The sage was determined to die.

The moment that man's voice rang directly in his mind, Wang Zhixuan felt a chill run down his spine.

But the pervert seemed completely oblivious to the danger, his voice ringing out in his mind without giving him any time to prepare, even offering a fake reassurance: "It's me, don't worry."

It's because it's you that I'm so worried, okay!

Wang Zhixuan couldn't help but complain in his heart, but his severely injured limbs gave him a peaceful expression, and he couldn't make any unnecessary movements.

"What else do you want to do?"

Wang Zhixuan opened his mouth slightly and spoke in a voice as low as a mosquito's buzz, but the other party could hear him clearly.

"Me?" The man's shameless voice rang in his ears again, "Of course I'm extorting money, not a good person."

Wang Zhixuan: "..."

The other person's bluntness left him speechless for a moment. After a while, he continued in a low voice, "You've already taken the most precious thing I have. There's really nothing else left."

His response was a cold laugh from the other party.

This unpredictable kidnapper was all smiles one second, and the next he revealed his true colors. No one knows what he said to the two men, but almost the next second, Wang Zhixuan felt himself being slammed to the ground. Although he didn't see stars, he was still quite disoriented.

He was careless; he almost forgot his predicament.

The other two were also confused. Looking at Ji Bai's gesturing in sign language, they responded with their own gestures, "What are you doing?"

Ji Bai gestured and said, "How can you be so polite as kidnappers? We're in this line of work, of course we have to be professional."

Hearing Ji Bai say this, the two were still somewhat confused.

"Then," Gongsun Yang, having somewhat guessed the other party's meaning, readily agreed, "what should we do?"

"Just do nothing." Ji Bai put a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture and said, "Be quiet for now."

The two looked at each other, and under Ji Bai's threatening and enticing gaze, they finally covered their mouths first.

……

Quiet.

An indescribable silence.

Wang Zhixuan lay on the ground, half of his face covered, the only thing he could control was his slightly trembling fingers.

He was careless.

He forgot that many people in this world are actually not very bright.

He told the unnamed kidnapper several times that he had nothing to gain from him. The kidnapper couldn't directly attack him because of his identity, but that didn't mean the kidnapper couldn't choose a more direct way to bully him, a disabled person.

That is, they simply threw him away.

Damn.

Damn it.

Wang Zhixuan's face was contorted in pain, but he couldn't do anything, not even get up to tear off the rag covering his face.

His intuition told him that these people might not have gone far and were probably still observing his reaction.

But if he continues to remain silent, he will probably become completely worthless in the other party's eyes...

"This is a very simple psychological warfare," Ji Bai gestured silently to the two of them. "It can also be called a one-sided prisoner's dilemma."

"I know." Yan Ming gestured with his hand as well, "but I thought you would use an easier way, like just hitting him directly."

"I'm afraid I'll just kill him," Ji Bai said honestly.

"How long will he remain silent?" Yan Ming said. "I reckon he's putting on a show in his mind right now."

Hearing this, Ji Bai was speechless.

"That's called a battle between heaven and man, you illiterate."
