One end of the thick iron chain is connected to the wall, and the other end is tied to the girl's neck.

The chain is quite long, so the girl's range of activities is quite wide, covering less than half of the basement.

Within its range of activities, there are toilets, food, water, changes of clothes and other items.

Mamiya saw the girl, and the girl naturally saw Mamiya and Yoshitomo.

Looking at Mamiya and Yoshitaka walking towards her slowly, panic appeared on the girl's face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But after seeing clearly that the leader was Yoshitomo, the look of panic on the girl's face slowly dissipated and she became slightly calmer.

"Atake, don't be afraid, it's me, Yoshitomo." Yoshitomo quickened his pace slightly, then knelt on one knee in front of the girl...that is, Atake.

"Yoshitomo-sama..." The girl looked timidly at Mamiya, who was standing behind Yoshitaka, "Who is this..."

At this time, Mamiya secretly thought in his heart:

It seems that what Yoshitomo told me before that he often chats with this girl is not a lie.

Based on the scene before him, it is not difficult to see that this girl trusts Yoshitomo.

"Don't be afraid, this is my brother, he is here to rescue you with me."

"This is our first meeting." Mamiya bowed to Atake, "I'm here, Mamiya Kuro. Don't be afraid, just like Yoshitomo said, I'm here to rescue you."

Now the distance between Mamiya and Atake is only a short distance away, so Mamiya can see Atake's appearance more clearly.

He is only about 15 years old, and his appearance is not good-looking, but not ugly either.

She was wearing clean clothes, and although her complexion was not very good, her spirit was still much better than Mamiya imagined.

Mamiya originally thought that the girl's mental state would be very bad after being locked up in this dark basement for so long and having her stomach opened frequently to remove her bile.

Yoshitomo seemed to have seen through what Mamiya was thinking at this time, and he explained aloud:

"Every time my father takes out the bile, he will first give A-Zhu a powerful drug to relieve his pain... Ah, I'm sorry, A-Zhu, I won't say any more."

Yoshitomo's explanation came to an abrupt end because when Atake in front of him heard the word "gallbladder" from his mouth, his cheeks suddenly turned extremely pale, and his body started to tremble.

"Let's talk about these words slowly later." Mamiya said, "First give this child the chain..."

Snap, snap, snap, snap...

Suddenly, footsteps sounded from behind Mamiya and Yoshinori, interrupting Mamiya's words.

The moment they heard the footsteps, both Mamiya and Yoshitomi's expressions changed.

The sound of footsteps came from the dark place behind the two of them where the candlelight could not reach them.

As the footsteps sounded, a figure slowly appeared from the darkness.

The person who emerged from the darkness was a middle-aged man wearing a black and purple sword on his waist.
