"Dong—"
The big clock in the center of the town chimed a total of three times.
After the last chime ended, curfew time also arrived.
Exactly ten o'clock at night.
At the precise moment the second hand ticked, Yangshan Town under the shadows suddenly fell silent.
The people who were clamoring on the streets just a second ago instantly shut their mouths and hurried into their homes without looking back; the bustling shops also closed up and turned off their lights, hanging up closed signs.
The sounds of talking, walking, laboring... all disappeared.
Even the barking of dogs and chirping of birds went completely silent, leaving only the rustling of the wind blowing through the grass echoing in the town.
Even though the rumored "thing" only appeared after ten-thirty, the town was already silent by ten.
