Chapter 154 Chaos Block No. 13 (11) The Black Prince with the Guillotined Axe...
The treetops beneath his feet formed a dark green ocean. The shadow of Crazy Old Sheep passed in front of the moon, holding Gao Mengtang in his arms.
They ran northward, passing by the city's buildings and gray walls.
System: "New area [Old Town] has been unlocked."
Gao Mengtang stared at the location of his home reluctantly. The gray walls were hidden in the darkness.
The prison guards searched for them 24 hours a day. The sirens could be heard from afar. They found that someone had escaped from the prison. Then the radio started: "Two criminals have escaped from the prison. People around here, please pay attention to your personal safety..."
"Two criminals escaped from prison, and the people around them..."
"Did you hear that?" Crazy Old Sheep's laughter echoed in the night wind. "That's our award speech."
Gao Mengtang ignored him.
The sheep's hooves ran very fast. Fifteen minutes later, the crazy old sheep held Gao Mengtang and rushed into a jeep. His arms loosened and Gao Mengtang fell face down on the back seat.
Where you fell, there you lie down. Gao Mengtang lay there motionless, digesting the fact that he was forced to escape from prison.
"Stand up! My friend! Cheer up!" Crazy Old Sheep grabbed Gao Mengtang by the scruff of his neck and pulled him up. "Freedom! A new beginning! No need to thank me."
Gao Mengtang patted the wrinkles on his body and said, "I don't thank you at all. Really."
Crazy Old Sheep: “You’re welcome!”
"Hold on tight!" said the driver in the front seat, and he stepped on the accelerator. The car turned sharply and sped through the old city.
It wasn't a big deal at first, but this jailbreak was enough to get me a death penalty. I went from being a fifth-class citizen to a wanted criminal.
Even if the case is not serious and the death penalty is not imposed, he will be imprisoned for at least three to five years. Gao Mengtang is unwilling to stay in the dungeon for such a long time.
Gao Mengtang turned on his phone and wanted to check the news. When he swiped the screen, he saw Dai Yinyin's gray avatar.
When you click into the chat box, a red exclamation mark pops up: You have been blocked by the other party.
Gao Mengtang: “…”
The two thousand dollars I paid for cleaning the sewer last time hasn’t been paid yet!
Bai Jie: Boss, how did you become a wanted criminal? If you escape from prison, you will be sentenced to death. Is there someone bullying you? I will beat him up!
Wei Wei: Mr. Blind Man, why did you escape from prison?
Gao Mengtang was afraid of causing trouble for his teammates and didn't want to reply. But he knew that if he didn't say anything, it would make his teammates more worried. So he briefly explained the cause and effect.
: I didn't want to escape from prison. The prisoner next door escaped. His name was Crazy Old Sheep. He joined the Axe Chopping Man and was crazy. When he saw that I was also an Axe Chopping Man, he didn't listen to my explanation and took me out directly.
: Let’s not contact each other anymore. Destroy your current phone completely and pretend you don’t know me.
: Don't worry, I'm safe. Bai Jie, take good care of He Yi. Wei Wei, study hard for the exam. Remember to find Duan Song, Lin Li, and Xiao Cang Lan.
Just as I was about to throw my phone away, Wei Wei sent me another message: I have checked the information and I will have to change my name after entering the courtroom. I have decided to change my name to [Meng Fei], remember.
Gao Mengtang: OK. I'll remember it.
: Take care, everyone.
After typing these last four words, Gao Mengtang threw his phone to the ground and kicked it twice.
"Fancy moves, but you're not going to sing an opera?" Crazy Old Sheep pushed him away and said, "I'll do it!"
The sheep kicked the phone with its hoof, and it broke into pieces. The crazy old sheep raised his big head proudly: "You're welcome."
Now that we are here, we should make the best of it and think about where to sleep tonight. Gao Mengtang looked around: "What are you doing in the old city? Is there a place to stay here?"
The car stopped at this moment. Crazy Old Sheep pushed open the door, pulled Gao Mengtang down, and ran in front: "Follow me! Let's go home!"
I thought the "home" he was talking about was a dirty basement filled with camp beds, but I never expected it to be a clean and even warm place.
They entered a not-too-old building, climbed the stairs, and smelled the aroma of food from afar.
"This was originally a hospital, right?" Gao Mengtang asked, "Could it be... the Black Prince Hospital?"
Crazy Old Sheep: "Black Prince Hospital? I've never heard of it. This was originally the Jialong Hospital in Jiecheng."
That's right, the original name of the Black Prince Hospital is Gia Long Hospital. The reason why it is called "Black Prince" is because the chairman of the board of directors of this hospital is called Hei Yankai. His hospital has caused many serious medical accidents. According to incomplete statistics, hundreds of people have died.
The strange thing is that every time something about Gia Long Hospital becomes a big deal, the splash disappears silently. If you type the words "Gia Long Hospital" into a search engine, there will be no results.
People speculated that the chairman of the Jialong Hospital in Caicheng, Hei Yankai, had a special background and was given the name Black Prince. The hospital was also called the Black Prince Hospital.
Gao Mengtang's mother is a doctor and was transferred to this hospital for exchange and study. In her memory, this hospital was decorated in a simple and elegant style, just like the noble residences of the Middle Ages that advocated elegance.
In the year 366 of the New Era, the Black Prince Hospital was in decline, with few patients. The replica is set 10 years later, when the hospital was completely abandoned. However, the foggy blue gold-painted wallpaper in the corridor had not yet peeled, and the chandelier, though covered in dust, still looked exquisite.
When her mother was transferred to the hospital for exchange, Gao Mengtang went with her, but that was nearly 20 years ago and Gao Mengtang doesn't remember it clearly.
Gao Mengtang has a deep memory of "Black Prince Hospital" because...
"What's wrong, my comrade?" The crazy old sheep leaned over and knocked Gao Mengtang to stagger.
Gao Mengtang finally came to his senses and found that he had been stroking a door.
Burgundy solid wood door, golden house number: 408
"I've been to this ward." said Gao Mengtang.
Crazy Old Sheep stretched his neck to look at the floor map: "The 4th floor is the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology. Are you crazy too?"
Gao Mengtang: "No..."
He just went to college and studied mural painting.
Not long after the midterm exam, the dean suddenly found him and said that a rich old man saw Gao Mengtang's work and liked it very much. He wanted to invite him to make a wall relief mural.
Gao Mengtang went there happily. The remuneration for a whole wall of relief murals starts at six figures. And if there is a wall for murals, it must be a luxury house, and the owners of luxury houses are mostly generous.
I flew all the way to Jiecheng and found the driver who was supposed to meet me. When I got there, I saw that the old man was staying in Ward 408 of the Black Prince Hospital.
The old man gave Gao Mengtang a design drawing...
"What kind of mural is it?" Crazy Old Sheep asked curiously.
Gao Mengtang held his head and frowned as he thought: "I can't remember clearly, a man was kneeling on the ground. His long hair covered his face. A long and pointed magic wand was inserted diagonally into the ground. The sharp end of the magic wand pierced into his eye socket and came out from the back of his head..."
For the next half semester, there was always a driver to pick up Gao Mengtang. After the plane landed in Xizhou, they blindfolded him and took him to the old man's mansion.
After the mural was completed, Gao Mengtang fell into a long period of depression and switched to sculpture.
He remembered that the man kneeling on the ground was in pain, raising his hands and trying to touch his blinded eyes.
The blind...
Gao Mengtang murmured unconsciously: "The blind man..."
"Let's go, pretty baby, the food is ready!" Crazy Old Sheep pulled Gao Mengtang up to the top floor, the fifth floor.
There were a few big words written at the entrance: Hospice Department.
Gao Mengtang: "...Isn't this a bit unlucky?"
"Who? Who is it?" A voice came over. Gao Mengtang was very familiar with her voice. It was Grandma Hua.
"Crazy Old Sheep, you're out, you're really out!" Grandma Hua was leaning on a crutch, walking briskly, her eyes filled with tears. She hugged Crazy Old Sheep tightly, stroking his back lovingly as if she were stroking her grandson.
They came to the common room on the top floor. It was very clean. People gathered in groups of three or four. In front of them was a low coffee table with a large pot on it. Food was stewing in it. The steam was rising and the aroma was fragrant.
Those who knew Crazy Old Sheep were moved to tears and expressed their excitement with hugs. Those who didn't know Crazy Old Sheep asked around to find out about his legendary experience.
A group of people cried and laughed. After their emotions stabilized, the crazy old sheep took an old hospital gown and wiped the tears from his rock skin: "The one who helped me steal the key was a ghost. She is still in the courtroom. I don't know if she can escape."
Grandma Hua whispered to her curly hair: "Ghosts can be completely invisible in places where there is no direct light. Believe in her and wish her the best."
After saying that, Grandma Hua turned to look at Gao Mengtang and held his hand tightly: "Baby, I heard about your situation. I want to know why you wanted to escape from prison after only being in jail for three days?"
Gao Mengtang stared at the crazy old sheep silently.
"Do you want to return to the Axe Man family as soon as possible?" Grandma Hua continued.
Gao Mengtang: "Hmm... hm?"
When they looked up, the people around the pot all looked up at Gao Mengtang. Their eyes were filled with cautious expectation, longing for a positive answer.
The heat from the pot scorched their eyes. Gao Mengtang was too embarrassed to tell the truth.
"I... miss you guys very much." Gao Mengtang said softly.
Grandma Hua hugged Gao Mengtang tightly and stroked his hair: "Grandma knows. Grandma knows that you are stubborn, that's why you refuse to submit to the Court of Inquiry. Even if it's only three days, you have to escape. You are so stubborn!"
"Right!" The mermaid patted his tail. "What right does the Court of Justice have to convict us? If the pretty doll refuses to obey them, he will escape even if it's one day or three hours, not to mention three days. This is not a matter of time, it's an attitude, this is a style!"
The crazy old sheep also shouted: "I will never get involved with the Court of Inquiry!"
...Whatever you say is what it is. Gao Mengtang didn't intend to explain.
His heroic act of "not bowing to three days' imprisonment" deeply moved the Axe Man. These combinations of monsters and humans all cast respectful glances at him.
"My name is Broken Heart," the man with a mermaid tail walked over and shook hands with Gao Mengtang. "When we first met, I looked down on your sissy appearance. But now, you are the most majestic person among us! You are our role model!"
The man with eyes on his forehead also came over and shook hands with Gao Mengtang. When they first met, he also spoke rudely: "My name is Tianyan. Hero, I apologize for the previous offense."
"My name is Corrosive Jelly." said the slime head, and the brain floating in the translucent jelly swayed with his movements.
"I'm a left winger."
"My name is Chess Boy."
“…”
Everyone in the room took turns introducing themselves to Gao Mengtang. As he shook hands and hugged them one by one, Gao Mengtang suddenly realized a serious problem:
He joined the Axe Man just to repair ID cards and make some extra money.
Somehow, he was given the title of "benchmark" and was absorbed as a part of it.
It seems that it is not easy to leave again...
Duanchang clapped his hands, signaling everyone to listen to him: "Everyone should learn from him--" He pointed at Gao Mengtang, "He has only been in the Axe Cutter for a few days? His will is already very firm! We should learn from him and fight against the Court of Justice to the death. If the Court of Justice scolds us, we will slap them back. If the Court of Justice takes action, we will fight back. If the Court of Justice uses bullshit laws to judge us, we will not accept it and will fight!"
“Just do it!”
“I don’t agree!”
"Kill them all!"
The mutants had amazing lung capacity, and dozens of them shouted with the momentum of a tsunami. Gao Mengtang sat among them, his expression changing from confusion to surprise and then to solemnity.
Never mind, let’s just install it first.
"Grandma Hua, the pretty doll doesn't have an honorary title yet." The heartbroken mermaid's tail slapped the floor, and he took a badge from his chest, "My honor, the golden axe. I got it by killing three bastards from the Hall of Justice."
They started discussing at once, and Gao Mengtang listened from the side, roughly understanding the internal structure of the organization.
The Axemen oppose the six-class citizen system and do not classify members within the organization. Except for Grandma Hua, who is the leader, everyone else is equal.
But the organization needs a reward mechanism, so they set up four levels of honorary titles:
Stone Axe, Bronze Axe, Silver Axe, Gold Axe, Diamond Axe, Bloodthirsty Axe, and the highest level "Beheading Axe".
"The pretty baby should be given the title of Guillotines!" Crazy Old Sheep said loudly, "He is our spiritual leader!"
Heartbroken: "I agree!"
Corrosive Jelly: "Agreed!"
Chess boy: “I agree!”
The seconding voices came one after another. Grandma Hua looked at them with a smile and held Gao Mengtang's hand again: "Baby, Grandma Hua will give you the honorary title of Guillotine, okay?"
Things were becoming more and more beyond expectations. Gao Mengtang blinked, not knowing what to say.
"Are you so happy that you can't speak?" Duanchang patted Gao Mengtang's shoulder vigorously, "Don't refuse, this is the honor you deserve!"
The Guillotines' Medal of Honor was two axes crossed in a cross. A group of people rushed to put it on Gao Mengtang.
Crazy Old Sheep said: "We still need a nickname. We can't keep calling him Pretty Baby."
Gao Mengtang finally knew what to say: "My name is Gao——"
"It's not important." Broken Heart covered his mouth. "Joining the Axe Man means breaking away from the past. The Court of Inquisition does the same. You need a new name."
The choice of nickname is usually related to the character's characteristics. For example, Crazy Sheep, Corrosive Jelly, etc...
Gao Mengtang is a fifth-class citizen, belonging to a minority group among the Axemen. He is a thorough human being, with no special features except that he is good-looking.
"Princess?" The chess boy tilted his head.
Crazy Old Sheep: "Are you a woman?"
Gao Mengtang: “No!”
"That should be called Prince!" Crazy Old Sheep pounded his fist.
Grandma Hua thought for a moment and shook her head: "Prince, it sounds too soft and has no deterrent effect. It's better to call..."
She looked up and saw a wooden plaque: Public Lounge of Jialong Hospital, Jialong City
"How about calling it Black Prince?" Grandma Hua said with a smile, "You may not know that Gia Long Hospital has another name, Black Prince Hospital. This is our base camp and our spiritual pillar, so let's call it Black Prince, how about that?"
The crazy old sheep stamped his hoof and said, "Good!"
“It sounds good!”
"Welcome newcomers! Welcome Black Prince!"
Grandma Hua also clapped slowly: "Welcome, Black Prince of the Guillotines."
