It grew exceptionally quiet outside. The frenzied Black Shadows seemed to have suddenly fallen silent, and a long time passed without them reappearing.
However, the night seemed to have grown much deeper, and the light from Li Luo's electronic screen looked somewhat dim.
"Does it feel like it's gotten a lot darker to you?" Li Luo asked uncertainly, holding her electronic screen.
"During these twelve hours, the closer we get to the end, the darker it gets," Jin Lou explained.
Li Luo nodded. The excessively dim environment made her all the more nervous.
The surrounding silence was terrifying, and Li Luo's nerves were frayed.
After a while, a strange sound from outside broke the long, dead silence.
"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK."
It sounded like someone was gently knocking on the main door of Fire Thief Studio.
Hearing the sound, both Li Luo and Jin Lou were instantly on alert.
"Who's that?" Li Luo asked cautiously.
