“Gu Ren, I’m here.”

So how could he disappoint her?
Gu Ren tilted his head and seriously tried to recall the direction from which Ye Zhi’s voice came from just now. After a few seconds, Gu Ren raised his hand and pointed the gun to the upper left hand corner.
Gu Ren held the gun straight, but did not pull the trigger. His arms remained in place, hanging in the air, maintaining his current posture.
Gu Ren recalled the sound again and frowned. According to his memories, It should be in this direction, but his intuition was telling him that it felt off.
As his vision was blocked by the cloth, he could only rely on his intuition and sharp hearing to judge where Ye Zhi’s voice had just come from.

Ye Zhi showed a slight smile.
Gu Ren had no time to think whether he hit the right balloon or not. As at that moment, the sound of Ye Zhi’s voice came from a different speaker.
Gu Ren tilted his head and listened attentively. Ye Zhi’s clear voice once again flew into his ears, “Gu Ren, I am here.”
It had the same tone. This time, the sound came from the speaker in the upper right hand corner.
