It was late at night. The small village was quiet. Occasionally, the sound of dogs barking would pierce through the silence.
Yun Jiuge and Zi Shang sneaked into Official Liu's residence.
After using her consciousness to scan the whole residence, Yun Jiuge did not discover any supernatural creature nor the two children mentioned by the townsfolk.
Official Liu was snoring on his bed, sound asleep. He Hua, on the other hand, was lost in thought with her eyes wide open. Although she had been lying on the bed for a long time, she could not fall asleep.
At this time, she heard a thud from outside, followed by light knocks on the window.
He Hua was surprised. She raised her head to look at the window and saw the red string which she had seen that morning, jutting out of the window crack.
