Chaisi wasn't quite right—there was no one outside the car "calling" her name.
Aside from the sound of the Haisen River's waves, the road was dead silent.
However, Chaisi wasn't just hallucinating from his severe injuries. He hadn't been mistaken.
When Mai Mingle fell silent and listened intently, she faintly "heard" it too—but it wasn't so much that sound waves were vibrating her eardrums to create the sensation of "hearing," but more like a feather was gently tickling her auditory nerve from inside her brain.
"Mai—Min—gle—"
The "auditory signal" calling her name was being generated directly inside her brain.
The air outside the car was cold and still, without the slightest ripple.
After "listening" with bated breath for a moment, neither she nor Chaisi could tell if the "voice" calling her name was old or young, male or female—because it wasn't coming from a human throat to begin with.
"Mai—Min—gle—"
'...I don't know what's going on, but I know it's definitely not good.'
