Nightfall!
The bone-chilling wind howls past...The few remaining leaves on the roadside plane tree rattle and fall, landing on the ground like broken-winged butterflies fluttering leisurely...
The streets are desolate, occasionally interspersed with a few people tiptoeing by...
In front of an isolated quadrangle courtyard, dozens of men clad in black stand. They stand hands behind backs, casting indifferent gazes upon the ancient courtyard ahead, thus adding a touch of bizarre ambiance to this tranquil night...
