"Hm?"
Land of Exile, inside an unfinished building.
Ai Li, who had repeatedly shuffled and dealt the cards throughout the entire process without growing tired of it, was about to gather them up and shuffle again when another Tarot Card fell out.
"Something happened again..."
"Has District 13 fallen already?"
Ai Li murmured. After receiving news that M and N had gone offline one after another, he had already regarded District 13 as fallen territory.
Even so, he did not display much emotional fluctuation.
He merely paid even closer attention to K...

"The Moons."
"Before this, V already had a Demon Card."
"The Devil represents restraint and ill omen."
"The Moon represents the unknown and unease."
"What exactly happened to that guy V?"
"How did he end up with so many bizarre fates?"
Ai Li narrowed his eyes, his fingers tapping against the floor.
Then, sensing something, he turned to look behind him.
He murmured, "District 10's [Nightmare] has been taken down."
"At last, some good news."
"Next, we can carry out the next step."
Inside District 13's [Nightmare].
Kong Yi and the other two were still struggling with how to make contact with the Initial Player and assimilate this [Nightmare].
Xu Xin's suggestion was simple. "If it really is 'mutual slaughter,' why not put on another act?"
Kong Yi stretched lazily. "How are we supposed to act? We're not like that Deceiving Ghoul. This Initial Player won't be so easy to fool."
As the two discussed it, Ji Yan suddenly staggered.
Xu Xin grabbed him with one hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yan's face was visibly pale and weak, and blood even trickled from his nose.
He wiped away the nosebleed
