“—Let’s continue” Annan was unwavering in his eyes
It would be too naive to think this was enough to intimidate him
He hadcould turn him back
It was just a choice between death and pain Wasn’t that what life was all about?
Danton still did not show up
The scene in front of Annan’s eyes changed again
This ti disturbing noises
When Annan opened his eyes again, he realized that he had entered a dark world that looked like a colossal pen holder There were densely packed huht source
At the sa a thin rope
The rope see
Annan see
He looked down and saw that there were stillthe slender rope
