As the old saying goes, when people drown, men are found face down, and women face up.
This is due to the difference in body fat between men and women. While not always accurate, it holds true in most cases.
So when Zhao Lin found the body floating face up, a dreadful suspicion formed in his mind. 'It couldn't be Liu Lian, could it?'
Just as he feared, the deceased was indeed Liu Lian, and her death had been horrifically brutal.
Liu Lian was stark naked, not a single part of her body left unscathed. Her lower body was a mangled mess of flesh and blood, and two pieces of flesh had been carved from her chest...
Her expression was a mask of despair, terror, and indignation. It was clear she had suffered inhuman torture before her death.
Tao Yan took one look and his mind went blank with a buzzing sound. He even forgot to maintain his Water Manipulation Skill, only snapping out of it when the icy seawater washed over his neck.
