In a decrepit building situated on a mountain peak.
Zhen Xun pushed open the large doors unhurriedly. With uneven steps, he stepped onto the muddy, stony ground as he entered the building’s main hall. He looked towards the window to his right.
The blood-red rays of the sun shone in through the round-rimmed windows, illuminating a lithe, long-haired silhouette that stood by the window.
Zhen Xun’s eyes narrowed as he surveyed his surroundings.

The ground beneath him was consistently muddied and littered with small stones as well as the remnant fragments of run-down wooden furniture. From where he was standing at the doorway, he could clearly see the round windows that were on all four sides.
