Speculations

For natives, anyone unfamiliar to a certain location or always committing common mistakes would be thought of as an idiot.

Some slightly vigilant ones would think it might be a trap of some sorts but as a player, Kieran viewed it from a different perspective.

When he heard Holler's answer, he automatically pondered the identity of this "Modi".

A player!

Based on how Holler described him, there was a high chance that "Modi" was a player.

Unlike how Kieran entered the dungeon world the official way and acquired simple memories and an identity, the others didn't have all these. That was the reason why they were unfamiliar with the area around Supreme Road and always made common mistakes.

But…

"Maybe it is Broker putting up an act?" Kieran muttered.

Kieran could never be too safe against Broker because before the very last moment, no one knew how much Broker was hiding under his sleeves.

This time was no exception either.
