A cruel fate have fallen onto a innocent life of a young peasant girl, Meihua.
At dawn, someone had told her to come pick up her wages at Longwei Manor, she made this morning from selling her artworks, but that was a inevitable lie.
Thinking less of why she's getting paid earlier than usual. She heads straight to Longwei Manor to get her business done.
Arriving inside the manor, there seems to be no one at the front desk because the place is usually closed before 6pm.
But Meihua has access to the manor since Mr.Rei favored her so much and cherish her beautiful artworks besides her average standard looks.
Meihua went up to the front desk and tippy toe over to see if Mr.Rei was below the desk, trying to jumpscare her.
But he didn't do that today.
Meihua thought if he's not here then he could possibly be upstairs in one of the rooms.
"Maybe Mr.Rei is upstair, checking up on the recent antiques."
As Meihua was on the second floor, she heard a noise that seemed somewhat uncomfortable to her ears. The sound was faint but struggling for a gasp of air.
At this moment, Meihua felt unsettled, walking quietly toward where the noise was coming from and opened the door slowly.
From afar distance, Meihua witnessed a tall man who wore an mysterious black cloak, slitting Mr.Rei throat to silence him while covering his mouth and nose.
Blood was dripping down on the unknown man daggers.
Frightened from what she saw, her eyes widen and almost screamed but held it back with her hands.
Once Meihua flinched, the killer looked directly at her.
She thought to herself.
"I'm gonna die!"
Getting up quickly to escape as soon as possible but she was caught by the killer.
"Don't scream, young lady. This won't hurt." He stabbed her right arm with a black tranquilizer.
"Let me g-go..." Meihua couldn't get out of his grip and suddenly, felt dizziness.
