What met my eyes was still pitch-black darkness.
In the past, she could see in the dark. But now, without her tail, she is blind in the dark, just like a human.
She walked aimlessly forward, the ground covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. Each step she took made a rustling sound, which, in the quiet environment, only amplified the inexplicable fear she felt.
But there wasn't a single person in this place except for her!
She clenched her fists tightly and placed them in front of her chest, trying to calm her nervousness and fear.
But it had no effect.
Soon, her cheeks, forehead, and even her entire back were covered in a dense layer of cold sweat.
"Bang—"
Her forehead bumped into something hard, and for a moment she saw stars, the pain almost bringing tears to her eyes. She reached up and touched it; it was a cold wall. It was a small house with four walls, except for a small window on one wall and an iron door, which was tightly shut. There were security bars on the window, so she couldn't get out.
Immediately afterwards, Yi Yi searched every corner of the room, confirming her earlier suspicions. She checked her pockets, but her phone was nowhere to be found.
That makes sense. Since they went to such lengths to kidnap her, how could they possibly allow her to have a cell phone on her?
Yi Yi plopped down on the cold ground covered with thick leaves, bent her knees, and hugged herself. This way, she could stay a little warmer.
Since there's no way to escape, all we can do is wait...
She was waiting for Mu Nanxun to find her, or for the person who had kidnapped her to show up.
"Let me out, let me out..."
Just then, a shrill scream rang out not far away. The sound made Yi Yi jump reflexively, her entire back stiffening.
It turns out there were other people here besides her.
She composed herself and continued listening.
"Help! I can't take it anymore! Let me out... let me out..."
After shouting for a while, the voices of other people could be heard one after another.
"I want to get out, I want to get out..."
"I'm innocent! Let me out of here... or else, or else you'll regret it..."
In the darkness, listening to these mournful sounds, Yi felt her scalp tingle and the hairs on her body stand on end.
After a while, a rough voice impatiently yelled at them, "What are you yelling about in the middle of the night? Shut up, all of you! If anyone doesn't behave, I'll shoot him!"
The shouting stopped, and the surroundings returned to their initial silence.

The long, agonizing night finally passed. Yi Yi had barely slept a wink that night. She dared not sleep, afraid that if she fell asleep, she would be secretly taken to an even more remote place. Dawn broke, and a few rays of light streamed in through the small window, casting dappled shadows on her.
For the first time, Yi felt that the sunlight on her body did not bring any warmth, but only a bone-chilling cold.
"Squeak"
The heavy iron gate creaked as it slowly opened from the outside, stirring up a cloud of dust.
This house has probably been uninhabited for a long time.
Yi Yi immediately sat up straight. Before the iron gate opened, she had already covered herself with a black cloth again and tied her hands and feet again.
"He's quite honest."
A deep, resonant voice rang out from above.
"You've been hungry for a day and a night, let's eat something."
