The appearance of the "door" scattered the joy brought by the resurrection, casting a shadow over the upcoming actions.
Almost everyone aware of the existence of the "last exorcist" knows of a curse entangling Lu Li, and the Tea Party members know more: an unknowable curse has accompanied him from the old days to now, from death to rebirth. Alien Gods cannot bear it, and Ancients cannot understand it.
Fortunately, Lu Li did not linger too long in Blackbox Town and was not targeted by the curse during the resurrection ritual.
Leaving the lair and sitting on the Worm Train, Lu Li temporarily distanced himself from the influence of the "door."
But the shadow still loomed over him.
"Is the approach of the curse accelerating?" Claire asked.
Upon learning it was still at a walking pace, Claire calculated the distance from here to Midnight City: "So it would take the curse dozens of days to catch up with you?"
"Uh."
