About ten minutes later, a rhythmic "thump-thump" sound came from one end of the corridor, sounding from afar like a paddle hitting the ground. Each interval lasted roughly five seconds, moving only a short distance, pausing when it passed in front of Xu Huo's door, then heading in the direction opposite the main entrance.
