"Alright." The youth in the duckbill cap nodded, his gloomy expression finally easing slightly as he pulled out a brush and flamboyantly inscribed a great deal on the sacred decree.
He showed it to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu read it from beginning to end and, finding no problems, nodded, "Do I need to sign it?"
"No need," the youth put away the scroll, "The sacred decree binds causally. Now, cut it."
"It's not time yet." Chen Yu looked up again, observing the sky.
"What do you mean?!" The youth's anger flared up again, "Isn't this over yet?"
"Do you remember what you promised me back in the capital?" Chen Yu suddenly asked.
"Promised you what?"
"That if I could help stop the 'authorization,' you would rescue my family."
"That matter," the youth pondered, "The Director did promise, but he also explained the situation to you then. We don't know the location of the 'evil's' den. We too wish to eradicate all the evils at once."
