Lin Sanjiu finally knew where her "calamity" would come from.
"I'll switch locations every three hours," Ryuji said. He rubbed his face and his lips curled into a bitter smile. "I don't even dare to sleep. Aside from the Mokugyo Forum and the shop that sells [Smile], I never stop by a place more than once. Still, despite everything I've done, I can't shake them off. I'm terrified and tired."
As they walked out of the Mokugyo Forum, they sensed the first sign of dusk approaching. The sun was beginning to set and the sky was red streaked with orange and gold. It looked as if a group of gods was having a war behind the cloud, far beyond their reach.
After walking in silence for a long while, Lin Sanjiu decided it was time. She pitched her voice very low and whispered into Ryuji's ears, "No one is following us right now."
