The alley was dark, and the fine rain soaked the moss in the corners of the walls.
"Damn it..."
Limp Wang rubbed his face, cursing and limping along, grimacing from time to time.
His luck was bad today; he lost everything he had and owed a lot. Afraid of being caught by the gambling den's people, he had to sneak through this dark alley.
There were many such alleys in the Capital City where few people visited, so kidnappers, thieves, and those with shady dealings would choose such places. Sometimes, stumbling upon a dead body was not surprising.
Just like a couple of days ago, a eunuch died here. When discovered, his parts were shattered everywhere, and it was rumored that he was quite a high-ranking official.
"Hmph, these days, neither good people nor bad people live long..."
Limp Wang muttered, not noticing at all as a wisp of black smoke seeped from the wall corner behind him...
Sss!
