Shin ran for quite a while before finding a small town to settle and rest for a while. He had already contacted the Springfield Household about his situation, so all he needed to do now was to wait for them to arrive.
Naturally, he made sure to cover all his tracks when looking for a safe place to rest. He had even bypassed a couple of towns and villages along the way to make sure that the people from the Black Serpent Mafia would not be able to find him that easily.
After finding a decent inn where he could rest, Shin took a quick shower before lying on the bed, exhausted.
However, he did not immediately go to sleep. Aside from still needing to be on guard, he also needed to hear some explanation from Uno.
"Alright, can you now explain what happened earlier? How come you have been affected by some sort of corruption? What is that dark influence that you are talking about?" asked Shin.
However, Uno did not respond to him.
