"It seems you're not too dull," Xu Mu chuckled.
"Did you already suspect something, sir?" asked Zhang Ergou in astonishment.
They had been dining together, and nothing had seemed unusual.
"Open the window and see for yourself," said Xu Mu.
Zhang Ergou, full of doubt, opened the window and peered outside. Both the streets and the residential area nearby were dead silent.
"There doesn't seem to be anything abnormal nearby, sir," said Zhang Ergou, puzzled.
"Think about it."
Xu Mu shook his head in disappointment and laid down on the bed.
"Think about it?"
Zhang Ergou understood that he must have overlooked something.
Upon reflection, he suddenly realized the problem.
It was too quiet!
When they arrived, there had been few people on the streets, but not none.
The nearby residential area still had lights on, and the voices of residents were audible. But now, everything had disappeared.
Right, there were also no sounds of insects chirping!
