After Li Yi gave a brief explanation, the tense atmosphere indeed eased by more than half.

However, Shao Yong'an scratched his head and asked in a low voice,

"But didn't we say there were no tangible ghosts in this mission?"

Li Yi could not be bothered to answer that question. He merely took a few steps forward and stood at the corner to observe.

Chen Jie offered an explanation:

"You can understand it as this mission having no Root Ghost, only a root rule—the Calendar.

The Calendar is the concrete manifestation of the rule, while Nong Yueke's family is the medium connecting to it.

We are within the rule and are attempting to seize control of it.

Then, to ensure the mission's integrity, there must be an opposing side to stop us.

That opposing side can be called a 'ghost.'"

With that concise explanation, Shao Yong'an formed a complete framework for the mission in his mind.

In truth, this mission was not complicated. It could even be called very simple.

Because the path to survival had long been laid out clearly before them.

The real difficulty was how to collect all eight Number Cards while ensuring their survival and preventing the ghosts from taking them away.

Li Yi's arrival was like giving everyone a reassuring pill.

Li Yi took the lead, Shao Yong'an followed second, Wen He was third, Guo Liang carried Xu Nan in fourth place, and Chen Jie brought up the rear.

"Wen He, when and where did you last see Wen Yongxin?"

Before setting out, Li Yi asked this question.

But Wen He was not a store clerk after all, so her answer was vague and could only narrow it down to a general area.

After Shao Yong'an recorded it, he marked the spot on the wall.
