"Jingle-"
With a clear chime, two figures abruptly appeared outside Huai'an Residential Complex in the Old Town south of the city.

He recalled what had just happened. Zhong Xueran had regained consciousness and used the [Three Pure Ones Bell], freeing him from that twisted shadow and crossing more than half the city to reach the game's designated location, [Huai'an Residential Complex].
