On the night of October 7, close to midnight, the not-so-spacious Lantern Teleportation Hall was crowded with people.
Granny Lin Nie sat in a creaking rocking chair, her thin fingers interlaced over her abdomen, which was covered by a cushion.

What they were about to do was beyond imagination. There were few people in the present age who could compare with them.
