The little girl in the white princess dress was taller than Ke'er, with a bigger skeletal frame, and her hair was golden, seemingly well-kept at first but now somewhat disheveled.
Yan Junze didn't speak, halting his steps and silently staring at the motionless little girl.
There wasn't a sound around, and after Yan Junze stopped, the footsteps also vanished, creating a silence so profound it was terrifying.
Thankfully, there were wall lamps that allowed visibility in the space, rather than total darkness, which would have induced greater panic.

The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it would definitely be masked by other noises if there were any.
But in the silence of the moment, he could hear it clearly.
