Moreover, the voice wasn't coming from above.
It was coming from ahead.
Dongye Yuusei swallowed his saliva and subconsciously lowered his footsteps, following the sound forward. He peeked around the corner and saw two young men, one fat and one thin, wielding tools and drilling into the sewer wall.
What were they doing? Maintaining the sewer?
But it looked more like they were causing damage, didn't it?
As he stared at the fat and thin monk in front of him, he felt an itch on his calf and subconsciously reached down to scratch it, only to touch something furry.
It was a rat.
"Ah, damn it!"
He realized too late, yelped, and instantly withdrew his hand while frantically kicking his leg, flinging a rat the size of a fist several meters away.
"Who!"
Hearing the sound, the fat and thin monk drilling the sewer wall dashed over to him.
Dongye Yuusei reflexively turned and ran.
"Brother, it seems to be a vagrant."
"Catch him! Don't let him get away!"
