Yi Pei had stayed here until evening without returning to her own room.
Meanwhile, Xu Huo had been sitting by the window the whole time, observing the outside through a lifted corner of the curtain.
In fact, there wasn't much to see outside; the hotel was situated at the end of a crossroad in the county town. Just a few steps further was a bare stretch of road, with a forest beyond.
Opposite the main entrance were a few businesses which had closed their doors as soon as night fell.
There was a street lamp in front of the hotel, and the next one was about twenty meters away. Now that night had fallen, the areas between the lights were growing indistinct, and there were hardly any people around.
The locals had already started to lock up their homes one after another, and the players who had been out wandering had returned to the hotel.
After night deepened, a fog slowly began to envelop the outside.
