The air in the high-end audiovisual gaming room on the second floor seemed to have frozen at that moment.
With the hundred-inch curved screen turned off, only a few dim floor lamps in the corners cast a faint blue glow, leaving alternating patches of light and shadow across Chen Yusheng's fair, cool face.

"Why did you suddenly get this idea?"
