I Opened a Restaurant in Honkai: Chapter 654

"Where are we... going?"

The heavy iron gate could not be opened, so Zhao Bai led her to the base of the wall where he had entered, to the hole made for dogs to crawl through.

"Pass through this wall, and you'll be free."

"This place... Seele had been here before..." she said hesitantly. Zhao Bai motioned for her not to speak yet and to first see whether she could crawl through. His shoulders had only been scraped a little, while Seele's shoulders were very narrow. She would definitely be able to crawl out with ease.
