Two Choices

"Woof woof woof---------" 

Blacky saw the thing inside the pond getting more agitatedly, and surging out. He barked at it, and the other party quieted down.

Sima You Yue patted Blacky gratefully. Then she said to the thing in the pond, "You've never gone out before?"

"Never." That thing seemed to be afraid of Blacky getting angry again. It spoke carefully, "From the moment I gained consciousness, they had sealed me in here. I've never gone out before." 

"From the moment you gained consciousness?" Si Yue was surprised. "Isn't it because you did bad things, so you got sealed?"

"Nothing of such!" The voice growled. It was not so polite to Si Yue. "I've never done anything. They kept me here for many years. I want to get out! I want to get out!"

"Pffffff---------" 

Mu Si was hurt by the thing's aura and spat out blood.

"Don't make noises!" Sima You Yue felt her organs tremble. She frowned and shouted.
