A Trap Being Laid

Fang Li's words, though not laced with hostility, still made the surrounding air slightly tense.

However, the Crimson Realm Denizens, known as the "Bone Collector," didn't care at all and instead answered Fang Li's question truthfully.

"Just call me Rami."

This is how the other person introduced themselves.

"At least, that's what everyone calls me in this situation."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li continued to gaze at the battlefield ahead, watching the continuous explosions of Crimson Flame and deep blue flames, and uttered these words as if talking to himself.

"Then I'll call you Rami, until you come out of this torch you're inhabiting."

Upon hearing this, the old gentleman named Rami nodded in surprise and said, "To be able to tell that I am inhabiting the body of a torch, you are indeed not an ordinary human."

"It's nothing surprising," Fang Li said somewhat indifferently.

Immediately, Fang Li slowly turned his head, raised his eyelids, and looked in Rami's direction.

"After all, you can clearly see that there is another line inside the torch."

As those words fell, a chill began to creep into Rami's heart.

Because Rami saw it.

I saw Fang Li's eyes.

A pair of ice-blue eyes.

It's like eyes that can see right through a person's weaknesses.

No.

These eyes see more than just weaknesses.

What the eyes see is certainly beyond what others can imagine.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain what this chill is.

"... Should I really say that he's worthy of being chosen by that ' Crimson-Eyed Flame-Haired Killer '?"

As if to conceal his expression, Rami pulled his hat down slightly to cover his eyes and said this.

"I think I can understand why the Reiji Maigo ended up in your hands."

Fang Li raised an eyebrow slightly.

Fang Li still vaguely remembered some information about Rami.

This Crimson Realm Denizens, jokingly referred to as the "Bone Collector," actually has an extremely prestigious background.

————"Spiral Lute".

I believe that no one, whether Flame Haze Warrior or Crimson Realm Denizens, would be unfamiliar with this name.

Because this name belongs to the most outstanding free master in the Crimson World.

Including the Sealed Heaven, many excellent Inherent Skill were created by this Crimson Realm Denizens, bringing a truly essential influence and impetus to the development of Inherent Skill.

And this "Spiral Lute" is Rami.

"The Bone Collector" is simply a title Rami earned by possessing the torch and collecting the torch's Power of Existence over hundreds of years.

The reason he did this was simply because Rami wanted to restore an item that his former lover had given him.

An item that Rami never even had a chance to look at before it was damaged.

Restoring items that no longer exist is an immensely difficult task, even for Crimson Realm Denizens and Flame Haze Warrior, whose power lies in existence.

Fortunately, the title of the most outstanding master of self-mastery is not undeserved.

Over hundreds of years, while collecting the Power of Existence, Rami also successfully created the Inherent Skill in this area.

However, to activate this Inherent Skill, an extremely large amount of Power of Existence is required.

However, Rami did not want to achieve his goal by devouring the Power of Existence of humans, like the other Crimson Realm Denizens.

In my opinion, we'll be defeated by the Flame Haze Warrior sooner or later anyway, so the risk is too great. It's better to take our time and achieve our goal slowly rather than take that risk.

Therefore, Rami resides in the torch, allowing himself to manifest in this world without expending his own Power of Existence, and slowly collects the Power of Existence of the dying torch to show the world that he is a harmless being and will not attract the Flame Haze Warrior's attacks.

Of course, this means that Rami, who cannot reveal his true form or freely use the Power of Existence, is practically without any fighting ability.

Therefore, Fang Li had absolutely no suspicion of Rami.

Unexpectedly, Rami also knew that the Reiji Maigo was inside him.

This was something Fang Li hadn't expected.

So, Fang Li looked at Rami again.

In its eyes, the Ice-Blue Demon Eyes had disappeared, returning to its original pitch-black color.

Seeing Fang Li's performance, Rami gave him a reassuring smile, but his words were anything but negligible.

"Actually, I was commissioned by the Chief of Staff of the ' Bal Masqué ' to set up a Inherent Formula in this city. Once it's done, I'll receive a large amount of Power of Existence as a reward."

The unexpected information made Fang Li's eyes narrow slightly. He didn't speak, but silently looked at Rami, urging him to continue.

"I can't tell you the effects of the Inherent Formula, otherwise I'd be violating the mandate. Not getting the reward is a minor issue; if I get targeted by a behemoth like the ' Bal Masqué,' my future actions will be in serious trouble," Rami said in a mature voice. "However, I can tell you that activating this Inherent Formula requires meeting a certain condition. Once that condition is met, the Power of Existence activate the Inherent Formula will be directly drawn from you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Fang Li certainly understood.

This means two extremely important things.

1. Once the Inherent Formula is activated, the Inherent Skill engraved within it will be activated, and the Fang Li that has had its Power of Existence absorbed will likely disappear directly.

After all, Fang Li is still a human being, and once his Power of Existence is devoured, he will inevitably die.

Second: The "Bal Masqué" that has its eye on the Reiji Maigo may not come to Misaki City.

Because the Inherent Formula that the other party commissioned Rami to set up in the city can be activated once a certain condition is met, it does not require anyone to drive it. The other party can simply wait for the Inherent Formula to take effect in order to achieve their own goals.

Fang Li didn't know what the purpose was.

Fang Li only knew that she had very likely fallen into the trap of the "Bal Masqué".

A trap is being set.

Moreover, Fang Li knew that asking Rami wouldn't help.

Otherwise, the other party would not have allowed Rami to have contact with them.

Therefore, Fang Li asked another question.

Why are you telling me this?

Upon hearing this, Rami couldn't help but smile.

"Because I don't want to offend either the ' Bal Masqué,' nor people who take the ' Bal Masqué ' so seriously."

Rami said sincerely, "I just want to quietly accomplish my goal, and I don't want to offend anyone who could threaten me, including you."

After leaving behind these words, Rami's body transformed into birds and disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Fang Li simply gazed at the birds flying away, and lowered his head thoughtfully.
