Carlos led everyone back to the living room of his temporary residence.
The ability to teleport a whole group with a snap of his fingers was rare. He hadn't even needed an offering. If this instance had been livestreamed, Carlos wouldn't have dared reveal his strength so recklessly.
When they landed, Zeng Lai reacted badly to the teleportation. He sat down on the sofa in a daze, his pupils slightly unfocused.
Yu Xing, by comparison, was used to it.
His stomach rumbled. Qu Xuanqing glanced at him, worried he might suddenly give in to his appetite and take a bite out of everyone. Without even looking around the room, she cleared her throat and asked, "Carlos, is there anything we need to know right away?"
Carlos didn't actually know why his two teammates had come. There had been too many people around at the church, so he hadn't asked.
Hearing the urgency in Qu Xuanqing's voice, he looked puzzled, but answered anyway. "Today's the first day of the task. At midnight, the lowest-ranked participants will be eliminated, so just make sure you don't contribute the least. There are plenty of other pitfalls, but I can tell you about them later..."
At that, Qu Xuanqing grabbed Yu Xing. Then, coolly nodding to Yi Qing, who was drifting silently down from upstairs, she said, "I'll take him to get something to eat first. We'll be back soon. Keep an eye on Zeng Lai for me. I can sense damage to his soul."
"Huh?" Carlos tilted his head. "Get him something to—"
Qu Xuanqing swept out the door with Yu Xing in tow.
Yi Qing hadn't even had a chance to greet them. Watching them go, he furrowed his brow slightly and said in a refined manner, "Yu Xing doesn't seem quite right."
