"Da da da—"
"Bang bang bang—"
"Boom boom boom—"
Lu Baoshen's knocking became increasingly agitated, the heavy sounds echoing far through the sewers, unsettling in the otherwise silent environment.
Many people hidden in the shadows heard the knocking and simultaneously crouched down, turning their dubious eyes toward the source of the noise.
The black steel door opened in an instant, and a delicate, pale hand reached out, grabbed Lu Baoshen by the collar, and quickly pulled him inside before softly closing the door.
"Click."
Darkness returned to calm, without stirring a ripple.
Having entered the cave, Lu Baoshen's gaze immediately fell upon the girl in front of him, clad in a plain Daoist robe.
Both were of similar height, one in a pristine Daoist robe like a pure fairy descended from heaven, the other in a blood-stained robe, resembling a wicked devil returned from hell.
At the moment their eyes met, a nameless emotion quietly sprouted between their gazes.
