Chapter 320 - The Kidnapping Process
Chapter 320 The Kidnapping Process
Seeing that Xu Huan was already chattering away with Mo Zhu as soon as he woke up, Huo Xuan calmly took two steps forward to put some distance between the two of them. He raised his hand, pinched the space between his eyebrows, and changed the topic. “Tell me, who kidnapped you? Did he say anything after he was kidnapped?”
After being reminded by Huo Xuan, Xu Huan lay back down on the bed and touched his head as he seriously recalled everything that had happened during the morning’s abduction.
Thinking of the person who had kidnapped him, a cold feeling welled up in his heart for no reason, and he suddenly shivered. Images suddenly appeared in his mind. Although he had been in a daze the entire day after inhaling the knockout powder, he remembered that he had unconsciously opened his eyes when he was tied up by the robbers in the dim house.
Thinking of this, Xu Huan couldn’t help but retch twice. Then, he looked at Huo Xuan with a frown and said seriously, “Brother Huo, now that you mention it, I remember. That person is indeed a little strange.”
After a pause, Xu Huan continued to explain the incident in a grave tone. “When the doorbell rang this morning, I was quite puzzled. All the brothers who are close to me know the password to my house. The doorbell on the entrance has not sounded for a long time. I followed the sound and walked over. The person at the door said that there was a parcel.”
“Coincidentally, my aunt came to Cloud City a few days ago. I thought that she might have sent me some food and so I didn’t suspect anything and opened the door for him. I didn’t expect that I would be unconscious the moment I opened the door.”
Although Xu Huan didn’t show it on his face, he did take this matter to heart. After all, he had been training with Huo Xuan since he was young for so many years. He did not expect that he would be knocked unconscious in front of this criminal this morning before he could even react. It was embarrassing enough for anyone to spread this matter, let alone it was repeatedly mentioned by his own people.
What he could think of, Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu naturally thought of as well. Mo Zhu gently raised her hand and placed her fingertips on Xu Huan’s pulse. After giving a simple diagnosis of his body, she continued indifferently, “This medicine is very domineering. Although the effects are fierce, it won’t hurt your body. Rest well for the next two days and don’t worry about this first.”
Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Xu Huan seemed to have recalled something and a hint of fear appeared on his face. “I remember, I remember. When that person was standing at my door, his entire body was covered so tightly that I couldn’t see his face clearly. However, I woke up in a daze for a while in that old warehouse in the afternoon.”
Xu Huan stared intently at Huo Xuan in front of him and said word by word in front of everyone, “That courier doesn’t look like a normal person at all. Although his body is wrapped in the courier uniform, his exposed skin is all festering and filled with pus. His body smells rotten.”
“Especially those eyes. There’s no white in his entire eye sockets. They’re all filled with black…”
Upon hearing this, before he could finish, Mo Wu couldn’t help but quickly continue, “Young Master Xu, according to your description, can he still be considered a human? Isn’t that a zombie, or a corpse?”
Xu Huan nodded in agreement with his words. He lowered his eyes and muttered, “That’s right. Compared to a living person, he’s more like a corpse that has been dead for a long time.”
As he had inhaled a large amount of hallucinogenic medicine, although Xu Huan slowly recalled those scenes when he woke up, he still couldn’t believe what he had seen in the afternoon.
Why would such a thing that he did not know if it could be called a living creature appear at his door, and why did it take so much effort to kidnap him to the old warehouse in the north of the city? There must be something about it that he did not expect.
When Mo Zhu heard this, she touched her chin and pondered for a moment. She raised her eyes and looked at Xu Huan, who seemed to be in a daze. She lowered her voice and asked, “Do you remember what he did in that warehouse? Or did he use any method to send messages to the outside world?”
Xu Huan thought for a moment and shook his head. “No. After I was tied up and thrown into a corner, I lost consciousness and fainted. I can’t see anything clearly when I open my eyes occasionally. Apart from his face that I still have some impression of, I can’t recall anything else.”
