Chapter 319: Leisurely Play in the Hospital, Transaction in Prison
In the activity room, Li Yifei was rubbing his hands in anticipation, staring at the cards in his hand with excitement.
"Hey, Brakiel, look at me doing this 'destroying the bridge after crossing it' move!"
He proudly showed his cards and tried to dismantle Brakiel's "equipment".
Brakier remained calm and pointed to the small print on the card. "Li Yifei, take a good look. This is my turn. Isn't it a bit against the rules to use 'Demolish the Bridge After Crossing the River'?"
Li Yifei took a closer look and was stunned. He scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, I was having too much fun and made a mistake. It's mine, mine."
"Humph, weakling!"
Brakier mocked without hesitation, then continued to immerse himself in his own round, thinking about how to kill Li Yifei.
Li Yifei was unwilling to be outdone, so he turned to Mei Meilin who was standing beside him.
With a face full of loyalty and determination, he said, "Boss Memelin, don't worry. I will kill this traitor Brakiel today and serve you!"
Meimeilin slowly raised her eyelids and glanced at him.
He said calmly: "Li Yifei, did you make a mistake?"
"I am the traitor, Brakiel is the traitor, and you are the loyal minister."
Li Yifei was stunned as if he was struck by lightning. The cards in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp "pop" sound.
He stared at Memelin and then at Braqier with his eyes wide open. His mind was blank and he had no idea about the complicated relationship.
At this moment, the door of the activity room was pushed open, and Lin Qiye and Wu Hen appeared at the door.
Lin Qiye looked at this group of "fellow patients" who were having a lot of fun, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head.
Wu Hen, on the other hand, had an expression of watching a good show, and was amazed:
"Wow, there are quite a lot of tricks here. Are you even playing Three Kingdoms? Hey everyone, you guys are really into it."
Everyone in the activity room looked up when they heard the sound, with a hint of confusion in their eyes, as if asking, who are these two guys?
How come I've never seen it before?
Wu Hen observed their expressions with interest, his eyes flashing with meaning.
"You two, do you want to play a game?" Li Yifei suddenly spoke, staring at Wu Hen with a hint of provocation in his tone.
Wu Hen smiled and turned his gaze to Lin Qiye, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Qiye, look, someone wants to play with us."
Lin Qiye shrugged, a helpless smile curling up at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that our 'fellow patients' are having a great time. I can't bear to disturb them."
He turned to Li Yifei, his tone perfunctory, "You guys have fun, we have business to attend to."
Wu Hen had a wicked smile on his face and winked at Li Yifei.
He said in an exaggerated tone: "Little brother, your forehead looks black, I'm afraid you're going to be taken away by the 'rebels'! Otherwise, I can give you some advice."
Li Yifei was choked by Wu Hen's slightly teasing words, and his face instantly turned the color of liver.
He was about to retort when he saw Lin Qiye turning around and walking towards the door.
Wu Hen also shrugged, made a gesture of "contact later", and followed Lin Qiye out of the activity room.
After the two left, the activity room once again fell into a fierce "fight".
Memelin slowly played an "Invulnerable" card to block Brakiel's attack, with a smile of command on his face.
"Hmph, you little brat, you want to fight me?"
"Come again!"
Li Yifei seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment just now and immersed himself in the game again.
At the same time, the underground cells of the hospital were dark, damp, and smelled of mold.
A ball of golden light flickered faintly in the corner of the cell. It was Bell Crandall, a golden bug the size of a fingernail.
Its transparent wings trembled slightly and its antennae swayed back and forth vigilantly, making it particularly eye-catching in the darkness.
Bell could feel two strange auras approaching.
It moved its body restlessly, like a frightened bird, as if facing a great enemy.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Heavy footsteps came from the entrance of the dungeon, and each one seemed to strike Bell's heart.
It knew that its "negotiator" was coming.
Bell's body was tense, as if ready for action.
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen walked calmly along the dark corridor and came to the underground cell.
The heavy iron door slowly opened with a creak, and a musty smell hit me in the face, making me frown.
The floor under Wu Hen's feet was wet, and every step made a slight splash, as if announcing their arrival to the surrounding darkness.
In the cell, a ball of golden light flickered faintly in the corner. It was Bell Crandall.
Its transparent wings trembled slightly in the darkness, and its antennae moved back and forth vigilantly, like a disturbed bird.
Bell could feel two strange auras approaching, and his heart was filled with uneasiness.
Its body was tense, as if ready for action at any moment.
Lin Qiye spoke first, his voice clear in the dark cell: "Bell Crandall, we're here."
"I hope you're ready, we have something important to discuss."
Bell Crandall's wings fluttered even more violently, but he made no sound.
Wu Hen blinked and said with a puzzled look: "Qi Ye, this little bug can't speak? This is a bit tricky."
Lin Qiye smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes:
"It seems that we need to find some 'tools' to help. Wu Hen, do you have any good ideas?"
Wu Hen immediately revealed a wicked smile, his eyes gleaming with mischief: "This is not difficult, I have a trick. Wait for me."
After saying that, he turned and left the cell. After a while, he returned to the cell carrying a half-dead pug.
Pugba's hair was disheveled and his eyes were blurry, looking like he had just been through a fierce battle.
It cried twice plaintively, as if protesting its fate.
Wu Hen threw it into the cell where Bell Crandall was without any care, his movements as casual as if he was throwing a ball.
"Bell Crandall, speak with this pug's vocal cords."
"Otherwise, I don't know if you will be ignored by us."
There was a hint of teasing in Wu Hen's words, as if he was teasing a naughty child.
Bell Crandall was clearly reluctant, but eventually gave in.
It carefully controlled Hagouba's vocal cords, its voice low and hoarse: "Who... are you? What do you want?"
Wu Hen and Lin Qiye smiled at each other, seeming to be very satisfied with the result.
Lin Qiye said seriously: "We are here to discuss a deal. You have the intelligence, and we have the resources."
"As long as you can show value for our lives, we will consider giving you a chance to live."
Bell Crandall spoke through Hagouba's vocal cords, his tone hesitant: "What information do you... want?"
Wu Hen approached the iron bars of the cell, his eyes glittering with cunning, "How much do you know about the secrets in the fog?"
Bell Crandall's wings fluttered even more violently, evidently unnerved by the question.
Hagouba's voice sounded again, with a hint of temptation: "I can... give you the information you want, but you must promise..."
Wu Hen laughed heartily and patted Lin Qiye on the shoulder: "That's right, people should be sincere."
"Let's go, we'll wait for your good news."
With that, the two men turned and left, leaving Bell Crandall pacing back and forth in the cell, thinking about his next move.
"Intelligence in the fog?"
Wu Hen raised his eyebrows, his tone was a little playful.
"Well, this sounds interesting, but it's just information. Isn't it a bit insincere?"
"After all, we risked being attacked by fellow patients to come to you."
Hagouba rolled his eyes, clearly being controlled by Bell Crandall, and his voice was filled with helplessness: "So... what else do you want?"
"Hmm... let me think about it."
Wu Hen touched his chin, his eyes rolling around, as if he was thinking of some bad idea.
"How about this: you not only provide us with information, but also work for us?"
"Of course, you must agree to all requests unconditionally. After all, you are a prisoner now."
Bell Crandall obviously didn't expect the other party to make such a harsh request.
Hagouba's voice also became a little sharp: "This...this is too much! I would rather not say anything!"
Lin Qiye shrugged, seemingly unsurprised, and turned to walk towards the cell door.
His tone was flat: "It seems that there is nothing more to talk about between us. Wu Hen, let's go."
Wu Hen also turned around, shaking his head as he walked away, with a hint of regret in his tone: "Oh, what a pity! I was hoping to let you experience the '996 blessing', but it seems you are destined to live out your life alone."
"and many more!"
Hagouba's voice sounded again, with a hint of urgency.
"I can...think about it!"
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen stopped and smiled.
Wu Hen turned around, a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Oh? Consider it? It seems you are quite sensible."
Hagouba's voice became hesitant. "I can provide information, and I can also... do something for you, but you must ensure my safety."
"Safe? Well..."
Wu Hen touched his chin and deliberately lengthened his voice.
“That depends on your performance.”
"But we always like to 'pay first and enjoy later', so you'd better come up with something that satisfies us."
Bell Crandall seemed to have fallen into silence. After a moment, Hagoba's voice came again.
With a hint of compromise: "I... I can give you some clues about the fog first, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
Wu Hen and Lin Qiye looked at each other, with a playful smile on their lips.
Wu Hen stretched out a finger and shook it gently.
His tone was full of teasing: "Little bug, it seems that you still don't understand the situation. Now we have the initiative."
He paused.
After saying this, Wu Hen's eyes became deep, as if he was waiting for Bell Crandall's next move.
Lin Qiye slowly raised his hand, as if he wanted to say something, but paused in mid-air.
The atmosphere in the cell suddenly became tense.
