Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 847: Chapter 844: Going Home

Slight dizziness and a subtle sense of discomfort once again permeated the air at the last intersection on the way home. Heidi paused, puzzled, and looked back in the direction she had come from.

A thin mist blanketed the street, clouds hung low over the rooftops, and the streetlights emitted a cold, dim glow. Some vague, shaky shadows fluctuated in the mist, occasionally emitting incomprehensible, dream-like chaotic noises, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

She furrowed her brow, catching a glimpse from the corner of her eye of some text carved into the wall beside her, the crooked symbols there giving her a headache.

Not far from the street, a robust woman stood at a doorway. Perhaps noticing Heidi, who was dazed in the middle of the road, the lady looked on with curiosity, “Good evening, do you need help?”

“…No,” Heidi hesitated before responding, “I’m fine, just a bit dizzy.”

“You should take care of yourself, dizziness is no small matter,” the robust lady said with a friendly smile, “If you’re feeling unwell, you can come in and take a seat. I have some hot tea.”

Aware of the other’s genuine kindness, Heidi smiled and waved her hand: “Thank you for your kindness, but I’m feeling much better now.”

“Is that so? It seems that breathing in some fresh air indeed helps. It’s good weather today…”

Heidi nodded, politely thanked her and then withdrew her gaze. Shortly after that, she saw a stranger in a blue coat approaching through the mist, the man carrying what appeared to be a heavy parcel, hurrying along, with a look of fear in his eyes—as if something terrible chased him through the mist, making him glance around anxiously while walking yet dared not make any sudden moves, as if afraid of disturbing something in the mist.
