Harbinger Bird.
Yuan Wuwei had a deep impression of that name.
Because less than an hour ago, the moment he heard Tu Ge mention it, he had been yanked out of the car and abandoned in the poison-miasma-filled wilderness.
If his luck had been any worse, if his distress signal had failed to summon Lieutenant General Joseph, or if Ronan's help had arrived a little later, he would most likely have died from severe allergies and suffocation.
Harbinger Bird... Just hearing the name had nearly gotten him killed!
That scene was truly too awful to revisit.
Because the incident had unfolded too quickly, he had not had time to consider the logic behind the name's appearance. Thinking back now, he only remembered that Songkan had sent him a photo of the scene after Joker and High Priest Lanier's "Sacred Space" collided. Some strange residual traces had appeared in the photo...
Yuan Wuwei lowered his head and pulled up that photo. Amid the blazing white, sacred halo, he immediately spotted the faint, slender marks.
There might indeed have been some connection, or it might have merely been psychological suggestion, but Yuan Wuwei felt that the marks in the photo bore a striking resemblance to the shadow currently circling overhead.

He had even explained the term: a fish that was always delusional about flying to the Styx.
Why? How could Tu Ge be so certain?
Ugh, the more he thought about
