Skretil's Ignorance Walker

“Wow… this is…”

When Lu Ming opened her eyes again, she found herself in a dim cell. The cold, damp air and the hard stone floor made her feel very uncomfortable. When she tried to get up from the ground, she could only feel her body creaking.

"Lady Alice! You're awake! That's great!"

At this time, a familiar voice came from the side. Lu Ming turned around and saw Paulina in the cell next to her. She was leaning on the railing and looking at him worriedly.

Lu Ming also saw that Paulina's injuries had not yet fully recovered. Although she had received simple treatment and bandages, she still looked a little weak, which made Lu Ming feel distressed.

"Paulina, what are we doing..."

"Lord Alice, we've been caught..."

Paulina sadly showed Lu Ming the special shackles on her hands. These shackles could seal their magic power and prevent them from escaping. Lu Ming then saw that he also had one on his hand.

"Yeah……"

When he woke up, Lu Ming had already roughly guessed that this time not only did he fail to rescue Qia, but he even lost himself. It can be said that he had suffered a complete defeat.

"By the way, Chia! Where is she?"

"I'm here..."

Lu Ming began to care about Qia again at this time, but when she asked this question, Qia's voice came from behind Lu Ming.

"Qia! I'm glad you're okay."

Turning around, she saw Qia in another cell next to hers, which made Lu Ming feel a little relieved. Then she walked over to Qia and began to speak:

"Don't worry, he will come to rescue us. He has gone to gather people. If we just wait a little longer, we will all be saved."

At this time, Lu Ming was still fantasizing about being able to rescue them all, but after seeing the expression on Qia's face, Lu Ming became a little confused. He turned to look at Paulina and found that she had the same expression as Qia.

"What's wrong? What's with that look on your face? Don't you believe me? He promised me, and besides, aren't you and Jean lovers, Chia? He will definitely come to save you!"

"Stop talking."

Lu Ming was extremely nervous at this time, and she began to chatter incessantly to Qia, but Qia remained very calm and asked Lu Ming to stop talking.

"Do you really think he'll come to rescue us?"

"Why not? He will certainly not abandon us."

Seeing that Lu Ming still held onto unrealistic hopes, Qia sighed, and then slowly said to Lu Ming:

"When you were unconscious just now, your sister and her friends sent someone to say that they already knew about it and were gathering people, but not to rescue us, but to gradually withdraw from Xidao City."

"My sister? You know her? But that's not important. They must be lying to you. How do they know Jean's movements?"

"That's because they have an undercover agent among us! They even know exactly which bases the Hermitage has in West Island City. The reason why they asked you to rescue me is because they hope you can help him draw fire so that he can take his people away from here."

"What……"

After hearing what Qia said, Lu Ming shook his head absentmindedly. She didn't believe it, and she didn't dare to believe it. How could he abandon them? Even if he really didn't care about her, how could he abandon Qia?

"But...but aren't you lovers? How could he..."

"Who is in a relationship with a guy like that? Stop kidding!"

"Eh……"

Before Lu Ming finished speaking, Qia interrupted her. In the past, Qia was indeed inseparable from Rang because of the poisonous magic, but it was also because of this that Rang tortured Qia in private. At that time, Qia had no choice but to obey Rang like a dog. But now it is different. As long as she can get rid of the crime, she will have a free life in the future.

"I feel sick being with that guy. After all these years, I can finally escape from him..."

Completely ignoring Lu Ming's shocked expression, Qia began to talk to herself. After learning from Lu Ren and the others that Lu Ming was used as bait, Qia no longer had any psychological burden.

"how come……"

After hearing these words, Lu Ming fell into deep self-doubt. Ever since she joined the monastery, she saw that Chia and Rang were always inseparable, and there seemed to be no barriers between them on weekdays. Although sometimes Chia would show a painful expression, Rang would quickly calm her down.

But is all this fake? The harmony and tranquility he saw were just waves floating on the water, and what was in the abyss below, Lu Ming never knew, and never cared about it.

"But……"

"I have decided to assist them. They are now on their way to capture Jean. When they come back, I will tell them the location of the headquarters of the monastery..."

"Are you crazy?! Are you planning to betray the Priory? Are you planning to betray the life-saving grace that the president showed you?!"

Upon hearing that Qia was planning to betray the monastery, Lu Ming immediately and excitedly put his hand through the gap in the iron fence, then grabbed Qia by the collar and began to question her.

"It was the president who saved you from slavery, but you're planning to betray him! How could you be so ungrateful!?"

"enough!"

At this time, Qia was also a little excited. She broke free from Lu Ming's restraints, then stood up and looked at Lu Ming with anger in her eyes.

"What do you know? Yes! He was the one who freed me from slavery, but so what? Haven't I been a slave to him and that guy for so many years? You are a princess of the monastery, so of course you have no worries all day long! But have you ever thought about my feelings?"

Qia became more and more excited as she spoke. She grabbed Lu Ming's hands and left red marks on his wrists, making Lu Ming look a little scared.

"You must have never experienced being treated like an animal, right? In order to avoid being tortured by the drug addiction, I have to serve that guy every night, begging for mercy. I am just a tool for him to vent his lust! He would find different women every day, and then bring them back for me and those women to serve him, so that he could enjoy the feeling of being the best. In his eyes, I am just a rag that can be used at will. He would use me to wipe him when he was tired. You don't know any of this! But you want me to die for the monastery like you?"

"I……"

Lu Ming was a little scared at this time. Qia, who was usually gentle and kind to her, became extremely ferocious and kept yelling at her hysterically, which made Lu Ming feel at a loss.

"By the way, didn't you say you have no relatives here? Then why does it matter if your sister is here? And with her around, you don't have to worry about your future life at all. She can even make sure you don't get any punishment. But it's different for me! If I do nothing, I'll be beheaded in a few days! I finally got rid of that guy, and I don't want to die yet! I still have a long life ahead of me! I can live freely in the future, without being manipulated by people like you, so no matter what, I must live!"

After venting her anger, Qia let go of Lu Ming, then lay down on the iron bed in her cell, panting, and never paid any attention to Lu Ming again.

Lu Ming just looked at Qia's back silently. She had never thought that Qia would say these words. This made her feel very sad. She could only sit there and cry silently.
