The temperature in the basement was very cold, almost-10 degrees Celsius, just like the outside. The thick clothes on the two women had been stripped off, leaving only a thin layer. They were shivering in the cold, their lips blue and purple, and their bodies were so cold that they almost couldn't feel anything.
A coarse hemp rope was wrapped around her wrist. The rope had worn through the skin of her wrist and dug into her flesh, causing blood to flow out.
The blood that was flowing out quickly solidified on the surface due to the cold temperature, but their hanging posture was too uncomfortable. They had to move their bodies after a while, and with every move, the wounds that had just solidified would open again, and new blood would flow out. This repeated over and over again, and both of their arms were almost dyed red with blood.
