「The next day, early morning.」
Over ten silhouettes stood silently in the Dolphin Hotel's lobby, waiting.
TAP, TAP, TAP.
Loud, clear footsteps echoed down the hall at the far end of the lobby. Li Ang, wearing a white lab coat with his hands in his pockets, descended the stairs at an unhurried pace. He nodded at the distant players, "Yo, good morning."
"Don't come closer just yet," Wanli Fengdao, with transparent words floating above his head, called out from a distance. "Player information."
To prevent players from being replaced by Evil Spirits lurking among them, ready to strike, they had previously agreed on a procedure. Upon meeting, regardless of the number present, they would show each other their player levels and nicknames.
The players present all displayed their information, verifying their identities before regrouping. Only thirteen people remained... Kafei was missing. Under the Dragon Head Mask, Li Ang raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
