The Worldview Was About to Shatter "Th-this... what's going on?"
Chu Mu tried hard to stay calm and asked Wu Shuo in a lowered voice.
"I don't know."
Wu Shuo turned toward the room and said solemnly, "He San and I were right across the hall. After hearing the commotion, we rushed in together. We only saw a black shadow flash toward the cabinet. He San threw a few punches, the cabinet shattered, and the black shadow vanished..."
Chu Mu looked toward the room across the hall. The doors faced each other, separated by only one corridor. At such a close distance, no more than a dozen seconds could have passed between hearing the commotion and rushing into the room.

"This is too sinister."
Wu Shuo shook his head, his expression growing even heavier. "That black shadow—I dare guarantee it absolutely wasn't human!"
