“I think we lost them.”

“Yeah, I can’t sense them at all.”

The two Ghost survivors carefully emerged from the waters as they looked around. Although they had used rugged forests and mountains to erase their tracks and lose their pursuers, they had still used the river to make doubly sure. No matter how good a person was at tracking, there was no way they’d be able to track someone through the water. 

“Let’s hurry. It’s later than I thought.”

“But we’ll still be able to get to the rendezvous point within the agreed-upon date.”

The two of them moved diligently.

Now all they had to do was join their comrades at the agreed-upon location.

The place they were heading to wasn’t a place without any people, instead, it was in the middle of a city with people living in it.  Since it was always darkest under the candlestick, it was better for them to hide where there were people living. Not to mention, it was easier for them to obtain information.

The two of them headed towards a hidden bar in the back alley and knocked at the back door of the bar that hadn’t even opened yet.

Knock~ knockknock~...
