The footsteps outside seemed to stomp right on her heart, making Bai Zhi's pulse pound along with them. THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.
Bai Zhi's eyes were glued to the door, not blinking for a second. The extreme tension made her hold her breath involuntarily.
Just as the footsteps reached the door, another voice suddenly called out from outside, "What did that woman say?"
The footsteps stopped abruptly, and a displeased voice rang out, "Weren't you supposed to be watching her? Why are you running all over the place?"
The person who had just asked the question seemed to laugh sheepishly. "Hey, nature calls, you know? Besides, she's still out cold and tied up. Even if she woke up, it's fine. The whole place is sealed shut. She can't escape."
While the two were talking outside, Bai Zhi quickly asked the System, 'Is there any way for me to escape?'
System: "Apologies, Host. I am the Godly Rich Spending System. I have no way to help you escape."
