The crowd cast their eyes towards him.
The chopsticks jumped nimbly in Jiang Yiyi's hand, attracting some attention.
The dull sound of beatings never stopped. The madman was so immersed in venting violence that he didn't notice anything happening outside at all.
The blood smudged the floor into bright colors, and as Jiang Yiyi approached, a pile of bloody footprints was left behind.
The noisy noise gradually subsided, and the prisoners stared at Jiang Yiyi in silence, looking forward to a good scene - either the madman beat him half to death, or he was beaten half to death by the madman.
Blood and death only make this place more exciting.
Jiang Yiyi stopped a few steps away and stared at the crazy scene in front of him which was filled with blood.
One-sided beatings can easily arouse sympathy from bystanders for the victim, but long-term and uninterrupted beatings will only turn this sympathy into fear.
The madman's expression was not ferocious, but his eyes were extremely fierce, like a beast that had bitten its prey - he had no reason and acted solely on instinct.
There is no doubt that if anyone dares to touch his prey, he will bite back without hesitation and shift the target of attack to the person who tries to stop him.
Perhaps this is why everyone stood far away, watching this scene, and no one stepped forward to stop it - this would not be the first time the madman went crazy, and what had happened before was enough for everyone to learn a lesson.
Is this guy... a beast that acts on instinct? Or is he simply mentally unstable
Jiang Yiyi assessed the danger of the other party, paused, and the rotating chopsticks suddenly stopped.
In any case, there was no time for him to continue thinking - if he was not stopped, the guy would really be beaten to death.
Jiang Yiyi took another step, crossed the safe distance, and invaded the madman's territory.
The madman's men did not stop, and he turned his head to glance at Jiang Yiyi. His pupils contracted, reflecting Jiang Yiyi's calm expression.
The madman squatted on the ground, staring at Jiang Yiyi vigilantly.
The atmosphere became tense.
It's like two wild beasts that are wary of and testing each other, vigilantly looking for each other's weaknesses, and the next second it may turn into a life-and-death fight.
Jiang Yiyi felt that he should be scared at this time - after all, no matter how you looked at it, he would be the one who would be beaten half to death.
It is known that he has no fighting or street fighting skills. Apparently, the madman has extremely sophisticated fighting skills.
Secondly, Jiang Yiyi’s most powerful weapon is not on him.
Finally, the lunatic looked serious.
Jiang Yiyi thought so and couldn't help but smiled with his lips pursed. The dimples at the corners of his mouth were deeply sunken. Although he tried to restrain himself, he couldn't hide the brilliance of his smile at the moment.
The silent scene was extremely silent. The encirclement that had left a large open space around the madman expanded a bit again, leaving more room for them.
After a brief pause, the prisoners' excitement suddenly rose again, and they were looking forward to the even more cruel scenes to come.
The butcher frowned and gestured to the prison guard beside him.
The prison guard nodded, pressed the communicator, walked aside and whispered something.
The prison guards outside the door rushed in together, holding batons, with upright postures and serious expressions, and surrounded the entire cafeteria in rows.
Lin Yi seemed a little out of place among them.
His eyes swept across the inexplicably excited prisoners and fell on the two people who were confronting each other, then he frowned. He and Jiang Yiyi temporarily formed a community of interests, and he absolutely did not want to see Jiang Yiyi encounter any accident here.
Of course, theoretically speaking, he didn’t think the second floor would be a place where unexpected events might occur for Jiang Yiyi.
But the madman - he knew this guy, the madman who moved from the first floor to the second floor in the shortest time.
He does not know pain, fear, and will not stop attacking because of the threat of death.
He is a veritable madman.
In a way, he was unbeatable.
This is not good news for Jiang Yiyi.
Lin Yi glanced at the butcher. The butcher stared at Jiang Yiyi with a frown on his face, and had no intention of asking the prison guard to stop what was happening next.
The confrontation lasted only a few seconds and then ended.
The madman stopped punching, stood up, lowered his body, and rushed towards Jiang Yiyi.
This guy is really crazy.
Jiang Yiyi shook her head, took a step back and kept some distance.
The madman arrived in the blink of an eye, and his fist, accompanied by a sharp sound of wind, went straight towards Jiang Yiyi's temple.
Jiang Yiyi placed his right hand in front of his chest and raised his left hand slightly.
The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense, with everyone staring intently at the two people who were about to come into contact.
The chopsticks in Jiang Yiyi's right hand made a very slight sound of piercing the flesh, and the madman's movement paused for a second, which bought Jiang Yiyi time.
Jiang Yiyi's left hand landed on the other's shoulder before the madman's fist and patted it gently.
Um
Expressions of excitement, anticipation, and fear were frozen at the same time.
What is this guy doing
Instead of quickly knocking the madman down, he patted him on the shoulder
The madman's fist, which was whistling towards him, suddenly stopped at Jiang Yiyi's temple - a fatal point that could cause coma at best, or death at worst if hit hard.
Jiang Yiyi loosened his right hand to avoid the blood dripping along the chopsticks.
Everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on the chopstick. Although the chopstick was almost one-third inserted into the madman's chest due to the opponent's force - but that position was still some distance away from the heart, it could even be said to be a very safe wound, at least it would not make the madman lose his combat effectiveness.
That guy didn't feel any pain at all, and it was impossible for him to stop attacking because of injury.
But the reality is before us.
The madman stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Jiang Yiyi, his fierce gaze returning to chaos once again.
Jiang Yiyi patted his shoulder and said calmly: "You almost beat him to death."
The madman blinked and didn't react.
Jiang Yiyi glanced at the reminder that popped up at the side: Psychology skills have been upgraded to elite level. She silently looked away, reached out and pressed down the madman's fist that was stopped at the side, and it naturally fell on both sides of the madman's body.
At this point, Jiang Yiyi finally had some self-awareness: he might be a great and important person.
Anyway, Jiang Yiyi had never heard of such a function in psychology - he glanced at the dazed madman, his eyes swept across the extremely silent cafeteria and fell on the butcher.
"I'm done, let's go."
The butcher was stunned for at least three seconds before he realized what was happening in the absurd and bizarre reality.
"Go call a doctor." The butcher casually ordered a prison guard, and then raised his voice: "What are you standing there for? Eat your meal. If you waste food again, you won't even have a meal."
The silent prisoners returned to the dining table quietly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Jiang Yiyi and the madman.
The butcher approached Jiang Yiyi and glanced at the madman who had regained his dazed look: "Do you know each other?"
A bunch of people pricked up their ears.
"First time meeting you." Jiang Yiyi gestured towards the cafeteria entrance: "Not leaving?"
The butcher regained his amiable demeanor and said, "As expected of a doctor... Come on, I'll take you to the cell."
He walked in front, leading the way and said, "Our single cell is a bit tight..."
He suddenly stopped talking.
Jiang Yiyi turned her head and looked at the madman behind her.
The madman followed him silently and dazedly, the blood from his chest staining a large area of his clothes red, the chopsticks were still stuck straight in his body, he seemed to be unaware and stood silently behind Jiang Yiyi.
The butcher's expression was somewhat meaningful: "But it just so happens that the madman is in a single room. It seems that he can move out now."
"Doctor, I remember you're a surgeon?" The butcher walked through the quiet cafeteria, and under everyone's close gaze, he talked to Jiang Yiyi in an orderly manner: "I'll leave the madman's injury to you?"
"If you need any medical supplies, you can apply to me." The butcher smiled and said, "Doctors on the second floor have always been scarce. Fortunately, you are here."
"Don't be polite to me, just tell me what you want." The butcher glanced at the cell, stopped, swiped his card to open the door, and glanced at the madman who had been following Jiang Yiyi all the way: "After all... you make it convenient for me, and I make it convenient for you, a win-win situation."
“I also like win-win situations.”
The butcher gestured to the cell. "It's for four people, but it will probably only be the two of you for a while."
Jiang Yiyi walked into the cell, and the madman followed him closely, never leaving his side.
The butcher closed the door and continued to talk to Jiang Yiyi while leaning against it: "That prison guard... do you need me to help you deal with him?"
Look at how magnanimous he is.
Jiang Yiyi thought for a few seconds whether to cross the river and burn the bridge. In the end, considering Lin Yi's appearance and the butcher's ordinary NPC appearance, she made the right choice.
"No need. It's more convenient to have someone close to you."
"He's one of our own." The butcher repeated with some surprise, not wanting to dwell on the topic any more. Instead, he said, "Then I'll ask him to bring the medical equipment to you later..." He paused and said, "After using it, he can just bring it back to me."
Not just give it to me? Jiang Yiyi revised her view of the other party's generosity, and it wasn't that generous.
"This is dangerous stuff. If we find out that the criminal is illegally in possession of it, we will all be in trouble." The butcher said meaningfully: "But if it's the third floor, maybe it's different."
"Ah, it's getting late. I have to go back." The butcher didn't see anything from Jiang Yiyi's expression. He saved himself a way out. When he turned around to leave, he remembered something and turned to look at Jiang Yiyi: "Doctor, do you remember the rules I told you?"
Jiang Yiyi didn't give him the chance to say something harsh again: "Don't worry, I like rules."
The butcher let out a false sigh of relief: "Looking at the files, the doctor was a surgeon before?"
Jiang Yiyi blinked and confirmed what he said: "That's right."
"Now it seems that doctors also study psychiatry?" The butcher mentioned casually: "We have also asked someone to look at the madman's condition. They said it was some kind of stress trauma or something... We don't understand it either, but it's hard to control anyway."
He glanced at the madman standing behind Jiang Yiyi, who was dull and calm, and his eyebrows jumped: "I saw the doctor and he didn't do anything, how come he... calmed down?"
Jiang Yiyi answered his question sincerely: "It's hard for me to explain it to you clearly..." Because I don't know why...
The butcher didn't care how he did it. What he really cared about was another point: "Can it be cured?"
Jiang Yiyi looked at the butcher with some surprise. The concern on his face did not seem fake. He turned his head to look at the madman behind him. The madman rolled his eyes and looked at him.
In the chaos, there is no reason.
Even if the ferocious beast calms down temporarily, it will still choose a person to eat at any time.
"I'm a surgeon."
The butcher was not surprised by his answer. He leaned against the door and said slowly, "Doctor, can you look at the madman's file..." He stood up straight and said, "Maybe it will interest you."
"Whatever the doctor's purpose in coming to the prison is, the reward for curing a madman will not disappoint you."
