Sky Ruler
29. Man in a giant glass tube.
After they all agreed, Liiu Yaoshan finally decided to start an investigation on the crimes of the Mayor.
Liiu Yaoshan was suspicious, if the Mayor was not just an ordinary human.
From the very beginning of entering the city, Liiu Yaoshan had already smelled an extremely strong scent of a demon.
However, Liiu Yaoshan had not been able to ascertain the truth before looking directly at it with his own eyes.
"Uncle Ming, how can I approach the Mayor's building?" ask Liiu Yaoshan.
He could actually do it with just one blink of an eye. But Liiu Yaoshan, did not want to show his strength before Old Man Ming. It would be very dangerous for Liiu Yaoshan to do so now.
He did not know yet, Old Man Ming's true intentions. He had just gotten to know the middle-aged man, so he should still feel wary of him. After all, ever since they met. Liiu Yaoshan felt that the middle-aged man was hiding something from him. This was what Liiu Yaoshan wanted to investigate first.
It wasn't difficult for Liiu Yaoshan to take down the man if he had evil intentions for her and Yihua.
But for Liiu Yaoshan, pretending not to know was enough now.
And he also just felt suspicious, and his suspicions, not necessarily true.
"What a coincidence, I know a shortcut to get there!" old Master Ming replied which made Liiu Yaoshan and Yihua feel astonished.
"How do you know, Uncle? I think, with the current situation, the Mayor's building will definitely be guarded very tightly." said Yihua who began to be suspicious of Old Man Ming's movements.
"I'm a native here, Miss! It is very natural, if I can figure out the way." Old Man Ming replied casually.
"Of course, no need to argue. Most importantly tonight, we should be able to infiltrate the Mayor's building" said Liiu Yaoshan mediating Yihua and Old Man Ming's conversation that led to dissent.
Old Man Ming instantly fell silent, as did Yihua who said nothing more after Liiu Yaoshan told them to stop arguing.
In the evening, as planned, Old Man Ming escorted Liiu Yaoshan into the Mayor's building.
"Ruler! This ...," Yihua was stunned as soon as she entered the building area.
Inside there, Yihua saw a very terrible thing. Many large tubes are made of glass, so they can clearly see the contents in the tube.
"I guessed before!" murmured Liiu Yaoshan.
Old Man Ming's eyes glazed over as soon as he saw the state of the room in the Mayor's building.
He did not expect, if this incident would happen in the city where he grew up.
"What's wrong with you, Uncle? Do you know the girl in this tube?" liiu Yaoshan asked as he saw Old Man Ming looking at one of the glass tubes with a dejected look.
"He's my daughter! I've been looking everywhere for a long time, apparently, he's in this building. She's dead, my daughter's dead, young man!"
Old Man Ming could no longer contain his sadness when he saw the figure of the Princess he was looking for, inside the tube with a face that began to turn pale.
Liiu Yaoshan patted Old Man Ming on the shoulder, then asked him to stop crying.
It was not that Liiu Yaoshan did not sympathize with the incident that befell Old Master Ming. But because at this moment, Liiu Yaoshan sensed that there was still an aura of life in the body of the girl, the middle-aged man's daughter.
"Your daughter is not dead yet, I can still smell the scent of life from her body" said Liiu Yaoshan who made Old Man Ming become angry.
"Don't try to cheer me up, young man! It's free, my daughter won't be able to come back to me!" old Man Ming half shouted.
"Uncle, relax! The ruler can't lie to you!" Yihua tried to calm the state of Old Man Ming who was currently hysterical because he saw his daughter treated like that.
Liiu Yaoshan did not say anything more, he then jumped onto the glass tube, and opened the cover to remove the body of Old Master Ming.
_Wusshhh!_
_Wusshhh!_
From Liiu Yaoshan's finger came a golden yellow light that instantly absorbed into the girl's body through her forehead.
Uhuk! Uhuk!
The girl started to wake up and coughed slowly.
"My daughter, my daughter is alive!" Old Man Ming cried out in excitement as he saw his daughter breathing again after being helped by Liiu Yaoshan.
Yihua shed tears as soon as she saw the happiness that radiated in Old Man Ming's eyes.
The doubt, as well as the suspicion that Yihua felt towards Old Man Ming, had now disappeared.
The same thing was felt by Liiu Yaoshan. He was saddened by what he saw now. And regarding his suspicions to Old Man Ming, it turned out that it was not proven at all.
Old Man Ming, back and forth into the Mayor's building, only wanted to find the whereabouts of the Princess only wayangnya. That's all!
"Dad, where am I?" old Master Ming said in a weak voice.
"We're still inside the Mayor's building, son!" old Man Ming replied with a smile that adorned his lips.
The girl's face turned frantic, as the father mentioned the name of the Mayor before him.
"Dad, I'm scared! I want to go home! Please get me out of here, Dad!" said the hysterical girl while shaking Old Man Ming's hand.
"Young man, how is this? Poor my daughter, she was very frightened." Old Man Ming asked Liiu Yaoshan who was currently staring at the two of them.
"Hey, let's check! It seems, I heard there was someone inside!"
There was the sound of the guards shouting from outside the building, it seemed like they only found out, if there were people following to the Mayor's building.
The sounds of footsteps were numerous, moving towards where Liiu Yaoshan and the others were right now.
"Ruler, we've been caught." whispered Yihua with panic clearly visible on her face.
"There will be nothing, you guys calm down." Liiu Yaoshan replied as his eyes continued to move watching the place around him.
"You guys, stay in this circle. And don't go anywhere, wait for me to come back!" liiu Yaoshan said as his hand made a circle-like gesture.
After giving the instructions, Liiu Yaoshan then slipped towards the room which held more giant tubes.
Liiu Yaoshan intended to destroy the giant tubes by himself, so that the Mayor could no longer use them.
"You guys, get in the main room. I just saw, someone's going in there!" shouted a guard who ran ahead.
Inside the circle, Yihua, Old Man Ming, and his Daughter, became trembling in fear. They are afraid of being caught by people assigned by the Mayor to guard the building area.
"Dad, let's go. I don't want them to put me in a glass jar anymore. Daddy's sick, sick." said Old Man Ming's daughter while pulling his Father's hand.
"There!" people shouted from a distance.
Yihua felt panicked, yet she remained confident in Liiu Yaoshan's words and strength. If he says no, then they can't do it.
"Miss, I beg you to shut up. If you keep talking, then the three of us will be arrested soon."
