The Hearse

The night sky was like a thick cloth, smothering all the light. Chen Ge sat on the e-bike and held his arms open. The rain fell into his open palms as he murmured, "Looks like the rain is picking up."

The buildings on the side looked rather blurry. It was not that late yet, but there was already no light in the neighborhood. "Do people in Eastern Jiujiang like to sleep early?"

Chen Ge had already noticed the anomalies. He parked the bike by the bus stop and took out his phone to look at the time.

"Not yet midnight. Normally, those things become active after midnight." Chen Ge had not brought a raincoat or umbrella, so he was worried of getting the comic wet. "Should I stay here and wait or continue moving before the rain picks up?"
