Chapter 86 Departure
The next day, Miao Yin slept until almost noon before getting up. As soon as she opened the door, she was met with an assassination attempt by Tu Hao.
He is, after all, a mercenary, adept at using the environment.
He somehow managed to salvage a few spring coils, combined them with shards of a plate he'd broken the day before and some kitchen knives, and created a makeshift mechanism. Whenever Miao Yin opened the door, these hidden weapons would slash at her neck.
But Miao Yin was prepared. The fire rose into the air, and all the fragments were melted away the moment they touched the flames.
Immediately afterwards, all the mechanisms were burned down.
Tu Hao sat on the stool, watching her walk out unharmed, and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"What a pity." I didn't kill her.
"After working all night, this is all you've come up with?"
The ban was triggered several times, and she thought the other party was going to pull some big surprise.
"You're going to be disappointed. Next time, I'll shoot a bullet at your head," Tu Hao sneered.
Miao Yin clapped her hands: "Alright, since you failed, it's time for punishment."
She held out her hand, two fingers stacked together, one horizontal and one vertical: "Ten minutes, don't cry."
"You—" Tu Hao's voice trailed off as he fell to the ground, his mouth agape and his throat gurgling. He was in so much pain that he couldn't utter a single word, and his whole body trembled like a leaf.
Every minute, every second felt like being slowly sliced to death. Tu Haosen's green pupils were unfocused, and his fingers dug into the floor, so much so that he didn't even notice his fingernails peeling off.
He didn't know how much time had passed before the curse dissipated, and under the influence of lingering pain, he let out his first wail.
No torture is more severe than having one's bones removed.
Hearing his pained voice, Miao Yin stretched and said, "You're awake now."
Today is another day that has made me feel cheerful and relaxed.
She retrieved the anti-bite device that she had previously removed from Tu Hao's face from the Eighty-Eight Temples and put it back on him.
I took it off before because I didn't want that team to suspect anything, but now of course I have to take it back.
It hasn't been three days yet, has it?
Tu Hao, exhausted from the pain, was naturally powerless to resist.
Having dealt with the disobedient fellow, Miao Yin took another look at Ji Yuanzhou.
Perhaps because he was blocking the way, Tu Hao dragged him to the passenger seat last night and even adjusted the seat to its lowest position so as not to crush his bones.
After taking the medicine and sleeping through the night, Ji Yuanzhou felt much better, and his temperature wasn't as high anymore.
Miao Yin fed him the medicine and water again, then sat down at the table to enjoy her breakfast...or rather, lunch.
Tu Hao?
It's still lying on the ground.
It wasn't until Miao Yin finished eating and leisurely started looking at the map that the other person finally came to their senses.
Tu Hao, enduring his dizziness, propped himself up from the ground and leaned against the wall. He had to stop and catch his breath before he could take another step. His lips were pale and bloodless, and there were still traces of tears in the corners of his eyes.
Ten minutes was a really long time; so long that he thought he was already meeting Satan.
This time, Miao Yin clearly controlled the intensity of the curse. She reduced the pain when he was about to faint, and then immediately increased it when he was over, making him wish he were dead.
You should know that when he was physically weak before, he could faint in ten seconds.
"Tu Hao".
Miao Yin's voice rang out from the side, and Tu Hao's body tensed up instinctively.
Seeing his unconsciously nervous expression, Miao Yin smiled with pleasure.
She crouched down beside him, unwrapped a piece of candy, and put it into his mouth from outside the cage. Then, as if stroking the chin of a large dog, she stroked his jawbone and the area connecting it to his neck.
"Are you feeling better?" she asked gently.
Tu Hao had a candy in his mouth, the sweet taste of milk candy spreading in his mouth. He swallowed and didn't say anything.
"It's okay if you don't talk. Just rest well. We can go home today." Miao Yin fiddled with the diamond on his face and smiled.
Tu Hao's tense body only relaxed after Miao Yin left.
He let out a breath, looked at his trembling fingers, and felt utterly cold inside.
How long can his willpower withstand this torture, which is even more terrifying than electroconvulsive therapy?
You absolutely must escape before you lose your mind.
……
Miao Yin sat in the driver's seat, put the map aside, and stepped on the gas.
She marked it; the route was from the aquarium to the small estate.
Because of encountering some mutants who suddenly appeared along the way, the bus kept stopping and starting, and it took another four hours to get back to the small manor.
At that time, Yan Shuzhou was practicing his special ability in the manor. He transferred the Nine-Tails Rabbit's ability to himself and keenly sensed the approaching car.
—Is it my sister who's back?!
He ran out excitedly, saw the familiar figure through the car window, immediately opened the gate of the manor, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Miao Yin closed the car door and walked up to him.
"Sister, you're back!" Yan Shuzhou's eyes sparkled.
"Yes, I'm back," Miao Yin replied.
Before Yan Shuzhou could catch up with her, there was another commotion in the car. He looked at the car door in confusion and saw a majestic-looking man getting out.
Yan Shuzhou's smile froze.
This stranger had a strong presence, was very tall, and had sharp, imposing features. His gaze was full of dominance, but inexplicably, he had a strange cage on his face.
Yan Shuzhou's voice was filled with surprise and doubt: "Sister, he is..."
"His name is Tu Hao, and like us, he is also a superpowered individual," Miao Yin introduced casually.
"Your brother?" Tu Hao's sharp eyes swept over Yan Shuzhou, finally settling on his face. "He doesn't look like it."
"Picked it up."
"Oh, no wonder, you also cast a curse on him?"
From Yan Shuzhou's sudden change in expression, Tu Hao knew the answer and wasn't surprised.
Given this woman's methods, how could she possibly live with someone she can't control?
Knowing this, Tu Hao turned his attention to the small manor.
This design... is pretty good. It's very suitable for defense, and the location is remote, so you don't have to worry about being eaten in the middle of the night.
No wonder someone with so much wealth would ultimately choose to live here.
"Go and move Ji Yuanzhou down," Miao Yin ordered him.
Tu Hao pursed his lips, opened the passenger door, and carried the person out.
Yan Shuzhou then realized that there was another person in the car.
"Let's go inside first." Miao Yin put the RV into the Eighty-Eight Temples and then went into the small manor.
Seeing that she had gone ahead, Tu Hao glanced at Yan Shuzhou and followed her.
They had all left, so naturally only Yan Shuzhou came to close the door, making him the last person to return to the villa.
