Li Jun brings the Beijing survivors to Cuba, explains Lucia's violent aid, and privately warns Carl about her threat against Donut and Mongo.
Li Jun arrives carrying two new player-killer skulls. He recounts the Battle of Beijing, including Lucia's refusal to play the card system, her destruction of Fang's team, and her unexplained gift of five fast-travel modules.
He says Lucia helped because Florin asked her to, but her friendliness ended before she descended. In a private message, he tells Carl that Lucia has saved something special for the next floor and intends to kill Donut and Mongo.
Li Jun keeps the threat out of public conversation so Donut can enjoy the reunion.
