No Angsa hunters among the group were willing to give up the chance to enter underground ruins, but no matter how fiercely they argued, they maintained a tacit understanding—never mentioning a word about what's underground at the research institute ruins.
Even when their argument involved that thing, they would opt for using vague references, such as "that thing," "target," "relic," and so on.
Sun Hang wanted to extract related information from the female hunter's memory, but unfortunately, the memory left in the mimesis was limited to the period before the female hunter's death; beyond that was a blank.
Amidst the Angsa hunters fighting over whether to draw lots for quotas, a male hunter with a sullen expression suddenly said:
"I have a way to let most of us enter the underground ruins."
"What way?" The others quickly asked.
"However, a sacrifice is needed."
"Sacrifice? What do you mean?"
