When Yu Zhi left the cemetery, the sky had already turned completely dark.
She didn't return to the Yu Family residence but instead headed toward the apartment in the city center.
The moon hung high, and the tall streetlights cast a faint glow mixed with the cold white moonlight onto the road.
Wearing headphones, Yu Zhi held the strap of her backpack with one hand and walked slowly toward a deep alley shrouded in darkness, its end completely out of sight.
"Click-clack, click-clack—"
Within the pitch-black, silent alley, the crisp sound of footsteps seemed to drum on the nerves, inexplicably eerie.
A tall figure quietly trailed behind Yu Zhi, half of his face obscured in the shadows, hiding his features and expression.
A few scattered bits of clutter were piled on both sides of the alley, and a black cat suddenly leapt off a cardboard box, landing crouched directly in front of the man.
