Bab 543: Shadow Cleansing

'It hurts!'

The young boy wanted to scream as he continued squeezing out every drop of Enigma he had as soon as it recovered. However, he held back in fear of punishment.

The crazy man who kidnapped him wasn't a fan of physical punishment, but his alternative methods were just as bad, if not worse.

Food deprivation was merely the tip of the iceberg. The young boy had once tried to strike out even at the cost of food, but that day, he didn't sleep a wink as the disheveled man forced a pair of headphones into his ears, streaming loud music that blew the sleep away.

'Mom, dad… Anyone, just do something!'

Ever since that day, the young boy's will to resist was completely drained. The only thing he could do every day as his body protested was pray for help.

Today, he also thought that things would end as usual, with him suffering to the end before silently crying himself to sleep. However, the answer to his prayer came sooner than expected.
