Chapter 468 (Completing)
Wen Luozhi searched for a long time before finding the place. There were heavy guards at the entrance, but it was as if there were none to her.
Wu Yao found it very exciting to come here for the first time and wanted to go in to see what it was like, but Wen Luozhi stopped her.
"Wait here for me. If anyone goes in, come in and tell me immediately."
"Alright then, don't worry, just go about your business. I'll keep watch for you."
Although she felt a little disappointed, Wu Yao still obediently stood at the door and watched, because she had promised when she came.
Wen Luozhi used an invisibility talisman and swaggered in. She didn't see a single prisoner inside the prison, but there were more guards than outside.
She went back and used a little trick, and those people collapsed without warning.
She finally found Helian Yue and Gu Yunqi after a smooth journey, but was almost scared to death by Gu Yunqi.
In the dim, weak firelight, she saw Gu Yunqi holding a mouse to his mouth, his mouth wide open as if he wanted to eat it.
She was terrified and was about to appear to stop him when Gu Yunqi threw the rat away, still complaining, "I'm starving! If this keeps up, I'll starve to death before I'm even beheaded!"
"Someone come here...someone come here...bring me some food!" he shouted weakly, clearly starving.
When Wen Luozhi arrived in front of Helian Yue, she could only look at him through the prison door.
In just three or four days, Helian Yue had lost a lot of weight. The two bloody holes on his collarbone had scabbed over, and the blood clots and iron chains were stuck together, which looked painful.
"A-Yue," she called softly, but Helian Yue was delirious with fever and couldn't hear her at all.
Gu Yunqi, in the next cell, patted his ear.
He was so hungry that he started hallucinating and heard Luo Zhi's voice.
He leaned against the wall and pressed his stomach tightly, which made him feel a little better.
Noticing the unusual blush on Helian Yue's face, Wen Luozhi panicked and quickly moved to call Gu Yunqi.
"Wang Liu! Wang Liu! Get up quickly!"
Gu Yunqi suddenly opened his eyes, which he had just closed, and looked around but didn't see anyone.
Seeing his reaction, Wen Luozhi was overjoyed and called out to him twice more, "I am Luozhi, I am in front of your cell door."
Now it was Gu Yunqi's turn to get excited. He stood up abruptly, almost falling back down because he hadn't eaten in a long time.
Wen Luozhi's heart clenched at the sight, and she hurriedly said, "Slow down, slow down, I'm right here."
Now that he was sure he hadn't misheard, Gu Yunqi clung to the cell door, almost bursting into tears.
"Luo Zhi, are you dead? Why can't I see you?"
"Waaah, it's okay, I'm starving to death too. I'll come find you to play after I die."
Wen Luozhi: ...
She rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless. "You're the one who's dead! I used a special method so you can't see me, but I can't get inside."
"I'll leave you some food. You can give A-Yue his medicine in a bit."
Gu Yunqi found it amazing, but now was not the time to talk about it, so he nodded hurriedly.
Wen Luozhi took out some easily digestible food, but she only dared to take enough for one meal; if she took more, she would be in big trouble if she was discovered.
Gu Yunqi's eyes lit up as he looked at the pile of things that appeared out of nowhere, but he still thought of Helian Yue first.
He moved over and called out a few times, but Helian Yue stirred slightly and still didn't wake up, which almost drove him crazy with worry.
Wen Luozhi slapped her forehead. She could have found something long to hand it to her! She was just too worried.
Just as Gu Yunqi was worrying, he saw a long pole with something tied to it reaching out towards Helian Yue.
Wen Luozhi used both hands to hold the syringe to Helian Yue's lips and pressed it down. Seeing him swallow, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the person wouldn't wake up anytime soon, she fed them a lot of glucose before stopping.
Gu Yunqi was stunned and speechless.
"Eat up! What are you standing there for? I've already fed A-Yue, so don't worry."
"Oh, okay! Okay!" Gu Yunqi picked up a pot of water and gulped it down. The burning sensation in his throat finally disappeared.
What they took out at the beginning was not enough, so Wen Luozhi simply asked him what he wanted to eat and asked him to take it out himself.
Gu Yunqi was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears, and he ate his fill in front of the prison gate.
Wen Luozhi had been watching Helian Yue, and just as he finished eating and was about to say something, Wu Yao ran in.
"Luo Zhi! How long is the invisibility talisman's effect? Someone's come in!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Luozhi quickly got up and woke the others up. They were all dazed to see her lying on the ground.
Realizing what had happened, they thought to themselves, "Oh no!" and ran over to check on Helian Yue and the others. Thankfully, the two of them were still obediently in their cells.
Gu Yunqi leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, extremely nervous, terrified that Wen Luozhi and another stranger would be discovered.
Hearing Qin Yu's voice, he opened his eyes and couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw Qin Yu's swollen, pig-like face.
"Haha, did Vice General Qin slip and fall while walking at night?"
"Tsk tsk, all we need now is a handful of vermicelli."
Qin Yu didn't understand what he meant, but he was happy to see that Helian Yue looked like he was about to die.
"Let's see how long you can keep laughing, strategist Gu!"
He went to bed early today, and dreamt that Helian Yue escaped from the imperial prison and was chasing after him with a sword.
He was startled awake from his dream. He quickly dressed and brought people to see what was happening. He was trembling with fear the whole way, but thankfully it was just a false alarm.
Seeing that Helian Yue remained motionless, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he reached for the iron chain closest to him.
"You fat pig! What are you doing?!" Gu Yunqi roared.
Qin Yu was furious and grabbed the iron chain to pull it. He knew that if he pulled it, Helian Yue would be in excruciating pain!
The moment he touched the iron chain, Wen Luozhi's steel needle pierced upwards, piercing his hand from the palm to the back of his hand.
"Ah!" Qin Yu screamed, spreading out his hands to see a dozen or so holes of various sizes.
There's nothing on the chain!
He shivered, his lips trembling. "Who! Who...who's playing tricks on me!"
The others also swallowed nervously, their eyes darting around.
They'd heard plenty of stories about haunted prisons, and now it was the middle of the night...
Everyone shuddered. Gu Yunqi leaned against the corner of the wall to watch the show, while Helian Yue's finger twitched next to him.
Wen Luozhi was furious at the thought of Qin Yu's vicious actions earlier, so she leaned close to Qin Yu and blew a breath on his neck.
Qin Yu's pupils dilated and his forehead broke out in a sweat. Seeing that the people around him didn't react, he figured it was probably the wind.
Wen Luozhi switched sides and whispered plaintively in his ear, "General, why didn't you take me with you when you went out?"
Wu Yao moved closer to his other side, her voice even more mournful and terrifying, "Hehehe~ I've finally found you, my love."
"I'm so lonely, will you come down and keep me company?"
"Aaaaaah! A ghost! There's a ghost!"
Two ghostly voices rang in his ears, and Qin Yu was so frightened that he jumped into his attendant's arms and hugged the man's neck tightly.
The others heard it too, and hurriedly drew their swords and waved them wildly in the air.
Gu Yunqi covered his mouth and chuckled, watching them jump around like immortals.
Wen Luozhi wasn't about to let Qin Yu off so easily. She grabbed his neck and screamed, "Where's my head? Where's my head? It's mine! Give it back to me!"
Qin Yu was choked so hard he could hardly breathe, and the attendant was so terrified he didn't dare to move.
Remembering how the ghost had taken his head off and played with it the night before, Qin Yu used all his strength to break free.
He doesn't want his head to be ripped off!
After breaking free, he ran desperately outside, with his attendants and jailers running in disarray behind him.
"This is boring, you're such a coward," Wu Yao complained, clearly not having had enough fun.
Wen Luozhi thought that they had been out for a long time, so she grabbed her and started to leave.
"I'm leaving now, I'll come see you again tomorrow," she said to Gu Yunqi.
Before leaving, she glanced at Helian Yue one last time, then hardened her heart and turned away, afraid that if she stayed any longer she would lose her temper and blow up the place to take him away.
Gu Yunqi couldn't see them either, and could only look pitifully at the road leading out, saying, "You absolutely have to come!"
On the way back, Wu Yao nudged Wen Luozhi with her elbow and teased, "Is that man who looks a bit dead your lover?"
Wen Luozhi glared at her and ignored her. Wu Yao caught up and said, "I've finally figured it out these past two days, but why don't you just get them out? It's too much trouble."
She looked exhausted from running around; it's so dangerous for a young girl to do something like that.
“There are many things you don’t know. He has his own plans, and I’ll just support him,” Wen Luozhi replied. Wu Yao shrugged, still not understanding.
Qin Yu rushed home in a panic, ran to his bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and shouted at his attendants, "Go! Go find me a few powerful masters!"
He was now absolutely certain that he was being haunted by a ghost! He absolutely had to find a master to exorcise it!
He stretched out his pierced hand, and only now, as he relaxed, did he realize the excruciating pain it caused.
