"…Who are the Kai Family Hunters that entered the Nest this time?"
Mai Mingle turned back, and the answer from her fellow captives confirmed her own memory—"Tian Xi, Chebri, and Sha Xue."
She looked down and posed the same question to Tian Xi again. He sighed, his voice tinged with exasperation as he shouted up, "It's me, Chebri, and Connie!"
Li Stan quietly drew in a breath.
Robert immediately rushed forward, blocking the crack with his back. He whispered, "…Is he compromised? Or is it Sha Xue who's been compromised?"
'If the outside world is an elaborate trap set by the Nest, it seems unlikely they'd leave such an obvious way in and out, or mention it so casually. It seems more plausible that something is wrong with Tian Xi's own perception.'
"Yes, that must be it." Suo Beihua looked up, a sudden understanding dawning on her. Her expression turned grim. "Something's happened to Tian Xi and the others."
