Chapter 41
Rong Yuan appeared in time and first glanced at Bai Le and others. He saw that they only suffered some minor injuries and were not seriously injured. Bai Xiang was more seriously injured. With his injuries, he could not save his leg in Yuxing where there was a lack of medicines and treatment equipment. But if he was in the outside world, let alone breaking the bones, even if the whole leg was chopped off, it would be easy to give him a new one.
The mental force swept over Snow at his feet. Perhaps because Han Yue was most , he was the most seriously injured among all the people present. But Snow's physique was extremely strong. After being injured, his muscles automatically contracted to stop bleeding, so although his injuries were serious, they were not fatal.
Therefore, Rong Yuan was not in a hurry to treat him. He was very interested in listening to the reasons why Han Yue did this.
People often do stupid things that he finds unbelievable. In the past, Rong Yuan thought that stupid people should use their brains more, but after experiencing more things, he became more tolerant. Even if they are enemies, he can be patient and understand their reasons. If there are really some unavoidable difficulties or if he encounters a character that he admires, he will raise his hand and let the other party go. Sometimes he will find that the facts are completely opposite to what he sees on the surface, which will make him have some unexpected discoveries or touches.
So at this moment, Rong Yuan looked at Han Yue, not in a hurry to take action, but waiting for him to speak.
The cold gaze fell on his face, and Han Yue shuddered uncontrollably. He suddenly remembered the first time he flew in space on a spaceship, and the scene he saw through the small window - the vast, boundless darkness, with countless stars emitting eternal and lonely light, which made people feel endless awe.
He was so distracted that he suddenly forgot to speak until someone behind him bravely poked him on the back. Han Yue suddenly came to his senses and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.
At that moment, he felt as if he was walking on an endless ice field, and thought that there was a thick and solid layer of ice under his feet. However, when he looked down, he saw countless cracks on the thin ice layer that was about to melt, and there was a bottomless abyss below.
But he had no way out.
Han Yue secretly took two deep breaths to suppress the fear that suddenly arose in his heart. Looking at Rong Yuan again, he felt that there was nothing unusual about him except that he looked a little better. All the feelings just now seemed to be that he was scaring himself. With this thought, he felt alive again, and his cold limbs slowly regained some warmth.
Thinking of his embarrassing performance before - although no one knew about it except himself, Han Yue still felt angry. He looked at Rong Yuan with a somewhat unfriendly look, but seeing that he had been waiting for him to speak, and his eyes were always peaceful and calm, he felt a great honor and joy to be respected and even valued, and inexplicably developed a good impression of him.
Rong Yuan and everyone around him saw that since Rong Yuan appeared, the majestic Han Yue seemed to be trapped in a strange and independent little world. His face turned pale, green, and red, and the color was unpredictable, just like a neon light installed under his skin. His trusted men behind him thought that Rong Yuan had cast an illusion on him, making the atmosphere even more tense. They poked Han Yue's back with their fingers three or four times before they saw Han Yue's body tremble, as if he woke up.
At this time, Han Yue was already feeling cold all over.
With just one look, he could manipulate his emotions. How could he think he could control his thoughts and decisions?
Han Yue's drastic and strange expression changes made Rong Yuan feel puzzled. If it wasn't for the inappropriate situation, he would have wanted to find a mirror to see if he really looked that scary.
Han Yue took a deep breath, and his fingers involuntarily touched the poisoned crossbow hidden in his sleeve. Only then did he feel a little relieved, and then he finally found some of the demeanor of the president of Baihua, and smiled and said: "Mr. Rong...Mr. Rong, it's our first meeting. I have heard of you for a long time. I am the president of Baihua, Han Yue."
"Oh, I've heard a lot about you." Rong Yuan said, "No need to be polite. Just tell me your conditions."
There was another commotion in the crowd. Countless people were ready to make a move, wanting to take down Rong Yuan by relying on their numbers. Many people also cast eager eyes on Han Yue, expecting him to fulfill the conditions he had promised them before.
This expectation will become Han Yue's invincible strength at this time, but if the hope is not realized, it may also become the butcher's knife that cuts off his head. Under tremendous pressure, Han Yue gathered his thoughts and his mind became clearer than ever before. He said: "Mr. Rong is really decisive! Well, in this case, I won't beat around the bush. Today, I - and my brothers and sisters who have been suffering on Prison Star for many years - are gathered here because I heard a piece of news." He paused, as if waiting for Rong Yuan to ask, but seeing that he did not respond, he solemnly said: "May I ask Mr. Rong... do you have a mecha with you?"
All eyes were on Rong Yuan, filled with anticipation, worry, fear, and countless other emotions.
Rong Yuan smiled faintly, turned around and sat on the sofa. The people around him couldn't help but take a few steps back until they made room for a large enough space. Qiao Fei, who had been squeezed into the crowd without being noticed by them, came out, poured a cup of tea that was still warm on the table, and handed it to Rong Yuan with both hands. Rong Yuan took a sip, and under the murderous gazes of the crowd, he casually said, "Yes, I have."
It was as if an invisible bomb exploded in the center of the crowd. Countless people forgot to even breathe in an instant. They stared at Rong Yuan with their eyes almost popping out of their frames. Some were overjoyed and some were extremely sad, but no sound was made. It seemed like a funny and weird pantomime.
After a few seconds of silence, a violent uproar suddenly broke out. Some people shouted wildly, some danced, some cried and laughed, and some almost fainted. The news spread layer by layer with the sound waves, and soon there was a violent shouting and screaming outside the small building.
But no matter whether they were happy or sad, it was only short-lived. Many people immediately remembered that although the mecha had arrived at the Prison Star, it was not under their control. If they wanted to use it to get in touch with the outside world or simply leave the Prison Star, they still lacked the most important step - taking it from its owner!
Dozens of people who were close to him were the first to rush towards the young man in the middle of the hall with red eyes. Although Han Yue was also very excited, he had expected this, so he was not as overwhelmed by the news as others. Seeing this, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"
However, those people had now lost all their minds, and no one could hear his shouts.
Although Okoto and Zhihuo didn't jump in and try to snatch the mecha like they did (mainly because they didn't dare), they also lost all reaction for a moment;
Mi Dong protected Mi Ya behind him, his eyes fixed on Rong Yuan;
Bai Le and Bai Xiang opened their eyes wide, not knowing whether they were worried or looking forward to it.
Qiao Fei's face turned pale, but he glanced at Rong Yuan, who looked the same as before, lowered his head without making any evasive reaction, and even the kettle in his hand didn't tremble at all.
Rong Yuan looked at him approvingly and gently placed the cup of water in his hand on the table.
"bite--"
There was a clear and crisp sound, as if it came directly from the depths of everyone's brain. All those who rushed towards Rong Yuan at close range fell to the ground at the same time, holding their heads and opening their mouths wide, their eyes bulging, veins popping out, and their brains seemed to have been poured with a spoonful of boiling oil, and they couldn't even scream in pain. Those who were farther away were slightly better, and they could still grab their hair and wail and scream, rolling on the ground, which made those who didn't attack for various reasons shudder.
This torture lasted only a few seconds. When it ended as abruptly as it had begun, many people relaxed instantly, their bodies still trembling like spasms, their appearances extremely miserable, their faces covered with snot and tears, and waves of fishy and foul smells coming from their lower bodies.
Rong Yuan frowned slightly, and Hanyue, who seemed to be still in a dream, shuddered. He waved his hand hurriedly and gave an order. The group of men following him stepped forward with weak hands and feet, and carried those people on the ground out. After a while, they cleaned up the place. During the whole process, no one dared to look at Rong Yuan.
The sturdy man beside Han Yue woke up from the sudden change of the situation just now, and suddenly found that he was still holding Qi Gen's thin neck. He was shocked and let go of his hand quickly as if he had been electrocuted. Qi Gen fell to the ground with a buttocks. After getting up, he did not look for Rong Yuan, but stared straight at the thug of Baihua who was holding the little girl. The thug hurriedly stuffed the girl into his arms and took two steps back, as if he was eager to clear himself.
For a moment, all the people who had caught the child hurriedly let go. They wished they could become invisible so that Rong Yuan could not find them and settle the score.
Bai Le felt the hand on his back loosen, and he shook his shoulders violently to break free. The people from Baihua behind him were terrified and didn't dare to catch him again. Bai Le stood up shakily, his bloodshot eyes staring at Han Yue, making him step back uncomfortably. Then Bai Le leaned over to help Bai Xiang up, and the two limped to Rong Yuan's side.
It wasn't that Bai Le suddenly became magnanimous and didn't want to take revenge, but he understood that it was Rong Yuan, not him, who was suppressing the whole situation at this moment. If he caused trouble at this moment, it would not be good for the current situation and might also make Rong Yuan look down on him.
Soon, Rong Yuan was surrounded by a group of children and the Howling personnel. He looked at Han Yue and said, "I have a mecha, but I seem to be a little stronger than all of you combined, so what? What are you going to do?"
Hanyue was silent for a moment.
He imagined a scene where Rong Yuan, wearing a mecha, would use his nearly invincible force to force them to release the hostages, and then they would have to sit down and negotiate with each other. But he didn't expect that before he even saw the shadow of the mecha, the people here had already been defeated.
Although the bubble of dreams is beautiful, it bursts very quickly. Some people saw that there was no hope of escaping with the help of the mecha, and were worried that Rong Yuan would take revenge on them later, so they quietly slipped away, but more people still did not give up and continued to block around the small building.
Feeling countless eyes piercing his body, Han Yue's heart felt as heavy as if it was filled with lead. Thinking of the kindness and peace of the , he held a faint hope and said very respectfully: "Please believe that we have never thought of seizing your mecha. The actions just now were all those people's own decisions, not my instructions. Of course, I am also responsible for setting up this trap. If you are not satisfied, I will accept the beating or punishment."
Bai Le sneered, but Han Yue pretended not to hear. After a brief pause, he continued, "Of course, you've also seen that the Red Prison Star is like hell to anyone. No one wants to live . Even if someone has committed a heinous crime, his family and children are always innocent. Should they be damned in hell forever? I believe you are a kind and righteous person, so I beg you to save them and give the innocent people here a chance to live!"
"Oh, a way out." Rong Yuan said, "If I give you the mecha, will those... innocent people have a way out?"
A flash of joy flashed across Han Yue's eyes, and he hurriedly said more respectfully: "No... I dare not ask for your mecha. As long as you are willing to pass a message for us and let our friends come to pick us up, that will be enough. Of course, of course, we know that we are all sinners that the empire cannot accommodate, and returning to the empire will only cause trouble for you. So if we can leave the Prison Star, we will definitely go to the chaotic star field far away from the empire, and we will never enter the star field of the empire for the rest of our lives!"
Rong Yuan was silent for a moment. In Han Yue's expectant eyes, he chuckled and said, "You are an interesting person. It's a pity that our values don't match."
It was like a basin of cold water poured over his head. Hanyue's face was filled with disappointment and fear, so complicated that it was indescribable.
"Don't worry, even though you're a bad guy, I won't kill you." Rong Yuan said calmly, "You will live alone in this place, and then you will feel regret every moment of your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge, blazing white light suddenly illuminated the usually dim central city, and countless fully armed imperial soldiers poured in from the entrances of various mine tunnels in the city.
