Li Huan continued to beg for a second chance silently as the tears from her eyes continued to fall. Due to the wounds on her face, her salty tears add to the physical pain that she has at that moment.
"Tap.Tap. Tap." The sound of metal being tapped by something overlaps everywhere. Li Huan hears the whimper coming out from the others, probably from other beings on the other cells due to being scared.
Li Huan is also terrified, especially when the tapping sound sounding closer. "Is this the end of me?" Her inner thoughts.
"Tap!" The last tap is so loud enough to startle her, and for her to stare look at her cell gate, trembling in fear.
The cell that is currently at have bars of metal as a door that clearly allows the being inside to see if someone dropped by to "visit".
Li Huan eyes can only stare at the being wearing an oni mask, with a painted bird on the side of the face. She does not care about other details as she is more scared for her life!
"It"s over... All over.." Li Huan thought herself as she remembered where she had seen the mask symbol before.
The being then, stood in front of her, with a t.i.tled head. "Aren"t you a..." The man paused for a moment, before continuing, "pitiful fellow..." Sounding sad. "Well, I"m surprised that you are still alive."
"Do you want to continue to live or die. Do not worry, I will do my best to make it painless." He asked suddenly. Li Huan, of course, cannot answer, that made the man laughed loudly.
"Hehe. You need to think of a creative way to tell me cause, you know... I do not want my hands to be dirty. Your... Disgusting..." The man explained with indifference.
Li Huan certainly wants to live so she will do everything for that to happen. However, she also cannot trust this man in front of her as this mask is a symbol from the family of the woman she hates the most!
"He is making fun of me!" Li Huan eyes looked at the man dead. In her heart, even though she is on her current state, she will never allow anyone from that family to see her cowering to death!
"Oho! Hostility to the one that is supposed to save you? Tsk. Tsk. So ungrateful..." Then the men, mask touched her face. "Just like what we need..." He whispered with amus.e.m.e.nt.
"Well, I can a.s.sume that you still have the spirit to live right?" The man commented.
Since the man does not want to touch Li Huan, he used a knife to cut and destroy the tool that is stopping the woman to speak.
"You... What do you want?" Li Huan finally able to speak, her eyes still glaring at the man.
"Hmm. Regardless of what I want, it is still better on the torture that you will get when Justice Affairs squeeze you with any information. Right?" The man with a mask said, dismissively as he just proceeds to free her from chains.
First her feet, then her hands. Since too weak, Li Huan fell on face front on the ground.
"If you are done sleeping, follow me." The man stated with indifference before getting out of Li Huan"s chamber.
Li Huan understood that regardless who is the man, and despite him wearing a mask from the enemy, this is still a once in a lifetime chance.
She immediately followed the man even if Li Huan cannot even walk properly and just used the walls to support herself. Li Huan does not know where they are going but, she will do everything to get out of this place.
Her determination to leave got stronger along the way as Li Huan was able to witness the state of the other prisoners.
