CHAPTER 271: 271: AT THE END OF ONE’S ROPE

Run!

Escape this place!

It became Chuan Er’s only thought. He had witnessed Tie San’s tragic death and naturally wouldn’t do something as foolish as fighting a losing battle.

He bypassed the bandits who were tidying up their equipment, not giving them a chance to discover his whereabouts. He wasn’t afraid of them discovering him but was afraid they were being controlled by that woman...

For the first time, he was in such dire straits!

He was actually forced into a corner by a woman...

Not knowing how long he’d been running, Chuan Er finally arrived at the warehouse entrance. His expression was serious as he forcefully pushed open the iron door, using his body’s momentum to rush inside.

For now, there wasn’t anyone extra guarding the warehouse; if there was only one living person, it was probably Devil King Li Yan, who was tied to a chair.

At this moment, Li Yan had already regained clarity. His dark eyes no longer hollow, but focused on Chuan Er.

Li Yan’s cold lips parted as he calmly said, "Is something the matter?"

Chuan Er didn’t answer. He took a dagger from his pocket and walked towards Li Yan, covering the short distance in just a couple of steps, now standing right in front of him!

"No tools? Switching to a knife?" Li Yan wasn’t panicked or fearful; his tone had a hint of teasing.

"I won’t kill you..." Chuan Er said in response as he started to act. The dagger in his hand swiftly sliced through, cutting all the ropes binding Li Yan in an instant.

The ropes were crudely cut into pieces, and Chuan Er picked them up and threw them to the ground with force.

Li Yan’s stern expression shifted. He furrowed his brow, wondering just what Chuan Er had in mind, and asked, "You want to set me free?"

"Let’s escape together..." Chuan Er urgently uttered, "We’ve been put under magic! We could be controlled at any moment... They want to blow up this mountain, and they want to use my hands to kill me, frame me..."

Chuan Er was on the brink of collapse, admitting to himself that he was ruthless and cruel, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid of things that could control his mind!

He had witnessed with his own eyes Tie San dying in front of him! The agonizing grimace, the heart-wrenching screams still echoed in his mind...

"Are you ill?" Li Yan stated matter-of-factly. Even if it was all a game, he couldn’t just agree immediately. Otherwise, Chuan Er would definitely become suspicious.

"I’m not ill! You’ve really been hypnotized! Just a moment ago... it was that woman... you must believe me..."

Chuan Er gritted his teeth, desperately trying to explain...

However, Li Yan remained indifferent, furrowing his brow as if looking at a madman!

Chuan Er was completely breaking down! He didn’t even know what to do...

"Do you have evidence?" Li Yan wouldn’t push him to madness. At a crucial moment, he posed this question.

Such a question reminded Chuan Er of a critical point!

He suddenly realized an important issue: that Li Yan had been hypnotized earlier and therefore didn’t know the fearfulness of that woman, nor what had actually happened to him!

Therefore...

"When you were under hypnosis, you spoke about the meaning of signals. You said the first red is tomorrow, green is action, and the second red is twelve o’clock, meaning to send someone at twelve tomorrow!"

Forced into a corner, Chuan Er’s memory sharpened as he recounted everything Li Yan had said at the time!
