Chapter 386 - White Tower
“What is that?” Li Huowang frowned. He gnashed his teeth to suppress the pain, and then he drew his sword with his right hand before slashing at his wrist. Sinister bone spikes emerged from his severed wrist, and they flew toward the so-called Dragon King.
Soon, several black tentacles wriggled out of the stump of Li Huowang\'s wrist, transforming into a hand. Li Huowang\'s left hand swept across the entity covered in black hair, and the nearby seawater was dyed in black blood.
The entity couldn\'t coalesce and was forced to disperse. Dark green eyes that resembled human faces appeared on the black hair. The eyes were filled with hostility and killing intent.
Those faces aren\'t human faces; they’re monkey faces! The Dragon King doesn\'t exist. It\'s just a bunch of water monkeys! Li Huowang deduced upon observing the faces. At least they understand human speech, even though they\'re just water monkeys.
Li Huowang drew the purple-tassel sword, and killing intent burst out of him as he opened his mouth and roared, “Get lost!”
The churning seawater from Li Huowang\'s mouth attracted the attention of the water monkeys, and they stared at Li Huowang for a while. Eventually, the entity covered in black hair swayed with the waves and disappeared as if it were terrified of Li Huowang.
The crisis had been averted, so Li Huowang got ready to return to the surface. However, he realized that the bearded bald man was missing. Where is he? I couldn\'t really see him earlier.
Li Huowang rushed to the surface to take a few deep breaths. Afterward, he dived down to look for the missing bearded bald man. Eventually, Li Huowang found the bearded bald man on the seabed.
Half of the bearded bald man\'s face was missing, and the water monkeys had gouged out his left eye. The fierce waves had peeled the bearded bald man\'s skin, and he looked even paler than Bai Lingmiao.
Li Huowang stared at the bearded bald man\'s corpse, unsure of what to say.
“Amitabha, Amitabha, you\'re a baldy who\'s done good deeds. You\'re an extraordinary monk,” the monk said, and then he chanted prayers for the bearded bald man.
Li Huowang sighed and grabbed the bearded bald man\'s corpse before swimming toward the surface. I should have tested his skills before letting him go underwater.
Just as Li Huowang was regretting his decision, the monk abruptly exclaimed, “Daoist, watch out! Something\'s behind you!”
The monk\'s words had yet to finish echoing in the air when Li Huowang turned abruptly and saw a grotesque colossal maw covered in long, follicle-like tentacles.
Hmm? Li Huowang stared at the dusty ceiling fan above him.
A white wildflower filled his vision.
“Brother, you’re awake? Look, isn’t this flower beautiful? I picked it from outside.”
Li Huowang followed the chubby hand holding the white wildflower and found a middle-aged man with a naive, chubby face. The middle-aged man looked to be at least forty or fifty years old, but he behaved like a child; his eyes also radiated an exceptionally innocent light.
Li Huowang’s muscles tensed up. No! I was about to get consumed by that thing in the water! How come I’m here?
Li Huowang struggled to sit up but found his limbs bound.
“Brother, we\'re in the White Tower Hospital. However, some call it the White Tower Prison. I was brought here by the guards while I was rummaging through garbage on the street.
“The guard said I wasn’t stupid enough, so he let me feed you and gave me more candy in exchange.”
Li Huowang’s mind quickly spun as he looked around the unfamiliar surroundings.
It doesn\'t matter why Black Taisui’s ability had failed; the fact that I\'m in the hallucination means that I\'m still alive. There’s still hope! No, I\'m in that thing\'s stomach! I have to get out of here as soon as possible!
After figuring everything out, Li Huowang turned to the middle-aged man next to him and asked, “Can you help me out? Untie these restraints for me.”
The middle-aged man shook his head vigorously and made a noise reminiscent of a drum using his lips and said, “No, no, no. The guard said I can’t untie you. If I untie you, I’ll be sent to the small dark room.”
Li Huowang was in the middle of a critical juncture on the other side, so he had no time to waste here. There was a high chance that he was about to be devoured. With that in mind, Li Huowang took a deep breath, turned sharply to the left, and flipped the entire metal bed, causing a loud crashing noise.
The middle-aged man was terrified, and he rushed toward the iron door, pounding on it as he turned to the camera overhead and cried out, “Guard, come here! Hurry up, and come here! I’m really scared!”
Li Huowang twisted and lifted the iron bed up high before throwing it to the ground. Li Huowang exerted so much force that he inadvertently fractured the bones in his left palm, causing him to wince and gnash his teeth
Regardless, he pulled strongly, and his floppy, broken left arm slipped off the restraints as if it were made of noodles.
Li Huowang used the pinky finger of his left hand to desperately remove the restraints on his right arm, and he ended up succeeding. Unfortunately, Li Huowang could already hear approaching footsteps in the distance.
Li Huowang moved even faster, freeing himself just in time.
A prison guard rushed toward Li Huowang.
Li Huowang swung his right knee toward the prison guard, breaking the latter\'s ribs.
Li Huowang managed to subdue one of the prison guards, but the remaining guard swung his stun baton toward him.
The electricity that coursed through Li Huowang froze him briefly, but he gnashed his teeth and yanked the two batons away. Then, he glared at the prison guard.
The guard trembled all over, frightened by Li Huowang’s appearance. Although he still had other weapons, it seemed like the odds weren\'t in his favor. The prison guard suddenly recalled why this guy was admitted here.
“Li Huowang? That\'s your name, right? You can hear me, right?
"Calm down, calm down. Your girlfriend has just visited you not too long ago. I’ll call her over to meet you. What do you think?”
Li Huowang grabbed the magnetic stripe card and the stun baton from the fallen prison guard on the floor before rushing toward the door. I don’t care what you are. You better not think that I\'m going to patiently wait for my demise in your stomach!
Li Huowang opened every single iron gate in his way and attacked the guards who dared to obstruct him. Soon, an alarm blared throughout the White Tower Prison’s mental health ward. A few specialized teams soon rushed into the ward.
Li Huowang assessed the situation rationally, and he decided not to escape through the exit. Li Huowang looked left and right before charging into the prison guard’s office.
Before the prison guards could even react, Li Huowang jumped down the fourth floor.
“Cough, cough!” Li Huowang spat out blood and forced himself to stand up.
Li Huowang ignored the mentally unstable patients nearby and smiled smugly at the enormous gray prison building behind him. I don’t care what you are, but do you really think that you can gobble me up so easily? Fat chance!
