The sound of the phone ringing echoed in the basement, sharp and jarring. I looked at the man's belly in front of me, chills running down my spine, because the ringing was coming from inside him.
"Ugh..." the Yellow-Haired Leopard's younger brother let out a terrified sound, shocked by the scene before him, completely unaware that a phone had been stuffed inside his belly.
Lin Hanyu heard the incessant ringing and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Jiang Ling, what do you plan to do now?"
I took a deep breath to calm myself and said, "Let's put him down and get him to the hospital for emergency treatment. He’s just lost a lot of blood; there are no fatal injuries on him. He should still have a chance to survive!"
Ignoring the ringing phone, I walked over to continue untying the ropes around the man, while Lin Hanyu stood by, helping to support his body.
After a minute or two, the wretched phone finally stopped ringing. I sighed in relief, my pace in untying the ropes quickening significantly.
"Not good, Jiang Ling! Get away from there; something's trying to come out of his belly!" Lin Hanyu pulled me back. I looked up and saw something writhing beneath the man's skin, pushing outward and distorting his belly as if it were trying to break free.
"Ugh!" The Yellow-Haired Leopard's younger brother let out a desperate scream. He could feel the pain inside him clearly, as if scissors were stirring around in his belly, shredding his insides. Blood erupted from his mouth, mixed with fragments of his internal organs.
After about ten seconds, he trembled violently, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
With a ripping sound, a long gash opened up on the man's belly, and a strange rat emerged from within him, landing on the ground. The rat was peculiar because it came out clean from inside the man’s body without a trace of blood on its fur.
"Stinking rat, die!" Lin Hanyu charged forward and stomped on the rat with all his might, showing no mercy.
With a splatter, a mass of bloody entrails spilled out from the Yellow-Haired Leopard's younger brother's belly, turning the scene gruesome. The ground was littered with severed intestines, chewed-up organs, and a black phone—all mixed together in a horrifying mess that was utterly disgusting.
My face turned pale as I walked over and checked the man's breath with my fingers, only to find that he had already stopped breathing and had become a corpse.
"Dinglingling~~ Dinglingling~~" The phone on the ground rang again, its sound still piercing. I glanced at the phone, my heart filled with murderous intent. I picked it up and answered using the speakerphone.
"Haha, Jiang Ling, you finally decided to pick up the phone!" The lewd laughter of Wang Xinyu came from the other end. It seemed my previous suspicions were correct; Wang Xinyu had anticipated my arrival and had prepared this scene for me.
I quickly scanned my surroundings and noticed there were no other people here, nor did I see any surveillance cameras in the basement. Frowning, I asked coldly, "Wang Xinyu, how did you know what was happening here?"
Wang Xinyu's laughter echoed back, filled with arrogance. "Haha, it's simple! I'm quite cautious, so I've installed many miniature cameras in my house. In fact, your every move has been under my surveillance. The funny thing is, you never even realized it!"
My expression darkened as I asked, "So you knew from the very beginning that I would come?"
Wang Xinyu scoffed derisively. "Heh, do you really think that the group of Trash Fish you sent to track us could escape my notice? They've already been captured. Finding out your whereabouts is a piece of cake for us!"
"Jiang Ling, enough chit-chat. If you want to save the others, you need to be at the wasteland outside the city in two hours—the same place where that three-headed ghost was killed. You should know where it is!"
"Our feud needs to be settled! If you're too scared to come, I'll start chopping off their heads one by one and turn them into Evil Spirits to seek revenge on you! Hahaha!" Wang Xinyu's lewd laughter rang out again. I reached out and hung up the phone, feeling my murderous intent intensify.
Lin Hanyu walked over and patted my shoulder, rationally analyzing the situation. "Jiang Ling, Wang Xinyu has clearly set a trap for you; he's just waiting for you to walk right into it. I advise you not to go there!"
I shook my head and replied, "Yellow-Haired Leopard was captured because he was working for me; how could I not go save him? I may not have read much, but I still believe in basic loyalty!"
With that, I quickly headed toward the exit of the basement. Wang Xinyu's location was a bit far from here; even if I rushed over now, it would take at least two hours. I couldn't afford to delay; the faster I got there, the better. Otherwise, that scum Wang Xinyu might really kill Yellow-Haired Leopard and the others.
"Ah! Who told me to take Jiang Ling's money and promised to help him deal with that Western Wizard! I, Lin Hanyu, am a person of principles; I can't let others look down on me!" Lin Hanyu shook his head as he watched my retreating figure, muttering to himself before quickly catching up and standing beside me.
"Lin Hanyu, thank you!" I looked into Lin Hanyu's eyes and said sincerely. If Lin Hanyu hadn't followed me, I could have understood; after all, we were heading into a dangerous situation, and we had only known each other for a short time. His willingness to come along truly touched me.
Outside the city, in a desolate area, Wang Xinyu was watching the surveillance footage on his tablet. Only after he saw Lin Hanyu and me leave his house did he put down the computer, a scheming smile spreading across his face.
"Haha! Jiang Ling, I'm just waiting for you to come to your doom!" Wang Xinyu laughed loudly, a sinister killing intent flickering in his eyes. The reason he had lured me here was so he could witness my downfall firsthand, satisfying his twisted psyche.
Wang Xinyu turned to glance at the dilapidated building behind him. The thought of He Naixing's activities inside made him tremble all over, fear filling his eyes. He swallowed hard and muttered to himself, "It's better to avoid contact with a Western Wizard like He Naixing in the future!"
