Gu Castle Fortress, snowflakes swirling.
Apart from the sound of falling snow, there was silence.
Lin Lin stood atop the giant wall, extending his domain, gazing into the void beyond the line of umbrellas.
Beside him, Vice Officer Zou Hai silently held the dog's leash, feeling quite tense inside.
Niuniu, the Labrador Retriever with spiritual wisdom, sensed the anxious atmosphere within this silence, and unusually obedient, lay by its owner's feet, not daring to make a sound, waiting quietly.
"Death is not the end; death is the true rebirth."
Lin Lin suddenly uttered this sentence.
Zou Hai and Niuniu both didn't quite understand what this meant, but neither dared to ask, so they could only keep waiting.
"...Gu Shen is dead."
Lin Lin suddenly spoke again.
And this sentence startled Zou Hai greatly.
"Gu Shen... is dead?!"
