86 Three people go in, two come ou (1/2)

A chill crept down her spine and she immediately rounds up everyone, demanding to know who had entered before.

But there was no definitive answer. It was as though it had appeared out of nowhere on its own.

In the end, madam Lu was unable to get her answer.

Walking down the streets and past dark alleyways, everything was going on as per usual, a frown appeared on Xue'er's face. It was the most important day of the year, yet these people could not even decide to take a break from what they were doing.

Truly, even a town in the middle of nowhere like this, there was still those working in this trade, was there even a place that is deemed safe in the entirety of the kingdoms?

As she walked down the path, the footsteps of strangers could be heard closely behind her. The very unorganized sounds, but she could tell that there were people after her. The original group of five people separated into a group of two and three, the group of two followed her while the group of three went off in another direction.

The sense of danger in the air was feeling restless.

She narrowed her eyes and continued at her normal pace, a smirk appeared as she went down a dark and obsolete path, away from the sounds of grander celebration.

Xue'er walked on a while before she disappeared into the darkness. The footsteps that were far behind hurriedly ran up, only to meet a dead end in the narrow alleyway.

”Where did she go?” A man asked in the shadows.

”I don't know, she was here a few moments ago.” The other person muttered as he tried to figure out how a person dressed completely in red could disappear from under their sight, one had to know, this wasn't their first or second time tailing a person. They could be considered experts when it came to this trade.

Xue'er from above the roof tiles could see their befuddled expressions as they looked at the cracked and poorly maintained wall, looking for any possible place for a girl of eight or nine years of age to hide.

Within her sleeves, she carefully takes out her little red worm that had returned a while back, she couldn't explain it, but there was an unspoken connection between them now, and she felt that it would listen to her every command.

Her lips moved closer whispering something to it, and it blinked as though it had understood her wish, and flew off into the night towards the two people who were searching for her.
