Chapter 85 Blood of the Beast
Almost the moment Lu Qian finished speaking, the whole room began to shake.
Cheng Yi couldn't stand firmly for a moment, staggered two steps, and fell into the house.
Then the sound of metal colliding came from all directions. After the loud rumbling sound ended, there were several crisp and loud "pop" sounds, which were the sounds of metal products merging.
There was a click, as if some buckle was locked.
Cheng Yi became alert instantly and rushed to the door.
The originally empty door was now tightly covered with a whole piece of metal.
He clenched his fist, making a crackling sound, and punched the wooden wall.
The whistling sound of the fist was enough to show the power and speed of the punch.
“Click.”
After a few sounds, the wooden board shattered, but Cheng Yi's fist suffered another heavy impact.
After the wooden fragments fell off with a crackling sound, a whole steel wall was exposed.
After receiving a punch from Cheng Yi with almost all his strength, the steel plate did not move at all, not even a trace was left.
When Cheng Yi retracted his knuckles, they actually trembled slightly.
The walls of this room are an illusion.
Cheng Yi's eyebrows knitted together instantly. This is... an iron cage...
The thickness and hardness of this steel plate are not ordinary at all.
This trap was indeed a great effort.
Lu Qian hurried forward, stroked Cheng Yi's trembling arm, gently pried open his knuckles, and soothed him gently.
Cheng Yi's frown relaxed a little. He raised his hand to rub Lu Qian's head and said softly, "Don't be afraid. Qi Huang and the others are on their way."
The next moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, the unhurried sound was like music.
Just by listening to the footsteps, you can imagine how elegant and casual this person's pace is.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and stopped abruptly at the door of the iron cage.
Lu Qian’s brows furrowed. Who…is this person?
"Cheng Yi, I never thought that I would see you in such a miserable state in my lifetime."
Hearing this gentle yet somewhat evil voice ringing in his ears, Cheng Yi knew which old friend it was without even raising his head.
"Heh, Bai Yao," Cheng Yi sneered, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone, "I didn't expect you to come here in person."
"You're still so smart."
There was surprise mixed in Bai Yao's gentle voice, which showed his high recognition of Cheng Yi.
"You've almost unraveled the plan I set up."
"But fortunately, I succeeded in the last round."
Cheng Yi embraced Lu Qian, let her lean on his arms, and looked outside the door vigilantly.
It turned out that this trap had been set from the moment he decided to attend the banquet.
Cheng Yi should have realized earlier that Claude invited him to the dinner through Vincenzo instead of finding him directly. This was already a bit abnormal from the beginning.
Bai Yao's gentle voice sounded again, with disdain in his words: "These losers really didn't let me down. Every step, every step, was in line with my expectations."
After hearing this, Cheng Yi's stern brows sank even more.
"Bai Yao, you've gone through so much trouble, you wouldn't just lock me up here, right?"
He knows Bai Yao very well.
cooperate?
Bai Yao would not bother to cooperate with those good-for-nothings.
He only guides and calculates, sees through their thoughts and greed, and then makes them willingly become his pawns.
Every step they take "voluntarily" is his plan.
"hehe……"
Bai Yao's chuckle sounded from behind the door, passing through the steel cell door into the room, sounding extremely cold-blooded.
"On the way here, I guess you smelled the medicine I gave you, right?"
Cheng Yi lowered his brows, and his cold and murderous eyes shone through the prison door, as if he wanted to torture Bai Yao to death.
“…”
Feeling Cheng Yi's silence, Bai Yao laughed even more wantonly: "Hahahahahaha——"
"I really didn't expect that Mr. Cheng had such a big secret."
A wave of coldness suddenly swept across Cheng Yi's body, and Lu Qian, who was held in his arms, couldn't help but stiffen.
He opened his thin lips slightly, his tone dropping to freezing point: "How did you know?"
"You're really forgetful."
Bai Yao stood outside the door, pushing up his glasses. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the steel prison door in front of him, and he looked at Cheng Yi.
"Didn't my trap treat Mr. Cheng well in Beigang?"
Cheng Yi clicked his tongue lightly upon hearing this, his tongue brushing across his back teeth, a hint of annoyance showing on his face.
Lu Qian heard Bai Yao's words, Beigang, isn't that the place where she and Cheng Yi met?
His trap... couldn't he be referring to the 20cm knife wound on Cheng Yi's body at that time?
Cheng Yi held Lu Qian tightly in his arms and asked coldly, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I didn't actually want you to die."
There seemed to be some regret in Bai Yao's tone, which was the regret for losing an equally powerful opponent.
"But I sent someone to test your genetic report. The secrets flowing in your blood shocked me. I want to see what a person with beast blood flowing in his body would do when his instincts are released."
Lu Qian was startled by Bai Yao's words. She didn't understand, but was shocked.
The blood of a wild beast flows in his body... Are you referring to Cheng Yi?
Bai Yao continued speaking, his voice still elegant and gentle: "Don't you love this woman very much?"
"If I let you destroy her with your own hands, what would you do? Would you go crazy? And then commit suicide?"
“…”
The murderous intent emanating from Cheng Yi could no longer be concealed, like ice-cold water dripping out from the crack of a door. He clenched his back teeth tightly, and veins on his jaw had already appeared due to his rage.
Bai Yao felt the murderous intent coming out, but his smile became even more evil.
"Hehehe... Don't you like to test drugs on my people?"
"This time, I'll let you experience what it's like to be a test subject."
“Bang!”
After Bai Yao finished speaking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
As the fingers snapped, a series of crackling sounds were heard in the room, followed by a thin stream of smoke escaping from the four corners of the roof.
Cheng Yi frowned and quickly raised his hand to cover Lu Qian's mouth and nose.
But Bai Yao seemed to be able to see Cheng Yi's movements and said, "Don't worry... This is not a fatal drug."
He casually took off his glasses and wiped them gently. The gentleness in his words seemed to comfort Cheng Yi.
"It's just a little bit of a catalyst that can fully and effectively utilize the compound neurological drug you just inhaled."
When Cheng Yi heard this, his breathing became heavier. His rage had passed its peak and he regained his composure.
"Bai Yao..."
When Bai Yao heard this extremely calm call, he restrained his smile a little and leisurely lit a cigarette for himself.
"I simply wish to unleash the beast within you... to allow you to follow your primal desires... the desire for destruction, the desire for sex, and even... the desire for food."
"I'm looking forward to what you will do to the prey around you, or..."
"What to do to yourself?"
Bai Yao stretched out his slender knuckles, holding a thin cigarette, and gently knocked on the outside of the iron prison door. The vibration of the steel made the knock last longer.
Cheng Yi recognized the melody formed by the intermittent tapping.
"Requiem".
After a moment, Bai Yao retracted his knuckles and smiled softly: "Cheng Yi, are you satisfied with the elegy I played for you?"
“…”
Cheng Yi held Lu Qian's shoulders tightly.
The force was so great that Lu Qian felt a dull pain, but she still did not let go. Instead, she kept her hands tightly around Cheng Yi's waist.
She wanted to tell him that she was there.
Bai Yao chuckled, threw the half-smoked cigarette in front of the cell door, put his hands in his pockets and turned around.
Saying goodbye to Cheng Yi in a gentle and elegant voice:
"Your men will be well-served by the dungeon, which is filled with traps and enough explosives to blow up an entire building."
"Enjoy your last moments. Goodbye, or rather, farewell."
