Damn, add the damn "point" already... Lin Yi muttered, continuing his ntal storm.
"Could it be related to that ’event’ you ntioned?"
"The event of us going to the Mage’s bedroom, is it sothing we must make happen this ti? If we don’t, will the tiline veer into a less favorable direction?"
"In other words, though we’re taking risks this ti, from a broader and even future perspective, are we still ’on the most correct path’?"
Just like the navigation says, although there’s a bit of traffic now, it’s still the shortest route ti-wise.
"If we don’t do this now, might we encounter more dangerous crises on other routes in the future?"
It’s like at the start, if he didn’t quickly make those seemingly stupid actions to increase "adaptation" speed, he might not be able to keep up with the pace of such actions by now?
Though so Sports Students back then thought his actions were foolish, their cognition was actually quite limited. They couldn’t even grasp the tip of the iceberg of his plan this ti, and, in fact, everything was on the most correct path.
"That’s the only way to explain it." Kuai Hongji seriously nodded, "So when we head to the Mage’s place, let’s all be on our toes, be cautious, and run at the first sign of trouble."
"When it cos to running, I’ve got plenty of experience," Lin Yi said earnestly.
"Don’t show off your diocre skills, be vigilant. When real running is required, rely on Maozi and ."
"Uh..." Lin Yi was at a loss for words. "Alright, but speaking of which... it seems like you’re not familiar with this kind of thing either?"
Kuai Hongji replied, "Because this is the first ti we’ve chosen this path."
"What do you an?"
Mao Feiyang added, "Like that kind of threading the needle through pictures we ntioned before, the picture of ’liberating the Mage’ requires a lot of ti from planning to execution, so we’ve almost never included this step in our plans."
"’Gone through’? This isn’t our first ti here?"
"Yes, and no," Kuai Hongji said. "If we succeed, it’s our first ti here. If not, maybe there will be another first ti, or... maybe not."
"’Ti is a curse’?" Lin Yi tentatively asked, actually having many fleeting inspirations by now, though they were still vague. It might be the truth he was about to discover, or perhaps his lost mories were becoming clear again.
"Glad you understand," Kuai Hongji said. Suddenly, feeling sothing, he continued, "This layer seems different. I suspect the creator is not just any person, perhaps an old acquaintance."
Mao Feiyang was slightly startled: "Who are you suggesting?"
"Seems like so of Amon’s handiwork," Kuai Hongji said. "But I still need so key elents to determine whether this setup was Amon’s backdoor for us."
"Chengdu? Backdoor?" Mao Feiyang instinctively touched his buttocks.
"’Extent’, and a system-type backdoor, a loophole," Kuai Hongji sneered with a disdainful look, "I suggest you behave normally."
"Tch... I was just criticizing like Old Lin," said Mao Feiyang.
"I wasn’t, I didn’t," Lin Yi quickly tried to prove his innocence. "I’m perfectly normal, not taking the bla for this."
"I’m just having a bit of fun, not a clue about anything like that little Chengdu girl," he added.
"Oh, you seem to know a lot!" Kuai Hongji wickedly smiled, continuing to observe the surrounding tombstones.
"The arrangent of these tombstones resembles a star map, but as for the ’Original Apostles’, they naturally carry so Transcendent traits in every action, able to set it up like this. Even if it wasn’t done by Amon, it could still be achieved..."
"If it isn’t working out we should get out of here quickly, because the ti here is also... ti." Mao Feiyang reminded them.
Just as they were discussing, familiar yet long-lost chanting began sporadically echoing from the thin Mist outside the cetery.
["I AvgruNnen av tåKe og mørke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTo" (In the mist and darkness of the abyss, lost souls chase phantoms)!]
This was unmistakably the song Lin Yi first heard, and it was sung by both the Graveyard of the Deceased and the "High-level Alien Angel".
As the chant beca clearer, the silhouette of the Old Cowboy dragging a shovel slowly erged.
In the mist around the cetery, more and more "Mist Chasing Light Seeker" figures began to appear, surrounding them like a vast crowd.
["I AvgruNnen av tåKe og mørke jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTo" (In the mist and darkness of the abyss, lost souls chase phantoms)!]
"I AvgruNnen...!"
Not only was the Old Cowboy there, but the indistinct "Mist Chasing Light Seeker" figures in the Mist were also surrounding them.
These things carried a kind of "rule". If trapped by them, anyone would encounter so danger.
Overall, it’s hard to say.
"They’re coming! Mao Feiyang urged, "We should leave! Don’t create extra trouble!"
Yet Kuai Hongji’s eyes lit up: "Ca at the right ti!"
"Huh?" Mao Feiyang turned his head.
"This is the crucial setup I’ve been searching for!" Kuai Hongji displayed a slightly eerie smile.
"You an this song?" Mao Feiyang’s mouth dropped open.
Kuai Hongji glanced at him, "What else? ’There are three types of kings: those who die, those whose souls are wounded, and those whose way is lost.’ Amon gathers the lost Souls in the layers using the tombstone matrix, forming them into ’Mist Chasing Light Seeker’ to stop others from getting closer, while also preventing deeper existences from escaping..."
"You an... a double-edged Seal!" Mao Feiyang exclaid, "I think I’m beginning to understand!"
"What use is that understanding now?" Kuai Hongji replied, "If you realized this days earlier, we could’ve saved more ti!"
Lin Yi was speechless from the sweat, even as Mao Feiyang understood, he was still confused...
"What does it an?" Lin Yi asked puzzled, "Aren’t we supposed to release the Mage? Why strengthen the Seal and prevent her from coming out from the depths?"
Kuai Hongji said, "Because it’s not just her in the depths! You were exiled to Lingnan, but is Lingnan only you?"
"Alright, any further questions can wait. Let gather this clue from Amon first, after confirming it, handling it will be much easier. We just need to find sothing like an Array Hub."
"Array Hub?!" Mao Feiyang shivered suddenly, "I get it! Follow !"
He said this and accelerated towards a particular tombstone, and Kuai Hongji quickly followed.
Lin Yi soon discovered that Mao Feiyang was leading Kuai Hongji towards a tombstone inscribed with crooked ancient symbols, which looked like the English word "PUDDING".
"PUDDING? That tombstone again?" Lin Yi puzzled, "What’s the secret behind this tombstone?"
Last ti he asked Mao Feiyang about it, Mao Feiyang said he wasn’t ready to know, saying he would cry if he did.
He wondered if he could find out now.
But, no one answered him.
Kuai Hongji gently touched the tombstone, his usually fear-inducing face now showed rare tenderness: "Alright, alright, Maozi, you’ve provided so help after all..."
"’Pudding’... Is this Amon’s first impression of the Mage? Haha..."
"’Pudding’? Maozi, you said it wasn’t before?" Lin Yi glared at Mao Feiyang.
