Yang Xiao and the contact officer sent by the Esoteric Sect boarded the ship together, squeezing into the cabin with everyone else, and found a corner to sit down.
The cramped cabin was filled with a nauseating stench, with only a dim yellow emergency light bulb above.
In the dim lighting, pairs of vigilant eyes were reflected, and a disturbing atmosphere pervaded the cabin.
Perhaps sensing this unease, the sound of a baby's crying emerged from the cabin, the baby held by a very young woman.
The woman gently rocked the baby in her arms, whispering softly, but it was completely ineffective; the baby's cries grew louder and more piercing.
This made the woman anxious and seemed to stir up her sad memories, causing her to quickly become tearful.
Seeing this, a middle-aged man who appeared to be the woman's father immediately put down the luggage he was carrying, comforting his daughter while taking the baby from her, and soothing the baby himself.
