It was about 11 p.m at night and most of the inner city streets were empty under the bright moonlight. There was only one carriage on this specific road, heading further into the city.
Hao Xuan was sitting in the back playing with the ring absentmindedly, engrossed in the thoughts of what was about to come when he heard a low buzz.
*Shiing*
With a slight frown, he opened the right side window to peek outside. As if it was waiting for such an opportunity, the noise suddenly got louder and sharper, and a barely visible flash of light shot forward, aiming straight at his head.
Green and Red both turned around in an instant. Their arms extended to over four times the length of their bodies, covering both sides of the carriage.
But the flash of shimmering light that was going in and out of the visible spectrum twisted in an unfathomable way, almost like it was alive, and moved between the space of Green's finger and continued on.
All of this happened in less than a second.
