Everyone feels a sense of relaxation when they step into their own space.
Because nobody is watching you, nobody is scrutinizing your actions and posture.
But Qing Chen didn't relax.
He stood by the door and closed his eyes, quietly listening to every sound from the outside world.
No sound of doors opening, no sound of doors closing.
Nothing at all.
This was the anomaly.
The room was 89 square meters, which, for the crowded Cyberpunk City, could already be considered a 'luxury apartment' in District Five, where most families of three still live in 15-square-meter 'pigeonholes'.
Qing Chen didn't check out his new home immediately. Instead, he opened the door again and stepped outside.
No one was there in the quiet and dimly lit corridor. He took off his shoes and, using the technique Mother Ye had taught him, approached the safety passage swiftly and silently.
