"Although I don't want to disturb you at this time," Bai Wei's slow, lingering voice rose in Gerard's mind, "have you forgotten your situation? There isn't much time left for you to reminisce about those fatherly and filial days... Someone is already on their way here."
Gerard finally snapped back to reality, also hearing the footsteps coming from a distance, and immediately put away the photo before hiding in the innermost small room.
Soon, two members of the Skeleton Corps entered. They were only separated from Gerard by a wall, and he could easily overhear their conversation.
"Do you think the rumors are true?"
"What?"
"That Bishop Hallman of the Fourth District is dead, and it was Gerard who did it." A Knight said, "When I heard the news, I thought it was a joke."
"Of course, it's true, otherwise what are we doing here?"
"Do you really think Gerard would come back to this place? This is where he lived ten years ago, even the house has collapsed."
