The sound of Qin You's footsteps gradually faded, the back door was abruptly closed, blocking out the sunlight.
He Wei looked up, staring wide-eyed as Li Weize stepped closer to her.
A green light hovered in his palms, rapidly swirling like a vortex.
Cold sweat poured down. She pushed herself off the wall to stand, but in the next instance, a powerful force hit her, making her collapse uncontrollably to the floor. Her forehead hit the tiles with a muffled thud.
"Don't——"
Before her scream could escape, a thick vine from somewhere covered her mouth, the damp, earthy smell making her nauseous.
Before her terrified eyes, Li Weize slowly walked towards her, squatting down to gaze at her deeply.
He Wei furrowed her brows, struggling to pull the vine off while making muffled noises.
He watched her face for a long while. His gaze and tone were surprisingly calm, yet foreboding like the calm before a storm, making her heart almost leap out of her throat.
