I'm Not a Theatre God

Chapter 204 Scoring Twice

Star Chamber of Commerce.

"Uncle Long, has he not come back yet?" Yan Xishou looked at the time and asked uneasily while sitting on the sofa.

"Not yet, but he should be soon." The old housekeeper said slowly, "Young Master, don't worry... The paper puppet master is a fifth-level strongman, and his combat power is also the highest among the three people who stayed in the Chamber of Commerce. With his strength, nothing will go wrong."

"That's good." Yan Xishou breathed a sigh of relief, "Have you arranged it with the law enforcer?"

"Okay, no matter how loud the noise is tonight, no law enforcer will come to meddle in the matter... As for the subsequent ending, someone will handle it and it won't cause any disturbance."

Yan Xishou nodded, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.

A figure came forward and whispered something in the butler's ear, who nodded slightly:

"Master, the paper puppet master is back."

"Oh? Did you succeed?"

"Jian Changsheng has been caught. Wen Shilin and Lin Yan are cunning and didn't go home last night... But he said he caught a guy who is suspected to be related to them. After the soul-breaking search, there should be results."

"The two most important people haven't been caught..." Yan Xishou frowned slightly, "Give him the authority to search for evidence with the soul-breaking, and tell him to catch those two people today no matter what method he uses... no matter if they are dead or alive."

"Yes."

...

The dim torches illuminated the corridor of the dungeon, and a hunchbacked man carrying a paper puppet walked slowly among the many cells.

With his appearance, the guards who were originally stationed in various places in the dungeon showed fear in their eyes, lowered their heads silently, and did not dare to look at him.

Finally, the hunchbacked man stopped in front of two of the cells.

He waved his hand casually, and two paper figures automatically floated into the cell. When the paper pages were folded, two figures staggered out of the air and were locked in the cell.

"Keep an eye on them, I'll go prepare the soul-breaking evidence search." The hunchbacked man said lightly, "Ten minutes later, take them to the interrogation room."

"Yes!" A scarred man came over and answered immediately.

The hunchbacked man was about to leave, and he looked back at Scarface, "I heard that you let someone escape from the dungeon a few days ago?"

As soon as this sentence came out, sweat oozed from Scarface's forehead, and a smile squeezed out of his mouth,

"At that time... it was an accident..."

The hunchbacked man took a deep look at the two cells and was silent for a moment,

"Forget it, these two people are Shinto owners, you may not be able to control them... I will come to take them away in a while."

After saying that, the hunchbacked man waved his hand again, and two paper figures floated out from his side as if weightless, guarding the entrance and exit of the dungeon. Then he was relieved and turned to walk towards the interrogation room.

With the departure of the hunchbacked man, the atmosphere in the dungeon finally relaxed, but even so, the guards stationed everywhere looked at the two bright and strange paper figures at the gate, and still felt uneasy.

"Do you look down on us so much... You left by yourself, and you have to leave two people to follow you." In the dungeon, a guard waited for him to walk away, looking a little unhappy.

"Speak softly, what if the two paper figures can hear you?"

"Paper figures don't have ears, how can they hear you?"

"What on earth did that Jian guy use to escape last time? I still don't understand..."

"It was very strange at that time. He was fine at first. When we turned around after patrolling, the cell was empty... It was like he evaporated out of thin air."

"Isn't he just an ordinary soldier god? How could he evaporate out of thin air... You must have overlooked something and let him run away."

"No matter where this kid can run to? He was caught again... Keep a close eye on him this time, and don't let him run away again."

"..."

The guards talked to each other, and from time to time someone would come to the door of Jian Changsheng's cell and look at him with vigilance, as if they were afraid that Jian Changsheng would disappear again if they turned their heads...

Jian Changsheng looked at the familiar environment around him, and a bitter look appeared on his wounded face.

"After many twists and turns... I'm back again."

Jian Changsheng never thought that he would be caught again... This time, he was already desperate. He knew that the people from the Twilight Society would not come to save him a second time, but it was impossible for him to escape from prison by himself.

He completely messed up the trial of the Twilight Society this time. What awaits him may be endless soul-breaking torture.

"Lin Yan? Are you okay?"

Jian Changsheng leaned against the wall weakly, thinking of the unlucky guy who was caught with him next door, and spoke helplessly.

There was no sound from next door. It should be that Chen Ling has not woken up yet, or he was too disappointed with his performance in the battle just now and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Sorry, that [Ou Shen Dao] is too strong. I can't get close to him at all." Jian Changsheng sighed, "This time I am a burden to you..."

"I thought that if I escaped from here, I could start my own life, but fate played tricks on me and I ended up back here... Why do you think my life is so miserable? I'm either being killed or being hunted. Since I embarked on this [Shura] path, my luck has never been good."

"Is this the price of talent? But I don't even have a chance to use my talent!"

Jian Changsheng cursed angrily, his eyes full of bitterness and helplessness. He was silent for a long time and spoke again:

"Not everyone can survive the soul-shattering search for evidence. You have to be mentally prepared... maybe ten minutes After that, we will say goodbye forever."

"In fact, I still concealed something from you before. My name is not Jian Wubing, but Jian Changsheng..."

At this point, Jian Changsheng no longer needed to pretend. He spoke quietly and sadly, as if he was telling his last words, or saying goodbye to Chen Ling;

However, just as he was halfway through his words, several patrolling guards passed by the door of his cell. After glancing at him, they confirmed that Jian Changsheng did not disappear out of thin air this time. They breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at another cell next door...

The next moment, they stayed where they were!

The scarred man in the lead rubbed his eyes and opened his mouth in shock, as if he had seen a ghost!

"Damn it! Where are the people next door? ! ! ! "
