"But I have my back to you, so I can't see your hands."
The spirit shifted its body, turning itself sideways to face Bai Yitang, and forcefully moved its hands from behind its back towards its body.
She was very flexible, and moved both hands to the sides so that she could clearly see Bai Yitang cutting the ropes.
"Move the knife to the right."
"Oh!" Bai Yitang began to move to the right following the spirit's instructions.
"Go forward, keep going forward, then a little to the left, okay, right here!"
Guided by the spirit, they finally located the knife on the rope.
Next, cutting the rope will make things easier, but it will take some time.
About ten minutes later, a thick rope was cut in half.
The spirit took a deep breath and, relying on its own strength, broke free of the ropes.
Upon gaining his freedom, he immediately untied the ropes binding his feet.
He then bent down behind Bai Yitang and began to untie the ropes binding his hands.
Bai Yitang felt a loosening at his wrists and easily broke free of the ropes.
He then untied the ropes from his feet, and the spirit took the opportunity to untie the ropes from Zhu Qinghan's wrists and ankles.
"Qinghan, Qinghan, wake up." After shaking him a few times, Zhu Qinghan still did not move.
Yin Ling felt a pang of heartache and reached out to touch the tip of Zhu Qinghan's nose.
His breathing was very weak, but thankfully he was still breathing.
“Hey kid, my friend is unconscious and needs someone to carry her out.”
Bai Yitang dusted himself off and hesitated for a moment after hearing Yin Ling's words.
He would have a hard time escaping on his own, so how could he possibly escape while carrying a grown man on his back?
The spirit seemed to know what he was thinking and gave a cold snort.
"Don't forget, I'm your savior. Without me, you wouldn't even have had the chance to escape."
Bai Yitang knew that it would be unreasonable for him to refuse.
Moreover, the other party were two girls, whose situation was more dangerous than his.
"Give me a hand!" He turned his back and squatted down.
Yin Ling helped the unconscious Zhu Qinghan up, and then the three of them walked together to the warehouse door.
The warehouse door was a roller shutter door, which may have made their kidnappers think that they were tied up and couldn't possibly escape.
So thankfully, the roller shutter door was not locked.
The spirit opened the door, and Bai Yitang carried Zhu Qinghan out first, with the spirit following closely behind.
There was a dimly lit corridor outside, leading to an underground parking lot, which was also dimly lit.
Bai Yitang walked forward with his head down, while Yin Ling cautiously looked around.
It seems like their escape was too easy. The other side went to great lengths to kidnap them, and the door wasn't locked. Shouldn't there have been at least two people guarding it?
Right here
A beam of light shone in this direction.
"They're over there!"
A group of people ran towards them, flashlights in hand.
Bai Yitang and Yin Ling both panicked.
"Run!" Yin Ling shouted to Bai Yitang.
After realizing what was happening, Bai Yitang grabbed Zhu Qinghan and started running wildly.
Although Zhu Qinghan is thin, she is quite tall and weighs at least 100 pounds.
Bai Yitang was a teenager who was still developing. Even though he had good physical strength and endurance, carrying a person weighing over 100 pounds on his back and trying to escape being captured was a feeling of his lungs bursting and his legs going weak. He had never experienced anything like this before.
The two men, one carrying someone on his back and the other injured, ran for a while before being caught up by the other.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Yin Ling said to Bai Yitang, "You take my friend and leave, I'll cover your retreat!"
"Are you...can you manage on your own, you girl?"
The spirit chuckled confidently, "Mind your own business."
She stopped talking.
Bai Yitang couldn't help but stop, feeling that it was unfair for a man to leave a girl behind.
"Hurry up, we can only contact the outside world if you leave!"
Bai Yitang knew he couldn't act rashly at this moment, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll make sure your friend gets out of here safely! Be careful."
After saying that, Bai Yitang carried Zhu Qinghan on his back and started running outside.
The spirit pressed a button on its watch, and a silver thread as thin as a hair shot out from the watch and wrapped around its ring finger.
At that moment, the group of people had already arrived in front of her.
The other person shone a flashlight on the ghost's face and realized that she was the only one left.
"What about the other two?"
"You can try to find them after you get past me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the evil spirit stepped forward and took the initiative to attack.
The other party was stunned for a moment, and dodged to the side when the evil spirit raised its foot to kick.
The spirit turned around and began to attack again, its silver threads already wrapped around the opponent's arm.
The leader cursed under his breath, "We're not here to arrest you, stop!"
Yin Ling paused in her movements and glanced at the other party sideways.
“We received orders to release you, but when we went to the warehouse we found you were gone. However, we were instructed to deliver the message to you, so we chased after you all the way here.”
The man in the lead spoke politely and didn't seem to be lying.
The spirit withdrew the silver thread, still staring at the man before her with some uncertainty.
Why did you let us go?
"We don't know the specifics either. We just followed the orders from above. You can go now."
After saying this, the leading man waved his hand, and his men followed him away without a word.
The spirit stood there, staring in confusion at their departing figures.
