Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue went to the middle of the stairs where he had stumbled on the girl previously.
Mo Fan looked at the diverging flight of stairs and saw that the path was overgrown with weeds. Some vines were blocking the path.
There was also a white line across the path, implying it was a prohibited area. The white line felt even stranger the more Mo Fan looked at it, as if it was some kind of seal locking something inside.
Perhaps it was only him, but the path looked eerier under the dim moonlight!
"Is this where you saw the girl?" asked Mu Ningxue.
"Mm, but I saw her first in the afternoon. She went to the temple to look for a young monk, so she chatted with me because I was talking with the monk. I didn't notice anything odd about the girl at first," said Mo Fan.
