Chapter 59: Flame Giant Surtr

At dusk, inside a McDonald's in the Old Jingmai District.

Ke Mingqing had released the Theater Puppet this morning, and the puppet had spent the entire day playing Aeroplane Chess with Bai Ziling right here. The two figures, one tall and one short, spread the game board across the table. They took turns tossing the dice and moving their pieces according to the numbers rolled.

Bai Ziling suddenly picked up her notebook, SCRATCHING away with her pencil before turning the page to face him.

"You're not paying attention," the notebook read. Whenever she saw this dull-looking young man move to the wrong space, she would help him place his piece on the correct spot.

But after playing for a whole day, he had made countless mistakes. It was as if he threw the dice one second and forgot the number rolled the next, giving Bai Ziling quite a headache.
