Chapter 21 - Chapter 21 - Rescuing People

'Tick-tock-tick-tock...'

  Bai Yanliang, who was leading Jiang Li down the stairs, suddenly raised his head and listened with his ears.

  When Jiang Li saw him suddenly stop, he stopped as well and asked suspiciously, 'What's wrong?'

  Bai Yanliang frowned slightly and gazed at the floor above, although he couldn't see anything, he could vaguely sense that something was happening there ...

  'Miss Jiang, did you hear the sound of ... dripping water?'

  Bai Yanliang's words caused Jiang Li to be stunned, and then she also gazed carefully, and under Bai Yanliang's words, she also seemed to hear a subtle ticking sound, only ... it was very subtle, and if it wasn' t for the fact that this hotel was too quiet, this bit of movement would almost not be able to be heard.

  'Something's not right ...'

  Bai Yanliang whispered, then he looked at Jiang Li and said, 'You go first, Miss Jiang, I want to go back to the sixth floor to take a look.'

  Jiang Li's face changed, she did not expect Bai Yanliang to make such a move, but ... let her go down the dark stairs to the ground floor alone, she really did not dare!

  Secondly,... although it was not said, but Bai Yanliang's side, it is indeed very secure.

  This man, it seems that he is not afraid of anything?

  Therefore, without much thought, Jiang Li immediately made a decision, 'I'll go with you!'

  Seeing this, Bai Yanliang didn't persuade her of anything, only nodding slightly.

  'Let's go then.'

  The two of them turned around, turned around and started back to the sixth floor again.

  ...

  Despair filled every corner of Xu Zhinan's body.

  Under his gaze, the 'man' with the bloodied face slowly turned back.

  At the same time, the water in his sink had long overflowed. ...

  The overflowing water was spreading towards Xu Zhi'an's side, and he continued to retreat backward in fear, having already retreated to the corridor.

  Xu Zhi'an's eyes went wide, and he vaguely saw that there seemed to be a woman's silhouette in the water ...

  Who was ... that?

  'Who ... are you?' Although Xu Zhi'an's heart defences were already almost on the verge of collapsing at this moment, he still subconsciously asked this sentence.

  Unsurprisingly, neither 'he' nor 'she' gave him an answer.

  Then, in Xu Zhi'an's terrified gaze, the human figure in the water came out!

  She first stretched out a white arm, followed by a head covered in long hair, her body twisted so badly that her entire body was lying on the ground, limp as if it had no bones.

  Xu Zhi An wanted to get up, wanted to escape.

  But, too late ...

  The 'man' whose face was completely changed had already blocked behind him at some point.

  And in front of him, there is this 'woman' lying in the water.

  Desperate situation!

  'Finished ... this time I'm dead ...'

  Xu Zhi'an was trembling, his brain was chaotic.

  Although his eyes were wide open, he could not see the face of the woman in front of him at all.

  It just felt like in a trance, the twisted woman in front of him, who looked like she had no bones, had stretched out her hand and strangled Xu Zhi'an's neck ...

  A strong sense of suffocation came, Xu Zhi An frantically stomped his legs, pulling 'her' fingers.

  However, this is all in vain, Xu Zhi An only feel, ice ...

  Good ice hand ...

  And wet, just like soaking in water ... 'The ... damned ...' Xu Zhi An's face turned from red to white, and now a greenish colour had appeared.

  A single vein was exposed on his neck, and tears and saliva had begun to flow out completely uncontrollably.

  Xu Zhi'an was able to clearly feel that his life was rapidly passing away ...

  ...

  The sound of water dripping became clearer and clearer.

  Bai Yanliang quickened his pace, and the fact that it wasn't that far from the fourth floor to the sixth floor meant that he didn't spend too much time.

  Jiang Li followed him closely, and at the same time, Jiang Li s heart was ready.

  ... Prepare to see a ghost.

  Bai Yanliang must have discovered something, and only then did he return to the sixth floor in such a hurry.

  Soon, both of them returned to the sixth floor.

  However,... the scene in front of them stunned Jiang Li who had made sufficient mental preparations.

  She had thought of many scenarios, only she hadn't thought it would be like this?

  Xu Zhi'an, that clerk around thirty years old, was currently lying dead in front of the toilet door, strangling his neck!

  His eyes had already rolled white, but he was still desperately exerting himself!

  His hands had all rippled with veins, he was going to strangle himself alive!

  'Come help!'

  Bai Yanliang's cry interrupted Jiang Li's messy thoughts and the fear that was beginning to spread, and she subconsciously obeyed Bai Yanliang's command.

  Bai Yanliang broke Xu Zhi'an's fingers with all his might, and at the same time, his mouth kept calling out to him.

  'Mr Xu? What's wrong with you Mr Xu?'

  Jiang Li also rushed over at Bai Yanliang's call, and the two of them wrenched Xu Zhi'an's fingers hard on the left and right, however, it was surprisingly useless!

  God knows why Xu Zhi An's strength was so great! Bai Yanliang could be sure that his strength was definitely not weak, in the Ye City mental hospital, he never stopped exercising his body, although not as good as an athlete after a long period of exercise, Bai Yanliang's strength and speed had already exceeded that of ordinary people by a large margin.

  But ... such strength was surprisingly still unable to break Xu Zhi An s hand!

  Bai Yanliang stared at him with a deadly stare, Xu Zhi'an seemed to be caught in a nightmare, no matter how much he called out, he couldn't wake up, moreover, his face was iron blue, and he looked like he was about to strangle himself alive!

  For some reason, this bizarre scene was somewhat familiar to Bai Yanliang, but he couldn't recall it no matter what.

  This was a very abnormal thing, because Bai Yanyang rarely forgot things, but he could not remember where this inexplicable familiarity came from.

  'No ... no way!' Jiang Li's call with a gasp rang out, 'Can't break his hand at all!'

  Jiang Li had also tried her best, but the scene in front of her made her fear and despair, Xu Zhi An's body seemed to be dominated by another person, using strength far beyond her usual strength to kill herself!

  'Get out of the way!'

  Bai Yanliang suddenly said.

  Jiang Li didn't think much about getting up in a hurry, and just as she stood up, she only saw a dark shadow flash by before it swept solidly against the joints of Xu Zhi'an's arm!

  'Ka-ching-'

  Jiang Li's eyes widened in disbelief as she watched the gentle Bai Yanliang suddenly kick Xu Zhi'an's joints with a breaking sound!

  Xu Zhi'an's right elbow joint was completely reversed, and just looking at it made one feel a huge pain that was unbearable.

  Just as Jiang Li froze, Bai Yanliang delivered another kick!

  'Ka-'

  Xu Zhi'an's left arm was also broken in response!

  Although it looked tragic, Xu Zhinan's life was saved!

  Both arms twisted at a bizarre angle, broken by Bai Yanliang's hard kick, and finally, Xu Zhi'an's fingers were completely unable to use their strength, and softly loosened.

  Only then did Jiang Li understand what Bai Yanliang had done.

  She looked over at Bai Yanliang, only to see that he was still looking calm, and was patting Xu Zhi'an's face in an attempt to wake him up.

  Jiang Li herself didn't even realise that at this time, there was an emotion hidden in the bottom of her eyes that was similar to seeing a ghost, it was called awe ...
