Chapter 1 Seeing Wu Yi's newly repaired body disintegrate in mid-air, blood and tears streamed from the two scarlet eyes of the cloth doll. It pounced towards Wu, whose back was turned. Enhanced by the warden's eyeball, the doll's movements were unusually strange. Its form disappeared in mid-air, and the next second it suddenly appeared behind Wu, its two slender arms stabbing towards Wu's head at extremely tricky angles.

But the truth proved that all this was useless. With a crisp "啪" sound, the cloth doll took a heavy blow to its right cheek from a scabbard, spinning and flying backwards until it finally crashed into an entire wall of shelves storing potions.

This little interlude didn't affect anything at all. Jiangcheng was the first to squeeze through the hole in the wall that Wu had broken open. After confirming there were no problems, it was Fatty's turn, carrying Tang Qisheng on his back, followed by Zhu Jie. Wu stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Tang Qisheng clung tightly to Fatty's neck, crying his heart out. "Thank you, you... you finally made it. If you had been a few minutes later, my wife and I would have..."

Fatty was annoyed by the noise, but when he thought about Tang Qisheng's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear to say anything harsh. "Alright, alright, you're not dead, are you? Just bear with it a little longer. Once we get out of here and go back, you'll be restored."

The situation in the underground world was getting worse and worse. The corridor became increasingly distorted in the repeated tremors, with blood vessel fascia constantly falling off. From the distance came miserable screams, the cries of those children who had their eyes and brains removed. As the underground world gradually collapsed, these children also reached the end of their lives.

"Heh, heh, you... you think you can leave here like this?" A mocking voice came from behind. "This world belongs to the warden. Although the warden has been defeated, at least for now, this place still follows the rules set by the warden. Those without eyes can never leave!"

"Hahaha, no matter how strong you are, it's useless. Tang Qisheng must stay!" Wu Yi, slumped in the corner of the wall, had half of his face shattered. His entire body was tattered, with only half of his chin remaining, opening and closing to make irritating sounds.

Tang Qisheng, who had just felt the hope of life, had his heart plummet once again. Having experienced so much just now, he knew that what Wu Yi said was true.

Wu Yi's crazy mockery also made Wu stop. One leg that had already stepped out was retracted. Wu turned around, staring thoughtfully at the face of the cloth doll protecting Wu Yi. The next second, the cloth doll and Wu Yi shivered simultaneously.

A moment later, Wu turned half his face and said to the others behind the hole in the wall, "Wait for me."

One minute later.

"Left!"

"Right! Go right!"

At this moment, Tang Qisheng, lying on Fatty's back, shouted excitedly, pointing out the correct route to leave. After all, the entire underground world was collapsing in distortion.

And at this moment, a scarlet eyeball was embedded in Tang Qisheng's eye socket, with bloodshot veins crawling around the eyeball, as if it had been sewn onto Tang Qisheng's face.

This was the warden's eyeball. With this eyeball, Tang Qisheng was one step closer to becoming the warden. Moreover, this eyeball also gave him the ability to see through all the disguises in this hospital.

Of course, the most important thing was that he could use this eyeball to leave this collapsing underground world.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Tang Qisheng turned his head and looked at Wu at the end of the line, his heart filled with gratitude, his mood complicated for a moment. "Tha... Thank you, Wu..."

He suddenly didn't know what to say, Jiangcheng and Wang Fugui called Wu brother, but it was obviously inappropriate for him to call him that.

Fortunately, Zhu Jie spoke up to ease the embarrassment. "Wu Senior, thank you very much this time. We would have been in danger without you!"

Wu didn't even look at them, his face devoid of any expression, but he still nodded slightly.

Hearing the other party's gratitude, Fatty also felt a sense of pride. "Oh, it's just a small matter. But speaking of which, I said Wu brother, you are too kind. You actually left that little bastard's father an eye. If it were me... Hmph!"

"Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life." Jiangcheng said, trying to cover up for Wu.

Hearing this, Zhu Jie, who had personally witnessed Wu's actions, had an obvious unnatural look on her face. Others didn't see it, but she saw it very clearly. When Wu was digging out the eyeballs with a knife, he accidentally punctured the first eyeball. It wasn't until the second time that he succeeded with experience. When he was leaving, he probably thought that Wu Yi's humming and groaning was an eyesore, so he casually stomped on his head.

But Fatty obviously didn't realize the problem and was still muttering in a low voice, "It's a pity. With one of the warden's eyes, he can see the road clearly. If he had two, he might be able to find the exit and escape directly."

"It's useless. His body can't bear it at all. One is already the limit." Wu's voice floated from behind.

"Oh, oh, so that's how it is." Fatty suddenly understood.

Zhu Jie didn't dare to say a word in the middle. Judging from Wu's excitement when he dug out the eyeballs with a knife, he probably didn't think so much at the time.

"Hmm?"

Seeing that they were about to rush to the elevator door, Tang Qisheng seemed to suddenly realize something, which also made everyone stop.

"Don't stop! We can talk about anything outside!" Jiangcheng urged with a frown.

But the next second, Tang Qisheng's next words stunned everyone. "I... I seem to feel Li Bai, Yao, Shun, and Yu!"

Jiangcheng and Fatty's expressions changed at the same time. "What did you say?!"

"Where are they?" Fatty almost threw Tang Qisheng off his back and was about to go find someone.

But Jiangcheng calmed down faster. He keenly realized that the wording Tang Qisheng used was "feel," not "see." This should be related to the ability of that eye.

He looked at Wu. Wu's reaction told him that he hadn't found anything.

Faced with Fatty's questioning, Tang Qisheng was also a little unclear for a while. He sometimes said it was an illusion, sometimes said the people were in a secret room, and finally said that Li Bai, Yao, Shun, and Yu were in Jiangcheng's mind.

Fatty was anxious. "What a mess!"

But slowly, Jiangcheng understood a little. A bold guess gradually took shape in his mind. He suspected that all of this was also related to the warden's experiment. They had once been trapped in a dream created by the warden's brain. Could Li Bai, Yao, Shun, and Yu be trapped in another dream, and this dream was using his own brain as a carrier?

This guess sounded bizarre at first, but thinking about it carefully, it was not without basis. According to the decryption logic of the three worlds being connected, clues to the world of Yao, Shun, Yu, and Li Bai can be found in his own world, and clues to the world of Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie can be found in the world of Yao, Shun, Yu, and Li Bai. Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng can find clues in this hospital to rescue himself and Fatty. This is a logical closed loop, and none is indispensable.

Suddenly, Jiangcheng thought of the vat that trapped them. The so-called Lingxiao Daoren once tricked them into saying that if they wanted to escape, they had to break the purple-gold alms bowl representing the vat.
