Ma Bond then said, "If we can encounter someone who's part of the game and get an understanding of the situation, it could help us eliminate this curse..."
At first, his thought was to protect Zhao Yu from death, since he's a rule-class spiritualist here on a trial mission.
The task assigned to him by headquarters gave Zhao Yu a higher priority than a grade F mission.
But now, he thought that simply throwing this F+ rule-class mission to the locals might cause significant damage, so he decided to gather some more intelligence before leaving.
Following Ma Bond's line of thought, the team was divided into two groups, with one staying by the vortex channel awaiting additional personnel.
The other group went out to collect intelligence.
Originally, Ma Bond hoped Zhao Yu would stay put, but Zhao Yu insisted on going along and he could only agree.
Little did he know, Zhao Yu didn't see this Spirit World invasion event as something simple.
