Newly formed friendship.
After the brief agreement between Liam and the old man, they both headed out of the room. The outside was filled with houses of similar structure to the one Liam inhabited a few moments back with trees situated on different parts. But… something felt strange…
'I can't see any humans… neither can I sense anyone with my spiritual sense!' Liam thought, raising his guard.
'But I can sense the old man's energy signature… which I doubt is real.'
The old man's energy signature still appeared frail in Liam's eyes which made him doubt everything around him.
As if sensing Liam's plight, the old man said. "This place is protected by a shield, to protect us from evil eyes.
Yōkai can see through things; knowing their potential and energy flow.
If we didn't discover this method, then our community would have gone extinct ages before now."
The old man said in a sober tone, not pausing for a moment.
