The square was packed with people.
Not a single face he could see looked relaxed.
Perhaps they were worried about their friends, or perhaps they feared what would await them when they entered an instance in the future.
"Yin Chao!"
From a distance, Yin Chao heard Bai Yu calling to him up ahead.
Only when he drew closer did he notice Bai Xu beside her.
"You... you're here."
Bai Xu lowered his head and greeted him somewhat awkwardly.
Bai Yu gave her brother a puzzled look, then explained the situation to Yin Chao.
"Things changed not long ago. I wanted to notify you, but you'd already entered the instance with the Miracle Squad."
She sighed. "Thankfully, you all came back safely..."
Yin Chao picked up on one detail.
"So, aside from us, no one else has come out of their instance on time?"
"That's right," Bai Yu answered. "We thought... something had happened to the people who went in, and no one had survived the instances...
But someone from the Wanqi Guild entered an instance with a special item.
He actually managed to send a message out!
Only Moqi Xinsi knows what the message said...
But one thing is certain: there are still people alive in the instances!"
Only Moqi Xinsi knew what it said.
Yin Chao considered this for a moment, then decided it would be safer to learn the contents of the message.
"Where's Moqi Xinsi?"
Bai Yu made a startled sound, apparently not expecting Yin Chao's first question to be about Moqi Xinsi's whereabouts.
She had intended to explain that she and Bai Xu had already sent people to negotiate with him, but he had refused to communicate and showed no willingness whatsoever to share the message.
"Moqi Xinsi is over there in the square."
Bai Xu
