The door swung open, and the sunlight was somewhat dazzling, making every speck of dust in the air visible.
This also made the shadows within the room especially dark and deep.
And there, a person was silently hanging, suspended from a towel tied to the headboard.
It was a man with his eyes closed, with feet dangling, motionless.
After a moment of silence, Li Qingming and Dai Xiaoyun found themselves locked in a gaze.
The Overlord was dead?
Was this a memory related to suicide?
In a daze, Dai Xiaoyun placed Li Qingming on the nearby bed and then slowly drew her twin blades, stepping forward.
Suddenly, the body opened its eyes.
He stared at them and slowly shook his head.
At the same time, he raised his hand silently, making a "no" gesture.
In response, Dai Xiaoyun and Li Qingming didn't panic but instead exchanged glances to discuss the meaning behind this gesture.
Don't come closer?
Don't meddle with me?
Or don't kill me?
