Chapter Thirty-Five Darkness

  Liu Sheng walked nervously through the corridor, staring fixedly at the signboard, not daring to take a wrong step.

  Having experienced games close to virtual reality, he always felt that the person who came up with all this was mysterious and unpredictable, and this place also had a mysterious mechanism at every step.

  I don't know why, but every time he plays those "games", he always feels like he's not himself. Thoughts and ideas that he never had before suddenly emerge, and he can't help but indulge in them. Before coming to the appointment, he didn't think much about it, but standing here now, he feels somewhat uneasy.

  At the small building on the east side of the road, the door was opened by Wang Yi.

  Seeing a familiar face, Liu Sheng finally let out a breath. As soon as he entered the house, he saw that this room was indeed as he had imagined, with antique decorations, Huang Huali wood furniture, and even the lamps were ancient-style lotus lamps. The floor was paved with piece after piece of Han white jade.

  There is already a person sitting in the chair inside, and his clothes are really out of place with this house. He's wearing ordinary camouflage clothing, looking like a migrant worker who has come to work in the city.

  Wang Yi invited him to sit down, furrowing his brow and saying: "First, sit down. Let me introduce you. This is Gao Ming, this is Liu Sheng."

  Gao Ming's face showed a bit of rustic simplicity, he quickly wiped his hand on his clothes and shook hands with Liu Sheng, scratching his head and saying: "Liu Ge, just call me Big Head, my parents also call me that."

  Liu Sheng was delighted at once, "Alright, Big Head, you call me Fatty."

  Gao Ming smiled foolishly and let out a soft "ai" sound, then lowered his head and hugged the teacup to take a sip of tea.

  After all the commotion, Liu Sheng's anxiety was alleviated, and he pulled Wang Yi aside to ask in a low voice: "The game you mentioned that is many times more exciting than what we're playing now, where exactly is it? How much longer do we have to wait?"

  "Wait a bit, don't be in a hurry, the host hasn't arrived yet. Ah, something's gone wrong... Do you know Li Shanshan?"

  Liu Sheng glared, who didn't know Li Shanshan, the pitiful and tragic daughter of General Li, Commander of the Nan City Military District.

  "Did she play that game too?"

  Wang Yi nodded: "That's right, she also passed through, but a few days ago... you know."

  Liu Sheng took a deep breath, covering his mouth with his hand, not daring to say more. Although he was lazy, he had been in the circle for so many years after all. Li Shanshan's matter was a taboo in Nancheng, and his father had repeatedly warned him back then, absolutely not allowing him to mention it outside.

  It turns out that the Li family is also pitiful. General Li Zixun doesn't know which enemy's door he offended, and he actually sold his 18-year-old daughter Li Shanshan to a remote mountain in Yunnan. The Li family mobilized all its strength and searched for two years before finally finding their daughter back. However, the clever and beautiful Li Shanshan from that year had been tortured beyond recognition. After returning home, she received psychological counseling from a psychologist for over a year, but it was ineffective.

  It wasn't just that, the child even learned to take drugs and got addicted. Her parents were busy, by the time they found out, Li Shanshan had started taking ice and was deeply addicted. She herself didn't have any desire to quit, instead wanting to use drugs to numb herself.

  A talented and proud girl has become like this today, it's really frustrating and sigh-worthy.

  Nowadays in Nanshi, people who know the inside story will tell their children: if you don't behave, be careful or you'll end up like Li Shanshan.

  Liu Sheng took a sneaky glance at Wang Yi: "You gave her your business card too? Can she handle it? And she can even play games?"

  Wang Yichan sighed, and at that time, he didn't know which nerve was wrong. He suddenly thought of Li Shanshan, the more he thought about it, the more restless he became, feeling that if he didn't lend a hand to help her, his whole body would be uncomfortable. So he went to visit the Li family and handed Li Shanshan a business card. At that time, he was prepared for this business card to be rejected, but unexpectedly, she actually passed the test.

  "A few days ago, Li Shanshan went missing. Although there's no news spreading outside, you should have heard some rumors by now. Some people say she killed herself, while others claim she was sent abroad. There are all sorts of stories going around... Our master is probably out to pick her up right about now."

  Wang Yi smiled and said, he couldn't help but say that when he saw Yang Yunqiu willing to go find Li Shanshan, his heart actually relaxed a bit. He had always regarded the boy with a student-like appearance as a fierce beast, but now seeing some humanity in him, he couldn't help but recall his past actions, which seemed not only harmless but also good deeds.

  When facing a good person, even if that good person gives him a somewhat terrifying feeling, it will always make people feel at ease.

  Yang Yunqiu is indeed looking for Li Shanshan at this moment.

  It was already dark, and he was somewhat impatient. However, since he had used up the Dragon Skin Contract for Li Shanshan, in order not to let his things go to waste, Li Shanshan also had to honestly accept his transformation.

  Li Shanshan signed the contract, and in Yang Yunqiu's eyes, he shone like the sun. He searched all the way and found a "family hotel". It was not the private club or nightclub he had imagined.

  The exterior is unremarkable, not to mention shabby, and it's not much different from most small hotels or inns. As Yang Yunqiu walked inside, the service staff came out to greet him, and surprisingly, it was a familiar face - Xue Qiao, who had accompanied Yang Daidai to buy underwear together.

  Xue Qiao was also shocked, staring at Yang Yunqiu with wide eyes: "You...you you, how did you come?"

  She quickly ran over, looking around everywhere, wanting to see if the young man had brought that vixen here to open a room. After looking around for half a day without seeing a woman, she finally let out a sigh of relief: "Just you? Want a room?"

  Yang Yunqiu shook her head, "No, I'm looking for someone."

  As he spoke, he walked straight inside. Xue Qiao immediately jumped up to stop him: "Hey, hey, no way! We're very strict here. The boss said that in order to prevent any uncivilized things from happening, non-guests can't enter, and even if guests do come, they can't just wander around at night..."

  Yang Yunqiu suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed Xue Qiao, covered her mouth, and stuck to the wall corner. Two patrolling security guards happened to pass by, but surprisingly didn't see the two of them, who were quite conspicuous.

  Xue Qiao thought she was just distracted, so she put her mind at ease, blinked a few times, and pried open Yang Yunqiu's hand. Lowering her voice, she said: "Who are you looking for? I can help you look them up and give them a call?"

  Her tone was not without a hint of sympathy, Yang Yunqiu came over so late at night, still in such a hurry, how could it not make people suspect that his girlfriend had cheated on him and he had come to the hotel to catch her in the act.

  Xue Qiao muttered to herself, such a handsome boyfriend, she was only afraid that he would two-time her, what a fool woman would not want him. Later, thinking again, at his young age, he had to sell mobile phones to make a living and support his family, presumably his family was in difficult circumstances... However, it was still unforgivable!

  At first, when the freshmen were enrolled, she and Yang Daidai saw him giving a speech on stage, only to find out that he was actually the top scorer in the college entrance examination. At that time, Xue Qiao's heart didn't know how much she wanted to run over and ask, "Hey kid, do you have a boyfriend? If not, this girl will try with you?"

  Why bother, it's just a thought in her mind, nothing more. If she really did that, even if you beat her to death, she wouldn't dare, and it would be too humiliating anyway.

  This woman has an affair and chooses a broken-down inn of her own family, not even willing to go to a proper hotel. She must be looking for no good man, what a shame to women.

  "If you're going to give up on a young man like that for the sake of some billionaire, then so be it. But if it's for some so-called young master who can't even make up his mind, then that's just too ridiculous." Xue Qiao muttered to herself, her curiosity piqued as she followed Yang Yunqiu closely.

  She was also a curious girl.

  As a result, the two people walked and walked, but didn't go to any guest room. Instead, they went down to the basement. Xue Qiao was new here and didn't even know there was a basement. Of course, she also didn't know that the entrance door hidden at the bottom of the stairs was bulletproof, with high-tech locks. If you entered the password incorrectly once, it would trigger an alarm for security. She also didn't know that needle-sized surveillance cameras were everywhere, densely packed.

  Living in this hotel, there is absolutely no privacy at all.

  If it weren't for Yang Yunqiu, she absolutely wouldn't be able to get in.

  As soon as I entered the basement, it was like two different worlds. The glittering gold and jade were shrouded in smoke, with a pungent smell that made people dizzy and disoriented.

  Yang Yunqiu dragged Xue Qiao and sprayed a little anesthetic on her nose. She suddenly woke up: "What place is this!"

  This sound is somewhat sharp and distorted.

  "Who is it?!" The alarm sounded instantly, and a group of security guards rushed out.

  Wa Wa sat on Yang Yunqiu's shoulder and smiled: "Brother Qiu, you're offending the peach blossom this year, so be careful not to let a woman ruin things."

  Yang Yunqiu frowned, and with a swift motion, she flung Xue Qiao over her shoulder. She turned around and slipped past the group of security guards. The guards stretched out their hands to grab her, but they only managed to grasp at air. They swung their batons fiercely, but unfortunately, they ended up hitting their own people instead. One of them was even clumsy enough to drop his baton, which landed on his own foot.

  Xue Qiao was initially very scared, after waiting for a while and seeing that nothing happened, she secretly separated her fingers to look outside, but only saw a group of security guards wandering around in confusion.

  Yang Yunqiu calmly and composedly pinned Xue Qiao to the ground, walked to a secret door, kicked it open with one foot, and the secret door opened.

  Inside or lying down, or sitting, they are all young men and women, with clothes that are either tattered and worn out, or looking like they come from a wealthy family.

  Men and women all lost their minds.

  Xue Qiao's whole body trembled: "Taking drugs?" Cold sweat poured down her forehead, "What to do? I also work here, but I'm just a worker, I've only been here for less than half a month, it has nothing to do with me, really nothing to do with me."

  As she spoke, her voice cracked with tears. She was just an ordinary female student from a moderately well-off family, doted on by her parents as their only child. She had a bit of a "princess complex", a common affliction among girls. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that one day, the scene unfolding before her eyes would be like something out of a movie.

  "This is the mainland...... how could such a thing happen??"

  The doll laughed loudly: "Not only that, but also lust and depravity are right in front of us."

  Yang Yunqiu: "Not just that, opposite is lust and depravity."

  Xue Qiaobai's eyes widened, and she felt dizzy. She saw Yang Yunqiu walking straight into the house and quickly followed her, also hurrying along. She was afraid and absolutely did not dare to act alone.

  Yang Yunqiu let the doll be in charge of recording, and after sweeping her eyes around the room, she saw Li Shanshan. She simply didn't look like a person anymore, with a thin figure, sunken cheeks, dull eyes, and no different from a dead person.

  She walked over, grabbed her, and helped her stand up. Li Shanshan finally came back to her senses, her eyes fell on Yang Yunqiu's body, and she struggled desperately, scratching and clawing, screaming loudly, her hoarse voice was so harsh that it was unbearable to listen to, even the howling of ghosts and wolves in the middle of the night was better than her cries.

  Xue Qiao covered her ears in fright.

  Yang Yunqiu wasn't surprised at all, and slowly pulled out a long hemp rope from her sleeve. With a light flick, the rope came to life and wrapped itself around Li Shanshan's body, from head to toe, binding her tightly, even covering her mouth.

  Xue Qiao suddenly had a very taboo scene appear before her eyes, and she quickly shook her head, but couldn't help muttering to herself that this girl was not good-looking, if it were a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure, this entwining method would actually be quite interesting.

  Yang Yunqiu wrapped Li Shanshan in her coat, dragging one with each hand, and rushed through the hotel lobby, not knowing how many security guards were chasing after them. Once they stepped out of the hotel, they found themselves on a main street, with a group of security guards bursting out of the hotel entrance, shouting and sprinting towards them.

  The leader was a man in his forties, with a gloomy face. Seeing people gathering around, he gave a signal and immediately an accomplice went over to confiscate the onlookers' mobile phones, saying: "This man kidnapped our boss's daughter, nobody take pictures, don't make trouble."

  It's actually dark now, and nothing can be photographed without a flash.

  Xue Qiao grabbed her phone to call the police, but the group of security guards didn't stop her. The leader even smiled and said in a moderate tone, "Little classmate, put our guest down now, and let me take you to change your clothes. We'll consider this matter settled. We're doing business here, and we don't like violence. It's not good for business. Don't worry, killing someone is too much trouble, and throwing the body into a river or sea would pollute the environment. We won't do anything that goes against our interests."

  Yang Yunqiu took a closer look at him, sighed and said: "Actually, you're not completely beyond salvation, but I really don't have the leisure time now, so let reality teach you." After finishing speaking, he openly put his arm around Xue Qiao, with Li Shanshan on his back, and walked straight towards the group of security guards.

  The leader smiled and said, "Pretty good at reading the situation..." Before he had even finished speaking, a group of security guards fell to the ground, some clutching their arms, others clutching their legs, retreating in an orderly fashion.

  "Big brother, he, his body is like a tank, I was lightly touched by him and my arm couldn't be lifted up."

  The big brother's face changed greatly, he waved his hand and let his brothers open up, watching Yang Yunqiu leave with wide eyes.

  "Are we still chasing?"

  "It seems to be a tough nut, and I don't know which road it's from. We didn't bring any tools, let's go back and let the boss handle it." This big brother frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart, "In the future, we should still check these guests carefully, lately they've been getting more and more lax, and the subordinates' courage is also getting bigger, daring to take in all kinds of people, don't stir up trouble."

  He didn't know, trouble had already arrived.

  Yang Yunqiu had the doll upload the wonderful video to the internet, then walked to a night market where there were still many people and finally let go of Xue Qiao who was still in shock: "It's so dark now, you should quickly return to school, don't wander around outside."

  Xue Qiao nodded blankly, until Yang Yunqiu carried Li Shanshan away without a trace, then she stomped her foot: "Forgot to ask again, what's his mobile number now!"

  Yang Yunqiu didn't have the heart to reason with the little girl, and he took Li Shanshan, who was kicking and punching with great force, back to his own mansion. Facing Wang Yi's astonished gaze at dusk, he didn't explain, only saying: "Wait for me for ten minutes."

  He spent ten minutes picking a handful of Chinese herbal medicine, extracting a tube of green liquid, and then gave Li Shanshan an injection.

  "Alright, except for Li Shanshan who was forced by her father, I'll ask again: are you sure you want to accept my 'reform'? I'm warning you in advance that you will be living a completely different life from now on. You may experience the most terrifying disasters on earth. Once you die, although it won't happen in reality for now, it's unknown whether there will be harm to your body or not. Moreover, the damage to your spirit caused by death is unavoidable."
