City of Exotic Beasts.

Summary

In a dimly lit house, Dou Hu and Blue Dragon seek Sha La, a woman connected to Lilia. After failing to get a response, Wuse forcefully enters, revealing a frail Sha La who initially attacks them with an axe. Wuse calms her using a sedative and attempts to hypnotize her to uncover her distress about her daughter, Lilia.
