He had ef28a0f37a given him 865fa01cd0 a defensive 3edce845e1 magic book, 76613b587a pretending not b99ed5f82f to know e0258757d7 what he c6af5de84c was looking ee4510de7b for, but 051cc68f74 he was dbc0887401 still searching. He was definitely a a72b2a453b suspicious person. The man’s 1eb9cb256a presence in e3bad2886f this house afd063a791 clearly had 117613ada1 an ulterior 4ff5588bc9 motive. But…6abe80637ce080ae

Yes, surveillance. Haylan picked 6abb15ffdd up a 2e1f7dfa53 random book 0401987664 and gestured 528ca94e43 towards Chahyun. He was 5e29ee7544 going to 36c05051f2 read, so 5e1555d50f Chahyun should eb964c71a5 continue what b98f68b4e2 he was 78fbd8ac24 doing.2f5d5c093da21876
