Lin Suqing had already prepared to meet an acquaintance from the past, but that voice came just once, as if he was hearing things, and then it vanished without a trace, the owner of the voice yet to show itself.
"Am I just scaring myself?" Lin Suqing fished out a finger and poked around in his ear. That sound was just too real, and even if he were scaring himself, he would have conjured up a voice he was more wary of.
He looked up at the sky, where the tree canopy blocked most of the view, leaving only a palm-sized patch of sky, a grayish-white without a hint of blue. Maybe he really was just hearing things because he was too tense.
Just as he was about to step forward, a sudden noise came from behind him. Instinctively, he leaped onto the treetops, and sure enough, it was the big-mouthed monster that had been hell-bent on biting him before.
