I Have A Demon God Simulator - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Killing At Dawn, Deadlock

Su Mu, who had transformed into a Bloodfiend skeleton, was like a ferocious ghost demanding for blood. He was unstoppable!

Even a first-rate warrior barely lasted against him, let alone these second and third-rate warriors.

For a time, the entirety of North City prison was filled with screams and cries of fear.

Some people gave up resisting and waited for death.

Some people were not as cooperative and fought to the death.

Some people fled in all directions, trying to escape.

But no matter what choice they made, these jailers would all face the same fate.

Soon, the upper level of North City prison quieted down.

All the jailers were slaughtered by Su Mu!

After killing them, he did not immediately leave. Instead, he reworked the fatal wounds on the corpses.

This way, no one could find out what kind of moves the jailers had died in, and it was as confusing as possible.

After it was still and silent again, Su Mu’s flesh and blood returned to his body, and he returned to his human form. Then, he calmly entered the basement.

Below was the place where the prisoners were locked up.

“Big brother, I’m sorry! I didn’t take good care of my sister-in-law and mu. I’m sorry, big brother!”

Before he even got close, Su Mu heard Xu Congwu’s self-loathing cries.

It seemed that he had not eaten the wine and meat.

As expected, when he walked to the door, Su Mu saw Xu Congwu hiding in a corner.

The braised meat and warm wine were still there, untouched.

Su Mu helplessly sighed and said, “Uncle Xu, Didn’t I tell you to finish eating quickly? Why haven’t you taken a single bite yet?”

Xu Congwu raised his head and looked at him with a look of disbelief.

“Little Mu, you… Weren’t you taken and executed?”

“They’re just a few jailers. They can’t do anything to me. Uncle Xu, hurry up and eat. After you’re done, I’ll take you out.”

Su Mu couldn’t explain it to Xu Congwu, so he could only give a vague answer.

When he saw that Su Mu was not dead, Xu Congwu’s guilt and self-blame ebbed away, even if only by a little.

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said anxiously,”Little Mu, my wounds run deep. Don’t worry about me.

“Hurry up and leave this place, the further the better!

“Also, the head warden of this death cell is a first-rate warrior. You must be careful when you go out.”

Xu Congwu urged Su Mu to quickly escape, but he used his hand to cut open the shackles of the cell and strode in.

After entering the cell, Su Mu brought the wine and meat to Xu Congwu and shook the medicine in his hand.

“Now, there are only prisoners left in this death cell.

“I’ve already killed all the wardens, including the head warden.

“Here, this bottle of medicine was in the warden’s room.”

Xu Congwu was dumbfounded.

“You… What do you mean? They’re all dead?”

Xu Congwu couldn’t imagine how his nephew, who used to be weak and had a mediocre martial cultivation, could pull this off.

He actually had the ability and the courage to do such a thing!

This was… Great!

Su Mu comforted Xu Congwu while applying medicine,”Uncle Xu, don’t think too much about it. Just listen to me.

“I’ll save Aunt and Xiaoxue after I’ve gotten you out of here and settled you down.

“In short, just listen to my arrangements.”

When Su Mu mentioned his wife and daughter, Xu Congwu’s eyes lit up a little.

Although he didn’t know how Su Mu did it, he could hear a strong sense of confidence from Su Mu’s words.

Perhaps… He could really do it.

Xu Congwu felt a glimmer of hope.

He didn’t think about it anymore and started to eat the meat and wine in big mouthfuls.

After all, he was a second-rate warrior, and his body was robust.

After the wine and meat went down his stomach and they dressed his wounds, Xu Congwu was able to move again.

Su Mu unlocked the heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and took out two sets of clothes he had stolen from outside.

After the uncle and nephew pair changed out of their prison uniforms, they quietly left the death prison.

When they arrived at the first floor, the strong smell of blood made Xu Congwu’s heart tremble.

This nephew of his was ruthless!

However, in this world, there was no place for weak and honest people.

This death prison was like a purgatory.

All the jailers were evil men. No one knew how many prisoners they had tortured to death.

There was no way out.

It was better to kill than be killed!

“Little Mu, I know of a sparsely populated Memorial Hall nearby. We can hide there.”

“Alright!”

After leaving the prison, Su Mu sneaked into a Memorial Hall under Xu Congwu’s suggestion.

This was the most remote place in Yanjing. Otherwise, the mortuary wouldn’t have been set up here.

No one would find them even if they remained there for a few days.

“Uncle Xu, stay here and recuperate. I’ll go and save Auntie and Xiaoxue now.”

After Su Mu settled Xu Congwu down, he prepared to leave.

Xu Congwu pulled him back and said in a trembling voice, “If you can save them, then save them. If you can’t… Then just protect yourself.

“Remember, your life is the most important!”

no

Su Mu said nothing. He just patted his hand, indicating for him to rest assured.

Then, with a leap, he disappeared into the darkness.

XXXXXX

After leaving the mortuary, Su Mu did not go to save Xu Congwu’s wife and daughter.

Instead, he returned to the prison and quietly opened all the cell doors.

Very soon, a prisoner noticed this.

This was fine.

After a few prisoners sneaked up to the upper level, they found that all the guards had been killed!

In other words, they could leave this place unimpeded!

The great news almost made these prisoners faint.

They cheered and were extremely excited.

ner

Soon, these prisoners escaped one by one, each escaping to different places.

No one noticed that a pair of eyes had been watching them in the dark!

After all the prisoners had left, Su Mu walked out from the darkness.

He cleaned up the scene and erased all traces that might expose him and Xu Congwu before he left with a peace of mind. Releasing all the prisoners was also part of Su Mu’s plan.

If he and Xu Congwu were the only ones who had escaped, they would be too obvious a target.

Su Mu first turned himself into a convincingly “dead man” before releasing all the prisoners.

This way, he could muddy the waters and help him buy as much time as possible.

It was a pity that the prisoners in this death cell were all second or third-rate martial artists, and there were no experts.

Furthermore, they were tortured to the point of being half-dead, and none of them were in any shape to fight.

If there were no outsiders to receive them, it would not take too much time to capture them.

Five days!

Su Mu had to save Xu Congwu’s wife and daughter within five days, and then find an opportunity to leave Yanjing.

Otherwise, it would be difficult!

Su Mu didn’t waste any time. After leaving the prison, he went straight to the place where Xu Congwu’s wife and daughter had been imprisoned.

Xu Congwu’s wife, Du Wanrong, and daughter, Xu Qingxue, were caught up by their matters and were thrown into a women’s prison.

After a period of time, the women would be repurposed, and may even end up as prostitutes in the camp!

This aunt of his had treated him quite well.

Su Mu couldn’t let such a tragedy happen!

However, when Su <u sneaked into the women’s prison, he did not find any traces of Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue.

After some investigation, they found that the two of them had been sent to the Imperial Academy during the day.

“Damn it!”

Su Mu felt a headache setting in.

If he was still in prison, he would only need to repeat what he had done before to save Du Wanrong and Xu Qingxue.

But it would be troublesome if they had already been sent elsewhere!

He wasn’t worried about what would happen to them. After all, official courtesans needed to be trained before they could take up the post.

It was still a long time before they could start working

However, rescuing them would be far more troublesome!

The Imperial Academy was located in the most prosperous area of the eastern part of the city, where it was densely populated and voices sang every night.

Forcefully saving the two of them would definitely cause a huge commotion.

When that happened, not to mention saving them, even Su Mu himself might die there.

Even if he managed to save her, how was he going to escape from Yanjing?

In such a situation, it was impossible to escape from Yanjing with two weak women and a wounded man.

As for redeeming himself, that was even more impossible.

After entering the Imperial Academy, it wasn’t easy to redeem one’s freedom.

Besides… Su Mu had no money.

For a time, the rescue plan had to be put on hold.
