In the middle of the darkness of room 1401, Song Lei calmly stood on his knees, his eyes closed, and his mind completely focused on his ears.
After closing his spiritual eye using the shamanist ritual, Song Lei's other senses had been improved by leaps and bounds. Using these newly enhanced senses, he had been listening to the voices of his new subordinates that were on the 12th floor.
After listening for some time and hearing that the newbies were safe, Song Lei shifted his attention towards another interesting noise.
He heard a ferocious swishing noise as if someone was swinging a long stick very quickly. As he focused more to better understand what he was hearing, the swishing stopped.
"It's not good to eavesdrop on others..." A vigorous but croaking voice filled Song Lei's ears. Dumbfounded, Song Lei's mind shook with fear and anxiety. He felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.
What was going on?
