Chapter 44 She Followed!

```

From the time Yan Junze had sent his mother out of the residential complex to his return, the Back-faced Woman had already climbed one more floor. Yet, she still stood at the midpoint of the corner landing, facing the wall and turning her back on the stairway corner.

"Are you deliberately toying with me?" Yan Junze lowered his head, considering whether he should complete the task of "Look at Her Face."

After a moment, he lifted his head. Given that he did not have full confidence in the situation at hand, he decided not to tackle the task graded "hair-raising (low)" just yet.

He had already set up the Rewind; he'd go up first and say it. If anything unexpected happened, it wouldn't be too late to activate the Rewind.

Resolute, Yan Junze happened to find the voice-activated lights extinguishing right at that moment. He gently stamped his foot to turn the voice-activated lights back on, then proceeded to climb the stairs again.
