"You're right. If you head out solo but receive help from other sequence ability users, the Sequence Ability Management Bureau will find out, and you'll face severe punishment."
"When a solo sequence ability user finishes a hunt and returns through a safe zone exit, the Bureau officials responsible for inspecting god remains there will administer a lie test and a memory continuity test. They'll also upload the data on the god remains you brought back to the [Solo Mission Points] section of [Godslayer Camp]."
"The lie test asks only one question: 'Did you hunt these gods alone?' Its purpose is to confirm that, in your memories, you completed the hunt by yourself."
"The memory continuity test verifies that your memories haven't been rewritten by sequence ability users capable of altering memories, such as a [Writer] or [Soul Taker]."
"Uploading the data to the forum encourages eyewitnesses to report violations. Sequence ability users who submit a successful report with evidence receive a reward."

"I see. Then how will you help me?"
"I'll leave the safe zone with you. Once we're outside and spot a god you can hunt, I'll explain its traits, habits, and attack patterns. After that, you'll have to act on your own."
"If you fail to kill the god or run into danger, I'll use [Earth Bind] to restrain it, then replenish your strength with the [Primordial Totem] so you can escape quickly. That will keep you safe."
