‘The effect of Drunken Hand, when applied repeatedly to a target, gradually induces resistance. The second instance is directly halved, thereafter steadily declining, until the thirteenth time, when it becomes utterly ineffective.’
Li Chengyi flashed through the effects of Drunken Hand’s Flower Language Technique in his mind.
His choice of fixing the two children’s feet to the wall was deliberate.
That section of the wall was on the side of the shelves.
From his angle, he could see every move of the children’s feet through the gap at the bottom of the shelves clearly.
In this way, every dozen seconds or so, when he saw them about to break free, he would go up and add another sword thrust.
Time ticked away.
Finally.
On the seventh reinforcement, ten minutes had elapsed.
Ding…
A wave of dizziness overwhelmed Li Chengyi, causing his vision to blur.
All the scenery in his view started to distort, rotate, change color, and blur.
After several seconds.
The light in front of him suddenly darkened.
Thump.
The Gladiolus Floral Dress rapidly dissipated.
Li Chengyi opened his eyes wide, looking at the bare wall in front of him.
He was standing in front of a grayish-white wall between two storefronts.
His nose almost hit the wall.
The location of the wall was exactly where he had entered the Silent Store.
But at this moment, there was no Silent Store, just a cement wall that had long been sealed off.
The wall was covered with a hodgepodge of rental advertisements.
‘Came out?’
Li Chengyi stood still for a while, slowly adjusting to the cacophony of sounds flooding his ears like a tide.
The sound of cars, voices, distant music, all came to life, pouring into his ears.
The noises that had been so annoying just a moment ago now felt incredibly warm.
After standing there for over ten seconds, he slowly came to his senses and turned to face the street bustling with vehicles.
“You, you’re bleeding!?” Suddenly, a voice came from nearby – it was a girl in a sundress passing by, standing to the side and exclaiming in a low voice as she looked at him.
Li Chengyi, pressing a hand on his shoulder wound, smiled at her.
“It’s nothing serious. Just a superficial wound.”
He raised his other hand, looking at the bottle of mixed fruit juice drink he held.
He knew that at least he hadn’t come away empty-handed.
Sss.
Suddenly a black SUV stopped by the roadside not far away.
The car door opened, Song Ran and Sima Gui got out and hurried over towards him.
“You’re hurt! Get in the car first!” Song Ran supported Li Chengyi, noticing his icy cold body and feeling a shock in her heart.
“I’m fine… should be…” Li Chengyi tried to refuse, but he was suddenly aware that his body was weak and tingling.
“Poisoned.” Sima Gui came forward to help support Li Chengyi, and together they helped him into the car.
Thump.
The car door closed, and the SUV quickly started, returning in the direction of the company.
The passerby girl on the sidewalk was left with a dazed expression, clueless about what had just happened.
Inside the car.
Streams of light from the outside continuously passed over Li Chengyi. He lay half-reclined on the back seat, his complexion pale, his lips gradually losing their color.
“How did you guys get here?” Li Chengyi asked in a low voice, feeling his strength slipping away.
“All of the equipment on you has the boss’s special encryption and shielding, and is consistently calibrated by the head office department. If you enter a blind spot, all devices on you will instantly lose all signal.
Unless you enter an environment that completely blocks all signals, it’s certain you’ve entered a blind spot.”
Song Ran answered gravely, “From the moment you joined the company, all the equipment on you has been under company protection; it’s not something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can infiltrate and monitor.”
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Li Chengyi’s eyes.
He’d had some sense of it after all, having been constantly on the move and discretely changing his outfit in many places. Had his phone and other devices been tracked, he would have been discovered long ago.
After all, in this world, it’s not only cameras that can monitor someone’s movements. Phones, computers, AR glasses – any device with a chip – could monitor a person’s voice and location, and even images.
Recording someone’s conversations without their consent, in this information age, is nothing new.
“Feeling any better?” Sima Gui administered a syringe of purple medication to Li Chengyi swiftly.
The medication came from a first aid kit in the car, with packaging marked with rows of high-risk warnings, clearly indicating strong side effects and fast-acting potency.
“One dose of Green Shadow should be enough, it can temporarily boost metabolism and neutralize most types of toxins. Start drinking lots of water now, to speed up metabolism,” Song Ran spoke with a grave voice. “Can you identify what type of toxin it is?”
“Not sure, there are no symptoms affecting the digestive system; the main problem is with blood loss. His red blood cell concentration is dropping fast!”
Sima Gui used a device resembling a thermometer, pressing it firmly against Li Chengyi’s wrist, his voice growing grave.
“Invasive microbial infection? Mixed with some special hemolytic toxin?” Song Ran speculated.

“The speed is too fast, what hemolytic toxin can dissolve so many red blood cells this quickly!?” Sima Gui watched the quickly falling numbers on the device, sweat beginning to form on his forehead.
He examined Li Chengyi’s wound, the blood was still flowing, but other than that, there were no color changes.
“Damn it! This equipment can’t identify the source! The red blood cell concentration is nearing 30!! Think of something fast!!”
His voice was becoming frantic. Normal values for an adult male are around one hundred fifty, and 30 is as low as it can get.
