"Eh? Why does the compound seem so much quieter today?" Xia Fei asked curiously.

Old Wistview sighed. "After that haunting incident from last night got out, all of the original residents here left, including the three hundred-some employees the clan hired. Right now, I'm an officer without an army, and you're the compound's only resident."

Xia Fei smiled. "A little peace and quiet is pretty good. I don't mind, at any rate."

Wistview said, "I think it's best if you move into another compound. In any case, you're not doing anything, and no. 9 is somewhat more dark and shady."

Xia Fei nodded. "Alright, I'll do as you say."
