After Erinys spoke, the dark, lightless space immediately gained shape and color.
It was a scene utterly familiar to Aiwass—
This place was located at the intersection of Lohar District and White Queen District, known as Judiciary Square. It was where he passed by on his way to the Pelican Bar.
He looked up to see the setting sun obliquely hanging in the sky, with thick clouds above. The dim yellow light spilled onto the gloomy streets, carrying the moist premonition of an impending storm.
But Aiwass quickly realized something was amiss.
Despite being a bustling area, there was not a single person on the streets. There was a deathly stillness.
This was no illusion.
Because at this moment, time stood still.
The nine of them sat squarely in the middle of the main road, surrounding an illuminated hourglass.
Aiwass noted that only the old man and Sherlock appeared completely unaffected by this. The rest, including himself, seemed more or less surprised.
