Wolf: "Can I end them now?"
Panther: "Sure… Huh?"
A strange noise not far away caught Panther's attention, as well as the other two.
Lion: "Hey, what's that noise? Don't tell me, Panther… did you allow yourself to be tracked?"
Panther: "No, there was no one that could've pursued me. Perhaps a wild animal?"
Wolf: "This is not the sound a beast would make. It's…"
The camera panned to the side; though only a corner was visible, the flashing light clearly revealed the logo on it.
LIMBUS
Wolf: "A bus...?"
===[Line Break]===
Han Dynasty
"What kind of behemoth is that? Just from this part alone, one can tell it's abnormally huge," Emperor Wu of Han asked in surprise while looking at the bus on the Sky Screen.
"And what do those runes on it mean? They don't look like the script of our Great Han."
===[Line Break]===
Qing Dynasty
"Is that foreign script? Why would an immortal use the writing of foreigners?" Emperor Qianlong was deeply perplexed.
===[Sky Screen]===
Panther: "How did it even end up here?"
Lion: "Must've taken a wrong turn?"
Lion: "Hoo, the price they'll pay for taking the wrong road will be heavier than they expect…"
Lion went in front of the moving bus.
Lion: "...!"
Wolf: "…It bested Lion's strength?"
Panther: "...!"
Lion intended to use brute force to stop the bus, but was instead sent flying by the impact, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Three Kingdoms
"This behemoth called a 'bus' is truly fierce," Liu Bei said in amazement.
"If we could obtain hundreds of those buses from the Sky Screen, why would we fear Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? Restoring the House of Han would be just around the corner."

Qin Dynasty
"If we could get that behemoth called a 'bus' from the Sky Screen, crushing the Xiongnu on the grasslands would be child's play," Meng Yi said excitedly.

Panther was also shocked by this scene. Then, a woman's voice was heard.
???: "..."
???: "If my eyes are still right, then you will reach the harbor of glory."
A woman with white hair and blue eyes appeared.
Me: "
Faust: "You've lost your way in a dark forest."
Me: "
Faust: "Yet you were not overcome with fear. Why was that?"
Me:
Me: ""
Faust: "That's right. Now, repeat with the heart what I tell you aloud as you remind yourself of that image."
Faust: "Follow your star."

Among the Common People
"Why is the fairy's hair white? And her eyes aren't black, they're blue."
"I've never heard of any immortal who looks like this."
"There's never been an immortal with the surname Fu¹ before, has there?"
===[Line Break]===
Cao Wei (Three Kingdoms Period)
"That immortal named Faust is quite pitiful; her hair has turned white at such a young age," Cao Pi lamented while looking at Faust.
"True, but there's another thing—look at her bre—no, I mean, that sword in her hand is truly massive! I wonder if she is married?" Cao Cao praised from the side.
Cao Pi: I understand, Father.
Cao Pi: I know what Father is talking about, but it's undeniable—it really is huge. (Referring to the sword in her hand)

Faust began to speak.
Follow your star.
Me: "Follow... your star."
At that moment…
I felt a sudden thump in my head.
Followed by the sting of several chains penetrating my chest.
The background of the scene took on a dreamlike quality, where twelve phantoms appeared, each shooting a chain from its chest straight toward Me's head.
Me: "
Faust: "Relax. Though it may feel otherwise, your heart is still functional."
Faust: "With this, the pact has been sealed."
Faust: "Dante, from this day forth, we are bound to your time."

Tang Dynasty
Li Bai: "So his name is Dante. I've never heard of such a being before."
Li Bai racked his brain, recalling every myth and legend he had heard since childhood, yet he had never heard of immortals named Dante or Faust.
Li Bai drained his cup of wine, then took up his brush and paper to compose a poem for the two figures on the Sky Screen.
Consequently, two thousand years later, there was one more Tang poem added to the list of mandatory memorization.

T/N:
¹: Faust name in Chinese is 浮士德 (Fúshìdé), you should understand why that person said that
Man I hate how Panther's name is somehow changed to Leopard in the mtl
