When Wen Xishu and Mariko were alone in the room, he had no intention of challenging the stern review. But Mariko kept posing.
Wen Xishu felt like he had bought a peacock that was now showing off its feathers to its owner.
Fortunately, the TV in the room turned on soon after.
This scene startled Mariko.
Wen Xishu noticed Mariko's reaction.
Why... would Mariko be afraid of the TV?
The TV did indeed turn on suddenly, but that shouldn't be enough to scare her.
Wen Xishu had discovered earlier that the TV was broken; the remote couldn't turn it on, and neither could the buttons.
But now, the TV turned on by itself.
The image on the TV was of a girl being... brutally assaulted.
Her face was indistinct, but she had long hair.
"Her hair is as long as yours," Wen Xishu said.
Mariko trembled, and her facial expression began to look strange, as if she were frightened yet dazed.
"But her face is beaten beyond recognition... it shouldn't be you, right?"
