A few minutes later, as Feng Luo was about to step out of the wooden sliding door of the rustic room, he suddenly stopped in midstep, turned, and said to Haruko still sitting seiza-style on the floor, "Right, Miss Haruko. I still have something I'd like to ask."
"Please ask, Mister Kudo."
Haruko, clad in her snow-white sakura kimono, had a calm expression. Her black, waterfall-like hair, as a backdrop for her face, had a unique taste of serenity.
"The mission this time is a solo mission, isn't it?" Feng Luo said, looking at Haruko who had her forehead slightly creased. "But apparently, some people have violated the rules. They have been gathered by an organization named Hound, sharing mission information, then accumulating the joint mission rewards on a few people, allowing the few people to have very high points. They also communicate offline. Is this considered cheating and being unfair to other players?"
