Lin Wanwan instructed Hua Nong to stand guard outside while she claimed she needed to change clothes, but in reality, she was preparing to travel back to the modern era in a last-minute effort to find help.
Thanks to the time dilation effect of the Space-Time Gate, she could have four times the amount of time available, allowing her to manage many things at her leisure.

The room was filled with the stench of blood. Lin Juhua lay on a bed made from a simple bamboo frame, her face pale as paper, exhausted, her limbs weak. Straw was laid beneath her, atop which was a mattress stained beyond recognition, her legs spread wide. The scene beneath her was a mess of blood, though while there was much, the blood was pale in color.
