Handing It Over, Introductions

Having successfully coaxed and tricked a [Timid Ghoul] with "travel," he temporarily subdued it and tossed the [Dog Blood Ghoul Jade] into the Tool Bar.

It had always carried the negative connotation of bad luck and attracting disasters, and it might even have been consecrated. According to its background information, every Master who wore it had died in horrific accidental mishaps, comparable to Final Destination.

Though it was called a [Timid Ghoul], it seemed more like Liu Congming's [Unlucky Eerie].

Thus, Ji Yan still felt some pressure wearing it.

After all, he himself... had a disaster-attracting constitution. The buffs might very well stack because of it!

Ji Yan touched his right eye and discovered that the eyeball had fallen out completely, turning into a puddle of crushed ice shards in his palm.

The [Frozen to Death Ghoul]'s body health had already fallen below 5%.

"It's time to [Return Flow]. Are you planning to return to the [Roaming God Forbidden Ruin] before claiming that codename?"

Holding the still-beating heart, Qian Duoduo asked.

Ji Yan shook his head. "My next plans differ from what you think."

"For now, while taking down [444 Asylum] was a victory, the [Black Chess Faction] is still at a considerable disadvantage across the entire board."

"When I interacted with [Night Burial Maitreya] face-to-face, He revealed some rather 'secret' information to me."

"So, I have other tasks."

"You could also consider them additional Side Quests given to me by [Night Burial Maitreya]."

Qian Duoduo was somewhat bewildered.

"So what exactly are you going to do?"

After Ji Yan explained his next move, Qian Duoduo wore a strange expression. "Are you serious?"

"Serious."

"Besides, taking down [444 Asylum] wasn't my achievement alone."

Qian Duoduo rubbed his brow. "Fine."

"Even though I can't keep up with your train of thought."
