But she couldn't hear.
She couldn't hear anything anymore, only the footsteps of the Queen's statue.
The entire world went silent, only the Queen's footsteps grew louder and louder, like a cold tide sweeping over, about to drown her.
"Captain... Captain, save me, save me..."
Su Zimai muttered, her body still slowly, step by step, retreating.
But suddenly, her legs gave way, and with a thud, she fell to the ground. The black Magic Hat fluttered down from above her head, but she was still wearing a Rustic Hat—this was just placed on her by Ke Qirui earlier.
Su Zimai panted heavily, flustered as she lay on the ground. She kicked her legs against the floor, inching her body backward, constantly shouting, "Don't come closer!"
Yet, the Queen's statue resembled a cold executioner, never halting its steps.
The giant shadow loomed closer and closer.
Su Zimai had nowhere left to retreat; her back quickly pressed against the auction house's wall.
