The girl's body stiffened due to the call, her abyss-black eyes appeared dazed, struggling to melt away, revealing human pupils.
"...Lu Li...? I'm sorry! I, I... didn't protect Aunt Mary well." She apologized with tears, suddenly remembering something, unable to wipe away her tears: "Hurry..."
The pupils symbolizing awakening were once again engulfed by darkness; she reverted to the numb and dazed maid ready to serve.
"Jojo... Joanna... Oliver... Aunt Mary..."
Subsequent calls could no longer awaken her.
Lu Li didn't cleanse his body. Leaving Jojo, he came to the corridor, locked the door behind him, and knocked on the other rooms.
No one responded.
"Where are the others?"
Lu Li asked a servant clad in bizarre human attire, bowing low.
"The Divine Envoys have already gone to the hall," the servant replied.
Frowning slightly, Lu Li followed the red carpet down the long corridor, reaching the end where he found people gathered around a long table in the hall.
