August 24th, 01:30. Hai Fan City, inside the underground bar of Old Wu Antiques Shop.
At this moment, the battle between Lake Hunting and Nian Beast's group had ended for a while, and the members of the White Crow Travel Brigade had returned to their local base.
It was now deep into the night, the clock on the wall ticked away, and the entire bar was silent. The neon signs flickered on and off, the faint scent of alcohol lingered in the air, Xia Pingzhou and Ayase Origami were sitting on the sofa playing gobang.
Urushibara Osamu was sitting at the bar, casually feeding a crow while playing with a deck of cards.
The playing cards were stacked layer upon layer, forming a precisely structured pyramid. The crow let out a hoarse cry and dropped a feather at the top of the pyramid, causing it to collapse with a crash.
