The knocking at the door rang out, and the atmosphere instantly turned rigid. Rover, Nanoe, and Selina looked at each other, and it seemed they all shared the same thought.
'Thousand-Faced Wraith'
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The knocking sounded again. Rover wanted to speak, but Nanoe immediately signaled for him to stay silent.
She moved closer to him and whispered with a frown, "Rover, we still don't know what form the 'Thousand-Faced Wraith' will use, or what method it will use to copy our bodies and memories. So it's best if we don't respond at all."
"Besides, in this world, we don't know anyone, and there's no way anyone would run out in a dangerous time like this just to knock on our door."
Rover felt it made perfect sense. He decided to keep quiet and continue waiting.
The creature outside seemed to stop knocking. Instead, there came the sound of something being dragged along the floor, and the noise alone made everyone's skin crawl.
