, none of the three spoke, and the air was quiet and oppressive.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Chenqiu opened his eyes and asked in confusion, "Isn't this speed a bit slow?"

Gaoqiao Chunshan said calmly, "There is gravity assisting when coming down, so the speed is naturally faster."

Li Chenqiu questioned, "You don't plan to delay time, and wait until you rescue Gaoqiao Yuncang before attacking me, do you!"

Gaoqiao Chunshan sneered, "Such a long distance, even if we had this intention, it would be difficult to have the ability to do so."

"That's true."

Li Chenqiu nodded and said nothing more.

Gaoqiao Chunshan was not lying, it was indeed difficult to do so, but it was just difficult, not impossible.

Using profound artifacts related to space or speed, it is entirely possible to do it, and the Gaoqiao Consortium happens to have such profound artifacts.

...

Five hundred kilometers away, an ordinary little hill.

Gaoqiao Yuncang shouted weakly, "You… you wait, my grandfather won't let you go…"
