Chapter 345: On the Brink of the Abyss

Lin Xingjie awoke to the clock on the opposite wall pointing to midnight.

She touched her forehead, feeling only a slight feverishness. Yet her body wasn't uncomfortable; she was quite alert and had none of the symptoms like coughing or a runny nose, so it probably wasn't a fever.

It was more like not only her forehead but her entire body was heating up. The girl could feel the hot blood surging through every corner, even hearing a sonorous pulsing in her ears—a peculiar tinnitus with the rumbling echoes of blood coursing through her vessels deep within her eardrums.

Fortunately, she was very calm at the moment, and after a check, she found that her abilities hadn't gone out of control.

Lin Xingjie threw back the covers, got out of bed, and slowly put on her socks and slippers. She put on a coat to cover her bare arms and shoulders, wrapping herself up tightly.
