It was three in the morning in game time when a series of rapid knocking sounds started without warning.
Xu Huo was lying in bed and didn't move, just opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door.
"Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock... Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
The urgent knocking gradually turned into door-slamming, the sound steadily escalating.
Xu Huo simply sat up and listened to the noise at the door, neither responding nor planning to open it.
The knocking persisted for a while before it abruptly ceased, followed by the sound of footsteps receding.
A few seconds later, another set of footsteps with varying intensity passed by the door.
About a minute of quiet passed, then footsteps returned from the direction they had left, pounding on the door: "Help! Save me! Someone is trying to kill me! Please open the door..."
"He's going to find me, and once he does, I'm definitely dead!"
"I beg you, open the door quickly, or I'll lose my life!"
