Sylvia's POV:
There were more guards near the wall today than usual. Geoffrey might have suspected that we had gone outside the wall last night, thus strengthened security.
I hid in the shadows while waiting for the nearby group of guards to pass by. Once the coast was cleared, I went through the same hole in the wall from yesterday and got out.
As soon as I got out, something felt off immediately. There was no one on the streets tonight. The city looked abandoned.
Even the air was a little weird.
It was so quiet that even the rustling of the leaves in the wind could be heard.
All lights in the buildings were out, including even the residential buildings in the distance.
I pursed my lips and observed the road.
It was impossible for all the werewolves outside the wall to suddenly disappear overnight. The only possibility was that they all went to a certain place for some common reason.
I thought of what Felix had told me and began to feel uneasy.
I was going to send Rufus a message to tell him that something was wrong, but I realized my pocket was empty. I had forgotten my phone somewhere.
I decided to go to the sewer from yesterday to see if I could find Felix.
Because of the water that was released last night, there were puddles everywhere. My trousers had gotten wet from walking all the way.
As expected, Felix was not in the sewer.
At this time, I heard a faint bell ring from the outside. It should be the hourly reminder. Based on the time I left off, I guessed it was exactly midnight.
However, this time last night, I didn't remember hearing a bell ring.
