Chapter 66: Light – I wish I could lock you up.
Zhi Qi felt as if she had been trapped in an incredibly long dream.
In this dream, she seemed to have inexplicably crossed into a war-torn era reminiscent of Somalia or Syria, surrounded by the chaos of a world at war, with bullets flying everywhere and car fragments scattered about.
She felt sharp pains all over her body, and fresh blood oozed from her fair, broken skin.
Zhi Qi winced in pain, clutching her wound as she struggled not to cry while running.
She didn’t know where to run to, but she sensed that staying there would cost her life.
Exhausted and in pain, she gasped for breath, feeling as though her legs were weighed down by lead… She could barely continue. Why was she in this place? Where was Jiang Qi? Where were her parents? What about her brother?
Wasn’t she on her way back from Yingzhou to Linlan? Why had she suddenly ended up here?
Zhi Qi was both tired and scared, the heat of the sun scorching her wounds, making her feel like she might melt away. Who could come to save her?
“Help! Help!” Zhi Qi shook her head repeatedly, her pale lips muttering softly.
