Vera thought for a moment, then took off her apron and came out.

"I'll go with you. I'm afraid that it's not safe out there."

Minerva glanced at the clock. "It's still early. It should be fine. Furthermore, the supermarket is just downstairs. Just wait for me here."

Vera thought for a moment and said again, "Come back early then."

"Alright."

After Minerva went out, there was only Vera left in the residence. The surroundings became silent. She glanced at the curtain that was blown up by the wind and suddenly shivered.

She should have gone with Minerva. Staying alone here would always make her feel weirdly terrified.

Minerva took the elevator and went out of the neighborhood to the supermarket. When she walked past the entrance, she found that still, no one was allowed to go near the crime scene that was cordoned off during the day.

At the thought that there was a person who just died here that day, Minerva felt a little scared. Thus, she quickened her pace.

After arriving at the supermarket, she first bought salt that Vera wanted, then she bought some other necessities. Following that, she went straight to pay the bill as she wanted to head home quickly. However, she didn't expect that there would be such a long line at the counter as there were only a few people when she came in.

Minerva looked at her watch and found that it was peak hour.

Helplessly, she could only queue up with everyone. By the time the bill was paid, it was already dark outside.

Minerva carried the items and had no choice but to quicken her pace.

As it was dark, when she arrived at the neighborhood entrance, from a distance, she noticed that there was a dim light at the crime scene, which made it look gloomy and terrifying.

No matter how daring a person was, they would still feel uncomfortable in the face of such a situation, let alone someone like Minerva.

As such, when she walked past the place where the incident had taken place, she subconsciously quickened her pace. Only when she had walked further away did she let out a sigh of relief.

Just as she wanted to look back at the crime scene, she suddenly noticed a shadow behind her.

Minerva held her breath and her face immediately turned pale. Just like that, she stopped her desire to turn her head back.
