Half-step Purgatory

Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet:
"I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf."
"You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles."
"But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.'
Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

Durin's Diary

Location: Entrance to the Underground River.


Environmental Scan Result: High concentration of virus residue, unknown biological material residue.


Big Orange and Eleven displayed the data projection in front of Durin, and the unknown biological material residue puzzled Durin.


· What does unknown biological material residue mean?


· There are traces of mucus similar to that left by slugs in the water, invisible to the naked eye.


Eleven's answer made Durin furrow his brows.


Forget it, it's quite normal for this kind of underground river to contain some strange things.


Thinking this, Durin didn't take it too seriously and activated the Retrospective Spell.


While speaking, Big Orange began assisting the scan.


· Image reconstruction in progress, the picture is flickering, noise is very dense, sadly you're in an undead state, I can't project the image onto your retina.
