A Peaceful Night

In the dead of night, several black-masked shadows were currently lurking in the dark.

The streets were quiet and cold and looked a little deserted.

Nonetheless, there were a few people publicly moving here and there for their private reasons.

Some walked on the streets after leaving the bars very late at night, as they got excessively drunk on the roads, staggering about from left to right and right to left.

Some even fell into the gutters, intoxicated with so much booze that they immediately passed out.

The lonely sounds of their laughter and drunken banter echoed across the silent night, disturbing the street cats.

And amidst the drunken fiasco, several many black-masked shadows spring out of their hiding places, dashing forward one street at a time.

Whenever they heard or spotted someone, they would vanish into thin air, with some jumping onto the roofs of homes and others hiding in the alleyways vigilantly.
