"No, Taurus, you’re mistaken! I’ve always been Scorpio!"
Scorpio was still trying to defend himself. Seeing Taurus silent, he looked pleadingly at the others, "Come on, you all know me, right? I am the Scorpio who has always been swapping cards with you, guaranteed!"
The others looked at each other, all a bit confused.
"Proving whether you’re the real deal is simple. Just answer a question for me." It was Mu You who spoke this time.
"Oh, Aries, go ahead." Scorpio hurriedly said, eager to prove his identity.
Mu You glanced at him: "Among us, who was the first to join the association?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Scorpio.
Hidden behind the black fog, everyone could not see his expression. They only saw him hesitate for about a second before saying regretfully, "Sorry, I joined a little late so I don’t know about this. Can we ask another question...?"
Mu You exhaled and shook his head: "It’s a shame. You should know."
Scorpio joined the association at the same time as him, so he wasn’t late. On their first meeting after joining, Lion had already obsessively explained the history of previous meetings. The first person to join was Lion, this was something Scorpio shouldn’t have struggled with.
"Damn it, who the hell are you? Where’s Scorpio?" Lion was already the first to jump up, glaring and questioning at Scorpio.
It wasn’t until now that Scorpio seemed to have finally given in, shaking his head and laughing, "So, you’ve finally figured it out, huh? I guess I’m not good at blending in with groups."
After talking to himself, he looked at everyone and smiled, "Allow me to introduce myself, I am World Walker. You’ve probably heard of me."
"You are the World Walker?" Lion widened his eyes.
The others were also shocked.
Especially those like Libra, Sagittarius standing next to Scorpio, they subconsciously moved away from him, as if facing a great enemy.
World Walker has recently been a hotly debated ID on the internet and was the first person worldwide to be hunted collectively.
However, apparently, no one who went to hunt World Walker has returned, all vanished without a trace.
Recently, there have been hints on the forums that the remains of those who had initially gone to hunt the World Walker had been found. This person seemed to have the ability to kill silently. It is likely that all those hunters had fallen at their hands.
Many amongst those present were part of big powers and had already received warnings from their superiors that the ’World Walker was extremely dangerous’.
Scorpio seemed satisfied with everyone’s reaction and smiled, "I originally wanted to blend in with you guys and reach a peaceful exchange of interests, but looking at your reactions now, it seems you can’t accept me. What’s unfortunate is that I can’t do anything here; otherwise, it’d be simple."
"...Nevermind, I’ll find you individually later on," Scorpio finally seemed to make a decision and said.
"What do you mean?" Lion was taken aback and asked subconsciously.
"I’ve had a habit of collecting things since I was a kid. If I get a piece of something, I definitely need to collect all the other pieces too. Pieces of the Sky City, secret technique crystals, all the same. I prefer when these fascinating things are gathered together rather than scattered amongst people I don’t even know. It makes me uncomfortable." Scorpio explained.
"Damn, that’s quite the big talk you’ve got there!" Lion muttered. It was clear from the other’s intentions; he planned to snatch everyone’s crystals.
Scorpio ignored Lion and turned to Mu You, "You must be the Ghost Captain, right?"
After the question, he didn’t wait for Mu You to answer, but continued to inspect the others, "Since you’re here, then the Red Sickle Girl should also be a member of your association... who is it? You? You? You? Or you?"
Scorpio’s eyes swept over Taurus, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Pisces. Shaking his head finally, he said, "Forget it, there are so many women here, and with skin as a factor, it’s hard to judge identities by gender.
"...It doesn’t matter, I will find you all one by one later. Regardless of who you are or who you aren’t..." Scorpio muttered to himself.
Mu You frowned as he listened.
This person started by ascertaining his identity, then showed a peculiar interest in the ’Red Sickle Girl’, one by one inspecting all the women present, trying to identify her. Why? Was there some overlap with Lin Xue?
Then, an idea struck Mu You. He remembered Lin Xue’s legacy mission. The most valuable possession Lin Xue had was the Reaper’s Scythe. The legacy mission attached to this weapon had another participant in competition, is this connected?
Of course, this doesn’t mean that World Walker is definitely Lin Xue’s competitor. But don’t forget, World Walker also has a teammate, Red Sleeve, who uses a similarly eerie weapon. The permanent injury her ability inflicts could likely be linked to that chain of hers. If this chain is related to the Reaper and belongs to the same category as the Reaper’s Scythe, it would all make sense.
"Damn, stop mumbling to yourself!"
At this moment, Lion’s voice sounded. After the initial surprise, he turned to Scorpio, launching a barrage of questions: "Who the hell are you? Are you really the World Walker? Do you have any evidence to prove it? Show it to me! Why aren’t you saying anything now? Weren’t you very talkative just now? And why didn’t Dawn City appear? It’s Sky City, you know. Not bringing such an important thing out is a huge waste..."
