518 Is it a good idea? (1/2)

Wang Yin was confident that Red room was the only solution to keep Gao Lan Mei alive. Especially if she has the protection of the Prince of the Underworld, so they just all patiently waited.

While they were all waiting, Gao Lan Mei was just there, inside the room, without showing any signs of movement.

Hours turn to days, then weeks, before months went by without her not showing any signs of waking up.

After months of silence inside the Red Room, Wang Yin and rest were all expecting that Gao Lan Mei would be coming out soon.

However, no one would expect that after the black smoke was removed entirely from her body, Gao Lan Mei's flesh slowly started to breakdown.

Her flesh slowly dissolved before evaporating in the air. Gao Lan Mei's body looks like it was deteriorating, before turning into dust.

While this was happening, Gao Lan Mei also had her own internal struggle…

'Do you really want to live and be free? A female voice asked softly.

Gao Lan Mei was startled after hearing that voice. 'That sounds so familiar…' She thought to herself. Who was it?

The voice was speaking through her consciousness, so Gao Lan Mei tried to open her mouth to respond but unable to.

She then tried to open her eyes next to see who was the one talking but could not. It was painful to do so. Gao Lan Mei had thought that she was already used to any severe pain. It was bothersome and annoying to feel the pain, but it still proves that one was alive.

Aside from the pain, Gao Lan Mei felt like she was not lying on any surface as if she was floating. Because of this, she became worried.

'Are you afraid? Why? Pain is necessary. Everyone wants to live and be free even if they only exist for a short time. So short, it just looks like a dot compared to the thread of time for eternity.' The female voice continued, asking curiously.

Gao Lan Mei wanted to frown, but still unable to do so. 'I am not afraid, but you are noisy.' For her, if the woman was not willing to help, the busybody might as well go away.

After chuckling, 'It was the first time I was called busybody.' The woman noted amusedly. This also confirmed that the woman could hear Gao Lan Mei's thoughts.

'Go away! If you don't have anything better to do, just leave me alone!' Gao Lan Mei screamed inside her head. She was busy trying to figure out how to survive, and someone was using her as entertainment. Unacceptable!

The woman hummed, 'I do have better things to do. For example, I must help you. But…'

'You can help me?' Gao Lan Mei asked suspiciously.

'Yes, I can. The problem is, I am not sure if it is a good idea. What do you think? Is it a good idea?'

'Of course!' Gao Lan Mei still felt skeptical talking to the woman. However, she did not ignore the part where she felt like that woman was someone very familiar. It was never a good idea to trust strangers with your life, but she does not have a choice.

The woman hummed, before speaking slowly, 'But first, you have to promise me one thing…'
