They carefully carried the cow out of the room and moved it slowly and steadily down the corridor.
Niu Jieshi's senses were still working; he could feel the air around him moving, and even the tense heartbeats of the shadowy figures.
And so, Niu Jieshi was led into a passage he had never walked through before.
The lights on the walls were dim, and there was an indescribable atmosphere in the air.
They passed through several doors and finally stopped in what appeared to be an ordinary room.
The door was opened, and Niu Jieshi was gently placed on a bed.
He heard several people whispering to each other, but they spoke very softly, as if trying to avoid being overheard.
Taking this opportunity, Niu Jieshi opened his eyes a crack and surveyed his surroundings.
The walls of the small room were not clearly colored, and there were no windows or doors. It seemed to be a sealed space, which made people feel somewhat suffocated.
To be precise, the layout here is more like a prison cell.
The walls were covered with thick dust and dark red spots, as if blood had once stained them.
The ground was hard, seemingly paved with several large stones, with gaps in the middle, possibly for ventilation.
There were rows of metal pillars all around, each as thick as a thigh and gleaming. Countless screws firmly secured them to the ground.
Judging from these pillars, the small room looks somewhat like a cage, lifeless and exuding a sense of decay.
The entire space was so dark that it was almost impossible to see anything, with only a faint light in the corners providing any glimpse.
The atmosphere here is oppressive and frightening, as if people are imprisoned between copper and iron walls.
Not quite right
Niu Jieshi frowned; the feeling here made him very uncomfortable.
Chapter 596 More Than Just Sleeping Pills
Smoke slowly filled the room, and Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi's gazes met in the haze. As if they had known each other all along, they both smiled.
Shi Shi gently shifted her body to make herself more comfortable on the bed.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of excitement shone through the smile on her lips.
Jiang Xiao gently waved his hand, signaling his daughter not to get too excited.
Both of them knew that such smoke was no threat to them at all.
Their bodies have undergone countless training sessions and battles, making them practically real-life superheroes.
They have extremely high resistance to this type of drug and can drink it like sweet water.
The door to the room slowly opened, and several figures sneaked in stealthily in a flash.
Just like the process on the other side, their movements were gentle and cautious, clearly intending to complete their task without disturbing the "sleeping" person.
Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi remained asleep, but their minds were racing.
They knew that these people's intentions were definitely not simple. What were their goals, and what would happen next? They needed to find out for themselves.
Shi Shi felt someone approach her and gently shake her shoulder, as if to confirm whether she was really asleep.
Her body showed no reaction, as if she had truly fallen into a deep sleep.
The person outside seemed satisfied with Shi Shi's "sleeping" state, and then turned to Jiang Xiao.
They probed in the same way, but Jiang Xiao did not react at all.
After confirming that both of them were "dead asleep," the shadowy figures began to move.
They carefully lifted Shi Shi up first, and then turned to Jiang Xiao.
The two were gently carried out of the room and moved silently down the corridor.
After passing through several corridors that the three of them hadn't walked through before, the two were finally led to a new area.
The decor here is completely different from what I've seen before, giving me a feeling of oppression and unease.
They were placed on two separate beds, and the shadowy figures around them began to whisper among themselves.
Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi exchanged a glance, a hint of amusement flashing in their eyes.
As the saying goes, it's not that we're afraid of having many people come, it's that we're afraid of having no one come at all!
Niu Jieshi waited for a while longer, but no one came to deal with him.
Just when he thought these people had forgotten about him, footsteps came from the doorway, and two men in guard uniforms entered.
Their footsteps were steady and powerful, clearly indicating that they were specially trained.
Niu Jieshi felt a little uneasy, but he maintained his previous posture without any change.
He knew that every little move he made could expose him.
The guards walked to the bedside, but did not act immediately; instead, they stood there and observed for a while.
They seemed to be confirming something. Then, one of them went to the bedside and tapped the iron block on the headboard of Niu Jieshi's bed, making a crisp sound.
"Alright, bro, stop pretending."
One of the guards said, with a hint of mockery in his voice.
?
Niu Jieshi remained motionless, assuming the two were bluffing him.
Unexpectedly, Niu Jieshi didn't speak, and the two of them didn't make any further moves, just leaning against Niu Jieshi's bedside.
It's as if they won't act unless the ox is sturdy and speaks.
In the end, Niu Jieshi realized that he had indeed been seen through.
How did you know I wasn't unconscious?
Niu Jieshi asked tentatively, trying to make his voice sound somewhat confused and bewildered.
Another guard chuckled twice, seemingly mocking Niu Jieshi's self-righteousness.
Niu Jieshi's heart tightened.
What's going on? Did these people know from the beginning that they weren't asleep?
His mind raced with various possibilities, trying to find the logic behind it all.
"What do you mean?"
Niu Jieshi asked, feigning confusion, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
"What do you mean? Oh, you'll understand soon enough."
The guard who had spoken earlier replied with a smug smile on his lips.
Niu Jieshi noticed that although the guards' movements were professional, their eyes did not reveal pure coldness.
It was more of a sense of amusement and anticipation. This made him even more uneasy, but he knew now was not the time to reveal himself.
The guards began a thorough search of Niu Jieshi's body, turning every pocket inside out, and even taking off his shoes for inspection.
They even used a small scanner to scan the cow's body back and forth, seemingly looking for some special signal or object.
Finally, after a thorough search, the guards confirmed that Niu Jieshi was not carrying any weapons or items that posed a threat to them.
"Alright, stop pretending. We know you're a weirdo. How could sleeping pills possibly work on you?"
This time, the guard spoke directly and without any beating around the bush.
Niu Jieshi was startled; he hadn't expected his identity to be discovered so quickly.
He quickly swallowed, but still maintained a dazed expression, trying to hide his shock.
"Strange? I don't know what you mean."
Niu Jieshi tried his best to make his voice sound innocent and confused.
However, the guards clearly had no intention of continuing the game.
One of them stepped closer and said in a low, cold voice.
"Stop wasting time. Our patience is limited, and we already know about your special abilities and your purpose in this place."
Niu Jieshi realized that continuing to pretend was pointless; they had clearly gathered enough information.
His brows furrowed slightly, then he slowly sat up, abandoning his feigned sleep and preparing to take action.
"It seems I underestimated you."
Niu Jieshi's tone carried a hint of appreciation, but more so an indifferent attitude.
After all, even if all these humans attacked together, they wouldn't be enough for him to crush with one hand!
"Now that you know my identity, what do you plan to do?"
Niu Jieshi asked, his gaze fixed on the guard standing in front of him.
"How to do it?"
The two guards looked at Niu Jieshi with pity.
