Seeing that the as about to take it away, Gu Fei hurriedly extended his sword and hooked it back to hiht finally stepped forth froh, each of the like octuplets as a result

“So… I gotta wear this?” he asked

“That's up to you That poncho bears a number associated with each of us,” one of them answered

“Number?”

The person nodded “Haven't I just mentioned that we don't personally know one another and only te a quest of our oithin the place? But because we're about to face Flowergazing in the Fog, the strongest guild in Xiawu City, none of us wishes to leave any possible traces that can cause us trouble in the future As such, we have no choice but to shroud ourselves inthis, the person indicated the corner of his poncho where the number '4' was sewn to Gu Fei

Gu Fei quickly looked at the same corner of his poncho and saw the number '9' sewn on it

“We don't know one another's name, so we'll address each other by our number You can call me Four, Ah Si1, or Lao Si2 It's your pick, but don't you ever call me Xiao Si3 I hate how it sounds,” said the player with the number '4'

“Don't ever call me Lao Er,” said the player with the number '2'

“Don't call me Xiao San,” said the player with the number '3'

“You're all welcome to call me Lao Ba4,” said the player with the number '8'

Gu Fei quietly donned that poncho as he nodded “I don't mind Call me whatever”

“Since you've accepted this, can I take it that you are clear on e are gathered here and called you to join us?” Four asked

“While nobody has explicitly said it, I think I uys otten co, and you all gathered here in hopes of accoht?”

“Yes,” Four affiriven up their quests when they saw the need to go against the Flowergazing in the Fog, while there were plenty that have given up after failing I'm afraid all that is left is just the nine of us,” Four continued

“Then, surely you have to share what's the content of your quest, yeah? Spit it out so we can better work together on achieving it,” Gu Fei suggested

“Of course,” Four said As the eight ave a brief overview of their quest description When that is all over, they turned the question toward Gu Fei “How about you?”

“Me? assassinate Giordano,” Gu Fei replied simply

Even though they earing cover on their faces, he could still sense their expression of surprise Prepared to go up against Flowergazing in the Fog's quest, these ence and ell aware that the NPC Giordano was an i off this NPC would likely result in the total failure of Flowergazing in the Fog's quest, right?

Of course, theseAfter their momentary astonishotten so far?”

“Uhilante Corps Chamber on the third floor, but at the sauards around, so it isn't easy to strike there While it will leave the safety of the Governrounds at daytiuards within the courtyard Including those players fro the area like hawks, I have yet to find a good opportunity at the moment,” Gu Fei shared

The eight nodded their heads incessantly when Six suddenly called out, “Besides that, you see else?”

“Oh, what's that?”

“What azes of all the players froht outside the entrance to the city hall?” asked Six

“He he!” Gu Fei chuckled “Talking about that, why don't you guys share what infor did not talk about identity or friendshi+p and wasinforang, he figured he should adhere to the rules He could not possibly allow hiht? Thus, before he showed his hand, he naturally wanted to first get more infor information with them

In the end, Four sighed “If we had already gotten enough information ourselves, ould have already completed our quest; why else would we still come here and discuss the matter like this? Perhaps, what you know is the last piece of the puzzle to the completion of our quests”

“Well, in that case, shohat you've got!” Gu Fei said

“Fine Let me tell you in detail,” Four squatted, randoround Gu Fei could tell that the h sketch of the city hall's courtyard For arrows, he began to describe in great detail all the NPC activities within the courtyard

Chapter Notes:

[1] 'Si' is the pronunciation (Hanyu pinyin) for 四 (Four)

[2] 'Lao', in this case, is for 老 (Old) People may casually affix it to the name of someone their senior

[3] Conversely, 'Xiao' er person to the speaker

[4] The joke here is that 老八 (Old Eight) is the homonym of the Chinese word for 'dad' or 'father'
