The slight tingling sensation faded, followed by a soft and numb feeling at the location of his wound.
Bai Lixin was stunned for a moment. He was about to check when suddenly, the water in the sewer began to drain.
The locator he placed at the drain was immediately swept into the sewer. Bai Lixin wasted no time, quickly opening the interface in his mind, and saw the red dot representation the locator swiftly moving in the sewer.
As it was the second drainage, he could already anticipate the route and notice things he overlooked in the previous attempt.
Initially, the movement was fast, but it slowed down later. After a slow segment, the red dot’s speed increased again.
Bai Lixin focused as the red dot approached the spot where it vanished before. If it passed this time, the earlier disappearance might have been an accident.
But, if it disappeared again, there must be something there. Soon, the red dot arrived at the same spot, and almost exactly like last time, it disappeared once more.
Bai Lixin: “…”
It was disrupted again.
According to the escape system’s map, there was still a distance from where the red dot disappeared to the actual entry into the ocean, but now there were obstacles ahead.
It seemed relying solely on the locator wouldn’t suffice, he had to go into the sewer himself.
As he contemplated, hurried footsteps echoed above him.
Bai Lixin made a “shush” to Dijia and pretended to be unconscious.
Soon, Dr. Olay brought guards to the poolside.
The merman glanced at the net above and then at Bai Lixin. Finally, he chose to leave him aside and swam to the other side.
In the partially filled pool, the guards quickly found the drowned Bai Lixin.
The net skillfully went down, lifting Bai Lixin from underwater.
Seeing Bai Lixin floating up, the merman slapped his tail irritably, making a muffled sound on impact with the wall.
He was angry that his mate was taken away.
He hadn’t even figured out where the hole was!
Seeing that Bai Lixin was fished out, Dr. Olay quickly stopped draining the water. With half the water gone, the merman couldn’t see what was happening above.
After thinking for awhile, he entered the nearby large glass container, trying to see what they would do to his mate through the transparent glass.
He saw the “unconscious” young man getting lifted by two guards and placed on the ground.
After checking Bai Lixin’s breathing, one guard reported to the two doctors, “He’s still alive, just unconscious.”
While speaking, the young man suddenly coughed heavily, spitting out a puddle of water.
He opened his eyelids weakly and looked around blankly. When he saw Dr. Olay, he staggered up from the ground and rushed towards him.
Due to the sudden turn of events, the guards were slow to react. By the time they realized something was wrong, Bai Lixin had already grabbed Dr. Olay’s collar and pushed him to the edge of the pool.
The young man with beautiful features was now glaring at Dr. Olay in anger. “Damn it, if you don’t want to pay, just say so. Did you really have to take my life?”
“Did you already know that the merman would attack upon hearing the word ‘faith’?”
“Do you want this merman to kill me?!”
“You son of a bitch! If you want to kill me, I’ll kill you first!”
Dr. Olay’s upper body was completely suspended in the pool. Fear appeared on his usually indifferent face, and he desperately grabbed Bai Lixin’s wrist, trying to pry his hand open.
Unexpectedly, the young man was surprisingly strong. Despite his efforts, Bai Lixin’s hand remained unyielding.
In desperation, he had no choice but to shout at the people around him frantically, “What are you doing?! Can’t you see he’s trying to push me down? Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and pull him away!”
The guards finally came to their senses and immediately stood up, each grabbing an arm, attempting to pull Bai Lixin away.
But for some reason, the enraged young man was exceptionally strong. No matter how hard they pulled, they couldn’t separate him.
Seeing that he wad about to be pushed down, Dr. Olay felt an inexplicable fear.
He knew the destructive power of merman no. 1. Although he liked merman no. 1, he also feared him.
Not to mention what would happen if he was pushed down, just leaning against the pool, he felt his blood reversing.
He had done a lot of harm to merman no. 1, so he probably wanted to kill him. If merman no. 1 suddenly jumped out of the water now, he could easily twist his neck!
In the face of immense fear, Dr. Olay pleaded with a pale face, “I was wrong! I’m sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have let you ask about ‘faith.’ I swear, I won’t let you ask again from now on!”
“Pull me up quickly, pull me up! Pull me up before that merman comes over, I beg you!”
‘Help! Someone help me! Who’s going to pull this lunatic away?
This is a lunatic!’
He begged in terror, every muscle in his body trembling. At this moment, Dr. Olay resembled a frightened mangy dog, devoid of the arrogance he had before.
In the glass container, the merman placed both hands on the glass wall, swaying his beautiful blue tail happily.
‘Awesome.
My mate is so charming.
As expected of the person I chose, he’s truly outstanding.
He looks good even when he’s angry, he’s so perfect.’

In the live broadcast room
[Well done! I’ve disliked Dr. Olay for more than just one or two days, but for four days! Come on God Xin, just press him into the water!]
[We can’t do that. Dr. Olay is an NPC who gives out tasks. Scaring him is fine, but if he is really thrown down, how will God Xin complete the mission?]
[Tsk tsk, tsk, God Xin shows some real spirit when he goes crazy.]
[Hmm… the big boss looks very happy.]
[To be honest, God Xin seems happy too.]
[Hahaha, they keep the joy for themselves and leave the sorrow for others.]
[What’s this? The crazier God Xin gets, the more the big boss loves him.]
[I have a question. Did God Xin know the big boss was staring at him from behind when in the water earlier?]
[Good question, I want to know too. How about you go in and ask God Xin for me?]
[Uh, excuse me, I’m afraid God Xin might throw me into the water too. This is the difference between ordinary people and the big boss, right? Only the big boss can handle any kind of God Xin.]
[So, there are millions of ordinary people, but only one big boss.]
BLX really flexing here huh, thanks for ze updates!
