"Okay!" And so, people started to take action. Some ran back to gather the straw on the ground, as well as bedding and other burnable items, placing them all at the cell door as instructed by Tang Wanwan.

"Quick, everyone, come up, hold hands one by one."
Tang Wanwan had already pried open the skylight. Cold wind blew in from outside, and stars twinkled in the sky, watching the scene without comprehension.
Out of six people, five had made it out. Unexpectedly, the madman refused to leave no matter what.
