Boundary Land, East District, located in the dark alley of the old street.
The dim evening light enveloped the alley from above, making the heterogenized streets appear particularly cold. The street-front shops emitted eerie lights, with a strange, almost viscous texture spilling from the windows, as if about to flow to the ground, trembling and writhing in the air. Meanwhile, the tangled mess of wires and strings with colorful small flags hung crisscross above, with strings of lights buzzing and flashing with a psychedelic glow.
Heavy footsteps broke the silence in the dark alley as several towering figures in power armor slowly walked through the narrow lane, eventually stopping in front of an old bookstore to inspect the traces nearby.
Xu Jiali opened the mask of her power armor, frowning as she observed several grooves on the ground.
