Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen questioned angrily.
Xia Sen also stared intently at the man, his heart filled with doubt.
The burly man simply smiled mysteriously. "Of course I know who you are, I know your identities inside and out. However, although I know your identities, I cannot tell you."
Xu Yuehuai hadn't expected that he actually knew her identity. She had only wanted to provoke him, but his response was truly unexpected.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I can only tell you one thing: there's a reason we arrested you."
"Take them away first. I know their identities now, that's enough. Now, take them away properly."
He then signaled his men to take Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen away.
Following those people, they returned to their original location. Amidst their anger and confusion, Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen were taken back to that dimly lit room.
This area is particularly unbearable; it's simply not a place for a human to live.
The place is filled with dampness and decay; normally, no one would live here.
Everything was extremely oppressive; they were crammed into a narrow cell.
The cell was dimly lit, almost completely enclosed, and there was no one else around.
Everything around them was extremely quiet, and they couldn't find anyone to ask them anything.
There was only a small window in the vicinity letting in a faint light.
"What should we do?" Xu Yuehuai asked Xia Sen worriedly.
She didn't know what to do now, never expecting that person to know their identities.
They were now even more convinced that they had been betrayed, otherwise why would the other party speak to them like that?
And that person didn't seem to want to hurt them.
But why trap them here?
Xu Yuehuai really didn't know who that person was, or why they were doing this to them.
Xia Sen was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "We must find out the truth. Perhaps the truth is right in front of us. We absolutely cannot remain silent like this."
"Once we find out the truth, we'll then find a way to escape. Once we're free from this place, we can do our other things."
"Maybe we can find some clues here and escape?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai felt a glimmer of hope.
Maybe they really can find a way to escape from here!
"Okay! Let's look for clues around here!"
Next, they began searching for clues in the cell.
At first, they searched for a long time but found no clues at all. However, they did not give up and continued to search the surrounding area, trying to uncover the secrets of this place.
"Sister, we have no other way out."
"There are absolutely no clues around here."
How can we escape from here?
"It all seems to have reached a dead end now!"
Xia Sen was somewhat dejected. After searching for a long time, they had not found any way to escape and had been trapped here for many days.
Those people would occasionally bring them some food, but they longed to regain their freedom and didn't want to be trapped here any longer.
Xu Yuehuai said to Xia Sen, "Let's stay here for a while. Maybe we can slowly find clues to leave this place."
They encouraged each other and decided to stay there for the time being.
After being trapped for many more days, they suddenly discovered something unusual.
As time went by and the days passed, after being trapped here for a long time, they discovered some strange things.
For example, food and water are delivered regularly every day. The food and water are always in fixed quantities and there is never any difference between them. Everything is arranged in advance.
"Sister, don't you think the food they gave us seems to have some other meaning?"
“They always give us the same few items, and the quantities are always the same; there’s never been any change.”
Do you think someone is trying to send us a message?
Xia Sen said to Xu Yuehuai.
After hearing these words, Xu Yuehuai thought about them carefully.
Then, on the next occasion, she carefully noticed these unusual things around her.
For example, those people wouldn't allow them to leave the room, keeping them trapped inside. They hadn't paid them any attention since their king last summoned them.
They seemed to have been completely forgotten, as if they had no presence at all.
"How long do you intend to keep us locked up?"
"What will it take to get us released?"
"Where is your boss? Could we see him one more time?"
Xu Yuehuai spoke to those people, but they acted as if they hadn't heard him and completely ignored them.
Xia Sen had gotten used to it by now, so he didn't say anything more to them.
"Sister, don't waste your energy. They won't pay any attention to us."
"We're locked up here now, and there's probably no way we can escape."
"It's all settled now, sister, you should save your energy."
"Once I find a clue that we can escape, I'll take you away from here."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai sighed and leaned against the wall, wondering where there was a way to escape.
They searched for a long time afterward, but still couldn't find a place to escape.
It all seemed to be deliberately arranged. They were not harmed here, but their treatment was not particularly good either.
Each time those people brought food and water, they left immediately, afraid to stay there for even a second longer.
They barely spoke to them. Every time they tried to chat with them, the people acted like wooden figures and ignored them.
But in the days that followed, they would still leave a meal at the door, without giving them any other instructions, and then leave.
During this period of time, those people never entered the room, as if they were hiding from them. They were particularly wary of them, constantly observing everything they did, and never interacting with them.
