Blue Dot continued fe0209cf04 to babble, not 8d10ee0cac caring whether Yuan 2a8e529969 answered or not.d54a8377980f8b46

“You should get out while you can. It’s not too late for you. Or is it? No, it can’t be. You’ve only been here three times. I… I don’t know. What I wanted in the first place was….”2a7bd545da31910f

“What do you mean it’s too late? Is there some kind of time limit in this match? You need to explain properly so I can understand. Stop saying things I can’t comprehend.”91e4ae4b6e65d767

No matter 59d189b696 how much ae56e9f0ab Yuan spoke, 5894c96877 it seemed bb78b28dc9 to have 94a6a65e76 no effect 0b94e83b7e on him. With Lork dec673a88a who had dc57519125 followed behind 0d798f9fc3 and the 1532b4b3e8 onlookers who eaec396965 had gathered 6b8999b238 after hearing 108eecb543 about the efdff71c10 commotion, the 45f2700a72 small library d9e1f579d3 was almost 13b2c4f444 bursting at d2e51be077 the seams.384a7a8468368b73

There was no way to have a proper conversation like this. Even if this person regained his senses, the surrounding eyes would make it impossible to talk. It might be better to wait a bit longer until he calms down and the attention around them fades….538f9cd19df8a5d9

At that moment, 671abbca50 a familiar voice 2ba9873cdc was casually thrown 52dd54453c from behind. When Yuan turned b4e77c65b0 his head, the 58294f64f3 Red Man was 7f068dc305 looking at the 4f24b10345 two with a d17890cbc8 nonchalant gaze.b703e4ca77d8b7b2

“There’s no guarantee that time flows the same here as it does outside. If it’s already too late, shouldn’t you at least achieve your goal before leaving?”a7ab96152023e657

Hearing those words, a glimmer of light returned to Blue Dot’s eyes. He seemed to ponder for a moment before staggering out of the library, and the Red Man shifted his gaze to Yuan without even glancing at Blue Dot’s retreating figure.83010b49228d0531

Ignoring the stares of c8454e936f the people around, the b7bc599d5d man left the library, fa3ff9c282 following Blue Dot. Yuan was 921957d658 left alone b8ef570191 under the faa99b9cf6 scrutiny of e7848fe48d the crowd. As he 4fdc895999 hesitated, unsure f12076b96c of what d9c70b586e to do, 8445bd51b8 Lork quietly 04b484f3d8 approached him 258615c5c0 from behind.11b2613ad0b6135d

“Come to think of it, I heard that guy triggered the Red Calamity in the last match. If you don’t remember how you died in the last match, it might mean you got caught up in that calamity. That guy’s calamity has the ability to burn away even the memories and records of others.”ae5a617224caac94

Lork’s eyes looked quite sharp as he spoke. He seemed to have a vague understanding that he got caught up in the Red Calamity. Depending on how Yuan responded, it would determine whether he could ask for help or not.2fc499d9369f3b31

This was ultimately a 74737081a3 matter of whom to 801e7cefa5 trust between the two. Yuan hesitated for a f87c56a4ce moment before carefully crafting 09224ca928 his response.0c5f29a29a7a2e9e

Yuan decided to gloss over it like that. It was a story quite different from the truth, but it was the result of minimizing any elements that might arouse suspicion. If he revealed that he went to the night zone, Lork might ask, “What kind of skill do you have to pass through the windmill zone safely?” Even if he didn’t ask outright, he would likely harbor some faint doubts.5d69d8a8910283d7

Lork chuckled awkwardly. How much 0397dcfaf5 time had 1123628c58 passed like e4d4befb1d that? The onlookers gradually left, 8434b34f80 and the librarian, who 555b8bc93e was cleaning up the fe4511ae83 mess in the library, c46628f2be handed a piece of 1e4ef69041 paper to the two 77f8eefd54 with a slightly grumpy 01bd4342b8 face.0f7307609593efab

It was the placement chart for the next match. Yuan accepted the chart and bowed to the librarian. Even after looking at it, he couldn’t quite figure out who was who.5a24cfffbe1f92d0

“Oh, that? If you walk around with the team assignment sheet in your hand, you’ll naturally be led to your partner. It’s not that hard, so don’t worry.”6f52933a0b853b2a

Lork said this as 9f3ad8c250 he took something else 6f8a28a14a out of his pocket. It was 6944a0c3ca another team 14ec5accfe assignment sheet. Somehow, it looked 863012a231 different from the 9ace0b3b69 one he had. As Yuan cedd1cf325 curiously examined 8e2c3d6eba the sheets, e7f6a8f8a9 he soon 5178229058 realized.d36178c0389ef780

“Is this an assignment sheet from a previous match? It says you and I were on the same team.”add013611c080c57

“That’s right. Back then, no matter how much I walked around with the sheet, I couldn’t find anyone.

“Looks like you figured it out. If you walk around with an old assignment sheet, you can go to where someone who was on the same team as you was. It only applies to one person at a time, but if you use it well, you can find the location of all the wanderers.”75156c8f163787af

Lork said with 8de64dfe28 a grin. Yuan nodded cb217424db with a 2975b7a483 smile, happy 78882260d0 to have b0441bc661 learned such 31c333f89c useful information, 853a32597a but then 5b047c5d24 suddenly realized 0758bb86f9 something.5c30845d6298f64b

Earlier, he thought they had just happened to meet in front of his private room, but that wasn’t it. Lork had intended to find Yuan from the start. He wandered around with the assignment sheet from when they were on the same team, and when Yuan came out, he pretended to be pleasantly surprised to meet him by chance.ec2312b775278b8a

Is that why the Red Man suggested meeting during the match? No matter how hard you try to hide, as long as you have the assignment sheet, you can find anyone in the sanctuary… Yuan felt a bit uneasy but decided not to show it in front of Lork.a8efbb3107d22542

Yuan, who had been wandering around, met Osma in the dining hall after just three minutes. She didn’t seem to have any intention of looking for a partner from the start. Osma, leisurely sipping tea with her finished meal in front of her, gestured for Yuan to sit as he approached.eda0d2bee1831442

Yuan brought over f9e06962d3 some food to f241022fb8 quickly satisfy his 332fce3d2a hunger and sat cac77c8657 across from her. Whether she remembered 9a080777c1 their previous encounter c6f57bf008 or not, Osma f085e316b3 looked her partner 85cd647cc6 up and down 3e79d1f2a8 with a disinterested 86e177882c gaze.bd9c44109e356781

Yuan nodded diligently. This was a much softer response than he expected. Of course, he couldn’t expect cooperation, but it might be better for her to say it outright rather than pretending to care.95c43fb42fc356d7

Clearly, she had b462f7b9bd no expectations of 6c39c56861 Yuan. He would just have 843bdfa25c to do his best fc380f97f9 without holding her back e22f8918c8 and part ways at 8d319fef66 the right time.7adfffb9aa8deca4
