Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot-Chapter 294 - 275: Back from the Dead

"Hey, government officer brother, I’ll tell your fortune. If I’m right, could you give me my compass?"

"I don’t believe it."

"If you don’t believe me, ask him."

Ji Li pointed at Si Snake, who was sitting beside them with his eyes closed, "He’s Si Snake, he never lies."

The officer remained unimpressed.

Another officer walked over, "I’m going to the gambling den later. Should I bet big or small?"

Ji Li laughed, "Your luck isn’t great tonight, I advise you not to gamble."

"What about tomorrow?"

"Not tomorrow either."

"The day after tomorrow?"

Ji Li shook his head and sighed, "Little brother, you have no luck with gambling. You lose whenever you gamble."

"Damn, you really got it right!"

The second officer gritted his teeth, found the Feng Shui Compass from Ji Li’s luggage, and handed it in through the iron bars, "Is this it?"

"That’s it!" Ji Li took the Feng Shui Compass, wiped it lovingly with his sleeve, "Little brother, although you have no gambling luck, within three days you’ll have romantic fortune. Remember to go to the lantern festival."

After saying this, Ji Li sat back beside Si Snake, "Snake, how about it? I won, right? I told you I could get the compass."

Si Snake said, "I never agreed to a bet with you, and don’t call me Snake."

Ji Li asked, "Then what should I call you? Old Snake? Venomous Snake? Come on, we’re so familiar now, calling those would be too formal. Or do you want to tell me your name? Each of us Twelve Guards has a name, only you keep being called Si Snake. Did you lose your memory and forget your name, or do you not like it?"

"Look, I don’t like being called Rooster. I’m so handsome and charming, how could I be a rooster? I wanted to be a dragon back then!"

Si Snake closed his eyes, ignoring the noisy rooster.

Ji Li grabbed Si Snake’s wrist, shaking it with a look of despair, "Snake! Why aren’t you talking? Answer me!"

Si Snake said with the composure of a monk in meditation, "You are really noisy."

Ji Li’s feathers ruffled, "Where isn’t a rooster noisy?!"

Si Snake: "..."

Si Snake pressed his acupoint.

"Snake! I thought of you as a brother, yet you sneak-attacked me! You have no conscience——"

Si Snake then pressed his mute acupoint.

The prison finally quieted down.

Si Snake closed his eyes once more.

Silently, the pointer on Ji Li’s Feng Shui Compass moved——

Ji Li frantically rotated his eyeballs: Si Snake, Si Snake! Someone familiar is coming! Unlock my acupoint!

It was the first time the compass needle wobbled so fiercely.

What’s happening?

Who’s coming?

Why is the Feng Shui Compass reacting so strongly?

The night was dark and windy, and the cells of the Ministry of Justice were eerily quiet.

Hai Pig was tied to a chair.

His acupoint was almost unlocked, with just a little more internal energy, he should be able to get out.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, the iron door of the prison slowly opened.

A tall and burly man in a black cloak slowly entered the cell.

He carried an aura of bone-chilling eeriness, blending with the bloody atmosphere of the execution chamber, making one feel as if they were falling into Purgatory. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Hai Pig’s heart tightened. Though he did not see the man’s face clearly, a sense of apprehension already surged within him.

"Who are you?"

Hai Pig asked.

The man walked up to Hai Pig, looking down at him, then slowly raised his gloved hand and removed the black hood from his head.

A face that was half familiar and half unfamiliar came into Hai Pig’s view.

Hai Pig was greatly shocked, dumbfounded for three breaths, then blurted out, "It’s you..."

"It’s me."

The man took out a half-mask and wore it over his ruined left face, "Haven’t you always been waiting for me?"

"Hahaha!"

Hai Pig suddenly burst into laughter, tears running down his face.

"Yes... I’ve been waiting for you... But I thought I couldn’t wait... I thought it was all my speculation... I didn’t expect you to still be alive..."
