After leaving a Nest, Hunters always fall into a long, deep sleep, losing all track of time.
Jin Xueli thought she was long used to it. This time, however, when she finally opened her eyes from her long slumber and groggily tapped her phone screen, she vaguely realized just how long she had been asleep.
'My phone even died?'
She dragged her empty shell of a body, her steps unsteady, and mindlessly went through the motions of her post-Nest routine: she called room service, then ate, ate, and ate some more, yelping four or five times from biting her tongue in her haste. She showered, brushed her teeth, changed clothes, and combed her hair—by this point, the woman in the mirror finally looked human again, ready to go out.
Jin Xueli tapped her charging phone. The screen lit up, telling her it was 11:32 AM on December 3rd.
"What's the date?" Jin Xueli cried out involuntarily, even suspecting her phone's time zone was wrong. 'Did it reset to UTC+8 when it restarted?'
'December 3rd?'
