Chapter 58 (2/2)
Ning Xuemo lowered her eyes and did not say anything.
In her previous life, she had seen the cruelty of the world. During her training as a secret service agent, she had been unlucky and got captured by the enemies. She was then subjected to many tortures methods. Be it drinking chili water, sitting on the torture-rack or the electrical chair, she had experienced all of them before.
She had also caught enemy agents in the past and had inflicted the aforementioned torture methods on them. However, they were living in a modern society after all, under the constant influences from the media and public opinion. Those torture methods did not include ones used in ancient times.
However, from what she saw, it was enough to convince her that this place was definitely like the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Even the Qing’s top ten tortures could not compare to this cruelty…
These people are mutilated to the point they do not seem human anymore.
Such torture would ensure that she would lose a layer of skin and flesh!
She retreated back a step. Even if she remained stubborn and proud, if her appearance became that of a monster like those prisoners, would there be any meaning to keep on living?
What to do? Just what should she do?
Wait for rescue? She knew far too few people in this world. Right now, the only one who really treated her well was the crown prince, but he had disappeared somewhere. He might not be able to rush over here tonight. Even if he could, he might not be able to help her get out of this situation.
Furthermore, this was obviously a plot against her, a plot that was meant to completely destroy her. The perpetrators had most likely sealed off all the possibilities of someone saving her.
Otherwise, Ji Yunhuang would have already arrived earlier…
She did not believe that the crown prince would not have heard about the news. He must have been held up by something or someone.
