The dense night, the thick fog that couldn't be dispelled swirled outside the house, making even the fire look dim and faint.
After waiting about ten seconds, the second knocking didn't come again.
There was no sound of breathing outside the door, nor any obscure presence.
"You stay here to protect Lu Li, I'll go check." Raimy, worried that the knocking was bait, crossed through the wooden door.
Lu Li and Anna waited, and shortly after, the wooden door opened from the outside, Raimy's ethereal palm holding a bunch of rough hemp rope: "There's a bundle of rope on the ground by the door... Could it be the Rope of Descent you mentioned?"
The sea breeze blew into the cabin, making the fire even weaker, and the black cat that had been lying by the fire scurried to Lu Li's side.
Raimy closed the wooden door, and Anna approached to take the hemp rope from her. It was just a section of ordinary hemp rope, severely worn and with its coarse fibers curled, bearing no special aura.
