The shadow play emerged from the exit, followed by a faint sliding sound from behind, as the circular carousel slowly closed. She held her breath, slightly tilted her head, focusing her attention on her ears, waiting for possible footsteps.
Tick, tock, tick, tock, time slowly passed.
After the sliding sound completely disappeared, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she went to the carousel and checked for mechanisms similar to those above but found none; it was a one-way path.
However, for her tracking Wu You, it was good news, as it greatly reduced the chance of an accidental encounter with Wu You.
After calming her inner worries, she continued forward along the only path. Her back pressed tightly against the wall, ready at any moment to use the Master of Shadows' shifting effect to change her body's injuries, though she might not have time to use it.
