The voice, full of resentment, echoed around the alley: "I am human."

"Humans cannot survive in the darkness," Lu Li replied.

The rotation paused briefly for a few seconds and then continued, with the neck in the darkness twisting like a twisted rope, round after round: "If I'm not human, would you not save me..."

"I would."
