After entering the room, the seemingly casual Kieran had already activated [Tracking].
Although it should be absolutely safe in a player's room, it was someone else's room after all. Besides, Kieran had shown that he could use some kind of power in his room.
It was enough to raise Kieran's vigilance.
Musou level [Tracking] allowed Kieran to easily spot the traces in the room.
Other than the puppet that acted as a guide, there were many sets of footprints.
But …
None of them led to the small door at the corner of the stairs.
All the footprints were from the stairs.
All of them were from the left side of the Y-shaped stairs.
Dak, Dak, Dak.
Kieran walked up the first half of the stairs. When he reached the platform that was split into left and right, he didn't go up the stairs on the left. Instead, he looked down at the footprints.
They were lined up neatly.
It was intentional.
It seemed like someone had arranged it.
As for the reason?
Think about the puppet from before.
It seemed like the test was still going on.
Kieran squinted his eyes and took out [Python-W2] from his waist, firing at the stairs on the right.
Bang Bang Bang!
Clear bullet marks were left on the marble steps, but nothing unexpected happened.
"As expected, this is the right way to the second floor!"
With the thought in his heart, Kieran leaped up the stairs with bullet marks all the way to the balcony of the second floor.
It was a balcony facing inward, allowing Kieran to have a clear view of the people who walked up the stairs.
However, there was no one there at the moment, only a table.
Further away, there was a closed door.
On the table, there was a folded piece of paper that looked like an invitation, but it also looked like a greeting card.
Kieran glanced around and walked towards the table.
After checking the surroundings and making sure there was no danger, he picked up the folded paper.
There weren't any special marks on the outside, it was all white.
Inside, there was a paragraph of words.
2567:
If you see this invitation letter, we would like to congratulate you. You have joined us.
You might have doubts and confusion but we will explain it to you slowly.
But first, you need to reach the Advance Rank.
Don't ask us what Advanced means. You need to find the answer yourself.
Only those who have reached this level have the qualifications to open that door and see us!
May you reach your goal soon!
People who have to hide their identities.
…
Hu!
When Kieran finished reading the message, the paper suddenly burst into flames.
Kieran curled his lips in disdain as he watched the paper quickly turn into dust.
"Deliberately mystifying things!"
Kieran commented.
Apart from this evaluation, Kieran really couldn't think of anything else.
From the moment he entered the room, the puppet had been creating a 'test' atmosphere. Kieran didn't know what would happen if he followed the puppet through the small door or the left staircase, but he knew the puppet didn't know everything about him. At least, it didn't know that he had advanced into the Advanced Rank.
"In other words, although that creepy smiley face can mark me, it doesn't have the ability to eavesdrop!"
After getting the conclusion, Kieran couldn't help but heave a breath of relief.
If that creepy smiley face could really eavesdrop, Kieran would have to resort to some special or extreme measures.
He didn't want to expose everything about himself to the puppet's eyes.
As for the creepy smiley face being able to mark him?
Two times in a row, the 'clone' and 'competitor' accurately appeared in front of him without any signs, it had proven the problem.
However, Kieran couldn't do anything about it for the time being.
He tried many ways to remove the creepy smiley face but all of them failed.
Whether it was normal cleaning or potion-type cleaning, they were all useless.
He even tried to peel off the skin but after the treatment, the creepy smiley face would regenerate along with the skin.
It made Kieran understand that unless he chopped off his hand and stopped the treatment, the creepy smiley face would always be on his hand.
Fortunately, he spent most of his time in the dungeon world.
Even when he returned to the game, he would habitually stay in the game lobby.
The restriction of this mark on him was infinitely reduced.
Huu!
Kieran quietly breathed out a turbid breath.
Kieran looked at the door further away.
He really wanted to know what was inside.
But his rationality told him it wasn't the time yet.
Even though his Spirit had reached rank I, it was only his Spirit attribute. His Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Intuition were all below the Advance Rank.
More so, rank I was the lowest rank among the Advance Ranks.
An organization like this would never be formed by a bunch of the lowest rank I, there must be someone of a higher rank.
Once a conflict broke out …
Thinking about his competitor's performance, Kieran quietly turned around and went down the stairs, leaving the dome clock tower.
Without any obstruction, Kieran arrived outside the room and walked towards Amid Ai Road.
“2567！”
A familiar shout sounded from afar as Lawless ran over in a hurry.
When he saw Kieran was safe and sound, he heaved a breath of relief.
Then, it was a machine-gun interrogation.
"Why didn't you wait for me?
Although I was unlucky to enter the dungeon, we should fight side by side in the big city! "
"What is that thing?"
"Is it dangerous?"
"Are they an organization?"
"Why did they find you?"
…
Facing the series of questions, Kieran briefly explained the situation after he boarded the train.
"There's such an organization?"
Lawless' words were filled with shock.
"Who knows?
The big city is expanding every day, new players are flooding in. Even if there are a few crazy, eccentric fellows, what's so strange about that? "
Kieran avoided the important points and dwelled on the trivial ones.
It was similar to what he said before.
Ever since Kieran knew about Lawless's flaw in his character, he tried his best to avoid agitating his friend with words.
"Hmm, I guess so."
Lawless nodded without noticing Kieran's reaction.
Then, under Kieran's guidance, the topic between the two of them quickly turned into a one-man show for Lawless.
From the secrets of the veterans to the interesting things that happened in the big city, to the new buildings that appeared on a certain street.
When Kieran stopped in front of 13th Wallway Street, Lawless's mouth didn't stop for a second.
Kieran's eardrums were buzzing and he was seeing stars.
Looking at the room in front of him, Kieran eagerly pushed the door open.
He had never realized the importance of the game room at that moment.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Lawless, who was following closely behind Kieran, suddenly realized he wasn't allowed in.
"Nope.
I think you should return to Harvest Inn to repay your debt … Oh right, I've sent a message to Rachel saying you skipped work without reason. "
With that, the door slowly closed.
"No!
2567, you can't do this!
"We are friends!"
Can you bear to see me being controlled by that woman?
You … "
Lawless roared loudly.
"I've recorded it."
Kieran's voice came through the gap of the door.
