Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

"Yu Yaqing?"

After a long silence, Su Man called out to her from below.

"Yu Yaqing, are you alright?"

…

She finally snapped back to reality, wanting to speak, but found her throat dry and hoarse.

Yu Yaqing closed her eyes to collect herself, and replied, "I'm fine…"

"What's up there? Is it safe?" Su Man asked again.

Yu Yaqing slowly exhaled, calmed her emotions, and opened her eyes again—

"Up there…up there is a very large room, very dark, with some braziers for lighting, but the fires inside are almost out… Around, there are…seven torture racks. I didn't see Bluebeard."

She crawled out a little further, lifting her body to get a wider view.

At that moment, she noticed a white figure lying on the floor ahead, and her body immediately froze.

"Don't come up yet." Yu Yaqing said with a solemn expression, staring at the figure, "There's someone ahead, possibly Zhao Lanfen. I'll go take a look first. If there's no problem, then you come up."

Su Man below was silent for two seconds, then said, "Be careful."

She couldn't just rush over to help, because a group of companions was waiting for her to bring back news from below the passage.

Yu Yaqing cautiously crawled out of the passage, slowly stood up, and walked step by step towards the figure.

As she got closer, she realized it wasn't Zhao Lanfen, but a man.

A man who was unconscious.

He was wearing a medieval classical white shirt, with wide sleeves like lanterns, and the collar of the shirt was covered with intricate ruffled lace, exquisite and flamboyant.

He looked haggard, with pale skin and weak breathing.

Yu Yaqing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although she was exceptionally bold, even more courageous than ordinary men, she still subconsciously didn't want to directly face brutal or bloody scenes.

Yu Yaqing returned to the entrance of the passage and said to the person below, "It's an unconscious man, doesn't seem dangerous. You can come up now."

Su Man climbed up upon hearing this.

As soon as she came up, she was also shocked by the scene before her, her body hair standing on end, and she said with extreme disgust, "…This is really perverted!"

Yu Yaqing looked at the torture devices, her expression also stunned, "Unbelievable, isn't it? Men and women are both human beings…yet they can make such things, as if…as if they take pleasure in torturing and tormenting women. What do you think those men are thinking? Weren't they born of mothers?"

"You can't say it like that…" Su Man frowned, examining the torture devices, "These are all from medieval Europe, it was a dark period, full of plunder and slaughter, with no laws, no order, and people were more barbaric and brutal at that time. If it were now, these things would definitely not exist!"

Yu Yaqing smiled sadly and said softly, "It's just that you haven't encountered it. If women want to get rid of the enslavement of men, they must be stronger than them!"

Su Man didn't want to talk to her about men and women at this time, frowned and looked around, and asked, "Is this the third floor? Such a big room, why didn't we find it before?"

"The door is here." Yu Yaqing found the door, grasped the doorknob, and pulled it open—

Outside the door was a wall.

She was stunned for a moment, then reached out to push it, and found that this wall was movable and could be completely rotated 180 degrees!

"So the mechanism is here." Su Man also exclaimed in amazement.

The two women worked together to move the stone wall 90 degrees. The stone wall stood in the middle, forming two exits, and outside was the corridor on the third floor!

Yu Yaqing understood, "If we can't open the door from the inside, even if we find traces of the mechanism on the third floor, we won't be able to get in, because only when the door on the inside is opened will the stone wall have enough space to rotate."

Su Man walked out, looked at both sides of the corridor, and said, "I'll go down and notify them."
