Shen Luo quickly placed the book on the bed, quietly walked to the door, slightly opened it after unlocking the door, and looked out a few times. The narrow corridor was quiet, with no one in sight.
He scratched his head, locked the door again, went to the windowsill, and opened the window. The verdant banyan tree in the courtyard immediately appeared before him, and likewise, no one else was seen.
"What's going on? I definitely heard someone talking just now…" Shen Luo mumbled to himself as he latched the window.
Just a moment ago, he had heard a resonant voice in his ear, seeming to recite something like "Wrong then Right". It echoed in his mind like a bell tolling, making his consciousness feel momentarily blurred.
"Could it be that I've been too tired these days and I'm hallucinating?" Shen Luo rubbed his temples, returned to the bedside, and reached out to pick up the half-rolled book from the bed again.
Then all of sudden, he heard a voice again:
"Qu Zequan..."
