"Listen, there is a courtyard ahead. When I bring you in later, I will lead the guards away. You take chance to sneak out and follow this road. Turn left at the intersection then keep going left. Someone is waiting for you there."

The masked man quickly whispered to Emily as they walked forward.

Emily looked around. She couldn't recall how she came here. Her brain was unbearably painful, and her ears were buzzing. It took her a lot of effort to hear him.

She did not understand why he would tell her this but had no time to ask in this situation.

She was brought to the courtyard and sent into a room. After the door was closed, she heard him talking to the people in the courtyard.

Emily pressed her aching head and looked out through the crack in the door. When they finished talking, the masked man left and the guards guarded the door on both sides.
