Darkness Descends

The first thing Ye Zhao did upon entering her room was to take a shower and change into clean clothes. Only after scrubbing away the smell of coal that clung to her entire body did she feel like she had come back to life. She gave the dirty clothes to customer service to be cleaned; throwing them away would be a pity, as they were newly purchased, after all.

The coal dust lodged in her fingernails was a different story; she picked at it for ages without getting it all clean. Eventually, she pulled a watermelon knife from her Personal Space and spent quite a while digging the grime out with the tip of the blade.

Only then did she finally have the time to use her Prophet Skill.

A dozen cars piled up in a chain reaction.

The scene was truly bizarre. Ye Zhao stared until her eyes burned, yet she couldn't see anything strange at all.

Moreover, her perception had become increasingly acute with the improvement of her Constitution, yet she hadn't sensed a thing.
