Step by step, Richie walked up to the creature and stopped.
Amidst the sickening sound of slime, a huge eye opened in the middle of the rotten flesh-like entity. Unlike a human eye, it was more like a dragonfly's eye, composed of countless small eyes. The eye was covered in slime, as if it hadn't been opened for a long time.
"Hello, Bofran, right? Bailey introduced me here." Richie said to it in Abyssal.
The flesh-like creature named Bofran stared blankly at Richie for a while, seemingly needing time to recall who Richie was talking about. Amidst one of the unsettling slimy sounds, a mouth with four petals opened on one of the tentacles and it said in a sharp voice, "Evil Soul Bell?"
"Yes, that's him. He sent me here to find you. He said you owe him a significant favor, and now it's time to repay it." As he spoke, Richie took out a black object from his pocket and handed it to the "rotten flesh."
