Gerrit Harris was in the inner hall, along with Hayden Marsh and others.
There were heavily guarded imperial troops outside.
In contrast, there weren't many people around the inner hall.
A shadow flickered, quietly pulling out a bamboo tube from his coat.
He looked around, confirmed there was no one, then quietly aimed the tube at the door's crack and blew.
About ten seconds later, a heavy thud came from the room.
The shadow pushed open the door, quietly entering the room.
Several guards were lying inside, their eyes wide open, wanting to speak but unable to.
It seemed like their bodies were being controlled.
They couldn't even speak.
Lillian Tompson and Davion were crouching on the ground, their eyes filled with alertness.
The shadow saw the two swords impaled in the ground and hesitated for a moment.
This is a formation!
It controls the people inside and acts as an alarm.
Breaking the formation rashly could easily alert the enemy.
