The golden hue entered Gu Yao’s head, slowly merging with her.
"Nie Jiuque, this time, let’s see how you handle this."
Zuo Yan’s vicious voice filled with provocation and smugness echoed, in the darkness, a faint light flickered in his sinister eyes.
Then his figure disappeared into the darkness, silently, just as he had come.
Raindrops as large as beans hit the ground, disturbing the dust, yet enough to only disturb the dust.
A flash of lightning illuminated half the sky, followed by deafening thunder.
A cold sensation came from her face, the raindrops hitting Gu Yao’s face caused a slight pain.
A shrill, desperate scream issued from Gu Yao’s lips, awakening her with a start.
She opened her eyes to darkness.
Gu Yao stared blankly at a spot in the darkness, her soul seemingly yet to fully merge with her body, akin to having just woken but with her brain just powering on.
Gu Yao seemed to have suffered some kind of shock and stared blankly at the same place, absent-minded, as if unaware she was indeed awake unless one noticed her wide-open eyes.
A sharp pain surged through her brain, and Gu Yao reflexively clutched her head tightly.
Yet Gu Yao soon discovered that the pain did not only emanate from her brain, but more from her heart.
Gu Yao sat on the ground, holding her head, looking deeply in pain.
In the darkness, the faint golden glow over Gu Yao’s body appeared extraordinarily stark.
The golden light seemed alive, continually trying to merge into Gu Yao’s body, but Gu Yao, as if knowing what it was, resisted incessantly, unwilling to accept it, trying to expel the golden light from her body.
"I don’t want it, don’t want it..."
Gu Yao held her head, shaking it, crying out desperately.
"I beg you, don’t, don’t..."
In the darkness, Gu Yao struggled against the golden light, the rain fell harder and harder, to the point of almost drowning out her desperate cries.
No matter how Gu Yao resisted, her body could not expel what rightfully belonged to it.
The moment the soul fully merged into the body, Gu Yao shuddered all over, a cry of despair issuing from her throat.
Memories rushed into her brain like a tide, occupying their rightful place within her mind.
Scenes of familiarity flashed before her eyes...
"No, I don’t want it, get out, get out..."
Gu Yao punched her own head, attempting to drive those memories out, but it was useless.
In the darkness, Gu Yao sat on the ground, yelling and crying like a madwoman.
Past scenes flashed through her mind like slides, finally freezing on that night...
Even after having died once, Gu Yao couldn’t face everything that happened that night.
And for Gu Yao, who recalled everything, the events of that night felt as if they were just yesterday, so profound yet desperate.
"You are not my sister, you were picked up by me, you don’t carry the surname Gu!"
That night, Gu Sheng crazily dragged her into the room, throwing her violently onto the bed, nearly unhinged as he tore at her clothes, that phrase marking the beginning of all nightmares...
The despair of that time, the sensations and emotions, Gu Yao felt them all over again, without missing a beat.

As she did back then, she screamed desperately and helplessly.
