"Wh-what?"

Xie Hui was genuinely frightened when he suddenly heard an unfamiliar and eerie voice.

Looking around, the man was surprised to find that someone was standing in the corner, leaning against the wall, and the room was gradually plunging into darkness, sinking into a strange black liquid that stuck Xie Hui to the floor.

"W-who are you? What are you doing in the Xie family's mansion?" asked Xie Hui, looking as if he was about to build a house of bricks beneath himself. His pupils narrowed, and he looked pale.

The man was dressed in dark clothing, wearing a long cloak with a hood that covered his face. Only pale hands, covered in blisters, could be seen.

"Ho-o-o... so this is what you're like, Xie Hui," the voice replied, but the strange thing was that the man in the room did not open his mouth.

And the voice came from...

"Behind you!" Xie Hui was startled and looked around, turning deathly pale.
