However, when they saw the people entering and leaving the place, Ree Shil and Grace Spring both suddenly paused.
There was a decent flow of people in and out of this card house, with soone either entering or exiting every few minutes.
But here’s the key: after watching for a while, they noticed that about one in 10 people had a card player’s rank displayed above their heads.
"Goodness! Have we stumbled upon a secret nest or sothing?"
Grace Spring was both shocked and delighted.
"...You go ahead and scout it out first."
After so thought, Ree Shil decided to send Grace Spring.
Grace Spring: "Huh?"
Ree Shil: "No need to go in, just wander around outside the door a few tis."
Just now, he had observed that none of the card players entering or exiting were administrators.
Generally, in the Instance World, even if card players encounter each other, they mostly don’t interact and just focus on their own missions.
However, based on the situation at this card house, it was clear that there was organized, disciplined behavior going on for an extended period of ti.
So many card players gathered together was undoubtedly a problem.
When it ca to creating such large-scale behavior, Ree Shil could only think of two notoriously infamous organizations.
Not to ntion, chaos in the Primordial World often had sothing to do with these two organizations.
Now that he considered all the available information and intelligence, it indeed seed very likely.
Hence, he was seriously suspecting that this was a Left Heart Sect or Right Heart Sect base; it made perfect sense.
Considering that the other party might have a prop to identify Left Hearted and Right Hearted individuals, as well as his own chaos of the Left and Right Heart, he dared not get too close.
That was why he wanted Grace Spring to scout it out alone.
As long as this guy didn’t expose his identity, the other party wouldn’t even be able to identify that he was a genuine card player from the Cube Card taverse.
However, before Grace Spring could even set off, there was no need for him to go.
[Ding dong!]
[Detected another administrator, do you want to initiate guidance]
Because as a young lady walked out from inside, they received a panel prompt.
Obviously, the other party had also received the prompt, and her posture visibly halted for a mont.
Imdiately afterward, she looked over in their direction, presumably activating the guidance.
For a mont, the three people from both sides exchanged a deep, aningful glance.
Then Ree Shil and Grace Spring saw her stretch lazily and, while doing so, subtly point in a certain direction.
So they tacitly agreed to set off with asured steps.
In this way, both parties kept their distance while heading in the sa direction.
Who would’ve thought that they would end up walking nearly 1 kiloter?
Finally, the young lady t with them in a private booth at a teahouse.
"Finally, I’ve t fellow colleagues."
Looking at the two, the young lady let out a long breath.
Her race was quite unusual, being a skeleton person.
Yes, a person made entirely of bones.
She was called a young lady because of her dress, as well as her long hair.
Keep in mind that even many Human Tribe mbers had no hair or little hair, but this skeleton person was envied by them for her long and beautiful hair.
Of course, this was just Ree Shil’s tactful ntal comntary.
At this mont, the skeleton girl grabbed the tea water, poured it all down her throat in one go, and then it flowed out from her jaw in a single breath.
"Ah..."
But she seed to enjoy it, afterward extending her hand to the two for introductions, "Creaky Bones, how do you two call yourselves, and which major district are you from?"
"Fury District."
"Wise Zone."
The two replied in unison.
Because this touched on a rather sensitive issue.
Keeping their identities here might affect the competition later on.
"Really? What a coincidence, I’m also from the Wise Zone."
Creaky Bones looked at Grace Spring.
It turned out the selection of administrators wasn’t just limited to the City Competition.
There were also others from different channels.
However, everyone started out similarly, all having their first ti as administrators.
It was only after learning this from Creaky Bones that the two finally let their guard down.
Then, Grace Spring told the other party her na was Grace Spring.
Ree Shil told the other party his na was Henry Thompson.
"I have to say, I really envy you guys for blending in well with the indigenous people here."
With the flas flickering in her eye sockets, Creaky Bones sized up the two.
"Look at , other card players can tell at a glance that I don’t belong to this world."
"If I were sent to the Underworld, I might be able to put up a disguise."
"You guys have no idea how hard it’s been for to hide these past ten days."
"But, it wasn’t a waste of effort after all."
She pointed at her skeletal fra.
So, Creaky Bones shared the intelligence she had gathered.
The first piece of bombshell information confird Ree Shil’s speculation:
This card house was indeed run by the Left Heart Sect.
As for how she had infiltrated it, she skipped that part and just focused on the conclusion.
From the Left Heart Sect’s standpoint, Aberration Cards were undoubtedly the Right Heart God’s attempt to ddle with the Cube Cards.
However, for the Left Heart Sect mbers who didn’t even know that administrators had been dispatched, they believed the Left Heart God was accepting this developnt.
Since the Divine Deity wasn’t interfering, they naturally had to step in.
In their view, once Aberration Cards beca powerful, the Right Heart World would surely rise to power.
As absolutist Left Heart followers, the Left Heart Sect couldn’t accept this situation happening.
So, ever since discovering this world, they had been accumulating power, connections, and wealth here.
This card house was likely just the tip of the iceberg.
"Now that it’s co to this, is it possible that the Right Heart Sect has also developed its influence here?"
Upon hearing this, Ree Shil recounted the incident with Teacher Su.
"That’s right. The current situation between both sides is like water and fire, constantly targeting each other."
