Chapter 669 The Passing of Time 34
Liu Shulan leaned against her husband, her eyes filled not with fear, but with satisfaction! Yes, satisfaction!
She and her husband were underground members of the Communist Party in Beiping. A year ago, they received an important message and sent it back to their hometown. However, they were detected by a Japanese detection vehicle and arrested on the spot.
The Japanese tried everything to get the couple to talk, but they resisted. They couldn't even find the codebook. Liu Shulan had already memorized the entire codebook and torn up the original copy long ago.
Over the course of a year, they suffered greatly. The Japanese had already realized that they couldn't get anything useful out of them; they were just using them for amusement.
I thought I was going to die today, but I never expected to see such a strange sight after living half my life!
Immediately afterwards, the other three Japanese soldiers were also bitten by the wolfhound, and they all let out shrill screams. All the prisoners in the cell crowded around the bars and looked towards the interrogation room.
When these people saw the Japanese soldiers about to have their dogs eat people, they couldn't bear to look at them and huddled in a corner of the cell, heads bowed and eyes lowered, not uttering a word.
But then they heard the screams of the Japanese soldiers. "What happened? Has anyone seen anything?"
An excited voice came from the cell closest to the torture chamber: "Four little devils suddenly developed wounds in their stomachs; those beasts bit them."
Well, these Japanese devils won't live long, even if they don't die!
"Damn, one of those Japanese devils has already been bitten to death!"
"What? A wound suddenly appeared? How is that possible?"
"Have you forgotten that the guards in the cell were discussing ghosts the other day?"
More than 300 people died in the army hospital; the one who killed them was a ghost!
"My God, I thought it was just an excuse the Japanese were making up because they couldn't solve the case. Could it really be true?"
The Japanese soldiers' cries grew increasingly pitiful, but the guards outside, hearing them, assumed they were the sounds of prisoners being tortured and no one came down to investigate.
Of course, it doesn't matter if someone comes, we're all going to die anyway!
About fifteen minutes later, the four wolfhounds had almost finished eating, and Ning Yan killed all four dogs.
Two of the Japanese soldiers were still alive, but they were merely clinging to life.
After dealing with the wolfhounds, Ning Yan looked at the prisoners in the cell who had been tortured beyond recognition, her mind racing with thoughts.
Those who have survived the brutal torture of the Japanese invaders until now, apart from a few innocent people who were wrongly accused, are all true heroes. Whether they are members of the underground Communist Party, the Military Intelligence Bureau, or the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, they are all heroes!
She wanted to rescue them, but their injuries and physical strength made it impossible for them to escape the White Building and Beiping safely.
So, she wrote a message on the wall with the blood of the Japanese devils: Release all the prisoners in the dungeon within three days, or I will kill ten Japanese devils a day—ghosts!
Facing the interrogation room, Zhao Chen loudly read aloud the words that had suddenly appeared on the wall, his tone full of excitement, "Great! Great! Brothers, we're saved!"
He was a member of the Kuomintang's Beiping station and had been imprisoned for more than seven months. His body was covered in wounds, and he had even been bitten by those wolfhounds.
If it weren't for his strong will supporting him, he would have committed suicide long ago.
Now, he seems to have hope of surviving again, and they all have hope of surviving!
It's quite credible that someone who kills without showing themselves would say they want to save them, right?
Ning Yan pulled out more than twenty small bottles of healing medicine from her divine palace, fiddled with them, poured out four pills and put one into Liu Shulan's mouth, and placed the remaining three in her hand.
Liu Shulan swallowed it subconsciously.
"Ah, is that you, Senior Ghost? What did you give me to eat?"
Ning Yan didn't answer her. She threw a bottle of medicine into each cell. Someone picked it up and quickly opened it. A strong medicinal fragrance wafted out. The person was bold enough to pour out a pill and eat it himself. Afterward, he didn't forget to give some to the other people in his cell.
They were then surprised to find that the bottle contained just enough medicine to fill one of their cells.
Liu Shulan also realized what was happening and gave the other three pills to the person who had been interrogated with her earlier. "They're healing medicine. I felt a bit stronger after taking them."
After distributing the medicine, Ning Yan started throwing out food. They were already prisoners; how could the Japanese devils possibly let them have a full meal?
Forget about feeding them until they're full; at most, we'd give them a cornbread and a bowl of water a day, just enough to keep them from starving.
She had the most food in her divine palace, with ready-made steamed buns, mantou, and scallion pancakes. She had stockpiled these things in large bags, enough to feed not only a hundred people, but even ten thousand.
The prisoners in the jail were surprised to see steaming food falling from the sky. They didn't make a sound, took the food, and distributed it to the people behind them.
Everyone quickly started eating because they were really hungry. These big, white steamed buns were something some people couldn't even afford before, let alone after they went to jail.
As we ate, a soft "thank you" rang out, followed by another "thank you" after another.
Some people started crying silently as they ate, as if they really had a chance to see the sun outside again!
Ning Yan couldn't bear to watch this scene and turned to leave the cell.
The guards outside the cell finally realized something was wrong.
It's too quiet down there, which is not normal. Even if the prisoners don't dare to speak, the wolfhounds can't be controlled; they'll definitely bark every now and then. Soon, someone will come down to check.
Then, the White Building descended into chaos!
The reappearance of the ghost was a bolt from the blue for the Japanese!
They were so angry when they saw the words on the dungeon walls that they started swearing.
In the end, even the cowardly He Rui was escorted to the dungeon by several guards.
After seeing the words on the wall, He Rui's voice turned chilling, "A ghost?"
Then he looked at the two people on the ground who were still breathing, "Wake them up."
The doctor immediately stepped forward and, after examining them, both Japanese soldiers woke up. Once awake, they began shouting, "Ghosts! Ghosts! Don't kill me! Help! Help me!"
"Baka!" He Rui was furious. His headquarters was being visited and left at will.
They even dared to leave a note threatening him to release the person; they were incredibly arrogant!
"Investigate! You must find this ghost!"
Release them? No way!
He's going to tear that damned ghost to pieces!
Subordinate: "Yes, sir!"
My head is spinning after all that partying!
People say he/she is a ghost, but nobody knows whether he/she is male or female, ugly or beautiful, old or young. How are we supposed to investigate this case?
"General, it's not safe here. You should go back upstairs first."
He Rui turned and walked out, ordering as he went, "Check all the prisoners in the cell one by one. Some of them must have seen what happened, especially those prisoners who were being interrogated!"
