At lunchtime, Monrojina also returned from outside.
A satisfied smile rested on the face hidden beneath her veil.
Clearly, she had extended her Web of Karma to more people again today.
War brought chaos.
Chaos bred desire.
As long as she bestowed causes upon others, she would eventually reap the effects of the future.
Monrojina pushed open the bowling alley's door and casually removed her veil when she saw Ye Qiyan.
"Long time no see, Brother Ye."
"It hasn't been that long, has it? We saw each other in Arcane Academy City?"
"It took me nine months to clear my last stop, though only five days passed in the Wasteland."
She walked over to stand opposite Ye Qiyan and looked him up and down.
"Mm, no injuries. You're just as you were the last time we met."
As she spoke, Monrojina lightly tapped her Wand Sword. A Brocade Box promptly flew out of its gemstone.
"For you. It should be enough to let me downgrade another chain."
Ye Qiyan did not refuse Monrojina's gift.
Because of [Karma].
Her gifts were, in essence, reasonable transactions and would not affect his Upgrade Option.
"A gift? I'll accept it. Speaking of which, how many chains are left?"
Monrojina blinked.
"Still twelve. The number hasn't gone down."
She took out all her Ritual Cards.
[Cause and Effect Recompense] [Endless Cause and Effect] [Purification] [Riot Strings] [The Past of Man] [Three Questions]... [Ritual Card · Secret of Everlasting Life]
There were twelve Ritual Cards in total.
Ye Qiyan had already known about the first six.
"Twelve already?"
"Yes, I now have twelve Ritual Cards. I got there at my last stop.
I could have left much earlier, but I suddenly found traces of this card. Finding the key to the barrier took quite some time."
