THE maid walked down, pushing the trolley. Because it was on the stairs and not on a smooth surface, the trolley's journey down was a bit rough. But the maid seemed to not mind. A minute later, they finally reached the ground.
The basement was big, probably as big as the first floor of the manor. It was dimly lit by the lamps attachmed to the wall. But a part of the basement was covered with shadows, probably the lamps in that part were not lit. That's why Luo Yan couldn't see what's there. Of course, the maid pushed the trolley on that part.
Luo Yan could see some silver threads the more they walked towards the shadowed part of the basement. When the maid stopped, a raspy voice spoke.
"You're late."
