"Hmm, let’s look for their ’new clothes’. They were tortured and skinned alive, and after death, their resentment was deliberately trapped here," Tianmiao said habitually, suddenly remembering, oh, this is the West. She corrected herself, "Souls trapped here and can’t go to heaven."
Lou Sha widened her eyes, "Are you saying? They went to find those who came in with us? They..." She paused, a thought flashed in her mind of the new skins they had donned, weren’t those the other two people? She and Tianmiao had actually been in those cabinets with hanging human skins for so long?
"Wait, how do you know?" Lou Sha suddenly recalled this fact.
"Have you forgotten where I come from? I’m from the East. In the East, there are some secret techniques that allow people to see souls. My family happens to know some of these techniques," Tianmiao said softly.
"Oh my God, mysterious and powerful East," Lou Sha marveled, her eyes once again lighting up while looking at Tianmiao. Then she remembered something, quickened her pace, and approached the blood pool. Indeed, two skinned corpses floated slowly in the blood pool.
Unable to hold back any longer, Lou Sha turned to the side and began to vomit violently.
"We have to go!" Tianmiao pulled the retching-for-her-life Lou Sha.
"Hey, you know, I always thought I was brave and had nothing to fear. Now I think you’re the one who truly fears nothing. Can you tell me, how do you do it?" Lou Sha attempted to ease her tension by talking as they ran.
"It’s nothing, just get used to it after seeing so much," Tianmiao replied.
"What exactly does your family do? You’ve seen so much of this? I’ve never seen anything like this before," Lou Sha said, still shaken.
"The resentment here is too intense, that’s why you can see it," Tianmiao didn’t answer Lou Sha’s question but explained why she could see things that are usually unseen.
The two walked out of the room, and soon, more screams emerged from the room, like beasts waiting for prey, using the sound to draw them closer. If you didn’t hide well, you would become prey.
"Let’s go quickly." Lou Sha held Tianmiao’s hand and moved forward cautiously.
Tianmiao looked up, and then quickly retracted her gaze, following Lou Sha, starting to jog.
And at the moment Tianmiao looked up, the nobles watching from above noticed her.
"Is this the black-haired, black-eyed Eastern girl that Duke Andophin mentioned? The light is too dim to see her face at all, I wonder what she looks like."
"The one with her, is that the baron’s daughter?"
"Oh, you mean the fallen Baron Bariman? He has nothing left except the baron title, right?"
"These two are actually together, holding hands. They just successfully came out of that room, impressive."
"Can I still change my choice? I want to choose these two."
The King and Andophin were also standing there. The King, somewhat displeased, said to Andophin, "Why didn’t you tell me beforehand that there’s a black-haired, black-eyed Eastern girl participating this time? Why not bring her to see me?"
"Oh, noble Majesty, I just wanted to give you a surprise," Andophin said with apparent respect. Only she knew her true thoughts. That Eastern girl was so beautiful, she was certain the King would be moved and would want to keep the Eastern girl. That would definitely affect her status. How could she allow such a thing to happen?
