After purchasing two energy bars, Yumo had no intention of lingering and quickly turned to leave. However, before she could take more than a few steps, the sound of intermittent footsteps came from behind her.
Hearing these footsteps, Yumo couldn't help but pause, instinctively stopping in her tracks. And almost the moment Yumo stopped, the footsteps behind her also abruptly ceased.
After a few seconds of silence, Yumo started walking again. The footsteps then once more echoed in her ears.
When Yumo stopped, the footsteps disappeared. When she started walking, the footsteps reappeared.
Stop, they vanish. Walk, they emerge.
Moreover, when Yumo sped up, the footsteps behind her became more urgent. When she slowed down, the frequency of the footsteps reaching her ears also plummeted. Those footsteps always maintained a certain distance from Yumo. The creator of the footsteps followed Yumo closely without uttering a word.
