Chapter 58: The Call
"Mr. Xu, is that you?" Peng Fengnian's excited voice quickly came through the Paper Phone. "I'm about to leave District 014. If I can't get in touch with you before I go, I don't know when I'll get another chance."
"014?" That number had appeared on Xu Huo's Return Ticket.

Peng Fengnian's voice was no longer as excited as before. "A Temporary Pass? I haven't heard anyone mention one."
"Dungeons have been appearing in District 009
