After eleven o’clock at night,

All the shopping malls had closed down, and the stores facing the street had lowered their shutter doors.

Only a few streets and alleys, along with night snack stalls, bars, and nightclubs, remained open, creating a lively nighttime atmosphere.

Lilly and the others stood in front of a coffee shop.

The ambiance was serene at night, but having encountered the girl that was burned multiple times during the day, Josh and the others felt that the scene before them was even more peculiar now.

Josh tightly clung to Lilly’s arm.

Hannah, too, tightly held onto Lilly’s other arm.

Zachary could only tag along.

Blake asked, “Where are we going?”

Lilly squeezed her fingers and finally pointed in a certain direction, saying, “Daddy, where does this direction lead us?”

Blake took a glance and replied, “A small alley behind the shopping complex.”

This area was a bustling commercial center. Recently, the small alley behind the coffee shop had undergone renovation and was intended to be leased to the owner of a food street, transforming it into a charming alley of culinary delights.
