The instant Qin Ran saw the numeral tattoo, he instinctively thought of other numbers.
Simply put, since there was a Ⅲ, counting backward would mean there had to be a Ⅰ and Ⅱ, while counting forward would give Ⅳ, Ⅴ, and perhaps more.

"That's right! This is the guy!"
"You really are the legendary Shadow's
