The Criminal

Xie Ai blinked and came back to himself slowly. He could hear a buzz echoing in his ears. He blinked slowly and glanced around.

A familiar storage room that he had entered earlier. He blinked a few times again before his vision cleared up. Suddenly, a card appeared in front of him, hovering in the air and revolving in that area.

He stared at the card in a daze.

How come he was saved so easily? What happe—

A soft whimper was what caught his attention. He glanced at the source of the voice, causing his entire body to freeze. The cat who would rub around on his feet was lying lifelessly on the ground, whimpering in pain. Even one of his legs seemed to be broken, looking as if it were chewed.

Xie Ai's face paled as he trembled from head to toe. His heart couldn't stay calm anymore as he felt his chest heavier than ever. The signs of a panic attack were visible on his body, but he knew he didn't have enough luxury to even deal with his situation.
