Late at night, the mahjong parlor, for the first time ever, pulled down its roller shutters and hung up a sign saying it was temporarily closed.

Inside the closed mahjong parlor, the lights were dim, and the mahjong tables and chairs prepared for customers were now occupied by a dozen or so players.

The one in the lead was the mahjong parlor owner, Sister Hongyan.

"Where's Awei? Why didn't he come?" After counting the number of people, Sister Hongyan frowned, took out her phone and dialed a number, but the other party hung up.

"This kid's gotten cocky, huh?" Sister Hongyan said, her face showing displeasure. "Let's have a meeting first, we'll deal with him later!"

The meeting's content, naturally, concerned the task of dealing with the wanted criminals.

"If you ask me, we should just accept it!" a fat man smoking a cigarette said with a sneer. "The mission is limited to a hundred people. To put it bluntly, as long as the mission is open, we'll have at least a hundred against one. What's there to be afraid of!"

"I think so too!" a short-haired woman chimed in. "A hundred wanted criminals, and we can't catch him? If we capture him alive, everyone can line up and take a hit. As long as we inflict damage, we get points. We can easily rack up two or three thousand points—what a profitable deal!"

"Use your brain, will you?!" a muscular, bald, burly man yelled. "Would the altar give out such an easy mission? That's a bounty of ten thousand! Since the rule is that the mission is invalid if not a hundred people sign up, it means that in the altar's eyes, this guy is worth a hundred people to deal with! Don't end up becoming someone else's star!"

"No matter how powerful he is, he's just a sacrifice." The speaker was the young man with the tattoo on his arm who came with Third Brother. He held up a badge: "His bounty is still in the sacrifice section, which means he's not a hero yet. He shouldn't be too difficult to deal with..."

"The sacrifices can be powerful too." Third Brother pressed his hand down: "Have you heard of Shen Liangyue? She was a top expert in the last round. When she advanced after ten missions, she already had more than forty rewards. Even ordinary heroes might not be her match!"

The wanted criminals started talking amongst themselves, making the dimly lit room noisy. Finally, Sister Hongyan tapped on the table to quiet everyone down.

"Look at the registration progress for the mission," Sister Hongyan said, picking up a badge. "It's only been a few hours since it was posted, and the number of applicants has already exceeded seventy, and it's still steadily rising. Do you know who these people who signed up are?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Sister Hongyan snorted coldly, pointing at the fat man and the short-haired woman: "They're both just like you two, seeing there were a lot of people, thinking it must be a good deal, and impulsively signing up like idiots!"

These words made the two men blush. The bald, burly man asked in a low voice, "So we're not going to report it?"

"Are you willing to not report it?" Sister Hongyan looked at him. "If you succeed in a mission that easily earns you two or three thousand points, what if someone else succeeds? The strength of the bounty hunters in the entire altar will skyrocket, leaving us behind? These are all ruthless thugs. If we run into them later, won't we get killed for points?"

The bald, burly man fell silent upon hearing this.

Sister Hongyan's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Liao Erlong: "Erlong, you're always full of clever ideas, why don't you analyze this?"

Liao Erlong was cracking sunflower seeds with a handful of seeds he had somehow gotten his hands on when he heard Sister Hongyan call him. He then patted the sunflower seed shells off his clothes.

"In my opinion, you should register, but you need to be absolutely certain of success!"

"Nonsense!" Third Brother glared at him. "What are you talking about now? It's just that you're not confident!"

Liao Erlong chuckled: "There definitely aren't any now... Sister Hongyan is right, the seventy-odd people who have signed up now... oh, eighty."

"These eighty people are either simple-minded idiots or they have survival skills and are confident that even if they can't beat the Reincarnator Killer, they can still protect themselves on the island and survive until the mission ends. Their combat power is basically unreliable."

"Once the number of spots exceeds ninety, the registration process will definitely slow down. The remaining people are basically just observing, worried that they will be trapped as soon as they register, and in the end, only a little over one hundred people will take on this task."

"But as registration slows down, I estimate that in the end, it won't be a problem for the number of applicants to exceed one hundred, but it definitely won't be too many; one hundred and fifty is unlikely!"

"Unless there's some extraordinary progress!"

"Special developments?" Sister Hongyan looked at him.

Liao Erlong smiled and asked, "Sister, how many wanted criminals are there for the sacrificial offerings right now?"

Hongyan glanced at it: "Five hundred and eighty-eight."

"What about the heroes?" Liao Erlong laughed. "Let's say ten heroes from the last thirty-six matches, or those with bounties. That's about six hundred people in total. If three or four hundred people have already signed up, would you dare to sign up?"

"Three or four hundred?" Hongyan raised an eyebrow. "Then what are you hesitating for? A hundred people are risky, but can't we catch him with three or four hundred?"

"So that's why!" Liao Erlong smiled, "The other altars think the same way. As long as they can get as many people as possible to sign up, the more people there are, the faster the registration process will be, which is more beneficial for those who sign up!"

"You mean..." Sister Hongyan stroked her chin, "that we should get more people to sign up?"

Liao Erlong smiled and nodded.

"You're kidding me!" Third Brother scoffed. "Bounty hunters are all living on the edge. Where are you going to find one in just four or five days? Do you even think you can?"

"I definitely won't find him..." Liao Erlong shrugged. "But don't forget, there's a pretty famous organization that specializes in taking on bounty hunters."

Sister Hongyan's eyes lit up: "You mean... the blood gloves?"

Liao Erlong nodded.

"Can you contact Blood Gloves?"

"I can't, but maybe Awei can." Liao Erlong laughed, "Sister Hongyan, do you remember the 496 altar we encountered during the last mission? There was a particularly vicious woman there, with a bounty of over 800 points! You even said that if it weren't a cooperative mission, this woman would be a big threat to us, so you had Awei secretly mark her."

"Is she one of the Blood Gloves?"

"Very likely." Liao Erlong shrugged. "Otherwise, why wouldn't Awei come to the meeting? I suspect he contacted that woman through the marker!"

As if confirming Liao Erlong's guess, a message arrived on Hongyan's phone. When she opened it, she saw that it was from Awei, and the message contained only one sentence.

"I can't answer the phone right now, wait for my message..."

"Wait for his news?" Sister Hongyan frowned.

"Besides waiting, there's nothing we can do..." Liao Erlong shrugged. "Even if we contact the Blood Gloves, we can't influence the decisions of such a large organization. We can only wait!"

"Once Blood Gloves decides to join, the number of applicants will definitely explode. At that time, the wanted criminals participating in the mission will not only be numerous, but also of high quality! We can sign up with confidence!"
