There was a mix of relief, longing and loss in Lei Liqiu's heart. Broken string of pearls trickled down the corner of her eyes and she bit her lips to muffle the cry that threatened to escape from her throat.

"Help…" She cried out, "Anybody, help me…"
As if answering her plea, the door slammed open against the wall, creating a loud bang and in the next second, a cold bucket of water was poured up from above her head. Literally.
She gasped in shock, the water entered her nose and mouth, making her cough incessantly.
