Code Words

Outside the Iron City.

Under the moonlight, Lin Ran looked at the patterns on the fabric. Although his eyesight was not bad, the imprint was too rough. He had to focus with all his might to barely distinguish what it was.

It was not until his eyes were sore and his head was dizzy that Lin Ran finally saw something.

Among the complicated patterns, he could vaguely see some lines that looked like strokes. However, he was already dizzy and was not sure if he was hallucinating.

"Is there… a word inside?"

Lin Ran looked at the fabric and asked, "I think I saw some brush strokes, but I can't recognize them at all."

"It seems that you still have some comprehension!"

Ye Jin chuckled and stood up. She patted Lin Ran's shoulder like a little adult. "Don't be discouraged. It's normal that you can't recognize it because it's not ordinary words, but code words."

"Code words?"
