Chapter 212 - It's Qingtao!

"Say that when you stop—!" Li Feng gasped as the last diagram broke. He then watched Guangru attack the core of the maze formation, shattering the chair sculpture in one strike. The structure tumbled on the floor as if they were pieces of Li Feng's heart.

"We should leave this room now. The Kings know we're here." Liu Xiaodan reached out and carried to the child who turned into his real childlike appearance. He didn't even give the formation a second look before leaving the place. Neither did he care if Li Feng followed them or not. He knew that it was not a logical thing to do…

However, he figured Guangru wouldn't do such a thing as well. There must be something that he knew would happen— that would keep the Kings from harming the patients. As for the nurses and doctors, they should have their own protocols in case things like these would happen.

The father and son walked out of the corridor and discovered that the whole place still felt so stuffy. The formation was in the midst of breaking, and nothing could mend it now that chairs had tumbled. They just wanted to find an exit out of this mess through their feet even if he could simply teleport out using the lamp.

Right, he wondered where the other patients were kept.

"Xiaodan!" Li Feng's voice echoed out, and the father stopped and let the shaman catch up to them. He then grabbed Liu Xiaodan by the collar. "This… this thing you did… you let Guangru do… it will be all on your hands! The deaths! The suffering! The nightmare!"

"I know." Liu Xiaodan held onto Li Feng's hand and pried it off of his collar. For some reason, Liu Xiaodan's hand was freezing cold like he was a corpse out of the cadaver shelf in a morgue. Li Feng pulled back and stared at the man with wide eyes. Worse, Liu Xiaodan decided to smile at him. "Let's go, Li Feng. I can't leave you here on your own at least. Can you tell me where you last saw Jin and Nayi?"

"R-Right… they were supposed to be participating in the same project as we do. I wonder where they are." Li Feng was now reminded that he was supposed to look for them as well. Then again, he glared at Liu Xiaodan. "What if they get eaten by Kings now?"

Liu Xiaodan only hummed. "If they're outside their rooms, I would know where they are. If they stayed inside, they will be safe. All rooms here have a separate formation to keep the Kings out of their rooms. Actually, this will be the safest place now. So if they're inside their room, it's okay for them to stay there. Moreover, all rooms will lock when the emergency lights go red. A lot of people are here, but they're safe."

The shaman wanted to speak again, but he caught a glint of cold light from afar. He then grabbed Liu Xiaodan and pulled him out of the way. A tranquilizer dart just flew past Liu Xiaodan's face. The group then turned to the direction it came from, and a click of a tongue echoed. Soon, they saw a group of people in black garments stop and aim rifles at them.

"Project Hades! We're armed with blessed bullets! This will hurt." The acting captain, Dong Chao, spoke and aimed direction at Liu Xiaodan's face. He was even using his laser pointer to warn Liu Xiaodan. "Throw 4-31 this way! Now!" The elite squad took off the safety locks of their guns, the cl.i.c.k.i.n.g sounds creating an ugly symphony for Liu Xiaodan.

"I can see Mr. Six, Mr. Seven, and Mr. Ten… did they not tell you what I think of guns?" Liu Xiaodan growled as he turned to face them. He actually called them out as if reminding them of a deal they once had. However, before he could speak again, the group open fired without warning.

Li Feng only flinched and used his arm to shield his face. He knew that it wouldn't cause him any good to use his arm as a shield against bullets. However, he didn't feel the sting of being shot. He turned to the rest, and the soldiers weren't also aware why Liu Xiaodan wasn't reacting to the bullets. It wasn't like he was stopping them in the air or evading them in slow-mo like some movie dude.

It's just that the next second, Liu Xiaodan gave them an answer. Bang! Bang! Bang! The rapid fire of their bullets reflected on them. They were wearing vests so it couldn't be lethal. However, the heavy fire surely knocked them out from the impact of the bullets. Of course, the bullets could have ruptured through the vest as well.

Strangely, three of them didn't feel any pain. It was because Six, Seven, and Ten didn't fire at him. They were aiming, but their fingers didn't press on the trigger. They never forgot how scary Liu Xiaodan could get—not to mention his spawned Kings. Actually, they didn't even know that Liu Xiaodan had God Raven inside him. If it got ugly, he would feed these men to the King for his help to locate Guangru.

"You remembered." Liu Xiaodan smiled at them, but it wasn't something they wanted to receive. It's just that, Six ripped his helmet off and presented his face to Liu Xiaodan. Actually, he really resembled Mian Qingwei despite her starved face. He then spoke, "Xiaodan! Is it true? You found Qingwei?"

"Ah, it's Qingtao!" Li Feng didn't know what Mian Qingtao do in the facility. He thought Mian Qingtao was some orderly; who knew that he was actually one of the elite squad members? Right, Liu Xiaodan called him Mr. Six earlier… and even today he said the same thing.

Liu Xiaodan only nodded, but he sighed after. "We did, but she's crazed at the moment. I don't think you should get near her right now. She might not recognize you."

Mian Qingtao walked out of the pile of wriggling people. He then slung his rifle on his back. "Uhm, can you forgive them just this once? These guys are new and ignorant. They didn't even know what's going on here in the Treatment Hall. Also, Xiaodan, we're trapped again."

"We're not trapped. The maze formation is collapsing. We will find our way out… we might just run into a King though." Liu Xiaodan then turned away. "But I still have to look for some patients. You can leave if you want."

"Huh? How could you be so calm that it's collapsing? Doesn't that mean that something finally managed to break it?" Mian Qingtao then waved a hand before Li Feng as if waking him up from the daze. "Feng'er, how are you even with this guy? Did he kidnap you or something? Are you leaving with me, or are you following him?"

"...I… don't know..." Li Feng was suddenly disoriented as if something was hitting him in the head. Even Liu Xiaodan stopped walking and turned in his direction. The shaman then soon felt like he was out in the sea. He reached out and left his weight in the hands of his distant uncle… only to finally pass out.

Guangru's eyes flickered as he realized that something was radiating on Li Feng's back pocket. He then twitched before the child giggled. "Big Brother Heima so naughty. Hm, that's good… that's good." The child then smiled. "Baba, Old Xiong found Jin… but he said something is very wrong with your friend."
