"Lin You!!"
Suddenly, a whistling sound entered Lin You's ears.
She abruptly opened her eyes, only to find not a blade but a black shadow violently pouncing towards her. A familiar feeling surged in her heart.
"It's Feil!"
The shadow stopped right on Lin You's shoulder, transforming into a black cat.
"That was close; if you hadn't awakened me, I would probably be in trouble this time," Feil said with lingering fear. "Actually, I could hear your voice, but it was just a bit weak and blurry. He must have used some method to sever our connection."
The blonde woman across from them glanced at the broken rope in her hand. Not surprised, she casually tossed it aside.
"It doesn't matter if you escaped. After all, everyone is here." The green vines on her hand quickly regrew into fingers.
"Now, the game officially begins."
All at once, the green glow that had been shrouding the area suddenly swelled, wrapping Lin You, Chris, and the others in its entirety.
