Chapter 183 A Wall Separated
However, the surging mental strength was like a punch hitting cotton, and instantly dissipated in the invisible protective shield.
Zong Yan didn't even change his posture as he watched Zong Fang's angry attack indifferently.
Zong Fang, as if venting all his mental energy, attacked him, but it didn't cause a single ripple. After his mental energy was drained, he entered a brief freezing period and collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
He braced himself on the ground with both hands, his silver eyes filled with resentment. Zong Fang gritted his teeth, the blood vessels in his forehead and neck bulging. He looked up and stared at the man in the seat, the feeling of powerlessness from his childhood washed over him again after such a long time.
"She is not just any female. She is my spouse and my life."
A tear fell straight down as he lowered his head and melted on the carpet.
The proud and arrogant Zong Fang lowered his head, and changed from supporting himself on one knee to kneeling heavily on both knees.
"Father."
He spoke hoarsely, uttering this name that he had not spoken for a long time.
"Please, give her back to me."
Zong Yan looked down at him from his seat, his brows furrowed slightly. He said unhappily, "Your life belongs to the King Cobra clan, not to you. You have no right to control it."
"Then I will give my life back to you, and you give her back to me."
Upon hearing this, Zong Yan's brows furrowed even more tightly, filled with confusion.
This son was extremely gifted, with top-notch abilities and genes. Zong Yan had high hopes for him since he was young. Even when he was so young, he followed behind him, calling him "Dad" all the time with complete admiration in his eyes. But from one day on, he became more and more rebellious, always talking back, and his eyes showed complex emotions that Zong Yan had never taken the time to understand.
If he had taken the initiative to ask, he would have easily discovered that the look in the eyes of the young Zongfang was called disappointment.
But the father and son have reached the end of their confrontation at this time. There is unfamiliarity, indifference and opposition between them, and the estrangement of so many years is simply difficult to resolve.
Zong Yan had given up on hoping his son would become a successful successor and take over his business. He only hoped that he could continue to do what he loved, live a good life and not cause trouble. But he refused to let him worry about it.
Thinking of this, the man sighed deeply.
"Impossible. She's the one the leader wants, and I can't change her."
Zong Fang knelt forward anxiously and said, "Tell me where she is being held. I will find a way myself. I don't need to make things difficult for you. Is she okay now? Please don't keep her locked up. She can't bear it. She's pregnant and can't do it on her own. Father, I beg you, I've never begged you before, just give her back to me."
Zong Yan looked at his son who was begging for mercy, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Whose child is it?"
"It's me and hers."
Zong Yan was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyebrows, and his expression became extremely complicated in an instant, but disappeared in a flash.
——
Qiao Susu was no longer sure how many days she had been locked up.
She couldn't see the sun and didn't know when it was day or night.
She began to have anorexia and vomited everything she ate.
She tried all the props in the system, but none of them could help her escape.
No one interacted with her or talked to her every day, and meals were delivered through a small opening at the bottom of the door.
At first, she thought it was ridiculous. What was this? Delivering food to the prisoners? Gradually, she began to look forward to the small opening at a fixed time, because it was a constant change in the day.
The feeling of sinking in her stomach became more and more severe. She would force herself to walk around the room every day and force herself to eat something, but her psychological emotions reached the peak of boredom, which affected her physiology and she could not help vomiting.
In order to keep herself alert and avoid the mysterious pinholes on her arms, she never dared to sleep. One day, she could no longer bear it and leaned against the wall, intending to just close her eyes, but her consciousness gradually faded, and just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard a series of knocks on the wall.
Qiao Susu woke up instantly. She put her ear against the wall to listen, but the knocking sound never came again.
She clenched her fists and hammered the wall weakly, trying to tell the people on the other side of the wall that there were people there.
The other side of the wall.
Anubis lay on his back on the ground, his forehead covered with fine, dense sweat, biting a handful of dry grass in his mouth, waiting for the strange pain to pass.
Suddenly, his whole body began to twitch, and the chain around his neck connected to the wall made a continuous knocking sound as he twitched.
After the convulsion passed, Anubis loosened his clenched teeth and stared blankly at the ceiling of the room.
His memory was fragmented, and even most of it was missing, but no matter what experiments and torture the Federation did to him, a smiling face appeared in his mind again and again. The person in his memory was a short-haired boy, with a thin figure, delicate and handsome features, very white skin, and eyes that sparkled when he smiled.
Anubis laughed along with the smiling face in the illusion. At that moment, he forgot the pain, the hatred, the humiliation he had suffered, and the terrible torture.
I don’t know how many days it is.
Qiao Susu tried to knock on the wall with her water cup for the Nth time, and this time there was finally a response.
She listened to the voice on the other side with surprise, and confirmed that the rhythm the other party was tapping was exactly the same as hers. The feeling of being tortured by despair was instantly dispelled by this response.
"Can you hear me?"
"Are you imprisoned here too?"
She spoke to the empty wall, then pressed her ear against it, unsure if the other person could hear her.
Just when Qiao Susu was about to give up, there was a knock on the wall in response.
She touched the wall excitedly and said, "Can't you speak? Knock twice for no, knock once for yes."
'Boom'.
"How long have you been locked up here? A month?"
'Dongdong'.
"Three months?"
'Dongdong'.
"Could it be a year?"
'Dongdong'.
Qiao Suisui was silent for a moment and said, "You don't know how long it's been, right?"
'Boom'.
Her eyes instantly filled with tears, but she bit her lip to hold them back. At this moment, the joy of finding her companions faded again, and she took another step towards a hopeless tomorrow.
She curled up in the corner of the wall, holding her stomach and leaning her head against the wall, seeming to be talking to herself, or as if talking to the person opposite her.
"Actually, I have a way to leave. As long as..." She touched her belly and said dejectedly, "As long as I finish this thing, I can go home, return to my world, and escape the imprisonment here."
“But there is someone waiting for me in this world.”
“They must be worried right now.”
Qiao Suisui talked a lot, she didn't even know what she was saying. She hadn't spoken in a long time. As she spoke, her consciousness began to drift off uncontrollably. She hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time. From time to time, someone on the other side of the wall would knock in response, as a sign of companionship.
"Sizzle—"
The door was suddenly opened from the outside.
