Xiaowu followed two patrol officers to a bar two streets away.
A crowd had already gathered at the entrance of the bar, all looking worried yet curious towards the inside.
At that time, there was still a steady stream of people exiting the bar, supporting each other, each with their own clothing covering their nose and mouth.
But from the outside, there was no sign of smoke—could the fire be inside?
"Hey, buddy, what's going on?" Xiaowu struck up a conversation with someone else watching the commotion.
"Not sure, I just heard the fire alarm and ran out..." the person answered Xiaowu blankly, "But I didn't really smell anything burning..."
"Oh~ okay..." Xiaowu nodded and continued to ask others about the situation.
However, after going around and asking, the response was the same: they first heard the alarm, then the crowd started getting restless, and no one knew who said, "Was that a fire alarm just now?" As a result, everyone rushed out of the bar.
