When the two returned to the entrance of the mysterious alley.
The strange atmosphere originally emanating from here was noticeably reduced, only a few thread-like lines floated within the alley, without overflowing onto the street.
'Could it be that we were deliberately lured... did someone inside notice my or Pope's uniqueness?'
Han Dong and Pope exchanged a glance and walked into the alley side by side.
As they stepped into the alley, the street's noise instantly diminished by more than half, as if a membrane was isolating here from the outside street.
The feeling of separation grew stronger with each step deeper.
When they reached a certain depth, the external static noise completely vanished, replaced by an unusual silence.
At the same time, a metal door continuously emitting a dark grey aura appeared at the end of the alley.
An uncommon mark was engraved on the door - "A head without facial features, tentacles growing from the lower neck."
"Something's coming."
