Exiting the grand doors of the Starry Church, Xu Shu turned left, seeming to head in the direction of the Judgement Department.
He had a backpack on his shoulders, with Alice inside, weaving through the crowd—this backpack was the 'leather bag' she had referred to, featuring a transparent, breathable cover that allowed her to observe the outside world.
Alice curled up her plump paws, her round, chubby face full of contentment as she clutched a small biscuit, her eyes darting left and right.
Xu Shu glanced at her, didn't respond, and slightly bowed his head, quickening his pace.
Before entering the Judgement Department, Xu Shu suddenly veered left, his expression fierce as he ducked into a small, seemingly deserted grove nearby!
—Well, there were quite a few people in that grove.
Shadows flickered throughout the small grove, pairs scattered here and there, leaning against the thick trees, huddled in small groups.
