According to the original plot, the "pollution" would only happen at midnight, when everyone in the 1911 Hotel would turn eerie.
The Scavengers came for the materials precisely because they planned to take action after midnight when ordinary people mutated into the eerie and produced curse materials.
But Su Lun couldn't wait until then.
If the Magician were really about to mutate, Su Lun felt even less confident about killing him.
Moreover, now that the four "forbidden rooms" on the first floor had been opened, he felt that tonight's pollution event might involve other changes.
To solve the problem, it was better to act sooner rather than later.
...
Su Lun walked towards the stage and then entered backstage through the side door via the staff passage.
He planned to stop the Magician when he left the stage.
Because from the intelligence he heard, after the Magician stepped off the stage, no one ever saw him again.
