Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu had shaken the poor man to his core, yet there was no physical response from him. The other people had also tried on their own and tested the man as well but got no response.

"It's no use, lets go try the other houses." Lin Mu spoke.

Lin Mu then went to the next house and broke down the door as well. He walked inside the house and found its sleeping residents. The others followed him inside and watched as he tried to wake them up.

Lin Mu had checked that actually they were alive and not dead. They just seemed to be highly unconscious and unresponsive, while their breathing still continued.

"Why is this happening?" Yuan Tu spoke out loud.

Everyone heard his words and reciprocated with him, as they all were wondering about the reason for this phenomenon.

"We need to keep on checking the houses, there are bound to be more people that are not affected by this." Lin Mu spoke.

"Yes, this can't just happen to the entire district. We are still awake so there should be more people." The portly man affirmed.

The party of five went from house to house checking on people. At first, they would just break in through the front door but later understood that this was ineffective, as the people who were unconscious would not respond either way. In the end, they just decided to make as much noise as possible to alert anyone that was unaffected.

They had wanted to inform the guards outside the district about this occurrence, but then decided against it as they thought that staying together was the right decision at this time. Who knows what would happen if they were alone, thus they did not want to take the risk.

It took them over two hours before they were even able to find a person that was unaffected by it. They were at a rather small house, which looked old. Its paint had faded away and the wooden frames of the windows and door seemed to be pretty weathered as well.

As before, they knocked on the door hard and shortly got a response.

"Who the hell is disturbing my sleep at this time?!!" A person shouted from inside the house.

"Wake up! We have a huge problem. We are the people who are doing the night vigil." The portly man spoke.
