Chapter 72
20 Squad. A Continuing Fate.
A clearly unnatural fog surged and spread through the area, drawing the attention of the players who had been distributing items. Tension instantly heightened as their eyes turned to the scout.
The scout, a disciple from the inner family of the Sanghwa Sect, glanced at the strange fog and firmly concluded:
"It's Simu."
"What's Simu?"
A player asked while watching the rapidly spreading mist.
The scout answered with a grim face.
"When Original Jiangshi are bound together in chains and forcibly controlled with Ink Threads—a special string soaked in spiritual ink to suppress Jiangshi—they form a formation. The resentment and aura of the Jiangshi mix into the mist. That's what we call Simu."
Even players from the same world tilted their heads at the unfamiliar explanation.
"I've heard stories about Jiangshi... but never anything like this."
"I'm from Baekcheon, one of the inner families of the Sanghwa Sect. Trust me."
