Chapter 144 Tell me, how do I get in?
In the dark and damp basement.
The moment Jiang Qi opened his eyes, he was met with complete darkness.
He moved his neck uncomfortably, and the cold touch startled Jiang Qi.
I felt a pain in my wrist, but it was too dark to see anything.
Jiang Qi could only sense that he was imprisoned somewhere. He tried to stand up, but unexpectedly, heavy chains were also tied to his feet.
Darkness spread silently, and Jiang Qi could hear the clanging of chains whenever he moved.
Jiang Qi struggled to escape this place, but at that moment the basement door was pushed open.
With a "click," the person suddenly turned on the light, and the basement lights instantly blazed on.
The blinding light, like a sharp sword, pierced through the dim air and illuminated the entire basement.
The intense light made Jiang Qi, who was locked up, feel uncomfortable. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, trying to block out the sudden stimulation.
His pupils contracted under the bright light, and his eyes felt a stinging pain.
Jiang Qi frowned, and instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring light.
Unfortunately, his hands were firmly locked behind his back, rendering him unable to move.
The basement walls and ceiling were now bathed in bright white light, a far cry from the previous gloom.
The man's figure was exceptionally clear under the glaring light.
A faint smile played on his lips, as if he were enjoying Jiang Qi's struggle and helplessness.
Jiang Qi raised his head and stared directly at the man in front of him.
Jiang Qi was extremely familiar with the newcomer's features and smile; who else could it be but Lu Zhi?
With the light, the viewers in the live stream could see the scene on the screen more clearly.
A beautiful necklace constricted Jiang Qi's fair neck, causing a red ring to appear around it.
His hands and feet were completely bound by chains, and his wrists were covered with crisscrossing scars.
"At first I thought the nightmare game was malfunctioning again, and everything was black."
"I didn't expect that things would be so exciting right from the start for our God Qi."
"Will what happens next be something we can watch?"
"Hey, I entered the right live stream room. Is this still a legitimate live stream room?"
"Stop talking, you girls upstairs, you're making me have all sorts of wild thoughts."
"However, something seems off about Lu Zhi. How can our God Qi break this deadlock?"
“Something’s not right, something’s extremely wrong. The others all started from childhood.”
"I hope Qi Shen is not in danger, sob sob sob, he's a player I've been following closely."
Lu Zhi approached step by step, gently lifting Jiang Qi's chin and lightly stroking it with his fingertips.
Jiang Qi forcefully broke free from his hand, and Lu Zhi's eyes darkened, his gaze instantly turning cold.
He stared at Jiang Qi for a long time before Jiang Qi heard him say something.
"Brother, wouldn't it be better to stay with me quietly? Why do you always think about leaving me?"
Lu Zhi's dark, deep eyes looked at him with a heavy gaze, the meaning of which was unclear.
Despite being at a disadvantage, Jiang Qi still stood up straight, looked down at him with a mocking gaze, and frowned as he spoke in a stern voice.
"Go away, don't touch me."
When Lu Zhi heard his brother speaking harshly to him, his expression instantly turned aggrieved.
She forcefully pulled Jiang Qi into her arms, her eyes bloodshot, and softly called him "brother."
Jiang Qi's tense shoulders gradually relaxed, and the strength of his struggle also gradually decreased.
Her voice was hoarse and seductive, "Be good, Lu Zhi, can you let me go first? It's so uncomfortable being chained up."
"I swear I'll never leave you again, please let me go?"
Rarely seeing his brother back down, Lu Zhi didn't hesitate. He first untied the rope around his neck, then his hands, and finally his feet.
Seeing that Jiang Qi showed no signs of wanting to escape, Lu Zhi carried him out of the basement.
Jiang Qi observed the layout of the room; it turned out to be his own home.
He raised his wrist and took a closer look.
The scar above was an old one, but due to his struggle, the scab had been worn away, leaving it completely red.
The one holding him was Lu Zhi, yet not Lu Zhi; they were fundamentally different.
Jiang Qi entered the bathroom barefoot, and this time he took a cold shower.
Lu Zhi stood guard outside the door, the thin glass door blocking his view.
After taking a shower, Jiang Qi changed into the white shirt and trousers that Lu Zhi had prepared for him.
He stood in the bathroom thinking of a solution. He vaguely remembered that he had left a hammer in the cabinet in the bathroom.
However, he is not entirely sure if this place even exists.
We had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless. The first layer didn't have it, the second layer didn't have it either, and now we were at the last layer.
Jiang Qi had already given up hope. He pulled open the last layer, and inside, a claw hammer lay quietly.
Hmm? There really is.
The bathroom door opened, and Jiang Qi, with his hands behind his back, gave Lu Zhi a handsome smile, speaking in an extremely gentle and tender manner.
"Lu Zhi, come here, I have something to tell you."
Lu Zhi had no suspicions and walked straight toward him.
When Lu Zhi was only one step away from him.
Jiang Qi acted swiftly, grabbing Lu Zhi by the throat and shoving him against the wall.
Then, Jiang Qi leaned close to Lu Zhi's ear, blew a suggestive breath into him, smiled, and suddenly a claw hammer appeared in his hand.
Lu Zhi looked at Jiang Qi in disbelief and tried to break free, but Jiang Qi hit him on the temple with a hammer.
Blood splattered everywhere, some of the crimson blood landing on Jiang Qi's cheeks.
His eyes, however, were sinister and piercing, staring at the fallen Lu Zhi with a dark and unfathomable gaze.
She brushed aside her bangs with her slender white fingers, revealing her full forehead, and stepped on Lu Zhi's corpse with one foot.
A pair of cold hands slowly caressed Jiang Qi's ankle. Lu Zhi raised his head, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
"You're still the same, you've never changed."
"However, you can run now, but you better not let me catch you."
Lu Zhi let go of Jiang Qi's hand, and Jiang Qi ran out the door without hesitation.
Despite Jiang Qi's thorough preparations, when Lu Zhi thrust the dagger at him...
He tried to block it with his hand, but Lu Zhi changed direction and stabbed into his thigh.
Jiang Qi continued to smash Lu Zhi's head with the claw hammer, his movements swift, accurate, and ruthless, and then kicked Lu Zhi to the ground.
Before he could react, Jiang Qi pushed open the door and ran away, dragging his injured leg.
Jiang Qi ran downstairs in a hurry, blood flowing all over the ground, ignoring the pain.
He first took a breath in the stairwell and quickly bandaged the wound on his thigh.
After cleaning up the bloodstains, Jiang Qi pushed open another door, intending to take the elevator to the rooftop.
At this moment, the real Lu Zhi exists in a void.
Only Xiao Luzhi was beside him, and in front of him, like a television screen, was playing a video of Jiang Qi's current situation.
Lu Zhi pursed his lips, his eyes gradually turning bloodshot, his gloomy gaze filled with coldness.
He suddenly grabbed "Little Lu Zhi" by the neck and spoke calmly.
"Lu Hui, how much longer are you going to pretend?"
"Is this how you greet your brother?"
"Little Lu Zhi" kicked his legs wildly and said in a weak voice, "This is my gift to you. Are you happy, brother?"
"If Jiang Qi dies, will you be so sad that you want to die?"
"And the reason you can reverse time time again is because..."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Lu Zhi tightened his grip, as if he intended to strangle him.
Lu Hui simply stopped struggling and just looked at him with pity in her eyes.
"Your brother is injured, and it must be very painful to be unable to save him."
Lu Zhi immediately released Lu Hui, who was lying on the ground coughing incessantly.
"Speak, Lu Hui, did Mother send you to find me?"
"Who am I to tell you."
"My patience is limited."
After a moment of stunned silence, Lu Hui curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes revealing an obvious smile, tinged with malice.
"Brother, you're threatening me again, but seeing the people you care about in so much pain makes me happy."
Lu Zhi's expression remained unchanged.
"In terms of human social relations, you should call him sister-in-law."
"You just need to take care of yourself. If I hadn't gone easy on you, you wouldn't be alive today."
"Ha, I'm speechless..."
"Oh, and most importantly, your wife doesn't want you anymore."
Lu Zhi said, slowly and deliberately, "You." "Wife." "No." "Want." "You." "Gone."
Every word pierced Lu Hui's heart, and he immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
"Tell me how I get in."
