The moment the whip was struck, my mind was still confused.
What's going on? Didn't I stay up late just now to catch up on PPT? The team leader insisted that I finish revising the fourth version of the plan at three o'clock in the morning. I took a sip of instant coffee while cursing, and then——
And then I'm standing here.
He was holding a two-finger-wide bullhide whip in his hand, and a man was kneeling in front of him.
To be precise, it was a man with his hands chained up and his upper body half-kneeling on the cold stone slab. His back was turned to me, his shoulder blades were sharp, and his waist was extremely narrow. The dim dungeon firelight reflected on him, like a prisoner sculpture.
My hands are still shaking.
Because there is a voice talking in my head. The voice has no emotion, but it is as clear as if it is close to the eardrum:
"Ding. The system's 'conditioner' has been bound to the host Su Mian."
"Newbie's task: slap target Lu Shen on the left cheek with 70% strength."
"Task time limit: Complete within five minutes. Timeout will erase it."
