Chapter Text
Dante was just finished collecting level up tickets for the new identities, they were certain for sure that these would be a good asset to future encounters later on. They checked their inventory, specifically threads. The singularity laying on their head hummed with small, comforting ticking noises as they held one in their fingers.
Oh fuck, their head hurts.
Right, what Faust said earlier.. Holding a thread still seemed to bug this clockhead of theirs.
They placed the thread down and made their way to collect all of the threads in a single container, now rushing to collect their pad. Their fingers scrambled through numerous sections, and even frantically closing an ad of Vergilius' face being deepfaked into a calendar girl's image with the caption saying, "So lonely.."
Good thing they closed the ad before they got spotted by the Red Gaze himself.
And of course, uptying.
The most exciting part.
They sometimes forget just how important uptying is asides from levelling them up. Oh well.
Dante shrugged, glancing at their inventory (if they have any eyes, that is) and gathered up all of their ID Level Up tickets along with the large container of threads. Their fingertips feel cool upon touching the container itself, the headaches (or clockaches..) had lessened due to the container suppressing the effects of the thread inside it. Few can hear the words their heart has to say amidst all of the clock ticking, but not everyone can decipher what does Dante hum, as no one knows what they truly sound like. Hell, not even Outis could guess what Dante is humming.
Dante hummed ticks and tocks, their red coat flowed and aurafarmed in the halls.
They recall their last extraction, Hong Lu had recently acquired his Lord of Hongyuan ID. It was pretty neat, so to say, even as it reminded the manager of the hard trials they faced just by dealing with the likes of Jia Qiu alone. Nonetheless, they also acquired some Heishou IDs too, adept ones no doubt. For now.. Dante will focus their attention first on uptying the Lord of Hongyuan. The other Sinners are busy with the Spring Cultivation, as Xichun is truly needing some knowledge before going on to her duties. Was Hong Lu voluntarily in those classes?
... They don't know, just assumes he did. Perfect that they're busy with their own classes.
