In the Shelter, outside the ward.
Su Xiao inserted the key into the lock. Just as he was about to open the door, Morey asked from behind him:
"Shouldn't we form a team? Are we really going in like this?"
Morey seemed puzzled. Apparently, entering a dangerous area without forming a team was something she couldn't understand.
"Let's form a team."
The person who could only be heard but never seen, Shenyin, also spoke up.
"There's no need."
Su Xiao didn't care about forming a team or anything like that.
"It's very necessary, Byakuya. After reaching the sixth rank, have you never formed a team with anyone? Don't tell me you haven't even formed a solo Adventurer Team."
Morey looked at Su Xiao. The astonishment in her eyes was obvious.
Su Xiao found this difficult to understand. In the past, whenever he acted with others, the teams had all been assembled by Reincarnation Paradise. From the first to the eighth rank, he had never used the team-forming function attached to the Brand.
He had once been a Hunter. At the lower ranks, low-rank Contractors generally suffered from persecutory delusions, making it unlikely for Su Xiao to act in a team with others. By the middle and higher ranks, after the Contractors basically understood the Hunter's identity, Su Xiao had already grown accustomed to acting alone.
"You're already at the eighth rank. How could anyone still not know about team permissions? Could it be... you've never activated team permissions?"
At the end of his sentence, Shenyin made himself laugh. He felt this was unlikely.
As it turned out, this old sarcastic bastard had guessed correctly. Su Xiao had indeed never taken the initiative to activate team permissions. On the few occasions he had formed a team, he had joined someone else's.
