Chapter 403: Darkness Is Watching You

An Lin sat alone in a corner, watching the bustling and lively banquet, observing the noblewoman not far away, around whom others gathered like stars around the moon.

The singer on stage, with his incessant song, suddenly made her feel very irritable, and the noble guests, in their high-born magnificence, seemed to her like a bunch of dark, puppeteering marionettes.

Without emotions or thoughts of their own, the puppets mechanically curled their lips into semi-circular smiles.

At that moment, everything appeared icy and terrifying.

She felt as if she were being watched from all sides; the puppets in the darkness were casting their gaze upon her.

The grandiose castle hall vanished before her eyes, turning into a pitch-black and terrifying abyss, and the noisy conversations and laughter also faded from her ears, becoming distant and blurred.

In the end, she only heard the singer's voice, reverberating in her mind like 3D surround sound.
