"Everyone outside says that pure-blooded humans are extinct, right? Actually, they're trying to cover up their evil deeds! Although, by now, it's pretty much over..."
The woman gave a self-deprecating laugh, sniffed, and added:
“Every day at 12 o’clock, Sin City sends out beastmen soldiers for spot checks and patrols, locking us up like dogs, only allowing us to appear during caravan trade. You're so beautiful…”
The woman stared intently at Lu Mingming, reaching out to touch his face, but withdrew her hand just before she could make contact.

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes:
"I'm sorry, seeing you reminded me of my daughter who died many years ago. Unfortunately, she was stoned to death by those beast-like bastards outside during my first year in Sin City."
The woman's voice carried malice and resentment.
Lu Mingming wanted to comfort him, but didn't know where to begin.
The woman quickly perked up and looked at Lu Mingming with loving eyes:
"That's why I'm saying, if you have other things to do, wait until you're better before considering them. Otherwise, any homeless person outside could easily take advantage of you."
Lu Mingming silently tightened her collar and pulled the blanket up.
"By 'cleaning up' I mean..."
The woman immediately gave Lu Mingming a strange look, sizing him up from head to toe.
"It means that everything, from the internal organs to the skin, is eaten clean. No one will care if someone kills someone here; it's perfectly normal."

The unexpected answer sent a chill down Lu Mingming's spine.
No wonder Lu Yan said Sin City was the most unruly place.
"Could you please teach me more about the rules of Sin City? I want to find my cub."
Lu Mingming spoke again.
This time, she was determined to live in Sin City for a short time—she was determined to find Hongyu, even if it meant seeing her corpse.
"You're such a stubborn girl. I was going to send you away once you were fully recovered. Let me make this clear: that little cub has probably already been stewed into soup by someone."
The woman was quite helpless, not understanding why this little girl had to seek death.
Lu Mingming remained unmoved, still determined to go out and rescue the cubs.
"Alright, then drink this bowl of medicine, and your body will recover faster."
The woman rummaged through the drawer, pulled out a small bag of gray powder, and casually sprinkled it into the unfinished water, mixing it into a puddle of soup that was unrecognizable.

Lu Mingming swallowed hard, staring at the medicine in the bowl with an unreadable expression.
The medicine contained floating ash of various sizes and all sorts of dark, unidentified creatures. You could even see a strange, deep red color in the murky water, and a foul, rusty smell hit your nose.
Let's give it our all!
Lu Mingming pinched his nose and, under the woman's staring gaze, gulped down the entire bowl of medicine.
The dark, murky soup slid down her lips, and the light within her mind grew even stronger.
"He's a good kid. The stuff from Sin City looks disgusting, but it works fast."
The woman smiled, clearly regarding Lu Mingming as one of her own.
"Get some rest, I'll go make something to eat first."
After saying this, the woman got up and left, leaving Lu Mingming alone in the empty, dirty room.
She tiptoed under the covers, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
