Visitor from Afar 2

Ye Zhao and Tu'an had spent nearly half a day in the house without incident. The sky had gradually darkened. Ye Zhao hadn't expected Tu'an to be so cautious, too. She'd been hoping he'd go out and make a mistake first.

Since nothing strange had happened, Ye Zhao decided to rest for a while and conserve her strength in case of emergencies.

By the time night had fallen completely, nothing dangerous had happened so far, but no one dared risk going out at night. They were also afraid something incomprehensible might happen, so everyone hurried indoors.

After dinner, Ye Zhao checked the internet. It was all abuzz with optimism. Since hardly anyone had died, people were encouraging one another, and morale was slowly rising again.

"Knock, knock. Knock, knock."

Suddenly, someone knocked at the door. Ye Zhao jolted and looked toward it at the same time as Tu'an.

The two exchanged a glance and crept over to the door. Ye Zhao felt a chill crawl over her. She hadn't heard anyone outside. With her current attributes, she could hear people whispering from miles away, yet now someone was knocking without her hearing footsteps or a heartbeat or breathing. So who was knocking?

She was most afraid of things that came out of nowhere.

She picked up a watermelon knife and cautiously approached the door. After hesitating, she peered through the tiny peephole. The view outside was dim, and there was nothing there.

No one?

"Knock, knock. Knock, knock."

The renewed knocking startled Ye Zhao so badly she nearly jumped on the spot. Damn it!

There was clearly no one there!

She turned to Tu'an and motioned for him to take a look.

Tu'an waved his hands frantically. He wasn't looking, either.

Ye Zhao rolled her eyes. Wasn't his Spatial Ability
