Chen Chen's expression was uncertain. After thinking for a while, he turned, went downstairs, and walked into the shade.
Time trickled by in minutes and seconds. Chen Chen waited for a while and when he saw the sun gradually sink into the horizon and only a swathe of afterglow remained, he finally stepped out of the castle and went to the street.
The castle was kept a certain distance away from the surrounding buildings, encircled by a clearing without any shelter. The moat around the castle had long since dried up and was buried in the soil. Chen Chen could cross over with a single step.
Chen Chen stood in the open space outside the castle. He thought for a while and hovered up, but when he rose to a height of three stories, his head seemed to hit something with a "bang".
Chen Chen rubbed his head. He tried to reach above the top of his head, but only touched a cold, hard object.
