Unnoticed, small hands emerged one by one on the city walls around Chu Nuan City.

Like weeds growing on the city walls, they swayed in the wind, eerie and bewitching, as if the entire Chu Nuan City was surrounded by these small hands.

Suddenly, hundreds of small hands gathered from the city walls, growing vigorously like trees taking root and sprouting, forming human-like shapes.

This guard team had been stable for many years, its members as close as brothers. After so many years of familiarity, they shared a life-and-death friendship.

He never expected Chu Dou to die so quietly!

Feng Yao had long known that Chu Nuan City had been uneasy recently, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous!

They had all heard Chu Dou's complaints, about how he would retire after this year and go home to spend a peaceful life with his wife and children, and he often talked about the interesting daily life with his wife and children.

But he never thought... Chu Dou would leave forever before he even got to see his wife and children one last time.

His fist clenched suddenly, Feng Yao shook his head at the others with red eyes, gritting his teeth.

"Dead? How is that possible!"

"How could he be! We only separated for a short while, how could he..."

"If only we hadn't left him alone just now! Everyone knows he has a soft heart, and he likes to pretend to be serious on weekdays. We've been brothers for so many years, and still... If we had stayed with him just now..."

The surrounding guards also had red eyes, their bodies trembling slightly, gnashing their teeth in anger.

They were angry at Chu Dou's death, and also angry at the eeriness and brutality of it all.
