After we stored the mysterious bug, Mei Gui and I went around the forest, cleaning up the various Thistle Walkers. They were all spread out, allowing us to take them out one by one easily with my silenced Ace. We left all the bodies in the forest, since that wasn't the Hunters' problem to deal with. Proper clean-up crews would come into the forest to clear the place after we reported news of our success back to the Guild.
After we eliminated all of our targets, the two of us flew up into the air, and began searching for the portal we had came through from. Luckily, since we were high in the air, we could see the whole forest. The portal was pretty big too, so we were able to spot it after not too long. Entering the portal, we were shrouded in a purple light, and when we opened our eyes again, we were back within the Hunters' Guild, Shanghai branch. I pulled out my phone and checked the time.
8 PM. Took longer than I expected.
