Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 83: The man

"I have to see the man that tried to hurt the shadow guard," Senja blurted out.She could sense Elder Dam wanting to reject her wish after she finished her words, however, he didn't say anything and Senja appreciated his self-restraint this time.

"There's nothing you can do, even if you see him now," Xiao Tianyou rejected her this time.

"I still have to see him," Yes, she needs to see him. She needed to figure out if there was any connection between him and the maples forest in her vision.

"Err but Senja, I don't think you'd want to see him in his current state," Utara anxiously said, "He is not in his best state right now."

It was the truth.In order to fish more information from him, they had tortured him pretty badly.

Senja rolled her eyes, "I see, as long as he can talk, it would be fine."

Upon seeing there weren't any rejections from Xiao Tianyou or elder Dam, Utara made a suggestion, "Then, I will accompany you there."

"Sure, but" Senja hesitated getting out of bed.

"What?" Utara probed.She was the one who anxiously wanted to meet the perpetrator but now she looked hesitant to do so.

"Can I have another bowl please?" She looked at elder Dam and then looked at the empty bowl on his hand with puppy eyes.

"" Elder Dam, Xiao Tianyou and Utara all stared at her in exasperation.

***

After Senja finished her meal, Xiao Tianyou, Elder Dam and Utara brought her to the prison. Nobody talked along the way and Elder Dam no longer objected Senja's involvement.

As they arrived at the prison, Xiao Tianyou brought them in and walked along a narrow walkway. On the right and left side, there were small rooms for the prisoners however, at this time, all the rooms were empty.

The air circulation inside the prison was really bad, the air smelled damp and the stench of excrements was strong. The smell got worse when they went deeper through the walkway until they reached a small room at the end.

There were 2 guards guarding the room and they showed respect to all four of them before one of them opened the door. Astrong foul smell assaultedSenja's nose the moment the door was wide open.

There he was, the unknown soldier from the previous night, that Senja saw was trying to kill the shadow guard outside her window.

He was indeed in a sorry state. Dry blood was all over his face and his robe was torn open, displaying the injuries he had. Just how cruellydid they torture him? The soldier seemed as though he couldn't move a single finger now.

He was laying motionlessly at the corner of the room. Only his chest, moving up and down, indicated that he was still alive.

Senja froze on the spot upon seeing his current state. She had prepared herself mentally for the worse scenario, but to actually seehim like this, she couldn't stop her body shiveringin fear.

She staggered one step backwards and averted her gaze, her mind was in disarray.

Elder Dam stood in front of her to block the view and held onto her arms in case her legs give away.

"Let's go," Elder Dam spoke softly, his voice was laced with concern for Senja. However, Senja shook her head firmly.

"I am fine grandfather."

She took a deep breath and walked slowly, approaching the curled-up body on the ground. From the looks of it, it seemed like he was unconscious.

Although she wasn't comfortable seeing his current state, Senja gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Digging out information from him was her priority right now.

Senja crouched down in order to check on him. She shook his body lightly but there was no response from him. She tilted her head to look at Xiao Tianyou.

"He is unconscious," She said as a matter of fact.

Xiao Tianyou didn't say anything, he just looked at to the guards outside and they understood his message. A moment later, they brought a bucket full of water and ruthlessly pouredit on the man's face.
