The yard door and the house door were both open, and in the dim moonlight one could just barely see some wet marks on the floor of the house.
But if you get closer, you will find that the wet mark is not a water stain that was accidentally spilled, but a pool of blood that has not yet dried.
Following the blood, I turned into the bedroom and saw the body of a middle-aged man.
He was kneeling in front of the shrine dedicated to the Eternal Sun, with a dagger stuck in his chest and his right hand holding the hilt, looking like he was committing suicide.

"Did you see anyone?"
"No, he's been gone for a while, but one thing is certain, he's following the footsteps of Night Crow just like us."
Li Bola pointed at the many night crows that flew away outside the window and said:
