It was a quarter past four in the afternoon.
Bai Youwei gazed out the window, the gray and murky sky devoid of clouds, the city tranquil as if the pause button had been pressed.
Her wristwatch lit up without warning and then began to countdown—
23:59…
23:58…
23:57…
As the Inspector had said, the fourth battle game would be settled, and the final battle would start immediately, with a countdown of 24 hours.
"Tan Xiao," Bai Youwei turned her head and called out.
"Ah?" Tan Xiao, who was engrossed in a mobile game, was momentarily confused.
"Did Shen Mo say when he would be back?" Bai Youwei asked.
Tan Xiao looked perplexed and shook his head, "Umm... he should be back soon, I guess."
"You go to West Suburb and look for him," Bai Youwei instructed.
"But, Brother Mo said not to leave you alone," Tan Xiao put down his phone, "In case something happens, you need someone with you."
