Lu Xiuya suddenly opened her eyes.
Dazzling white light filled her entire field of vision.
She couldn't help but reach out her hand to cover her eyes. It was extremely quiet around her, only a faint sound of car horns could be heard, as if coming from a great distance. It felt as if this place either had excellent sound insulation or was itself situated far away from the hustle and bustle of the city—in Capital City, only these two possibilities existed.
Even amidst the vague sounds of car horns, she could hear the occasional chirping of birds.
"Where is this?" she murmured softly, her voice returning to its normal timbre. It was somewhat hoarse but still mingled with a feminine softness.
But no one answered her. The quiet persisted. She could faintly hear the ticking of a clock's second hand.
As her eyes gradually adjusted to the light, Lu Xiuya slowly moved her hand away. She then began to take in her surroundings.
