Chapter 185
"Keep an eye on him! He can't die!"
"yes!"
The two guards agreed and watched the man leave. Then they turned around and walked into the door and were knocked unconscious by something.
Ju Mang hid in the dark, and vines grew from his palms, which were the ones that knocked out the two guards.
"Zhanlan! You can come down now!"
Ju Mang then looked at the ventilation duct on the ceiling. Xian Lan jumped down cleanly and neatly, like a cat landing on the ground, without making any sound.
"Walk!"
To see Shunian Sheng, one needs a certificate to open the cell. Fortunately, Ju Mang has already stolen it secretly.
Upon entering the cell, Ju Mang and Zhen Lan both gasped.
Just looking at the person in front of them, how could they recognize that he was their beloved Mr. Shu?
His entire body was covered in coagulated black blood, there were stains everywhere, and even the cell was filled with a foul stench.
“That’s too much…”
Lan said in a low voice, gritting her teeth, her hands clenched so tightly that they began to tremble.
Interrogation? How can you interrogate like this? The law clearly prohibits torture!
But she also knew that the so-called law did not protect the rights of them, the "superpowers".
"We have to take Mr. Shu away! He will die if he continues like this!"
Lan looked towards Ju Mang, her eyes full of requests.
It is impossible that Shu Niansheng was the one who really persuaded Gao Yuan to go on a killing spree, and Xian Lan didn't think he needed to prove something he hadn't done.
These bastards never thought of letting Shu Nian Sheng go!
Ju Mang did not respond immediately. He came to Shu Niansheng and asked, "Mr. Shu? Mr. Shu?"
He didn't even dare to reach out and push Shu Niansheng, for fear of touching the wound on Mr. Shu's body.
The familiar voice awakened the drowsy Shu Niansheng. He raised his eyelids with difficulty, his eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse.
"Ju...Ju Mang? Ah...and Xian Lan..."
Shu Niansheng saw the two people in the place where he should least have seen them, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I'm sorry... for making you worry."
As the elder of several children, it is really dereliction of duty for him to be in such a miserable state and to be worried about by his younger generations.
But faced with such a dilemma, he was helpless.
Xian Lan remained silent, but his eyes were fixed on the wounds on Shu Niansheng's body.
She had been beaten like this before and knew how painful it was.
Those people were basically trying to kill him, but they also tried to keep Shu Niansheng alive.
"Jumang..." Xianlan urgently needed a reply.
Why didn't he answer her? Could it be that Ju Mang wanted to keep Mr. Shu in such a haunted place?
"Mr. Shu, let's take you out." Ju Mang clenched and unclenched his fists. He had a lot to say, but he knew that he shouldn't make decisions for others.
Shu Niansheng looked at the green-haired young man in front of him. His hair color was like the green shoots of spring onions, and his eyes were as dazzling as the morning sun.
This is Huan Guangzhi's favorite student, and also his favorite junior.
"No, I can't leave."
If he left now, he would certainly be able to escape from the suffering and survive, but he would definitely become a criminal who fled for fear of punishment.
The only resistance Shu Niansheng could offer was a minimal denial.
He never instigated any psychic to do anything bad.
Those who are paying attention to him now are not only the government that wants him to take the blame, the victims' families who want him to pay with blood, but also the supernatural people who have received his help.
They are the part that has been abandoned by society and shunned by the masses.
Shu Niansheng knew how important his existence was.
He must not plead guilty, let alone leave. He could not let these people down. Even though this group was the most insignificant and vulnerable in terms of power, money, or other aspects, they could not provide any effective help to Shu Niansheng.
"Why! You're going to die! Mr. Shu!"
Xian Lan was almost crying with anxiety. The people who were bound in front of her were not only the elders she respected, but also the children who had supported her to live in the past.
If I stay, I will die. I just don’t understand why!
Ju Mang stood by and couldn't say a word.
He knew what Shu Niansheng was thinking, that was what he had thought at the beginning.
If Shu Niansheng 'flees for fear of crime', then everything they have done before will become like floating clouds, and will sooner or later be blown away by the strong wind.
This is still acceptable, but in the future, the situation of people with special abilities will become more difficult. All attempts to help people with special abilities will be labeled as having ill intentions, and even reasonable behavior such as mutual assistance will be "naturally" blocked.
Leaving at this time would be a compromise!
Shu Niansheng tried to smile to comfort Zhen Lan, but the wound on his face was affected, and the expression he showed in the end looked a little funny.
"Sorry... I can't leave, Yan Lan." Shu Niansheng really didn't have the energy to explain. He looked at Ju Mang, "Jumang, you know, right?"
Ju Mang's breathing began to rapid. He frowned, bit his lower lip, and refused to say a word.
But he can understand, but he knows everything!
Shu Niansheng once again showed a 'funny' smile, "Jumang, take Huanlan away."
Xian Lan had no idea what the two were talking about, she only knew that Mr. Shu was trying to drive them away.
"No! Mr. Shu! You have to go! I can't let you die here!"
She doesn't care about justice or reality, she absolutely doesn't want to watch Mr. Shu die here!
As a result, the next second, she was tied up by Ju Mang's vines.
"Jumang! Let me go!"
Xian Lan looked at Ju Mang in shock. He didn't expect that his good friend would attack him.
"Xian Lan, I will explain to you when I get out, Mr. Shu..."
Seeing that Xianlan was still struggling, Shu Niansheng could only persuade her again, "Go back with Ju Mang, Xianlan, I really can't leave."
Before he could say anything else, he heard the sound of someone approaching outside. Ju Mang could only look at Shunian Sheng again.
Mr. Shu smiled at him and nodded solemnly.
No one could have imagined that this would be the last time they saw each other.
——
Outside, Liuhua Buyi, Yigong, Ziyi and Ya were all waiting to pick them up.
Seeing that Ju Mang almost tied up the struggling Xian Lan, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
As soon as Ju Mang put down Xian Lan, a red light from a dagger stabbed at him.
Xian Lan actually attacked Ju Mang.
"Zhan Lan!"
"Zhan Lan! What are you doing!?"
Ju Mang didn't even move. If Yi Gong and Liu Hua Bu Xi hadn't stood in front of him, he might have been stabbed by Yan Lan.
"Get out of my way!" There was no murderous intent in the eyes of Yan Lan, but anger had reached its peak, "Jumang, you knew that Mr. Shu would die if he stayed there!"
Ju Mang also clenched his fists. Wouldn't he be sad to leave Shunian Sheng there?
But he couldn't become an 'accomplice'.
"Xian Lan, please listen to my explanation." Ju Mang could only smile bitterly.
The girl still held the dagger, "What explanation? Tell me!"
In her heart, nothing is more important than life, especially the lives of those she cares about.
Ju Mang was also very sad about those analyses, but he didn't want to become enemies with Xian Lan even more.
"If Mr. Shu leaves now, he will be regarded as a fugitive. He has not pleaded guilty in order to prove his innocence."
"That's better than death! Those government lackeys never thought of letting him go!"
Ju Mang's breathing also became rapid.
"Everything Mr. Keshu has done before will be in vain! He can't let down those who accepted his help!"
This is the real reason. Shu Niansheng doesn't care about his reputation at all, let alone his own life, but he absolutely cannot become an accomplice of the conspiracy.
The government wants him to be a scapegoat, to make all his previous efforts come to naught, and to use him as a pawn to completely defeat the psychic.
no way!
"Xian Lan, have you ever thought about how much harm it would cause to the superpowers if Mr. Shu confessed his guilt or escaped from prison at this moment... I don't want to do that either! I don't want Mr. Shu to become like this."
When Ju Mang said these words, he was also heartbroken.
Xian Lan finally understood. She lowered her hand holding the dagger and finally knelt on the ground and began to cry bitterly.
Obviously... obviously she has grown up and become stronger, but why can't she save the people she wants to save!
Why!
"We have to leave first. The patrol is here." Ziyi and Ya watched the farce with satisfaction, but they didn't want to leave any criminal record. "Let's leave first."
Yi Gong walked up to Ju Mang and patted him on the shoulder.
Liuhua Buxi went to help Xianlan up, "We are not going to give up on Mr. Shu, Xianlan."
"Yes, Bu (Ju Mang's special supply) Xi is right. We are not going to give up on Mr. Shu. We want to save him! But in another way!"
Now the government is trying to prove that Mr. Shu is guilty, and the biggest "evidence" is that Gao Yuan met Mr. Shu half a month before the incident.
All they have to do is find out the motive behind Gao Yuan's crime and prove that Mr. Shu has nothing to do with it!
Lan wiped her tears vigorously and finally calmed down.
"Thank you." She thanked Liuhua Buxi, and then looked at Ju Mang again, "Well, we must prove that Mr. Shu is innocent."
So everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly cleaned up all traces and left before the patrol arrived.
The next month is a race against time.
Because Shu Niansheng refused to plead guilty, all kinds of torture were used, but to no avail. There was no solid evidence, let alone a confession of guilt, and public opinion became increasingly intense.
The people in the government who are responsible for this matter are also overwhelmed.
"I don't care what method you use! If you don't admit your guilt, then find evidence! Do you understand?"
Even if this chain of evidence is incomplete, it’s useful!
"yes!"
It's ridiculous that they only started looking for evidence a month after the incident.
But those of them who work for the government do not have any right to make any decisions.
[The evidence is much easier to find than we thought. There must be a reason for Kaguya's sudden change of temperament.]
[The last time he met Mr. Shu, the surveillance video showed that his footsteps were brisk, so we started to find out where he went after he left]
【Finally, we found his ex-wife.】
[Gui Yuan has met his ex-wife, son, and ex-wife's current husband several times in the past half month. Interestingly, the current husband of his ex-wife is also a victim of that major case.]
"That's a demon! You demons stay away from me!"
The woman screamed, and seemed to have not yet recovered from what happened some time ago.
But hidden in her fear seemed to be emotions such as regret and guilt.
