"It seemed the Pollution concentration here wasn't high."
Generally, Second Era ruins had little to no Pollution. What she saw before her matched her understanding.
The trembling beneath their feet grew stronger and stronger. The two teachers knew they could no longer stay here, especially since the girl on the right was gradually showing signs of waking up.
"This is bad."
Clang—
Another snapping sound rang out. A ripple spread from the girl's slender arm, shaking the other end of the Iron chain into two pieces as well. Her eyelids twitched, then her eyes slowly opened.
By then, the two teachers who had just fled outside the building could already clearly feel the cold, sinister pressure coming from behind them.
"It's over. She's awake."
Who exactly was this girl inside the ruins? No one knew. But after so many years of research, the relevant personnel at the academy had gained some understanding of her. The girl had been sealed away. A seal meant that she had possessed astonishing power in life, forcing the people of that era to deal with her in such a manner.
Of course, there could have been other reasons for sealing her away, such as simple punishment.
She had crossed several eras and endured a million years, yet she still looked vividly alive, her flesh constantly brimming with vitality. How terrifying was that?
Heavy Iron chains still bound her frail body. The chains were thicker than her arms, and the slightest movement produced the resounding scrape and drag of metal.
Ding!
At a certain moment, her arm shifted slightly, and the inside of the Iron chains was affected by some unknown force, turning into countless fragments that clattered onto the ground.
The girl swayed as she rose to her feet, her head still hanging low.
