The timeline rewinds to half a month ago.
On the 23rd floor of Building 6, Unit 1, in the Andu Academy District, was Fei Zhijie's dwelling.
In the span of half a month, two separate groups, one led by Lu Heng and the other by Chen Linian, had visited one after the other to investigate Fei Zhijie.
On the same day, just ten minutes before Lin Zeyu knocked on the door.
Fei Zhijie, holding a withered finger, was engaged in an intense internal struggle.
This withered finger was something he had brought back from the Abyss World; it belonged to Evil God Barton.
During the melee, he found this finger in a temple.
The finger seemed to possess some sort of magic, constantly tempting him.
After the failure of the Resurrection Ceremony, he chose to return and brought the withered finger with him.
In the following few days, he hesitated over whether or not to follow the mission hint.
