"This game is called hide-and-seek."
The Bubble Man said it would hide and have Liang Zhi try to catch it.
But that wasn't the most important rule. When he caught it, he also had to say who it was. Otherwise, Liang Zhi would lose.
"Then what happens if I lose?"
"If you lose, you just start over. You keep trying to catch me until you win."
At the time, Liang Zhi had no idea what "starting over" truly meant.
He just thought the price demanded by the Bubble Man relic was far smaller than he'd imagined.
Besides, if he completed the game, he would get the answers he had always wanted. It seemed like a fantastic deal.
By then, the strange allure had clouded his judgment. His mind was consumed by a thirst for knowledge, desperate to find the whereabouts of the Primordial Cells.
So Liang Zhi agreed.
And that was the beginning of his suffering.
The Bubble Man even gave Liang Zhi a Druid's Spine and told him to equip it right away.
