My stay in the underground facilities finally came to an end. Hold your horses! I haven't managed to escape. It was just that they had enough fun with me already.
After the Oldman had roughened me up with his vast magical power, they mostly left me to my devices. Almost like before, though, they stopped feeding me the blue potion. Perhaps I have angered the Oldman, and he decided it was a waste of his resources to use the potion on this ungrateful boy.
Mind you, I was a boy back then. Perhaps a few months older than you now, Linlin.
I'm saying this only for you to understand that many of the decisions I made back then were profoundly stupid. Well, I was stupid and hopelessly optimistic, even after my torturous experience.
