"Where are you taking me?"
Qin Manjiang questioned Flower beside him.
Flower said gently, "To see Kong."
"Kong?"
Another person Qin Manjiang had never heard of. Flower, Bone, Kong... all their code names were single characters...
Was that really possible?
Qin Manjiang compared this with the situation in Fu City's Eye Realm. Each player chose their own code name the moment they were selected. These single-character code names either followed some rule or reflected an agreement among them. Otherwise, they couldn't all have been single characters by coincidence.

A good person?
Perhaps from this woman's perspective, the man called Kong was a good person.
From then on, no matter what Qin Manjiang asked, Flower gave no answer.
She led Qin Manjiang through turn after turn in the city's alleys. Unlike what Qin Manjiang had imagined, their "base" wasn't in a basement or somewhere like that, but in an abandoned factory in the city.
Still, it was indeed a suitable hiding place for them.
Qin Manjiang had imagined a few scenes, such as them gnawing on human flesh or torturing people to death...
But when he walked through the factory gates, what he saw... was a somewhat thin, frail young man.
It was already winter, yet he wore only a thin white hoodie. It looked a little too large, as though it wasn't his own.
With both hands in his pockets, he was facing an opening where a factory window had been, his eyes narrowed and his head tilted toward the sunlight.
Seemingly hearing them, he turned his head and slowly opened his eyes.
His hair was messy and somewhat long, though it didn't reach
