Chapter 196: The Thirty Women Appear
【55,000 Triumph Points consumed. “Mountain-Bearing Art” has been successfully strengthened.】
【Mountain-Bearing Art: Increases strength by the force of seven dragons and seven tigers.】
In truth, Li Mu had never specifically tested how great his strength was.
He only knew that when he had possessed the Strength of One Dragon, the thirteen-thousand-jin weight of Divine Weapon Art had already been nothing more than a toy to him.
It was merely that afterward, Li Mu had continuously improved his physical strength.
His strength had always been excessive.
It seemed necessary to find a testing site and properly try it out.
Very soon, the Entries that came as a bonus from adding points also arrived.
【Listen Close: The effectiveness of defensive cultivation arts is increased to 400%.】
【External Incarnation: The number of incarnations has increased to twenty.】
Clearly, after adding 55,000 points all at once, gifting one bonus would have made the accounting impossible, so it gave him two...
Although Li Mu now possessed two SSS-Grade Talents and a whole body of Divine Abilities,
he still sighed.
When would he be able to destroy heaven and earth? Life was truly difficult...
Just then, Wang Yinhuan reached out and tugged at Li Mu.
“Mm?”
Li Mu looked at her. Wang Yinhuan took the opportunity to lean into Li Mu’s arms and whispered:
“We found it. It is in that building over there. It should be underground!”
At this moment, Xiaobai on the ground was also repeatedly looking at Li Mu, using its nose to point in a certain direction.
It was actually a large restaurant in a busy downtown area.
It had four floors above ground and looked quite large.
Li Mu nodded.
He opened his palm. In it lay a golden hair.
It was very clearly not one of his own body hairs.
It was actually similar to the one he had been holding when he first transmigrated.
This was the first Undying Hair he had condensed. Originally, he had intended to leave it for his mother.
However, the chance that Wang Yinhuan would need it was much greater than his mother’s at present.
“Take it.”
Wang Yinhuan froze.
“From one of the dogs?”
She thought Li Mu had plucked it from Xiaohua.
The corner of Li Mu’s eye twitched.
“This is my Divine Ability. When you are in danger, shout in your heart, ‘Husband, save me!’ It can summon one of my External Incarnations.”
When she heard Li Mu say “Husband, save me,” Wang Yinhuan’s face instantly flushed scarlet.
She nodded obediently, then carefully accepted the golden hair and put it away.
“Wait for me over there.”
Li Mu pointed across the street with his chin.
Then he walked toward the restaurant Xiaobai had indicated.
After arriving at a blind spot with no surveillance and no one watching, Li Mu used Gather Form and Scatter Qi, disappearing with a puff.
After using Gather Form and Scatter Qi, Li Mu’s form became shadowless and formless. It was as if he had become a wisp of consciousness with a god’s-eye view, able to move at will.
However, the True Qi consumption was indeed fast. Li Mu felt that he could maintain it for twenty minutes at most.
There were truly quite a few people in this restaurant. The spacious, luxurious hall was almost fully seated, and above it were event spaces, luxury private rooms, and so on.
Li Mu drilled downward and soon arrived on the next level.
The floor beneath the restaurant was a warehouse filled with all kinds of ingredients, consumables, kitchen utensils, and other such items.
Li Mu drilled farther down and reached the second basement level!
The moment he entered this floor, Li Mu was so startled that he almost revealed his form.
This second basement level was actually sealed off. Li Mu could not even see where the entrance was.
As for the decoration of this floor, it could only be summarized in four words.
Extravagant!
Twisted!
This level covered several thousand square meters.
At the very center was an extremely luxurious bed.
Along the surrounding walls were all kinds of red wine, white wine, delicacies, clothes, tools, and other things...
Including
people!
Scattered across the open space were three-dimensional glass cabinets.
There were thirty of them in total.
Inside every glass cabinet was a young and beautiful woman.
Their clothes barely covered their bodies.
Some were sleeping, some were trembling, and some were weeping...
And the most horrifying thing was that almost none of them had a single patch of intact skin!
Bite marks!
Countless bite marks!
Starting from their necks, their chests, backs, limbs, waists, and hips were covered in bite marks that made one’s scalp go numb.
Every person’s eyes held deep despair and confusion.
There was no need to ask. These were the missing female university students.
As for who had imprisoned them here, other than that great Commissioner of the Law Enforcement Bureau, there was probably no one else on the surface of Linyuan City with such power!
One had to know that above this place was a restaurant packed with customers every day!
Li Mu quickly circled the surrounding area, searching for an exit.
There was no space beneath this floor, but all around the ceiling were extremely thick, high-end layers of soundproofing cotton.
Even if a massive explosion occurred down here, the sound probably would not reach the floor above.
However, more than a dozen surveillance cameras were visible around the area.
If he showed himself now, he would definitely alert the enemy.
Who knew whether there were mechanisms inside those glass cabinets that could kill the girls instantly?
Li Mu decided to ask one of the girls first.
He soon found a girl sitting with both arms wrapped around her legs. Her expression was calm, and her eyes shone with blazing hatred.
This girl looked comparatively composed. She probably would not be frightened into losing control.
Li Mu first entered her glass cabinet, then changed from Gather Form and Scatter Qi into a Flying Mosquito.
He landed on the hair beside her ear.
In that instant, the girl’s body abruptly tensed!
She was also a Sixth Grade Martial Artist!
The glass cabinet had been completely clean just now, yet a mosquito had suddenly flown beside her ear. Moreover, she kept feeling as though some terrifying creature was right behind her.
Sure enough, a man’s voice sounded beside her ear.
“If you do not want to die, do not move! I am here to save you!”
A flash of divine light instantly flickered in the girl’s eyes, but her face became even calmer.
“Does this glass cabinet have any device that can suddenly kill you? If it does, blink once. If it does not, blink twice in a row.”
The girl quickly blinked twice.
“Good. Is the person imprisoning all of you the Commissioner of the Law Enforcement Bureau? If yes, blink once. If not, blink twice.”
The girl blinked once.
“Point out the direction of the entrance to this secret room with your toes.”
The girl moved her feet slightly and pointed her toes in one direction.
“Good. Do not move. I will be back soon!”
After Li Mu finished speaking, he flew out.
He had to control the Commissioner of the Law Enforcement Bureau first. If he revealed himself to save people and the other side escaped directly, that would be a pity.
Li Mu used Gather Form and Scatter Qi again and flew back out of the place.
After appearing in a corner by the street, he did not take out his phone. Instead, he used the military line on his Technological Watch to request a communication connection with An Xing.
“Deputy Commander-in-Chief An, please personally make a trip to the Law Enforcement Bureau under the pretext of a visit. As long as you see the Commissioner of the Law Enforcement Bureau, talk to him, stay by his side, and monitor him!”
“Huh? What is going on?”
An Xing asked while walking outside.
Li Mu briefly told him about the situation.
An Xing naturally knew what to do.
Afterward, Li Mu called Lu Chenfeng and told him to bring people over immediately. He had to take control of everyone in this restaurant as well.
About thirty minutes later, An Xing sent a brief message through the watch: I am in front of him.
Lu Chenfeng had also arrived with a large group of plainclothes officers, who entered the restaurant one after another.
Li Mu directly used Gather Form and Scatter Qi, returning to the second basement level of the restaurant as quickly as possible.
This time, however, Li Mu entered through the entrance the girl had pointed out.
The instant he entered, Li Mu revealed his form!
All of the girls were stunned with fright!
This man had appeared out of thin air, and he was not the demon who usually came here.
In that instant, they even forgot, or perhaps no longer cared, that their bodies were barely clothed.
“Everyone, crouch down!”
Li Mu wasted no more words and shouted.
Then the Ghostface Cudgel flew out, instantly splitting into twenty Divine Weapons that swept toward the glass cabinets enclosing the girls!
No matter how foolish the girls were, they knew someone had come to save them.
In an instant, they all crouched down, hugged their heads, and circulated their body-protecting cultivation arts.
Crack! Crack!
These special-material glass cabinets, which the girls had tried countless times to damage without leaving even the slightest mark, were like sugar shards swept by cudgels before the Divine Weapons, shattering and flying apart!
In the blink of an eye, all thirty glass cabinets were destroyed.
The girls jumped lightly and all escaped from the cages that had imprisoned them.
The instant the glass cabinets were destroyed, all the surveillance cameras overhead turned toward Li Mu almost simultaneously.
However, before they could fully turn, they were swept apart and shattered by the flying Divine Weapons.
Li Mu withdrew his Divine Weapon Art.
All of the girls stood barefoot on the floor covered in shattered glass, looking at Li Mu with shock in their eyes.
It seemed they could not believe they had been rescued just like that.
Only they themselves knew what kind of cruel torture they had experienced here, and what kind of despair and struggle they had endured.
Every one of them had had their faith extinguished countless times.
At this moment, even their minds went somewhat blank. They did not dare believe this was truly happening.
“What are you standing there for? Put on clothes! Follow me out! You are free.”
It was only when Li Mu said these words
that the girls’ first reaction was not to put on clothes.
Instead, one girl suddenly burst into loud sobs.
Immediately afterward, one girl after another either crouched on the ground or raised her face with her eyes closed. Tears poured out like spring water, flowing across their pitted, pale skin...
Just then, the door at the entrance was smashed open with a boom.
Two Martial Artists in restaurant logistics staff uniforms saw the scene before them and were instantly enraged.
Without another word, they charged toward Li Mu. Each of them actually had Yellow Rank Eighth Grade cultivation!
They were very clearly the gatekeepers arranged by the Commissioner of the Law Enforcement Bureau.
Li Mu moved.
This was the first time he had attacked after entering the Profound Rank, and he did so in fury.
The moment his True Qi stirred, Profound Might shook the air!
Only now did the two men sense that Li Mu had Profound Rank cultivation, but it was already too late to run!
Li Mu’s speed reached an extreme as he charged forward.
He was too lazy to even use a cultivation art. He swept his foot into one man’s waist and folded him on the spot, sending him flying like a cannonball.
He crashed into the distant wall. His bones were directly shattered, and he collapsed like a pile of mangled flesh.
The other man was grabbed by the head by Li Mu and slammed directly into the wall!
Bang!
Ten thousand peach blossoms bloomed!
Li Mu shook the filth from his left hand, while his right hand took out his phone and dialed Lu Chenfeng.
“Arrest them! Do not let a single restaurant employee escape!”
“If any dare resist, kill them!”
