At this mont, Xia Pingzhou and Ayase Origami were sitting at the bar, sipping orange juice and watching the ani "Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju Season 1" on the television.
Not long after, a tall, brawny man pushed open the iron door and walked in from the underground passage. He was draped in a white cloak, with neatly cropped black hair.
The middle-aged man paused at the doorway, lifted his head and swept his white-clouded eye around, his gaze skimming over everyone's faces.
For quite a while, no one in the group paid him any attention, as if deliberately ignoring him, until a large black raven flapped in from outside and landed softly on the bar, prompting soone to speak.
"Yo... isn't it our Bai Tanlang who's co back," Anluns said with a teasingly low voice as he played billiards.
"Old Wolf, it's been a while." Robert took a sip of his drink, and a hoarse tallic sound ca from behind his chanical head.
"I thought you were dead." Yanmo Lin crossed her arms and tilted her head indifferently.
"Brother Wolf, I've missed you." Anluns smiled slightly, "How's your ti with those demons on the mountain? Hmm... seems like they've already tad you quite a bit, your wild aura looks thicker."
"If you want to die, just say so, slot machine boy." Bai Tanlang said coldly with a lowered voice.
"You two still get along so well, I'm envious." Bloodline cradled her face in both hands, turning her crimson eyes towards the two of them with a teasing grin.
"Haven't seen you for just a few days, are all of you sick or sothing?" Hacker mumbled.
At that mont, the black raven on the bar dissolved into Crow Feather, and a figure clad in a black tailcoat appeared atop the bar.
"Where's your Demon Crown?" Urushibara Osamu turned his head and asked Bai Tanlang with an expressionless face.
Bai Tanlang was silent for a mont, then calmly explained, "For the ti being, it's with the Child of the Year Beast. Last night, when Lin Xingshi and I were seriously injured, it was the one wearing the Demon Crown that saved and the Year Beast Monarch. I'll get the Demon Crown back from it in due ti."
"I see..."
Urushibara Osamu softly murmured, glanced at him, and then shifted his gaze away, opting not to press for further details.
Because he understood, now that the Demon Crown was with the Child of the Year Beast, retrieving it would naturally be difficult—the Little Nian Beast's strength was clear to all; it had temporarily fended off Lake Hunting's duo by itself, and there likely weren't one or two people in the whole world who could contend with this demon.
At this point, Bai Tanlang glanced around and then asked, "Where's Tong Zizhu? Dead?"
"Went to find her mom." Hacker replied casually while fiddling with his phone, "Just assu she's already dead."
"I see."
Bai Tanlang wasn't surprised at heart; he had initially felt that Tong Zizhu joined the group just for the novelty, and wouldn't stay long. Eventually, she'd find an excuse to ditch or just leave without a word. This outco matched his intuition.
"Leader, is your raven tattoo still on Tong Zizhu?" Bloodline suddenly turned her cheek and asked, sipping red wine.
"Yes, it's still there," Urushibara Osamu said.
"Then you should be able to see Tong Zizhu's location?" Bloodline asked.
Urushibara Osamu replied, "Early this morning, she left Hai Fan City with those people, likely to avoid us."
"I see." Bloodline smiled, "All we can do is wish this traitor girl has fun."
"Leader, should I go take her down?" Yanmo Lin asked expressionlessly.
"No, there's no need," Urushibara Osamu shook his head, "Her departure is insignificant."
As they chatted, the Hacker, sitting in a swivel chair and drinking orange juice, suddenly showed a change in expression and was montarily stunned.
"Ugh... everyone, there's suddenly good news," the Hacker paused, then lifted his head.
"What's the good news?" Xia Pingzhou turned his head to glance at him.
"We can seize this mont to act against Lake Hunting," Hacker pondered, "We still have ti to move since everyone's here."
"What do you an?" Anluns raised his eyebrows, glanced sideways from his billiard cue, and asked curiously.
"Uh... you probably won't believe this," Hacker hesitated, "but Lake Hunting, they've had infighting."
"Infighting?" Urushibara Osamu looked at him.
"Yes, they've turned on each other," Hacker said, tossing his phone to Urushibara Osamu.
Urushibara Osamu caught it with a hand, glanced at the surveillance footage on the screen, a trace of confusion flitting through his deep eyes, "Infighting... at a ti like this."
Upon seeing this, the other mbers of the group clustered around, leaning in to look at the image on the phone.
Xia Pingzhou was montarily surprised, and asked expressionlessly, "Isn't this too sudden?"
"What's sudden about it?" Andrew said with a somber tone, "Sudden is what we need, everyone get ready to leave now, or I'll blast your heads one by one."
"Although it seems a bit absurd, this is a golden opportunity, right in Hai Fan City's central hospital..." Hacker said, "Lin Xingshi is seriously injured, and it seems that the Gu Family mbers left Hai Fan City last night on the Train Demon. They've gone back to Li Jing."
He paused for a mont and turned to Urushibara Osamu: "Of course, this could also be a trap, and they're just waiting for us to take the bait, creating such an illusion... What do you say, leader?"
Urushibara Osamu was silent for a mont, then simply uttered a single word:
"Go."
As he spoke, his figure dissolved into a flurry of Crow Feathers, fluttering down and disappearing.
Seeing the leader had already left, the group mbers inside the bar exchanged glances.
Imdiately afterward, Robert was the first to stand up, placing his hand on the wall and creating a mahogany Teleportation Gate. Then he turned his head, looking at the others through the chanical box on his head:
"Let's go."
