In the dim light, He Lingling looked up blankly, surrounded by the almost identical humming of songs by the men and women around her.

Yes, everyone is singing.

How could I possibly miss out on singing?

He Lingling's dark pupils trembled in the darkness. The pupils, which originally occupied two-thirds of her eye sockets, slowly flattened in an instant, gradually transforming into dark horizontal pupils similar to those of a sheep.

"...Sleep, sleep..."

He Lingling opened her mouth and sang with a mixture of pleasure and pain.

"You won't feel pain when you're asleep... The sea is our god who will never abandon us... Sleep, sleep... We'll always be together... We'll always... We'll always be together..."

"We will always...we will always be together..."

"..."

corridor.

As they approached the kitchen, Yu Shijiu suddenly turned around to look behind him.

There was complete silence behind me. The corridor I had come from was still dimly lit, with only occasional distorted rays of light falling down and casting shadows on the floor.

"What, what's wrong?"

Xu Han was startled by his sudden turn around and quickly asked, "Is something wrong?"

"……No."

Yu Shijiu looked carefully at the empty and quiet corridor behind her, and raised the corners of her mouth: "Maybe I'm just imagining things."

"?"

Xu Han became even more frightened upon hearing this, and quickly tugged at Yu Shijiu's sleeve, whispering:

"What do you mean by feeling wrong or feeling right? I don't understand what you're saying. I didn't feel anything."

"I felt like someone was following us."

Yu Shijiu didn't hide his thoughts and said directly, "Now it seems I was overthinking it."

"..." Xu Han was silent for a few seconds, then quietly said, "I think, whether it's overthinking or not, it's always good to be more vigilant."

Who knows if there really was something following them just now...

Xu Han swallowed hard and whispered, "Um, should we keep going?"

"Why don't you leave?"

Yu Shijiu gave him a strange look. "Don't say I might be mistaken. Even if someone is really following us, so what?"

"..."

Xu Han gave an awkward smile and gripped Yu Shijiu's clothes even tighter: "You're right, what are we afraid of? We're not afraid of anything!"

After speaking, Xu Han took a deep breath, straightened his back, and raised his head:

"Let's go! Let's hurry and check the kitchen before we come back. He Lingling and the others are probably waiting for us!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shijiu nodded very seriously: "Yes, we need to go back quickly."

"That's how it is—damn it! Shi Jiu, slow down!"

Xu Han's anxious voice faded into the distance with the sound of two hurried footsteps, leaving Lu Chusheng, who had apparently heard something, still standing there.

Lu Chusheng squatted quietly in place, his fluffy cat head looking around in the dim light, his tail swaying wildly behind him in his anxiety.

Just now... he also heard footsteps that didn't belong to the three of them.

Who is it?

No NPCs should have seen them leave—

"Fatty?"

From around the corner not far behind, Yu Shijiu's voice called out: "Why are you stopping?"

Lu Chusheng paused slightly in his contemplation, then turned his head and met the gaze of Yu Shijiu, who was peeking out from around the corner.

"Fatty?"

Yu Shijiu looked at "Feifei" who turned his head to look at him from afar, and some strange emotions inexplicably flashed through his heart.

Why did he feel... that Fatty's expression looked a little strange?

Is it just my imagination? Or—

"Meow."

The "fatty" that was crouching in front of him quickly stood up, wagging its fluffy tail and running towards him, making soft meows as it ran.

The doubt in Yu Shijiu's eyes vanished instantly, and he looked at "Feifei" running towards him with great joy.

"..."

Lu Chusheng breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that Yu Shijiu's expression had calmed down.

...we were almost discovered.

Lu Chusheng thought.
