[You return to the port and, following the signpost, set out on the path to 'Spring Onion Tuna Tavern'.]
[...]
On the halfway, you run into the ronins gathered around the Inferno as expected.
Lin Xun easily dealt with the ronins, this time he didn't choose to leave directly.
Instead, he stepped back a bit from the Inferno, out of its light, to verify the guess in his mind.
He tried to test the reactions of the Three-headed Lion and Valkyrie to the Inferno.
He ordered the Three-headed Lion to approach the Inferno, and as expected, the flesh-and-blood creature couldn't resist the Malice, in the radiation range of the Inferno, it would also be driven into madness by Malice.
However, the clueless Three-headed Lion didn't attack him but began to self-mutilate to vent its Malice.
"Such a kind creature…"
Lin Xun retrieved the Three-headed Lion and subsequently summoned the Valkyrie to continue the experiment.
