The hook-nosed captain made Luo Su wonder if this world wasn't only the world of Eight Legged Freaks, that perhaps it contained other things.
Luo Su thought this way because, in the previous world, Smith had mingled with the plot of Wanted.
Wanted was one plotline, and Smith was another. The two plots did not have any connecting conflicts or interests, but they nevertheless shared a hidden connection. Cross and that unfortunate politician had been the pivot that linked the two plots together. It was like an NPC that issued a mission. Interacting with him would trigger a side quest.
Although the World Mission existed only on the main plot, the people living in this world had flesh and blood and were not cold data. There was no such thing as an NPC, but the hook-nosed captain served the same role as Cross, serving as an NPC that opened up a side quest for Luo Su in the plot of Eight Legged Freaks.
