Chapter 109

"Argh!"

Mei Ling woke up, trembling and in pain. But something was different—better, her mind was finally clear, unlike the surroundings.

"Hello...?" she called out, apprehensive.

No one answered.

Feeling her way around, she got up. Moving away from the bed, she fell onto something that looked like a small desk. Hesitantly, she walked while leaning on the cold walls.

"...Is anyone there...? Zhang Hua? Liu Jia...?"

She was in a hospital—this is what she remembered and was sure of. But to show up in such a dark, lonely place: "...a dungeon...?!" she wondered, frightened.

Swallowing hard, one last name came to her mind: "...Yang Kai...?"

With no response, she continued walking, uncertain of her own decision. Was continuing really the right choice? Was leaving the best decision? Leaving... leaving for where? From where? And more importantly, from where? The indecipherable whispers emerging from the darkness seemed capable of dispelling her doubts.
