Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Five: Alone Awake

Groggy and disoriented, Gao Yang woke up with a severe headache and a strong, fishy stench in his nostrils. It was only after a long while of trying to open his eyes that he realized they were actually open; he couldn't see a thing simply because he was in complete darkness.

Instinctively, Gao Yang tried to feel his head, only to discover when he attempted to move his hands that they were firmly bound behind his back. Only then did Gao Yang realize that he was in a terrible predicament, a very terrible one indeed.

Gao Yang struggled to recall what had happened but his mind was muddled, as if filled with mush, and he couldn't remember anything. Furthermore, his head was throbbing painfully. After a while, as if suddenly jolted by electricity, Gao Yang abruptly remembered why he had ended up in this situation.
