The night was deep.
Sitting at the desk and looking at the reference book in front of her, Honda just couldn't calm her mind. She stared at the string of Buddha Beads on her wrist and sighed involuntarily. This was given to her by Duanmu Huai before they left, saying it could make her feel more at ease. The Buddha Beads looked very peculiar, with golden Sanskrit carved on them, appearing quite powerful.
But even so, Honda couldn't find peace. No one in her family had returned yet, leaving her alone at home, which made her restless and even a bit parched.
Go drink some water.
With that thought, Honda stood up and left the bedroom, heading to the kitchen on the first floor. The entire house was empty. Even if Honda turned on all the lights, there was still an invisible fear and unease. She hurried to the kitchen, opened the fridge, took out a bottle of drink, and gulped it down.
