Chapter 313: Shadows in the Dark (2/2)

She really didn't mind waiting for Ye Shen to one day surrender his energy crystal because she didn't really believe in this talk about a doomsday. Also, even if it was true, it was not going to happen anytime soon!

…

Little did Xinghe know, right after she left, a few mysterious shadows snuck into the jail that kept Ye Shen.

They used a secret pathway that eventually led them to Ye Shen. A weak Ye Shen was lying in his cot, preparing to retire for the night when he heard the steel door to his cell being opened. It was followed by a series of heavy footsteps.

He opened his eyes in alarm but the overall darkness and the fatigue from the earlier interrogation made it so that he could make see a few vague shadows standing beside his bed.

”Who are you people?” Ye Shen frowned and stared at them with trepidation.

”Mr. Ye, I heard you've been searching for a particular thing.” A man asked in a low voice. There was no emotion in his words, other than the heavy hint of threat.

Ye Shen had a hard time understanding him and the man continued, ”You must have that thing on you as well, where it is?”

”Who the hell are you people?” Ye Shen sat up hurriedly, his whole body tensed. He could smell the danger in the air.

”Our identity is not important,” The man answered, ”You only need to tell us, where is the thing?”

”What thing?”

”Look like you are unwilling to cooperate.” The moment the man finished the sentence, Ye Shen felt a cloth like substance strangling his neck from behind!

Ye Shen widened his eyes in shock and started to struggle, but he was too weak.

The chokehold on his throat tightened and the air was getting thin. Ye Shen's face went from red to purple.
