The jailer who was on guard outside disappeared at some point, and only the handsome bald monk was standing there.
He looked at Ren Dongnan with kind eyes, as if they were old friends meeting, and his eyes were gentle.
Although he looked such a peaceful person, Lao Lu stood up straight involuntarily for some reason, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
Although Ren Dongnan couldn't see his expression, he could hear his voice. He looked at him warily and didn't respond.
Huiji sighed, "After so many years, you've become increasingly disobedient. I wanted to have a good talk with you, but I didn't expect you to be so uncooperative."
As he spoke, he shook his head and looked at Ren Dongnan as if he was looking at a disobedient child at home.
Such a look made Lao Lu feel very disgusted: "Little monk! What nonsense are you talking about! This is not the place for you to play around, prison boss! Prison boss!"
Lao Lu lay on the prison door and shouted outside several times but there was no response.
Only then did he realize that the incessant screams and cries in the cell had disappeared at some point. The entire cell was like a dead object, so silent that it made people feel uneasy.
This discovery made his feet go cold. Shocked, he turned around and grabbed Ren Dongnan's shoulders: "Old Ren, listen! It seems like there's no one here! All of a sudden, there's no one here!"
Ren Dongnan said solemnly, "This is the mastermind behind arresting you."
Lao Lu gasped and looked in shock at the monk in front of him who was only in his twenties.
This is actually the great master that everyone talks about as "highly respected"?
This age is totally inconsistent with his behavior style!
Huiji turned around and looked at Lao Lu apologetically: "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position in order to find this old acquaintance of mine."
Seeing him like this, Lao Lu couldn't help but rub his arms and yelled at the top of his lungs: "Someone come! Is there anyone?!"
Huiji smiled and said, "I'm sure most people are asleep by now. Why don't you two come with me?"
The moment Ren Dongnan heard this, the flying knife in his hand flew out. Lao Lu coordinated by bending his body, and the flying knife stabbed towards Hui Ji's throat.
Huiji didn't seem surprised by Ren Dongnan's action. He only lifted his foot slightly and shifted his position at the moment Ren Dongnan attacked. His wide sleeves trembled slightly with the movement. He clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist verse: "Amitabha."
With two clangs, the flying knife fell to the ground.
Ren Dongnan and Lao Lu also stood there, unable to move or speak, and could only watch Hui Ji approach the cell.
He raised his hand and picked up the lock on the prison door, squeezed it hard, and the lock was broken.
·····
Because Ji Changying often came to visit the Criminal Investigation Department during this period, he basically knew all the people guarding the gate.
When they saw it was her coming to stop them, they didn't try to stop her and just let her go.
However, she didn't see Xie Siheng and Chuan Qiong when she came here today. She only found Ying Er who was having dinner. "Where is your master?"
Ying Er saw that it was her and stood up. "My Lord has been in Silent Hill for a day. There are many things going on there and he hasn't returned yet. Why are you here to visit Mr. Ren again today?"
"Yeah!" Ji Changying lifted the food in her hand and said, "Let's go eat something together. I bought quite a lot."
A hint of greed flashed across Ying Er's face, and he walked towards the prison while talking to her.
Before they even reached the place, Ji Changying's face changed: "No! Something happened!"
She threw all the food boxes in her hands to Ying Er, and rushed into the prison on tiptoe.
Seeing this, Ying Er hurriedly followed.
After the two entered, they found that the jailer at the door had fallen to one side at some point, and even the people in the prison were not spared, and they all seemed to have fallen asleep.
Ji Changying went straight to the cell of Ren Dongnan and Lao Lu, only to find that it was empty!
The supernatural power extended to Lai Ma's cell, and it was discovered that Lai Ma, who was lying on the ground, was also missing!
Ying Er shook Yun Xiao anxiously: "Wake up! Wake up!"
Seeing Yunxiao standing there without any reaction, he threw the food box at him and gave him two big slaps in the face.
Yunxiao frowned after being hit, and Ying Er immediately slapped him several more times. Only then did Yunxiao struggle to open his eyes.
"Yunxiao! Are you awake? What happened? Why are you fainted here?"
Ying Er asked immediately when he saw him wake up.
Yunxiao's brain took two seconds to react to what Ying Er was saying. He shuddered and realized that his whole body was weak.
He looked around and found that everyone was in a coma. The jailer next to him was even holding a whip dipped in salt and half-used.
Even the prisoners tied to the racks had their heads hung down as if they were asleep.
"I don't know... There's a prisoner here about to be tortured. I was just about to come over to study his anatomy, and then... I seemed to smell something, but before I could react, I lost consciousness. What happened?"
Ji Changying came running over: "Something happened! My master and the others are missing, and Lai Ma is also missing! Wasn't Huiji arrested? Where is he being held? Let's go and check!"
Ying Er broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He quickly left Yunxiao and ran to the deepest part of the cell. He opened an underground passage and went down inside. Then he found that the four people guarding him had died.
Seeing this scene, Ji Changying didn't need to ask any questions. She turned around and rushed out of the Criminal Investigation Department.
Huiji escaped with three people alone, and maybe he didn't go very far.
After searching the Criminal Investigation Department with her supernatural power, she found nothing. She saw a high attic and climbed up to the roof by stepping on the wall. Her mental power spread out in all directions with her side as the center.
Just as she was concentrating on looking for someone, someone in the attic discovered her and asked, "Who is it?"
Gongye Hong felt depressed when he thought about what happened in the palace. He wanted to go out for some fresh air, but when he looked up, he vaguely saw someone standing in the wind on the roof of his attic.
At first he thought he was seeing things, but after rubbing his eyes he realized it was indeed a person! He immediately shouted and called the guards.
Ji Changying ignored it and looked at the places where she thought Huiji might be found, and sure enough, she found him!
It was because Lao Lu's figure was too conspicuous that she noticed him at a glance!
Huiji had sneaked into Prince Duan's Mansion with these three people at some point, and was now hiding in a small room!
A gust of wind blew towards Ji Changying. She turned around to block it, and looked at the person standing in front of her with some surprise: "Crown Prince of Beiyan?"
Gong Yehong was also taken aback when he saw Ji Changying: "Why are you here?"
Ji Changying had never expected that the high attic she had randomly found was actually the residence of the Crown Prince of Beiyan. She immediately said apologetically, "I'll borrow your rooftop for a moment! I'll come and apologize tomorrow. I have something else to do today, so I'll leave first!"
