Xie Xunzhi clung tightly to Xie Mizhi.
The entire room was pitch black, with only faint slivers of light seeping through the crack underneath the old wooden door.
Xie Mizhi cried so hard she couldn't catch her breath, trembling with fear.
From childhood, she had always been coddled by the adults in her life.
She had never been in such a dark environment before, not even able to sleep without a light on at night.
Now, holding onto her brother felt like grasping a lifeline, and she dared not let go.
Afraid that if she did, her brother too, would disappear.
Xie Xunzhi was also very scared, but seeing how tense and frightened his sister was, he knew that he absolutely, absolutely could not lose his composure at this time.
While comforting his sister, he fumbled around in the dark room, initially feeling nothing but thick layers of dust.
Only after getting used to the darkness could he make out the vague silhouettes of some objects in the room.
