"What just...huh? My leg?! It’s healed!"
"Huh..."
Through the eyes of a zako that Zhen Liu left behind at the inn, he saw how the three tezcatlipocas proceeded to fly out into the Dozing Salamander continent, almost bowling over a poor middle-aged man with a busted-ass leg, and then fuck off in various directions to places only they knew where.
Well, places that only they and he knew where.
Closing his eyes, Zhen Liu quickly attempted to see if these new bodies he had created were still connected to his own spirit.
’Hmmm, it’s faint...but it’s still there. Good.’
Due to empowering their newly minted bodies with his own [Chaos], the three tezcatlipocas were basically tagged with very faint trackers. It wasn’t enough to know exactly where they were, but it was enough for Zhen Liu to determine general directions and distance.
From what he could sense, Quetzalcoatl was heading west, Huitzilopochtli was heading south, and Xipe Totec was heading east. A part of Zhen Liu wanted to make a snide comnt about how they were playing up their attributes a little too hard, but he thought better of it.
Instead, he decided to simply focus his mind elsewhere...after informing the others that he was going to be talking to Logos and Pathos about this current turn of events.
"I will be back later; keep inford if sothing else happens while I’m elsewhere."
"Don’t you literally have eyes everywhere in this building?"
"Surprisingly, no."
As Zhen Liu left his friends and family to their own devices, he activated his connection to Logos and Pathos in order to ask about two related issues.
The first issue: whether or not the tezcalipotas were going to be a problem once Smoking Mirror was dealt with.
The second issue: whether or not the curators had anything on hand that could help to resolve them being a problem.
Zhen Liu preferred a non-violent solution, but he would gladly take a violent one if needed.
’Logos, Pathos. You two have probably already seen what just happened. Any idea on what to do if the other three Tezcalipocas decide to betray our trust?’
=Actually, yes,= Logos answered. = And surprisingly, it was all thanks to an idea stemming from Pathos. =
’Really?’
