History
Cat-and-Mouse Game
Guan En was assigned to help intercept Zhu Yan in Anwu City. While traveling there, he noticed his superior behaving strangely and fell asleep to a voice announcing that his abilities were loading 9 10 11.
During Cat-and-Mouse Game, Guan En’s mission was to assist his teammate and stay alive. Zhu Yan, disguised as the attendant Zhang Li, gained his trust and sent him toward another carriage. Guan En later recognized the deception and chased Zhu Yan to the station exit, but Zhu Yan escaped just ahead of him 12 15 16.
Guan En cleared the instance because Zhu Yan had been his player teammate, not the Pseudo-human he had mistaken for his superior. His colleague died in the incident, and Guan En blamed himself for misunderstanding the mission and failing to suppress the creature 16 17.
Devouring Villa
After Zhu Yan used Concealed but Unreleased, Guan En could no longer remember his name, and surveillance footage showed only a blurred silhouette. Guan En nevertheless chose to enter Devouring Villa when he learned that the fugitive was likely to participate 19 20 25.
His mission required him to kill the player threatening the Cannibal House’s landlord and protect its most precious treasure. Reluctant to kill the person who had saved him, Guan En tried to persuade Zhu Yan to return with him instead. Zhu Yan destroyed the house, allowing both players to clear the instance, and escaped with Guan En’s gun 25 35 36.
Plague outbreak and alliance
After the villa, Guan En withheld information about the Plague Ghost and his ten-day Plague Exemption Period, fearing that strict isolation would keep him from finding a cure. He later admitted that he had infected Captain Huang while Zhu Yan took the blame for the resulting outbreak 41 47.
Guan En sought Zhu Yan out in the old district, and the two agreed to cooperate for their survival. Guan En bought ritual supplies and set up an altar at the Fortune Source Hotel. As the Demon approached, Guan En asked for two doses of medicine or permanent immunity for himself and Zhu Yan 47 48 49 50.
Appearance
- His player mark depicts a caged bird on his left palm 29.
- When he met Zhu Yan in the old district, he wore long sleeves and trousers despite the heat; his face was uncovered, and he had haggard redness beneath his eyes 47.
Personality
Guan En tries to protect lives and uphold his duties as a police officer. In his beginner instance, he reassured the person he believed was a frightened attendant and wanted to minimize casualties. He was deeply distressed when a colleague died because of his mistaken understanding of the mission 12 13 17.
He is observant and resourceful: at the villa, he found a discarded milk-tea cup as potential evidence and deduced that Zhu Yan had manipulated the landlord. His fear of death could also override his responsibilities; he concealed the plague risk to preserve his chance of finding a cure and allowed Zhu Yan to take the blame for the outbreak 29 32 41 47.
