Huayu: Character templates start with Murong Fu

"Letting you go for now is out of the question, but if you behave well, I might spare your life!"

After listening for a long time, Liu Chun walked up from behind Hai Xuan. In the first rays of the morning sun, he seemed to be glowing.

"Since all of this is Si Huajin's doing, do you know how to resolve the issue of Liu Yifei being controlled?"

He straightened up, looking completely at ease, and turned his back to Hai Xuan: "Given what we already knew, you most likely know the inside story of this matter. Even if you don't know how to implement it, it doesn't matter; you should at least have some understanding of how to break free from this control, right?"

He actually figured it out?

Hai Xuan quickly stopped thinking in that direction and explained with an awkward smile, "This was a last-minute reinforcement method I used. As for what Liu Yifei went through before that, I really don't know. Liu Chun, you don't actually think I played a big role, do you?"

Liu Chun turned to look at him, then said to Pang Wenke, "Lock him in the doghouse and let him think it over. If he can't come up with anything, he doesn't need to come out."

"Hey, Liu Chun, I've already told you everything I know, how can you still treat me like this?"

Pang Wenke ignored his nonsense and pulled him toward a room next door.

When the door was opened, a dark and sunless steel room appeared before them. There was nothing inside, and the four walls were so smooth and delicate that it seemed as if one could fall over if one stood up.

What's even worse is that there's nothing inside except three chairs and a table; there isn't even a window.

If this place were made entirely of solid steel, a person would definitely go crazy if they stayed inside for a long time.

Even after Liu Chun went to such lengths, the stubborn Hai Xuan still showed no intention of telling the truth. Was he truly unafraid, or...?

After closing the heavy door, Pang Wenke clapped his hands and left. Just a few seconds later, Hai Xuan's heartfelt screams came from inside, particularly heart-wrenching.

"Hai Xuan isn't doing well either. She's already dying so quickly. Brother Liu, how long are we going to keep her locked up?"

"No rush. Let's resolve Liu Yifei's troubles first before considering whether to release him. I don't believe someone who's always following Si Huajin around doesn't know anything." Liu Chun seemed to know Hai Xuan very well. "He's probably still trying to keep it from us. I want to see how long he can keep it up."

The special room was provided by the ancient artifacts organization behind Pang Wenke. They decided to have it tested by Liu Chun first, and then put it into use after confirming that there were no problems.

In this way, if we can capture those ancient people alive in the future, we can keep them here and control them, preventing them from causing greater harm to modern society.

Pang Wenke sighed, "I thought we could catch those 'ancient people' or monsters mutated by the power of 'ancient artifacts' as soon as possible for observation, but I didn't expect it to be Hai Xuan, a living person. I don't think he can last much longer."

"Perhaps."

The two quickly sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV to watch something interesting. As long as it wasn't mealtime, they didn't need to worry about what Haixuan was doing inside.

……

The room, made of steel, was pitch black. Hai Xuan had been trying to use the dim light to examine her surroundings, but there wasn't a single light in sight, and it was completely dark all around, so she couldn't see anything.

It's unbelievable that such a terrifying room could be found in an ordinary house. Based on what I saw when I entered, the room is made entirely of steel, and the only way to leave is to open the door properly and walk out.

Hai Xuan had just received a severe warning from Young Master Si Huajin. If he were to reveal the method to lift the control to Liu Chun and the others again, thus ruining the young master's plan, he would also suffer a terrible fate.

What should we do next?

After an unknown amount of time, Hai Xuan untied the ropes binding her hands, stood up, and rummaged around the steel room.

He walked around the table and chairs to the wall, and as soon as his palm touched it, a chilling aura instantly filled his body.

But he didn't dare move his hand away at that moment, preparing to feel along the wall to try and turn on the light in the room, which would be much better than being completely in darkness.

"Clatter!"

For Haixuan herself, she is lucky.

With almost no effort, the lights in the entire room came on, bringing a barely perceptible warmth.

When sunlight fills the entire room, the fear brought by the darkness disappears, and the person in the room feels comforted and is in a much better state than before.

Inside this dark gray room, even the doorway was tightly sealed, not even a fly could get in. Hai Xuan could only rely on the direction she came in from to find the exit.

After some trial and error, he quickly determined the area around the main entrance under the dim light. Now he just needed to figure out how to get out of there.

In fact, everything in the room was completely visible; there wasn't a single unnecessary item, not even a nail.

Hai Xuan squatted on the ground, clutching his hair. Even if he got angry and smashed all the tables and chairs, he might not be able to get out of here.

"I'm just an ordinary person! There's no need to treat me like this!"

Then, as if he had just thought of something, Hai Xuan quickly materialized a huge centipede monster. Last night, while Liu Chun and the others were preoccupied, the centipede monster had secretly run back into his body.

"Attack that side immediately! That's the exit! Hurry!"

After locking onto the exit location, Hai Xuan retreated several steps to hide behind it. Now it was up to the monster to decide what to do.

Upon hearing this, the centipede monster quickly prepared itself, retreated to the wall behind it, roared, and began to charge forward, intending to use its massive body to break through the wall at the entrance.

Bang!

A loud crash followed, and when Hai Xuan looked towards the door again, it was smashed open as expected, but the centipede monster's body vanished into the air in front of her.

"Yes, I succeeded."

Just as Hai Xuan was about to rush out, Liu Chun and Pang Wenke had been waiting at the door for a long time, watching him run out.

Without a doubt, Hai Xuan was arrested on the spot.

"Wow, that's impressive, buddy. How did you manage to punch through such a thick tempered glass door?"

"I'm not going to waste time with you. Quickly tell me how to break free from Liu Yifei's control, or I can do something to you before the monster inside you fully recovers..."

After a brief explanation, Hai Xuan quickly confessed everything and stated that he would no longer run away and would cooperate fully with Liu Chun and the others' actions.

In his final moments, he revealed how to release Liu Yifei from his control, after which he was locked back in a new steel room, guarded by many people outside to prevent his escape.

An excited Pang Wenke immediately said, "Brother Liu, let's hurry up and find Liu Yifei. Let's rescue her first. We still need to go to the villages and towns in the suburbs to check on the children there."

At this moment, Liu Chun looked solemn and explained to Pang Wenke, "The method Hai Xuan provided is actually fake. I've experienced the real one before, and he himself is dishonest."

"I'll go in and teach him a lesson, and see if he'll behave himself afterwards."

Seeing that Pang Wenke was about to go in and beat him up, Liu Chun quickly stopped him: "Hey~, it's not entirely fake, it's just that some parts need to be changed."

"Alright, today I'll go with you to the countryside to see how those children are doing. If we can find a way to stop this kind of thing, then the troubles we're facing here will be greatly reduced."

"Is this... really okay?" Pang Wenke was somewhat unsure. If Liu Chun deduced the correct answer on his own, what if...?

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
