As Xiaoyun and Yueyue both stood in complete silence, they could hear the clunking sound getting louder and louder until it suddenly stopped.
The storage unit was pitch black. No light, no sounds. Nothing seemed to be happening as the two of them waited.
It was almost as if all the noises the two had heard earlier were an illusion.
But as they continued waiting in silence, they soon noticed something appearing just a few steps away from them.
A small, angular telescope emerged from one of the floor drains, its lens reflecting the faintest hints of light.
Soon, a young man emerged from underground, lifting the manhole cover and the entire nearby concrete tiles aside.
He was still holding the flashlight with his mouth, and his backpack and his telescope strapped to his shoulder.
"Woof, woof."
The man suddenly made a little dog sound, seemingly waiting for some sort of response. But after nothing happened, he finally resumed moving again.
