For two entire days, Jiang Xiaobai neither stepped outside the front door nor crossed the second door. He locked himself in the cottage, spending most of his time holed up in the study, poring over every book there, but ultimately found nothing related to those two mysterious individuals in black.
In these two days, it wasn't Gao Liu who brought him meals. Since his first visit, Gao Liu hadn't appeared again.
When Jiang Xiaobai finished reading all the books without any results, he decided to leave the cottage and search for clues outside. He decided to first look for Gao Liu; he hadn't seen him in the past two days and wondered what he'd been thinking about.
After making several inquiries, Jiang Xiaobai found where Gao Liu's dwelling was. Upon entering the yard, he saw light shining through the paper window, and a silhouette of a person holding a book.
Jiang Xiaobai walked over and knocked on the door.
"Gao Liu, it's me."
After a moment, the door opened.
"Why are you here?"
