Genava didn't notice any abnormalities, but he fully trusted Shang Jianyao's judgment and asked, "Is it because we're closer to the root of the problem?"
Genava believed that although the possibility of Shang Jianyao joking or pulling a prank at critical moments existed, he or another him would quickly right course without delaying the important matters. Therefore, with Shang Jianyao giving no other explanation, Genava believed his words.
Shang Jianyao stared into the dark depths of the main city district and shook his head. "I didn't feel this way back at the square, and it's only 20 to 30 meters from the center of the square to here."
There was a small fountain and a square with a statue that wasn't large to begin with.
What Shang Jianyao meant was that there was no reason for him not to sense anything ahead, only to detect something after walking only 20 to 30 meters.
