Arc 2The Plague and the Demon

Zhu Yan took control of the Cannibal House instance, escaped with the Plague Ghost’s infection, and used a fabricated identity to return to Anwu City. As plague spread and he reunited with Guan En, Zhu Yan confronted a summoned Demon and ordered it to grant the players’ wish before betraying their hopes.

  • Zhu Yan exposed Walter’s unpaid rent, took over the Cannibal House, and destroyed its weak point as the instance began, clearing it while Guan En was carried to victory again.
  • Zhu Yan boarded the Monster Tram, learned he had contracted the Plague Ghost’s virus, and received a ten-day exemption period to seek a cure.
  • Zhu Yan used the tiny typewriter to create a new identity, returned to Anwu City, and convinced Captain Huang that he was not the player the police sought.
  • As reports of Pseudo-humans and sudden deaths spread, Zhu Yan learned from a forum post that a Witch and a Demon had attacked a player after a ritual.
  • Zhu Yan met Guan En, who admitted he had infected a police officer and asked Zhu Yan to help him survive the spreading plague.
  • Guan En prepared a ritual to summon a Demon while Zhu Yan hid nearby in the Fortune Source Hotel stairwell.
  • When Guan En wished for a cure to the Plague Ghost disease, Zhu Yan weakened the Demon and ordered it to grant the wish before letting the players’ hopes rise and betraying them.
