Chapter 48 Un Entertainment: Faced with a choice, the young man extends his right hand, which is not holding a knife...
Based on the experience this morning, the way to use the Hungry Wood is for the person and the wood to look at each other.
The soul is then contained within the wood, and when the wooden man gives the command, the soul will return to its place.
Therefore, their time attached to the hungry wood was probably less than five minutes.
Unlike the Yin Qi Wood, the Hungry Wood was not full of malice. Just to be on the safe side, Ji Yang still suggested that he take the lead.
However, to Jiang Yang's surprise, the first thing Hungry Wood said after waking up was...
"Hey, 9032, I'm hungry."
The hungry wood took on the appearance of Ji Yang, clearly possessing Ji Yang's soul, yet the real 9033 seemed to have found an outlet for its emotions.
Jiang Yang tentatively pushed him forward, and Ji Yang squeezed into the other side of the barrier, his features scrunched up in a pitiful expression.
The young man, hands on his hips, declared confidently, "You ate my rice and bitter melon for lunch today, and you also drank my yogurt. Now you have to do me a favor!"
"9032, what should we eat next time?"
"Next time I'll give you the meat! And you can have the corn too!"
Anyway, as long as Jiang Yang doesn't have to eat bitter melon, anything goes, even going hungry is fine.
Ji Yang patted his belly and walked forward with satisfaction.
One step... two steps...
He slowly got closer and closer to the wooden figure, then suddenly he stopped.
After a long while, he slightly raised his left hand, and when the wooden figure shouted "three, two, one," he disappeared from everyone's sight along with the body that had fallen next to Jiang Yang.
"How could he be gone!"
Several people surrounded Jiang Yang, asking, "Has he found a way out?"
Jiang Yang felt inexplicably irritated. "How should I know?"
I quickened my pace to get around the crowd, but was soon blocked again.
"You're not allowed to leave! What were you saying about being hungry? Tell me the truth!"
The wooden figure seemed to have anticipated the chaotic scene, and before giving the command, Jiang Yang was pushed and staggered. He turned his head and his eyes hardened. He held the small knife in his hand and stabbed it straight at the person.
The speed was so fast that there was no chance to dodge. The knife pierced the person's shoulder and he twisted it hard before pulling it out.
Blood spurted out, and Jiang Yang said, "Next time, I'll stab your neck."
Before leaving, Ji Yang gave him a potion to strengthen his body, and he never expected it to improve him so much.
He wasn't afraid of bloodshed; after all, if he didn't intimidate these people, they would be nothing more than troublemakers.
"Don't speak..."
Jiang Yang was unaware that two or three people behind him were secretly plotting something.
"Don't move!"
Something hit Jiang Yang on the back, and Jiang Yang fell to the ground due to inertia. The fishing line detected his violation and swung it down forcefully.
Faced with this choice, the young man extended his right hand, which was not holding a knife, and the fishhook pierced his fair and clean palm, instantly turning it crimson.
Jiang Yang sat on the ground and looked back. He immediately spotted several people in the crowd who were trying to trip him up. A sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, and he suddenly laughed.
"Let me bandage you up," a roll of bandage was handed to him; it was from the person Ji Yang had saved.
Jiang Yang took the medicine and pressed it firmly against her bleeding palm, then looked up and asked, "What's your name?"
"MiG".
He stood up. "Thank you, Miguel. I'll get you out of here."
Miguel opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately said nothing.
Staggering forward, Miguel glanced down and saw the man's torn trouser leg and the seeping blood. "Hey, your leg."
"It's alright," the physical enhancement had reduced his sensitivity to pain to a minimum, but it wouldn't last long, and he had to hurry.
Moreover, he vaguely remembered that something flew out before Ji Yang disappeared.
That force and direction must have been lost by Ji Yang, so he had to get it before anyone else.
Thinking of something, he waved to Miguel.
Miguel ran up to the man, and after Jiang Yang's instructions, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head, thus getting on Jiang Yang's bandwagon.
Jiang Yang moved forward little by little, and this time no further trouble arose. When Jiang Yang reached the spot he remembered, the ground was indeed the hungry wood they had picked up before.
In other words, Ji Yang disappeared under the identity of Ji Yang.
Jiang Yang held the piece of wood in deep thought. In another round, he would be back at the place where time had reversed last time.
He wasn't sure if he could start over. After a moment of hesitation, he picked up the piece of wood, focused his eyes on it, and felt a sudden tremor run through the depths of his soul.
"Hey, 9032, I'm hungry."
Like a pre-programmed sequence, 9033 left only this one sentence.
Jiang Yang realized what was happening.
He realized he had been tricked by Ji Yang.
Fueled by his "anger" for Ji Yang, Jiang Yang strode forward until he reached the spot where Ji Yang had disappeared.
On the left, there was probably the only door in the corridor, wide open and brightly lit.
He couldn't see what was inside the wood.
Finally, when the wooden figure's head clicked for the first time, they went inside.
His eyes cleared instantly. Ji Yang was right in front of him. The young man put his arms around him and said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, hungry?"
Ji Yang touched his nose, his eyes darting around.
Before she could even come up with a way to defend herself, she noticed Jiang Yang's injured right hand.
The gauze was a tangled mess in his palm. Ji Yang lowered his eyes to suppress the emotions rising within them, his tone tinged with reproach, "What happened?"
Jiang Yang pouted, "I got bullied."
With the medicine expiring in a minute, Jiang Yang temporarily put aside her grudges with Ji Yang and allowed the gauze that had dried blood and stuck to her skin to be removed and re-bandaged.
When the time came, the piercing pain in his palm assaulted him, forcing two lines of tears to fall. The young man sobbed, "Avenge me."
"good."
After finally catching his breath, Jiang Yang was able to observe the room. The room was empty, except for a conspicuous black iron door on the wall opposite the main entrance.
Jiang Yang stepped forward, turned around, and asked, "Could this be the exit to escape the mental hospital?"
Ji Yang gave him an affirmative answer, "Yes."
“But I can’t get out,” he said, shaking the fishing lines all over his body.
"Roue insists that you kill the wooden figure, right?"
"I don't know," but he's probably the most likely one to kill the wooden figure.
Back near the corridor, the wooden figure was less than two meters away from them, and he could even see its appearance clearly.
It wasn't the same wooden figure they had encountered that morning.
Jiang Yang didn't know that if Huang Er were here, Huang Er would definitely recognize him as the boy he had seen on the -3 floor.
"Did you feel anything when you got close to it?" Jiang Yang asked.
Ji Yang stood beside the person and carefully uttered two words, "Heartbeat."
This reminded Jiang Yang of the wooden heart that trapped Yue Jiang. "So there's a real person inside?"
The small knife with a copper handle lay in the palm of his left hand. The young man clenched his fist tightly, unable to determine whether he could kill the wooden figure.
Either escape the asylum or kill the wooden man.
Roue forced them to kill the wooden figure, and they had no other choice.
Ultimately, it all comes down to Roue's problem.
What if we kill Roue...?
"First, force Roue to show himself."
Jiang Yang had a crazy idea, but he still needed to test it.
Three minutes later, the test subject arrived, stumbling and staggering into the house, exclaiming, "Where am I?!"
Jiang Yang gestured with his chin toward the iron gate on the other side, "Hey, go out."
The person who ran in was Miguel. Before Jiang Yang left, he asked him, "Want to make a bet with me?"
Miguel asked excitedly, "Are we really going to get out?"
"You can give it a try."
Miguel had two illegal fishing lines attached to his body. Jiang Yang needed to determine whether only Ji Yang's fishing line couldn't go out through this door, or whether all the fishing lines couldn't.
"And what about you?"
"We have other things to do."
Miguel didn't ask any more questions; the continued fear made him desperately want to escape this place.
Standing in front of the iron gate, he looked slightly nervous. Jiang Yang kept a close eye on him, and then he pressed down the doorknob.
The door opened.
Miguel walked into the glowing path. "You guys have to come out."
...
must.
"And then?" Ji Yang asked.
"Wait," Jiang Yang said, now it was Jiang Yang's turn to be enigmatic.
With people leaving one after another, Jiang Yang believed that someone would definitely get restless. Besides, he had told Miguel to throw the wooden figure back before coming in.
Therefore, the outside world was in an uproar because of their successive departures.
Jiang Yang was waiting for people to come in one by one and then send them out one by one.
It continued until only he and Ji Yang were left on the field.
By then, only the two of them could complete the task of killing the wooden figures; Roue had no choice.
When the second person came in, Jiang Yang asked, "How many people are outside?"
The man hesitated, "About...twelve or thirteen..."
Seeing how timid the man was, Jiang Yang couldn't resist asking, "How did you get the wooden figure?"
“There was a fight, and we suddenly went back... I picked it up from behind.”
It seems that their stay here is unaffected by the time reversal.
"Go ahead," Ji Yang said, letting him pass through the iron gate. He rushed out without looking back.
Fewer and fewer people remained outside, and Jiang Yang even encountered the two who had tried to harm him.
With Ji Yang's support, Jiang Yang raised his hand, and the two of them decisively knelt down side by side before him.
He deflected the blame by saying, "It was all ordered by our boss; we dared not disobey."
"Alright, then let's wait for your boss to arrive. The three of you can stand up together and tie him up."
Jiang Yang gave the order, but Ji Yang was even more efficient. He threw down the rope and the two of them climbed over. "We'll do it ourselves, we'll do it ourselves."
It has to be said that the boss was really cautious; no one came in for ten minutes, and Jiang Yang was getting listless.
He turned around and blocked their way, asking, "Did you throw the wooden figure back?"
"Throw it away, throw it away," the one who came later nodded frantically, looking at Jiang Yang's back with a terrified expression.
Ji Yang walked up to Jiang Yang in front of the iron gate. "He's here."
Jiang Yang turned around, her gaze falling on the man who had arrived, and greeted him with a smile, "Hello."
Roue.
They were more impatient than they had anticipated.
