He Shiyi suddenly swerved the steering wheel to the left, dodging the charred monster rushing towards them from the front: "We must have encountered some kind of accident to end up here. Those monsters are here to assassinate us."

Gu Li glanced at the bright daylight outside the car window, and at the increasing number of monsters on the street, which were gathering towards them.

"Assassination?"

He Shiyi: "...Perhaps it's a pursuit."

"We need to find out who's behind this in order to escape this endless pursuit."

Gu Li nodded thoughtfully.

"You failed?"

He Shiyi parked the car in a well-known garden villa community in the city center and led her inside: "Yes, every time I try to find its tail, I'm always interrupted for various reasons."

"So I guess we'll need to work together to catch it. Sorry for using a slightly intimate excuse to get closer to you before."

Gu Li walked into the garden, where no neighboring villas were in sight, and casually replied, "It's not so bad, at least I can imagine such a luxurious villa."

Her fingers, which were resting on the sofa, paused. Wait, how did she know about this kind of villa interior design?

Gu Li took a deep breath and slowly looked at He Shiyi, who was looking at her with a relaxed expression.

"So what you just said was true, and I wasn't dreaming; there really is something chasing us?!"

Her response was the crisp clinking of He Shiyi's empty wine glass on the table.

"I think so, although that's all I remember."

"That thing is back again. We can try together to see if we can find a way back."
