Chapter 731 Substitute: American Poison
Lu Ye left Green Dolphin Prison soon after.
It seems Father Pucci couldn't contain himself any longer. He sent his men to take the bones from the punishment room, while he left the prison to find Miu Miu, probably to extract her memory disc in order to investigate his true identity.
"Damn it, it's a good thing I bribed the guards at the prison gate beforehand, otherwise I would have really thought that Pucci had already slipped out."
While cursing, Lu Ye got into a taxi heading to the hospital where Miao Miao was.
He wasn't too worried about the prison situation.
Jolyne has the help of several Stand users, and Pucci is now out of prison. If no one interferes, she should be able to obtain the so-called remains smoothly.
"Driver, how long will it take to get to the hospital where we are located?"
"About forty minutes," the driver said casually. "From where you got in, head west along the coastal highway, which is the road we're on now. It's not very congested, but it's faster to cross the city through the alleys on the east side of Griffin Street. It only takes about fifteen minutes to walk there."
"So fast?"
"Of course, but only if there's no traffic jam. If you're not careful, you can easily get hit and killed if you wander into alleys. Or you can just ignore the traffic lights and squeeze through the cars when there's a traffic jam."
"Please hurry up, my friend is sick and I need to get to the hospital quickly. Anyway, there aren't many cars on the road, right?"
Soon, at Lu Ye's urging, the driver took him to the hospital as quickly as possible.
Upon entering, he checked the ward where Miao Miao was located at the front desk, then took the elevator straight to the sixth floor, walked down the empty corridor to the second-to-last room.
This is Miu Miu's hospital room.
Three days ago, she was transferred here after being discharged from the intensive care unit.
Lu Ye checked the heart rate with a heart rate monitor and found that there was only one heartbeat in Miao Miao's ward. He slowly pushed the door open and entered. Miao Miao was still asleep on the bed.
Lu Ye tried to wake her up, but a nurse who came in stopped him.
"The patient has just been sedated, please do not do this."
"sedative?"
"Yes, she has a lot of bruising under her skin, it's very dangerous. She seems to be a female prison guard at Green Dolphin Prison, right? I really don't know which bastard beat such a pretty girl up like this. Could it be that one of the male guards inside had designs on her and took advantage of her? What a bunch of scoundrels!" the nurse said angrily.
After listening to the nurse's words, Lu Ye remained silent for a few seconds.
“You don’t understand,” he said.
"Excuse me?"
"You don't understand, how desperate must that male prison guard have been to hit someone!"
The nurse slowly typed out a question mark.
"Don't look at me like that. Think about it, there are so many female prisoners in the prison, why would anyone risk harassing a female prison guard? As the saying goes, flies don't land on eggs without cracks. Putting aside the facts, isn't this guy lying in bed completely innocent?"
"Are you really the patient's friend?" the nurse asked suspiciously.
The nurse was completely baffled by Lu Ye's technique. She thought to herself, "What kind of boxing is this? We in Europe and America have never seen anything like it. It's amazing! I'll learn it today, and one day I'll definitely become the king of boxing on the American internet."
“No, I’m from the prison. I’m here to visit her and also to investigate what happened.” Lu Ye showed his work ID. “But since she’s still unconscious, I won’t bother her any longer. By the way, has anyone else been here before me?”
"Let me think... it seems that only when this patient was first admitted to the hospital did the prison warden and a few prison guards come by. I don't know anything else."
"Okay, thank you."
After the nurse disappeared from sight, Lu Ye returned to the ward.
Looking at Miao Miao on the hospital bed, Lu Ye took out the panacea.
But after thinking about it, I decided to give up.
Miu Miu's abilities are used within the prison.
Although it's uncertain whether it will be effective outside, even if it is, Lu Ye wouldn't choose to join forces with her. Her Stand ability is too powerful. When people are focused, they easily break down small things into one thing. If she lied before and her relationship with the White Snake was originally good, then doing this would undoubtedly be courting death.
Lu Ye looked around and chose the balcony outside as his hiding place.
There is a height difference between the lower level of the balcony and the window. People inside the house cannot see what is happening below the balcony, but those outside can use their hearing and a heartbeat detector to sense the situation inside.
Lu Ye waited.
Although Pucci left the prison before him, it seems that he arrived at the hospital earlier and set up the ambush location.
About five minutes later, Lu Ye heard the sound of the doorknob turning inside the room.
Someone is coming.
Lu Ye took out the Silver Dancer and slowly stood up to look inside.
But he was taken aback. The newcomer was not Father Pucci, but a brown-haired man wearing a blue jacket and fluffy pink trousers. Although he didn't look very strong, his amazing arm span surprised Lu Ye. If such a person were to go into boxing, he would definitely be powerful enough.
After scanning the room, the visitor suddenly sniffed and then sneezed.
Immediately afterwards, he took out his phone and squatted down. From this angle, Lu Ye couldn't see his movements because they were blocked by the hospital bed.
However, from an angle that Lu Ye couldn't see, the crouching man's right hand had already touched the ground, and a black snake slid out from his sleeve.
After the snake emerged, it raised its head high, as if to confirm something. Then, it immediately crawled toward the windowsill, its body twisting and turning in an S-shape on the smooth tile floor.
Lu Ye immediately hid back.
snake?!
That guy was actually using a snake to search the room to see if anyone else was there?
Lu Ye loved watching Animal World. He knew that although snakes' sense of smell wasn't as sensitive as dogs', in some ways they were better at "distinguishing" scents. As a degenerated visual substitute, snakes mainly relied on their forked tongues to identify prey, because they could absorb tiny scent particles in the air and distinguish different scents.
The hospital had a strong smell of disinfectant, but it still detected the smell of Lu Ye and decided to trace it back to its source.
Snakes are not very intelligent and mostly rely on biological instincts and external stimuli to act. Even if they detect that there are people, they will not actively seek out humans who are much larger than themselves.
But this is a trained snake. From the moment it came out, it knew what it was going to do, like an instinct like feeding!
The brown-haired man walked in the direction the snake had traveled.
Lu Ye gritted his teeth, certain of one thing.
That means I was tricked by Pucci!
It's likely that Pucci never actually stepped out of the prison; he was just giving himself the illusion that he had left!
Pucci's identity has been exposed, but his own has not.
Admittedly, his presence in the shadows posed a potential and undeniable threat to Pucci, but that threat was confined to the prison. If he wanted to continue hiding his identity, he had to obediently abide by the prison rules and regulations.
However, Pucci led himself out of there.
Other than that, there is no need to do anything else.
All Pucci needs to do is hide in prison or blend in with the prison board, recovering from his injuries while maintaining contact with his associates or subordinates outside.
If someone doesn't show up for a long time, it usually means either that Pucci's identity has been exposed and he has escaped, or that he is going to find Miu Miu to extract her memory disc in order to actively search for Lu Ye.
Regardless of the reason, once Lu Ye is released from prison, Pucci's goal will have been achieved. As a priest, he has free access to most areas of the prison, while Jolyne and the others, as prisoners, have very limited freedom of movement.
In other words, as long as Luye is not present, the situation is generally in Father Pucci's favor.
The person in front of them was clearly someone sent by Father Pucci.
This guy... is definitely an enemy!
The footsteps grew closer, and Lu Ye seized the opportunity to leap out from behind the window, raise his hand and pull the trigger. The bullet instantly shot out of the barrel and hit the man in the face.
He fell straight down.
However, just as Lu Ye lowered his gun to continue firing and finish off the man, a ferocious Nile crocodile suddenly leaped out from under the brown-haired man's floor.
It appeared the moment the brown-haired man fell. It had no physical form, like a phantom, while the hard tile floor was like water. It lurked beneath the "water," with only its two eyes showing. No wonder Lu Ye didn't see it immediately.
The sudden attack caught Lu Ye off guard.
Lu Ye's right hand, which was holding the gun, was bitten by the creature, but at the same time he quickly recalled the Gray Age and unleashed a barrage of punches on the crocodile. His fists were as dense as a rainstorm, and in an instant, he drove the crocodile away, which then disappeared back into the floor.
At such close range, Lu Ye didn't even bother to bend down to pick up the gun; he planned to end the guy's life with the Mortal Blade.
However, Lu Ye realized something really damn bad.
That was his right hand, which had just been bitten, and it was completely immobile.
It felt like a piece of wood had been attached to my arm below the elbow, leaving me completely numb and unable to obey my brain.
Lu Ye tried to use his left hand, but found that he felt a pain above his left hand. The snake had somehow wrapped itself around his left arm and bit him.
Lu Ye's two arms instantly became decorative objects.
The brown-haired man who had been shot got up from the ground as if nothing had happened.
The bullets were useless?
Just as Lu Ye was wondering, several snakes fell off the man's body. The snakes had bullet holes in them, and they curled up their bodies to shield the man from the gunshot.
This guy's Stand ability is to manipulate animals...?
Lu Ye took a few steps back, trying to use the reflection from the IV drip bottle next to the hospital bed to observe the situation outside the window and take the opportunity to slip away.
This is the best ward in the hospital, but it's not big enough to accommodate a Nile crocodile running rampant here, not to mention that this guy probably has more than one venomous snake.
The space is too small, which is not conducive to combat.
The most urgent task now is to get back to Green Dolphin Prison as soon as possible.
