The fishy-smelling water flooded their mouths and noses. Tiaoye Caiju and Jie Shuyi held each other's wrists tightly. In the underground river with turbulent undercurrents, without any vision, they simply went with the flow.

Suehiro Tetsuji also wanted to jump into the cave, but was stopped by others with quick eyes and hands.

"There are undercurrents in the underground river. It's hard to control what will happen down there. We need people on the ground to support us. One more person going down there will be an additional risk." Fudi Yingchi grabbed his arm.

Suehiro Tetsuji's expression turned ugly, and there was an unconcealable worry on his straight face.

"That wild one..."

After Tachihara Michizo knocked Gin unconscious again, he stood up and said loudly, "It's okay, he knows his limits."

That’s right, among the people present, although Tiaoye Caiju is not the strongest, his observation and sharpness are definitely rare in the world.

Yes, if you know your limits, nothing will happen to you.

Having said that, Suehiro Tetsugu was obviously still worried. He closed his eyes slightly and held the blade tightly in his hand.

Okura Yezi was the first to guess his thoughts, and she stepped back without hesitation, and kindly pulled Fukuchi Yingchi back two steps.

"Special power - plum blossoms in the snow!"

The saber in his hand was extremely sharp, but it was twisted and bent to a degree visible to the naked eye. Suehiro Tiechang listened carefully to the movements beneath the ground.

He tried to guess the speed of the underground river water. At that moment, everything around him seemed to have stopped. He could only hear the gurgling water and the sound of tiny objects colliding.

When the saber in Suehiro's hand was stabbed into the ground, the twisted blade quickly attacked the target.

The murderous intent came straight towards Jie Shuyi's face. The men from the Hounds had clearly guessed that Tiao Ye Caiju was dragged into the undercurrent by Jie Shuyi, and they just wanted a shield to keep her life.

Unfortunately...Suehiro Tetsuji's special ability just happened to shatter his thoughts.

Even if it was impossible to kill Jie Shuyi, it was enough to force him to let go and allow Tiao Ye Cai Ju to return to the ground.

The sharp blade pierced his body, causing Xie Shuyi to breathe a sigh of relief due to the severe pain. He was already short of oxygen, and now he had to drag his injured body against the undercurrent, which made it even more strenuous.

The pierced right shoulder couldn't stop gushing out blood, and soon Tiao Ye Cai Ju could smell the strong smell of blood in the river in his mouth.

He held Jie Shuyi's wrist more and more tightly. He was really interested in Jie Shuyi and naturally didn't want to let such an interesting person escape easily.

But he was pulled in so urgently that there was not much air left in his abdomen. He could only hold on for another 30 seconds at most.

He wanted to pull Jie Shuyi back to the ground, but found that the latter would rather stay frozen in place, holding the dark stone underground, than go back the same way.

Gradually, Tiaoye Caiju truly understood Jie Shuyi's intention.

From beginning to end, Xie Shuyi never thought of escaping.

What he wants is to delay time.

The important thing was to make sure Yosano was completely out of the hound's sight.

I am willing to experience the despair of drowning in this lake.

The person who pulls the hound will also go to hell.

Tiaoye Caiju's tightly clenched hands suddenly loosened. He fluttered his hands, trying to break free from Shuyi's restraints, but it was not so easy to do. The fingers holding his wrists tightened even more.

Xie Shuyi's actions clearly confirmed what Tiao Ye Caiju said.

Madman, he really is a madman.

His special abilities clearly haven't fully recovered yet, so how can he be so bold and confident that he won't drown?

Or...he is not afraid of death at all?

There was not much air left in Tiaoye Caiju's abdominal cavity. He stopped pestering and used both hands to pull Jie Shu's wrists apart.

He seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking in the other person's calcified body, but he was too late to care about that.

Tiaoye Caiju's head felt increasingly heavy. Before he completely lost all oxygen, he finally held on with his last bit of strength and stretched out a hand from the cave.

Suehiro Tiechang quickly squatted down and pulled him up. Tiaoye Caiju fell to the ground weakly, gasping for breath.

"Where is he? Did he run away?" There was still blood on the knife in Suehiro Tiezhang's hand. Jionno Caiju just glanced at it and then looked away.

"It's hard to say. I broke his arm, so he probably doesn't have much oxygen left. Even if his ability is recovery, I'm afraid he will have to die many times underground before he can swim up."

Okura Yezi smiled and said, "Isn't there something wrong with his ability? The fluctuations in his body appear and disappear at times. He might really die in the ground."

No one present refuted this.

Most of them also believed that Xie Shuyi could either escape death or... die in this situation.

The protagonist who was the center of the topic was indeed half dead and almost lifeless.

He almost overdrew all the supernatural powers in his body before he could barely crawl into the underground tunnel at another entrance.

The foul smell hit him in the face, and made Jie Shuyi stagger and kneel on the ground.

My palms were instantly covered with sticky liquid. Even though there was no sunlight in the sewer, it was not difficult to guess that these were all city waste.

Xie Shuyi tried hard to stand up, but his weak body had no strength at all. Even kneeling on the ground was difficult for him. He felt dizzy and urgently needed something to replenish his energy.

As the saying goes, when you feel sleepy, someone will hand you a pillow.

When Xie Shuyi was feeling drowsy, he suddenly felt something rushing past his side. Before he turned his head to look, he felt a pain in his knee.

He lowered his head slowly.

A big rat, thicker than his forearm, was right in front of him, gnawing at his already old and frail calf.

Xie Shuyi reached out and grabbed it without any hesitation. The mouse was not light and felt heavy in his hand.

The big black rats live in the sewers all year round, eating the city's discarded garbage and drinking chemical sewage. It's hard to say whether they have mutated, but they are indeed incredibly strong.

He pounced on Jie Shuyi's face.

As if he had used countless human bodies, he quickly found the softest and best-tasting eyes, and then took a bite.

As if unaware of the struggle of the owner of this body, the mouse's movements became more and more outrageous, and half of its body was deeply engulfed in Shu Yi's eyes.

Xie Shuyi didn't feel any severe pain. His body, which was originally wet by the lake water, had been frozen numb in the dark sewer.

His only remaining eye couldn't see clearly due to presbyopia, and he could only see most of the fat body hanging upside down on his face.

Xie Shuyi opened his mouth and bit the big rat's tail.

As he chewed without restraint, the mouse made a shrill squeaking sound and its claws kept scratching Jie Shuyi's cheeks.

The mouse was extremely strong. After struggling for several times, its cheek was already exposed to the bone and blood was dripping. The scene was extremely terrifying.

Xie Shuyi seemed not to feel anything at all. He chewed the rat's tail bit by bit, then the lower half of its body, and then slowly ate the whole huge rat raw.

He even ate the internal organs, savoring the deliciousness of the food.

After eating his fill, Xie Shuyi felt a little warmer. He stood up shakily and walked towards the depths of the sewer.

He looked up from time to time, and in less than half a quarter of an hour he found the manhole cover leading to the ground.

Fortunately, when he lifted the manhole cover and stuck his head out, he was not crushed to death by a speeding car.

But unfortunately, the manhole cover he chose was near the downtown area. Although Xie Shuyi's face had been scratched beyond recognition, it was difficult for ordinary people to tell whether he was a wanted criminal.

But just from his figure, people can tell that he is a man in his fifties.

But the old man was wearing blood-soaked clothes at this moment, his face was covered in blood and flesh, and every step he took left a blood-red footprint on the ground.

When Xie Shuyi wanted to leave the riot, he had actually been surrounded by the crowd.

Some kind-hearted people wanted to call an ambulance, while others kept taking pictures with their mobile phones.

The flash was so dazzling that Xie Shuyi felt the good and evil of human nature.

Some people want to save him, but some people are eager to keep his current ugliness and post it online to gain traffic.

One eye can no longer see clearly, but fortunately he still has one eye that can see the ugliness of this world.

In the sunlight, Xie Shuyi could take a quick glance at his current situation. The two knife wounds on his chest were still bleeding. Even in this situation, he couldn't help but sigh at Suehiro Tiechang's strength.

It was so fast, accurate and ruthless...it hurt so much.

He pushed through the crowd watching the show and took difficult steps, trying to leave.

But his walking speed was too slow. Wherever he went, a large crowd of people followed him.

He vaguely saw the police on duty rushing towards him.

If this continues, Xie Shuyi, who had just escaped from the tiger's den, would be led into the wolf's den again.

With no other choice, he could only go back to the manhole cover again. Under the gaze of everyone, Xie Shuyi returned to the sewer.

Listening to the kind-hearted people's dissuasion, he just calmly closed the manhole cover.

As the light around him was completely submerged by darkness, Xie Shuyi did not dare to stop for a moment and walked towards the other direction of the sewer.

The military and police will get the news soon and thoroughly check the sewers on this entire street. We have to run farther away before they arrive.

With every step Xie Shuyi took, his steps became heavier, and his breathing went from rapid at the beginning to almost inaudible later. Gradually, he was left with no strength left and fell at a corner.

His body was constantly spasming due to the pain. After Jie Shuyi's state of mind recovered, his healing ability was restored and healed his injured body.

This is also the reason why his hands were able to recover as before.

But that was only temporary. After he exhausted all his supernatural powers and escaped from the underground undercurrent, his supernatural powers did not automatically repair themselves like the usual endless spring water.

On the contrary, it is constantly being sucked away by another force.

The real owner of "Zhan Yikong" is constantly overdrawing Jie Shuyi's vitality.

Exhausted...?

It's ridiculous. He thought he could die at the hands of his own superpowers. Life is really unpredictable.

Xie Shuyi was in so much pain that he had no strength left. He didn't want to struggle anymore. The physical and mental exhaustion made him want to just fall asleep...

Maybe the pain will go away when you fall asleep.

'Give up?'

A voice seemed to sound from the depths of his soul. Jie Shuyi suddenly opened his eyes, and a different kind of light flowed deep in his eyes.

For some reason, Lao Hua's eyes suddenly became clear, and within the visible range, he could clearly see a man sitting opposite him.

Dazai noticed his gaze and just smiled and waved his hand. Xie Shuyi's eyes turned red almost instantly.

He struggled to get up, wanted to go to the opposite side, wanted to sit next to Mr. Dazai, wanted to hug Mr. Dazai and cry.

But the one and a half meter distance to the other side seemed as far away as the Milky Way to him, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

His old legs were shaking constantly, and his head, which had just been raised, drooped down with difficulty. He fell into the mud, and one could almost hear the sound of breaking bones.

It hurts, it really hurts...

It obviously wasn't that painful before, but after Mr. Dazai showed up, for some reason my whole body seemed to hurt.

My eyes became heavier and heavier, and the pain made it almost impossible to breathe.

It was not until he was embraced in that warm embrace that Jie Shuyi raised his hands and hugged Dazai as if he were in another world.

"It hurts, it hurts so much..."

Like a child complaining about his grievances, his tears could not stop falling. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he hugged Dazai tightly, as if he wanted to squeeze himself into Mr. Dazai's bones.

"Xiao Yi-chan, you can't give up like this. I'm still waiting for you to come to the prison to save me. The other people in the detective agency are also waiting for you to join them. Without you, they can't win."

Xie Shuyi shook his head quickly, "I won't give up. I won't give up. I will definitely save you, and I will definitely protect everyone in the detective agency."

He heard the chuckle beside his ear, and then he felt the warmth in his body getting stronger.

'The King of Hell would not dare to take you in.'

"Xiao Yi-chan, sleeping in will make you stupid, it's time to wake up."

The warmth in his arms suddenly disappeared, and Jie Shuyi opened his eyes abruptly, with greed still deep in his eyes.

It was unknown when his superpowers had been restored, and his self-healing ability was at its peak. Even if only half of his head was left, he could instantly recover within two seconds.

He raised his hand and touched his cheek. The cool touch was not an illusion.

Did you really cry?

It's not a show, nor is it an emotional release. It's just that I haven't seen Mr. Dazai for a long time.

Even dreaming about it would make him want to cry.

Jie Shuyi gently wiped away the tears from her cheeks.

He couldn't help but think that if Mr. Dazai was here, he wouldn't have to suffer all this pain.

It's terrible.

He stood up, this time his body was no longer as heavy as a mountain. Taking advantage of the darkness, Xie Shuyi effortlessly opened the manhole cover and came to the city.

Although Yi Neng has restored his body to its original state, the blood-stained clothes on his body are still there. This outfit was already eye-catching, and when people noticed Jie Shuyi's appearance, many more flashes of light came into their heads.

It's not that I'm admiring his outstanding and beautiful face, but this is clearly the face of a wanted criminal.

"Kill...the murderer!"
