Mu Boyan slightly furrowed his brow, lifting his cellphone to turn on the flashlight and illuminate the darkness below.
The sound of chains echoed from underneath.
He glanced at Lin Chu beside him, "I'm going down, you wait here."
Lin Chu nodded, her eyes brimming with moisture.
Mu Boyan descended the steps, the foul stench growing stronger.
Suddenly, a shadow pounced, hands gripping his throat.
Mu Boyan tried to grab her hands and felt sticky filth.
The phone clattered to the ground, the flashlight beam revealing the person before him.
Her hair was disheveled, her voice hoarse, issuing grating sounds, her long nails digging into the man's neck.
Mu Boyan pulled her hands away and placed his hand behind her head, the figure before him instantly losing the ability to attack and collapsing to the ground.
Mu Boyan picked up the cellphone, shining it around, and found the woman shackled by a long chain to a steel pipe.
