He tossed a cloak into my arms and said coldly, “Leave quickly—”
I struggled to raise my foot, stepping over countless high thresholds, following him with difficulty.
Outside the stone house was a stone corridor, descending step by step. All the windows were closed, and only the muffled sound of rain could be heard from outside.
"...Where am I?" I asked in terror.
The man just gave me a silent back, without a word.
This is too scary, you know? It's all surrounded by stones, so gloomy and cold. And from the corner of my eye, I keep catching glimpses of ghostly figures flashing past... I haven't seen any other living people along the way either....
Wouldn't it be a tomb? Like, suspended coffins and sky burials, or carving mountains into graves.
I summoned my courage and called out, "Hello."
The man stopped his feet.
I immediately got scared. The sound echoed in the emptiness, sending shivers down my spine.
I wrapped my cloak tightly around myself and quickly walked behind the man.
Get close enough, and you can feel the warmth of his body. He's alive.
"Where am I? Is anyone else here?" I whispered.
He simply replied, "Gone to save myself."
< Self-rescue? Yeah... This place should be within the disaster zone, right? >
"Are there many casualties here?" I blurted out.
The man chuckled lightly: "Mind your own business. You can't even walk properly, and you're concerned about other people's casualties?"
My face turned red, why can't I take a step forward?
This man's body is simply...simply...
When I was in so much pain last night that my tears were blurring my vision, I caught a few glimpses.
What abs, what mermaid lines...
...I, I didn't see anything!
He crossed his arms and tilted his head to face me, seemingly enjoying my exasperated expression.
"Yin Luo." He called my name.
My heart skipped a beat—he knew my name. Could it be that my ID was in his hands?
"The mark I gave you, why did you erase it?" he asked coldly.
Mark?
I stared blankly at him, shaking my head. "I don't understand what you're saying...what kind of mark?"
He touched my shoulder lightly and said in a low voice, "I told you not to use drugs to erase the mark, but I didn't tell you... After being broken, the mark will also disappear."
I tilted my head in confusion, not hearing the rest of his words.
He coldly said, "So, you're not a virgin anymore, are you?"
I listened to him blankly, focusing on the last sentence.
"Nonsense! You don't know what you did to me?! I'm certainly not...that now!" I yelled at him, my eyes welling up.
His lips curled into a thin, cold smile as he reached out and pinched my chin. His voice held a dangerous edge: "No... You've already had a man before coming here, haven't you?"
My head was buzzing, a man who took advantage of me actually questioned me?! What a nerve!
"You, you...let go!" I raged, pounding his arm with all my might, but his grip didn't loosen at all.
He squeezed my cheeks so hard, I couldn't close my mouth.
My tears welled up again, damn it, what the hell is going on!
With good intentions, she came running to offer help, but was drugged by the bad guys and taken advantage of by a strange old man who kept saying nonsensical things?!
I sobbed and kicked him frantically, "What does this have to do with you! You criminal!"
