Burkxi City, before dawn.
Rows of various "castles" and "estates" are renowned in this bustling city, where the Sun has yet to rise; it is the last hour of darkness when suddenly, a pair of gray eyes appear without warning, followed soon by the figure of Tang Qi, stepping out from the void.
A "Curios" falls behind him, transparent and illusory, with icy-cold and death-laden tentacles, which, along with those strange gray eyes, shrink into a tiny "Death God Octopus" and swim back into his stomach, devoured by Gluttony.
"Not exactly flashy or aesthetically pleasing, but a very practical Curios."
Tang Qi, satisfied with the item he extorted, nods as he now stands amidst the city below.
This place is incredibly far from Blue Deer City, or rather the whole of Secret Phoenix State, but somewhat closer to the Federation's second-largest city, Jiatai City.
