Just as Sun Dawei was speaking, a muffled sound suddenly came from afar, but the location of the sound was not in the direction where Yang Xiao had left. As everyones nerves began to tense up, the money mouse in Sun Daweis pocket suddenly started to move around. The big fat mouse scurried out of his pocket and jumped onto Sun Daweis shoulder, standing at a high point, its two shiny black eyes staring at the location where the sound came from. It squeaked while running back and forth on Sun Daweis shoulders.
Before Sun Baozi could react, the Wealth Mouse couldnt wait any longer. After chirping a few times, it suddenly jumped down from Sun Baozis shoulder and rolled around on the ground several times before getting up and running in a straight line towards the direction of the previous sound.
Sun Baozi had reacted at this time, he first hugged the black cat in his arms, then followed closely behind Cai Shu, while also shouting to Xiao and Shang: "You follow Yin Bai! Ill go take a look at our familys mouse"
Sun Baozi hadnt finished speaking when Xiao He Shang was already following behind him. The old man ran while looking back at Xi Men Chai and the others, saying: "You all follow Yin Bai first, Ill go take a look. With Yin Bai there, nothing will happen." Although Xiao He Shang is over seventy years old, he didnt let Sun Baozi fall behind. This pair of young and old treasure enthusiasts followed behind the money mouse, running along the way.
Looking at the back of these two people, Xiong Wanyi glanced lazily at Yin Bai and said to Xi Menglian: "I say, Master, what should we do now? Follow Yin Bai to find Yang Xiao?"
Ximen Chains officer also frowned, looking at the back of Xiang Sun and Xiao Er, after hearing Xiong Wanyis words, he turned his head to look at him and said: "Lets see what Yin Bai means, no matter where it goes, well follow behind"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Bais ears, which had been hanging down, suddenly perked up. Its triangular eyes stood upright, and it turned around to face the opposite direction of Sun and Xiaos departure, letting out a long howl before running in that direction. Ximen Chain and several others closely followed behind Yin Bai, their distance from Sun Baozi growing farther and farther apart.
Lets talk about Ximen and the others later, first lets talk about Sun Bi Zi and Xiao He Shang. The two of them closely followed behind Cai Shu, who intentionally allowed Sun Bi Zi and Xiao He Shang to follow behind him, otherwise they wouldnt have been able to squeeze through the small hole that only a mouse could fit through. Even so, when they encountered iron doors with locks in each area, they still had to stand in place and wait for Sun Bi Zi to find the wire to unlock it before Cai Shu continued to run forward.
Before long, Sun Baozi and Xiao Heshang followed behind the money mouse, running into the inner courtyard of the prison, where prisoners were allowed to take a walk during the day. The place was now pitch black, making it even more eerie. After entering the inner courtyard, the money mouse slowed down its pace. Its nose stuck to the ground, sniffing non-stop. This process lasted for about a minute before the money mouses two hind legs exerted force, and its body stood up straight, its small head swaying back and forth, still sniffing non-stop.
At this time, the financial mouse looked a bit confused, sniffed for a while, and then turned its head in the direction of Sun Baozi, chirping continuously towards him.
"What do you mean? Is there something that can be smelled but not seen?" Sun Wukong said this as his eyes began to glance towards Xiao Heishan.
Master Xiao understood Sun Baozis meaning, he took out a stack of talismans from his bosom, then bit his index finger. After tracing the talisman on top with his fingertips fresh blood, the talisman self-ignited in the wind. Master Xiao flicked the burning talisman with his hand, and this half-burnt talisman seemed to be attracted by something, flying out diagonally.
Just after Xiao Hei made his move, the flames on this talisman that had almost been extinguished suddenly burst into a loud "Boom!" and in the instant that the talisman exploded, the weak flame that had been dwindling suddenly surged up and transformed into a huge fireball, illuminating the entire inner courtyard.
It was at this time that the scene inside the courtyard suddenly changed. A large pit appeared out of thin air in the center of the courtyard, and a figure stood at the edge of the pit, carrying a large iron hammer. In the light of the fireball, Sun Baozi and Xiao Heshang saw clearly that the person carrying the iron hammer was none other than Liu Cheng, the old man whose head had been chopped off not long ago.
At this time, the old man was no longer in his previous trembling state, as if he had been reborn after death and Parkinsons disease had also been completely cured. Now the old man stood straight and motionless, staring at Sun Baozi and Xiao Heshang, with a cold laugh occasionally coming out of his mouth.
After seeing the old man, Xiao Hes expression on his face instantly solidified, and instead, Sun Baozis smile became even more radiant. Sun Vice stared at Old Man Liu Cheng with a playful smile and said: "Old Liu, you scared me just now. I was staring at your head falling off, and I thought to myself if I should take revenge for you or something. But now that I think about it, you cut off your own head yourself, and the twisted figure behind you is you, right? Not that Im saying youre twisted, but cutting off your own head is pretty twisted too."
Here is the translation:
"Speaking of which, Sun Aozi smiled again and paused for a moment before continuing: "Also, there have been several dismemberment cases outside recently, are they also your doing? Im guessing, am I right or not. Thirty years ago you committed a crime that was handled by the special task force, and thats why you were locked up here, right? The special task force left a mark on you, something like an imprint, and as long as its on you, you cant escape the range of this prison. Back then, you didnt believe in evil spirits, so you risked everything to run outside the prison, and thats why youve been lying here for thirty years?"
Later, after you woke up, you pretended to have amnesia and deceived Chang Jie who was watching you. Taking advantage of his carelessness, you killed him. You turned Old Chang into a puppet and threw it into the sealed underground place, also destroying the seal in the process. This might not be your intention, but you just wanted to escape and went crazy. However, later on, you should have found a way to temporarily block the seal, until we arrived, then reopened it again.
As for those who were torn apart outside, they should have been released from prison not long ago. You found them and asked for their help to find someone, just like you told me. Only that person can help you get out of here. Unfortunately, perhaps because the conditions you offered were not enough, none of those guys took your words seriously. They didnt go to find the person you wanted even after the agreed-upon date, and as a result, they ended up harming themselves.
You must have cast some sort of spell on them, no matter whether you can find the person youre looking for or not. As soon as time is up, they all turn into that De Xing. The rest is up to us, we found out something was off when several of us came in. Its because in this small Beibei prison, only you have the highest degree of freedom among prisoners. Im guessing correctly, on our first day here, when we spoke with the warden, you were eavesdropping outside the wardens office, right? Then you opened the seal of the Night Walker Ghosts below, and at night, you led them all the way to our cellblock. I said so, why did the Night Walker Ghosts not make trouble early or late, but only started making trouble on the first day we arrived, and only targeted our cellblock?
Finally, lets talk about your own business. It wasnt me who said it, but at first, I was really confused too. Originally, I had almost locked onto you, old Liu, but then I watched as your head fell off right in front of me. At first, I thought I must have been mistaken, or maybe my IQ wasnt high enough? Later, another guy came over and said that the beheaded puppet was just an illusion created by your obstacle-creating technique.
But why do this now? I just figured it out. The person youre looking for has already arrived, and by pretending to be dead, youre not only confusing our line of sight but also ensuring that after you escape, no one will bother to look for a headless corpse. Who would take the trouble to find someone whos already lost their head? Alright, Old Liu, Ive said my piece, now its your turn to fill in the gaps."
As soon as Sun Baozi finished speaking with a smile, Liu Chengs face revealed an incredulous expression. After taking a deep breath, he stared at Sun Baozi and slowly asked: "How did you know?"
Sun Baozi burst out laughing and replied: "I said I saw it with my own eyes, do you believe me?"
