Lu Ban pushed open the door and heard the sound in the bar suddenly disappear, as if it had abruptly stopped doing business, silent and soundless.
Had it been before, Lu Ban might have been wary, concerned whether there was some eerie rule in place, yet in this world of diminished mystery and supernatural instances, it was just the opening of a door.
Nothing to it.
He peeked inside the bar and discovered that the lights weren't on either, just pitch blackness.
Only the scant moonlight pouring in through the windows allowed him to make out part of the space inside the bar.
He tried to get a closer look.
"Is anybody there?"
Lu Ban asked again.
No response.
He took two more steps.
At that moment, Lu Ban noticed what seemed to be a pair of eyes watching him.
Those eyes were behind the bar, like a voyeur hidden in the shadows, only that pair of eyes glimmering faintly as if reflecting the moonlight.
