The Imprisonment Cave had a peculiar quality: you could faintly hear sounds from the outside while inside, but no sound from inside could be heard on the outside.
After trying all sorts of methods to get out to no avail, Ao Wu gave up and lay on the ground, staring at the cave ceiling.
He had been in here for so many days that he had finished counting the illuminating Fluorite stones on the ceiling—and had even counted them several times over.
There were a total of three hundred and sixty-two Fluorite stones, thirty-one of which were broken. He'd have someone replace them once he got out.
"Sigh—"
That was his five thousand, one hundred and sixty-second sigh since entering the Imprisonment Cave.
Just as he finished sighing and was about to start counting again, the faint sound of voices suddenly came from outside the cave.
The voices were intermittent, but when Ao Wu pressed his ear to the stone door to listen closely, he was sure someone had arrived!
