Grete had come along with Luo Xiaotian.
Grete was still somewhat dazed. During the previous Time Loop, he had asked His Eminence how to escape Belial, and His Eminence had said Belial would be in no mood to bother with him when the time came. Now, that had proved true.

Nyarlathotep's expression darkened.
