The following day, a special invitation arrived for Silvanus, delivered via express courier from Happy TV Network.
"Please sign here."
Nine's voice rang clearly in Silvanus's ears once again. Throughout the previous dungeon, he had been so silent that it was as if he had died.
Silvanus glanced around. The darkness was still as dense as ever, refusing to fade in the slightest. Before him, Matt had returned to the form of a tiny black swan, almost blending perfectly into the surrounding shadows. Deliberately, it kept rolling onto its back and exposing its belly toward Silvanus.
As Silvanus absentmindedly rubbed Matt's soft belly, he remarked, "Long time no see. I thought you'd gone off to serve someone else."
Nine remained as quiet as ever, faithfully adhering to his principle of conserving energy.
After a long pause, just as Silvanus assumed he had no intention of speaking again, Nine finally repeated,
"Please sign here."
