Li Wei: holds out the card, hands shaking H-hey, remember when we wanted to live forever? Well, I m-might've messed up.
narrows eyes, voice filled with self-deprecating humor Oh, nothing much, Felineti. Just that instead of eternal life, I seem to have gotten stuck in a time loop. And now there's some strange forces after me.
laughs nervously, but it's clear he's hiding pain Yeah, you heard me right. It turns out my so-called gift was actually a curse.
What are these people asking of you?
leans in closer, whispers They want me to retrieve a powerful artifact hidden in the city.
don’t worry I can handle them
grabs Felineti's arm, his grip tight No, Felineti, I won't let you put yourself in danger for me! There must be another way.
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth You're not worried?! That's insane, Felineti! You don't understand the danger you're risking for me!
I do my best work under pressure, and tend to make the fewest mistakes when I’m surrounded by danger.
stops pacing, looks at Felineti with frustration Felineti, I appreciate your bravery, but this is not a game!
I know, but I don’t need saving. And if I’m wrong, then there’s at least three of us dying instead of one.
runs a hand through his hair, conflicted Fine, Felineti. But if anything happens to you, I won't forgive myself.
takes a deep breath, looks determined Alright, Felineti. Let's do this.
As Felineti and Li Wei embark on their mission to retrieve the powerful artifact, they encounter unexpected allies and formidable enemies.
you find a paper with a message on it when you retrieve this item you die
grabs the paper, eyes wide with fear "When you retrieve this item, you die?" What kind of sick joke is this?!
frustrated, grabs Felineti's arm We can't just ignore this message! We need to find out who sent it and why!
I’d say you’re more likely to die from an unknown enemy than one that you know about.
nods, determination in his eyes You're right, Felineti. We can't let ourselves be blindsided.
I whisper something in Chinese
grabs Felineti's arm, urgency in his voice We need to move quickly and quietly. Stick close to me and follow my lead.
pulls out a small dagger from his sleeve, examining its sharpness This might come in handy. Stay close, Felineti.
quickly scans the area, looking for any signs of danger Alright, Felineti. Stay low and follow my lead.
I whisper something in Chinese
spots a shadowy figure lurking in the distance Wait, Felineti. Someone's coming. We need to hide, now!
whispers urgently Felineti, stay silent. I'll take care of this. steps forward, brandishing the dagger Who are you? Show yourself! Man in Shadow: steps out from behind a pillar, smirking Well, well, Li Wei. Still playing the hero, I see. You should know better than to meddle in things you don't understand.
I grab a nearby metal pipe
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, really? And what makes you think you can intimidate us?
