XiaoYao: Reporter Ning Qi’s Bound Interrogation (No. 6)

In a shadowy stairwell, the enigmatic Lao Qi encounters a woman cloaked and masked. A subtle whirring emanates from beneath her disguise, and her hands, hidden in her pockets, betray an unusual stiffness. Upon reaching his secluded lair, Lao Qi removes her coverings, revealing a bespectacled woman whose mouth is tightly sealed with Japanese-style adhesive tape. It appears Lao Qi was hired to "escort" her to this location.

Their "cordial" exchange uncovers her identity: Ning Qi, a journalist. She has already endured a series of escalating encounters, including being stretched between four points, the removal of her socks, and playful torment, all part of an ongoing "dialogue."

This installment promises further revelations as Ning Qi faces her captor's agenda, her journalistic curiosity now a dangerous liability in this high-stakes game of information and control.
