Chapter 319

Guan Zhong slowly raised the muzzle, his arm trembling slightly as he aimed at Lou Rui's back, and just as his index finger was about to pull the trigger, a strong arm steadied him from behind, helping him lift the muzzle an inch higher.

A calm and gentle voice exhaled lightly beside his ear:

"The time I rewarded you must not be disturbed by others; whoever disturbs you, you shoot them, don't aim at the wrong person, don't let your hand shake, come, I'll teach you..."

"Hold your breath, relax your body and mind, don't think so much, you just need to stare tightly at the sight, and you'll discover that observing the world before you through the sight, everyone will transform back into understanding smiling faces."

"But, the premise is, when firing, do not hesitate!!!"

Bang—

The instant the gunshot tore through the air, Lou Rui's movements were like a remote control hitting the pause button.

His crawling posture froze at that moment, the adrenaline in his body seemed to recede like a tide, all his muscles and bones turning into a puddle of soft mud, losing all strength.

Even his sphincter and corpus cavernosum completely relaxed, a wave of scorching hot and turbid liquid spread from beneath him, staining the surrounding ground yellow, mixing with blood into a bizarre color.

Because he couldn't see his own back, Lou Rui couldn't know for certain if he'd really been shot, but he felt he had been shot, because his entire back seemed to hurt everywhere.

Especially his heart pounding wildly, as if the next second a bloody mangled hole would burst out from his back.

Thud!

The prison guard in front of him went weak at the knees and slammed heavily onto the ground. Fresh blood gushed from his knee like a spring.

The next second, he let out a miserable scream, pitched forward and fell, his head slamming heavily into Lou Rui's back of head.

Thud—

A dull collision sound, Lou Rui's vision went black, he forcefully twisted his neck, looking at the side face fallen before him, stars swimming in his eyes.

"Huh, he got shot? Not me, the bullet went off target again?"

Lou Rui blinked, his brain that had crashed from shock seemed to finally piece together an unbelievable truth.

However, his whole body was limp and powerless, no strength to crawl further, he could only slowly reach out to grab the person before him, hot tears welling in his eyes as he let out a hoarse and weak voice:

"Save... save me..."

The fallen prison guard was precisely the one who had just mocked Guan Zhong for not daring to shoot.

At this moment, he was dazed from the fall, tears and pain intertwining in his eyes, he opened his mouth wide, eyes staring huge, dead staring at Lou Rui, mouth opening and closing, a thousand words in his heart ultimately converging into a single word:

"Fuck!"

He didn't understand didn't understand why the bullet would ghostly go off target, landing on his own body.

There was clearly a full meter of distance between him and Lou Rui, no matter how bad Guan Zhong's marksmanship, it couldn't be off by this much, right.

Wait, just now a person suddenly appeared behind Guan Zhong, lifted his muzzle, that person was...

Tap—tap—tap—

The sound of leather shoes contacting the ground echoed in the air, gradually approaching. The footsteps were neither heavy nor hurried, maintaining a stable frequency, yet each step seemed to land on the prison guard's heart, making him feel a bone-piercing chill creeping up from the ground.

He propped himself on the ground, laboriously half-raised his body, head tilted slightly back, gaze heavy as he looked toward the gradually approaching figure.

The figure was about 1.8 meters tall, leather shoes wiped spotless, a tailored guard uniform setting off his straight posture, every button on the uniform fastened neatly, collar white as snow.

Above the collar was a three-dimensional face, features gentle, eyes calm and deep, only the handgun he was lightly toying with in his hand added seven parts of bone-chilling dread to that calm and gentleness.

Not Guan Zhong, but... Feng Mu!!!

The prison guard's pupils violently contracted, his voice raised a few degrees, yet unable to hide the bluster masking inner fear:

"Feng Mu, you actually dare..."

Feng Mu walked up to him, looking down from above, a trace of eerie red flashing in his pupils, opening his mouth to cut off the other's accusation, indisputably:

"I just saw you step your left foot toward Lou Rui."

The prison guard was instantly stunned, his gaze frozen on Feng Mu's face, his mind blank for a split second.

He couldn't understand the meaning behind Feng Mu's words, but the intense pain in his left foot made him clearly recall that it was his left knee that had been shot.

So, the bullet didn't go off target?

But... it was deliberately shot to shatter his own knee, just because he stepped out his left foot?

Anger instantly rushed to his skull, cheeks flushing crimson, almost dripping blood:

"I didn't, I didn't move at all just now, Feng Mu, this is slander!!!"

Ma Xuan stood not far behind the prison guard, expression unchanged as he adjusted his glasses, cursing inwardly:

"Truly an idiot, is there a need to argue over whether he stepped out his left foot at this time? Isn't the point that he shot you?"

But, Ma Xuan didn't speak up for his subordinate at the first moment; he dared to block Guan Zhong at the first moment, but that didn't mean he dared use the same method to stop Feng Mu.

The arrogant and domineering behavior Feng Mu displayed before everyone's eyes at this moment made Ma Xuan a bit apprehensive.

Since Feng Mu entered Second Prison, Ma Xuan had been paying attention to Feng Mu for various reasons; honestly, he couldn't quite see through this new prison guard.

But he did have a general assessment of Feng Mu, these assessments included hypocrisy, attention to appearance, politeness, charisma, ambitious, dangerous, etc.

In short, these assessments did not include impulsive, brainless, arrogant and domineering.

"Feng Mu's behavior is somewhat abnormal, what backing did the Prison Warden give him, can't he see the Prison Warden's situation is very bad right now?"

Ma Xuan is a smart person, a smart person's first reaction to things is like his, observe first, not rush to counterattack.

If it were Chang Wei, he would definitely have rushed out to fight Feng Mu by now, so Chang Wei died early, yet Ma Xuan is still alive.

When Feng Mu spoke to the prison guard, he also glanced at Ma Xuan, seeing the latter unmoved, a hard-to-detect regret appeared on his face, which made Ma Xuan's heart tighten again.

Feng Mu glanced indifferently at Ma Xuan, then swept his gaze around the surrounding prison guards, the muzzle politely not pointing at anyone, corners of his mouth revealing a faint smile as he said:

"I saw him just now extend his left foot toward Lou Rui, I think everyone should be like me, all saw it very clearly, right?"

The surrounding prison guards, whether onlookers or those brought by Ma Xuan, all had slight changes in expression, but in a very eerie and tacit understanding, they looked at each other, none speaking to refute Feng Mu.

Feng Mu didn't seem surprised by this silence, he lowered his head to re-examine the shot prison guard, tone deep:

"Look, everyone's eyes are sharp, they all tacitly accepted my words."
