Chapter 334

Heaven and earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs!

The universe is vast; it regards living beings as grass and mustard!

Heaven and earth give birth to the bizarre; if not for the bizarre, then for food!

The world is full of bizarre changes; those who follow them survive, those who resist them perish!

I am unwilling to be a straw dog, unwilling to be bait; thus I created this martial art — the Bizarre Demon Technique!

Drawing on the transformations of bizarre forms, fusing the essence of demonic arts, adopting the laws of evil, with a human body, forging demonic might!

Heaven is bizarre!

Earth is bizarre!

Even gods may be bizarre or specters!

Why should humans not transform into the bizarre, to walk the path of bizarre forms?

Only by becoming the bizarre can one walk in this inconstant world!

The first realm of the Bizarre Demon Technique — Planting the Bizarre!

The realm of Planting the Bizarre lies in grafting the arts of heaven and earth, exploring...

Using bone as field, intent as seed, sowing the seeds of the bizarre...

Li Guishe sat quietly cross-legged on the hard wooden bed, his eyes alternating between opening and closing.

His left eye was like an unfathomable heart-abyss, his right eye like a cold, pale-white bone; black and white intertwined, as if some inhuman bizarreness was gestating within.

With each cold, drawn-out breath, the Qi and Blood in Li Guishe's body surged incessantly like a tide, spreading outward from his body's center, coiling layer upon layer of visible black qi around him.

Dark, evil, gloomy, like some kind of tentacle about to grow from the void.

Beneath his skin, flesh and blood seemed to have been granted life, surging incessantly like lumps of flesh, slowly shifting shapes.

His originally thin and hunched body now seemed like water-injected pork, continuously swelling, finally turning into a deformed meat ball.

The meat ball's surface was covered in protrusions and depressions, looking just like a piece of fertilized, tilled land, waiting emptily for seeds to be sown.

There was a twisted and terrifying aesthetic, infecting the air in the room with a Cthulhu-like bizarre flavor, making it viscous and oppressive, with faint, inhuman whispers flickering in and out of existence in the air.

Li Guishe's face was twisted, sweat sliding down his forehead, yet he seemed to feel no pain, wholly focused on the changes within his body.

With each breath, his body grew larger; that bizarre meat ball gradually became transparent, faintly revealing the intricate meridians and flowing blood inside.

And in the shadow beneath his buttocks, the bizarre in the consciousness visualization diagram was slowly weaving his shadow into some shape.

Hong Ya knocked heavily on the door several times, but there was no response from inside.

She frowned slightly, then pushed hard with her palm; the latch snapped with a sound, and the door panel creaked open slowly.

Hong Ya walked quickly to the bedside, looking at Li Guishe sleeping fully clothed, and hurriedly said:

"Master, stop sleeping, Junior Brother is about to be arrested; we need to prepare for a prison break tonight."

Hong Ya did not notice that a puddle of shadow beneath the bed edge was silently spreading, slowly seeping into the shadow under her feet, then slowly drilling out again, only its color a shade dimmer than before, barely perceptible to the naked eye.

Li Guishe sat up; after listening to Hong Ya recount the news content, his withered face showed not a ripple, only saying blandly:

"No need to worry about your Junior Brother; as your Master I will protect him completely, absolutely not letting anyone harm his life."

Hong Ya nodded, saying:

"I'll go prepare the needed things right away. There are quite a few constables at the Patrol Bureau; this time I'll have to bring all the stored corpse-dissolving water."

In the courtyard, several Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters who had just put down their rice bowls simultaneously circulated Qi and Blood to their ears, secretly listening to the fragmented words coming from inside the room.

They exchanged glances and smiled, unable to help feeling a few traces of emotion in their hearts.

"Hong Ya really cares for Junior Brother to the utmost; since that's the case, I'll go help Junior Sister prepare more corpse-dissolving water through the night later."

"The Patrol Bureau doesn't have many people on duty these days; we might not need that much."

"Junior Sister's preparatory work can't go to waste; we have to find a way to make the Patrol Bureau all stay at the Police Station tomorrow."

"Hmm, how about we call the Patrol Bureau before the operation and give them a warning, a heads-up?"

"This idea is marvelous, perfectly to my liking!"

The Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters spoke one after another, enthusiastically brainstorming, discussing heatedly, yet not a single one noticed the obvious loophole in the plan.

Actually, Junior Brother would only be "formally arrested" by the Patrol Bureau tomorrow morning; they only needed to find Junior Brother tonight and hide him away properly, so why would they need to break into prison afterward?

They didn't even want to call Junior Brother first to ask after his situation.

Inside the room.

Inside the room, Li Guishe let out a light sigh, reached out and gently grabbed the excitedly departing Hong Ya, and said earnestly:

"As your Master I'm not telling you to break into prison; my meaning is, you don't need to be this anxious.

Your Senior Brother and Fifth Senior Brother are also in the Second Prison; since they haven't returned tonight and haven't sent any word to the Guan, this shows the situation isn't serious, we don't need to worry."

Hong Ya's expression changed slightly; her bright large eyes looked seriously at Li Guishe: "Really?"

Li Guishe's face revealed benevolence and wisdom: "Really."

Hong Ya's mouth corner twitched lightly, revealing a trace of helplessness: "Then I won't disturb Master's rest."

She gave a light humph, turned and left the room, gently closing the door behind her, returned to the stone table in the courtyard, and listlessly picked up her bowl and chopsticks.

At the stone table, the originally heated discussion atmosphere seemed to have been doused with a basin of cold water, falling silent in an instant.

Everyone held their own bowls, silently eating their rice and dishes, no longer speaking.

Suddenly, Third Senior Brother Zhao Zhixin set his bowl heavily on the table, lowered his voice and said: "Master the old man is muddle-headed!"

Second Senior Sister Liu Xie gave him a sidelong glance; Zhao Zhixin hurriedly explained:

"It's good that Master trusts Senior Brother and Wu Senior Brother, but this is a major matter concerning Junior Brother's life and death; how can he reach a conclusion so rashly? I think we should still make two-handed preparations."

Fourth Yuan Xidi's mind didn't have so many twists and turns; the moment he opened his mouth he exposed his petty calculation:

"Right, can't let Senior Brother and Wu Senior Brother eat the exclusive food with Junior Brother."

Zhao Zhixin looked helplessly at Yuan Xidi, worried about his IQ, and also worried that Fourth had sparred with Junior Brother too frequently recently and gotten his brain beaten stupid, feeling he'd become even dumber.

He was forced to pick up the conversation, saying faintly:

"Ever since Little Junior Brother went to Second Prison, Second Prison has been quite lively lately; Wu Senior Brother's mouth corner has nearly cracked to his ear roots these past two days, truly making us others green with envy."

The usually taciturn Sixth Senior Brother Wang Yu chimed in:

"Haven't seen Little Junior Brother much recently, a bit miss him."

Hearing the junior brothers and sisters speak such words united as one, Liu Xie's eyes narrowed slightly; she finished the last mouthful of rice, her gaze turning toward the pouting Hong Ya, tone flat as she said:

"Since everyone misses Little Junior Brother this much, then give him a phone call."
