Disappearance
It is a long night for them, dealing with Clover and Jingyuan. They couldn't check on Shul at all, but the morning after, when Aron goes to look for her in her room, he doesn't find anything. He immediately takes a look around, checking in the kitchen and by the springs, but nothing, so he goes to ask Jing Yuan and the others if they have seen her. Turns out she is nowhere to be found and there are no tracks either. Another thing they eventually notice is lost is Cyno's phone that she took the previous night for that phonecall.

«Not always what is hard is tougher to break. But I won't insist. After all, we are masters of our own decisions, even when wrong.» He returns to sit, mostly to show that he is not scared nor respectful towards them.
«In the end, it will all be placed upon the scales.» There is a reason if some sentences are his voice lines: he loves to say them.
He is not touched the slightest but looks at She'er, who shows no reaction to their words. He earned his trust again after what happened in Lianxi but it was due the corruption that he did what he did.
"Let's go, She'e." Orchid starts to leave, She'er follows without looking back.
Zhongli waits for them to leave and approaches the bars. "Cyno, I have something to tell you. It might help us greatly..." He gives the corridor a glance to make sure no one is around. "I believe She'er was corrupted by the plague...there are signs of it all over him. Also, Cyno...you can bound with him, there is the possibility. His elements reject Orchid."
He looks in ZhongLi's direction as he tells him those things. «I felt a sort of connection with him, but it doesn't seem like he is willing to pay mind to it. Maybe if we could meet him alone, without that nefarious creature to follow him…»
Right now we need a plan to escape from here. Before this night passes, we have to contact the others and let someone come and get us once we break free.'' Assuming they can break free, but unfortunately there won't be way for them to.
''Maybe the water springs...it could purify him...'' He remains thoughtful.
«We risk them all to be caught, if they come here… maybe we could find a way to get you out, when you'll recover your powers you can come back for me.» Maybe he underestimates his psycho boyfriend.
«We would have to find a way to lure him there, though. But it would be too dangerous, what if he managed to get Clover or WooPil…»
