Author: So hey guys. Before I start......

Zheng Yun: Wait! Firstly, Ryo and I have something to say!

Minamoto Ryo: Wait! Slow down, Zheng Yun! Before we start announcing whatever we want to announce, what do we say first?

Zheng Yun: Oh yeah right! Merry Christmas everyone!

Author: Now then, before I was interrupted, I want to say that firstly, I don't have an official art for all five NX characters.

Zheng Yun: Aww....

Minamoto Ryo: Why?

Author: I can't draw. 😁 Also, do all of you readers notice that I did give a brief introduction to the characters? Some of them even have a short description of their characteristics.

Zheng Yun: Oh yeah! Now you'd mentioned it, that's right!

Author: But I will release the character art soon and p.s., it is an AI artwork so props to the artists who had drawn the original work before the AI edited or stole it. So now.... it's your turn Zheng Yun and Ryo-kun.

Zheng Yun: Right! *Turns to Ryo* Say something Ryo!

Minamoto Ryo: Mhmm...

Zheng Yun: Okay...? So firstly, Ryo and I are kind of like Lu Guang and Cheng Xiao Shi from Link Click.

Minamoto Ryo: True. I am like Lu Guang from Link Click but it doesn't mean that I am his twin. I am quiet like him, yes, and I also love simple clothing and aesthetics, but for my ability, I can look back into the past before the event for at most 12 hours, but I can go a bit further, maybe for three hours to four hours further into the past.

Zheng Yun: And for me, true that I am like Cheng Xiao Shi for some aspects, but for me, my ability to jump into the past is for at most 12 hours, but like Ryo, I can go back for more than 12 hours, maybe three to four hours, Oh and one more thing, Ryo and I don't need pictures to go back in time or look back into the past before the event, once we look at the scene of the crime when we are in there, our abilities will just activate.

Minamoto Ryo: That is true. By the way,...The ability of the others in the NX works in a similar way too. For Chie, hers needs touch. For Yi Chen, he needs to be calm, but in some circumstances, his ability will be activated on its own. For Mirae...Hers is through trigger words and eye contact. As long as she said the trigger words and maintain eye contact, she could brainwash anyone to do her bidding or read someone's thoughts by just touching someone's hands.

Zheng Yun: Yeah. For other stuff, you shall see to find out. Now Author, it is time for you to finish this little announcement.

Author: Thank you Zheng Yun and Minamoto Ryo. Now, I would like to introduce myself and give the final few announcements. *Takes a deep breath* Hi everyone! I am Sakuya Hana, my pen name of course, and I am the author of Behind Closed Doors and a mysterious modern fantasy novel that I am writing in 2025. It is nice to meet you all! Alright! Now the introduction is out of the way, let's jump to the final announcements shall we?

Author: Firstly, You all notice the sudden change of style for Chapter 4 of Behind Closed Doors right? Yeah, that is the rewritten version of Chapter 4. The original chapter 4 is very dull and boring that I just change it. Speaking of which, I am going to update Chapter 5 and 6 this and next Sunday before my internship starts so please read them! Oh yeah....Another announcement, I am rewriting Behind Closed Doors from Prologue to Chapter 3 and I might not be able to finish them on time. I know that I shouldn't give excuses and I won't, so I'm sorry, sorry for not being able to update the chapters in time due to personal issues so please forgive me!

Author: and for the last announcement, I might not be able to update the new chapters for Behind Closed Doors every Sunday, so I will update it every two Sundays. It will help me with my new workload with my internship and all, and it will help me to write a better chapter. Oh and for those who had joined the membership on Ko-fi, the updates are every two Saturdays so do take note.

Author: Lastly, I want to thank you all for your support so far. Although there are less people who are reading it, yes, but I am truly grateful for it and am happy that you all got to see the effort that I had placed into Behind Closed Doors. Your support are appreciated and I hope that you all will continue to support it in the future as there will be surprises waiting for you all after Behind Closed Doors, especially the relationship between Zheng Yun and Minamoto Ryo and the small hints that I dropped along the way which hints on what happened in the past between those two. I hope that I could continue to churn good stories and novels too until my very end.

Author: Oh well...*glances at watch* time's up I guess so see you guys next update and the update is on the 29th of December. See you all on that day! Bye!

Hey guys, this is it for today and see you guys on the 29th of December.
