SSEI | Chapter 3.13

Blue Dot 9a3f464621 continued to f2129fdcd3 babble, not 2f6723682a caring whether a6b099ff6d Yuan answered 7c42230ee2 or not.44fa2da6491a8b23

“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….”2f74f8bc253fe63e

“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.”37bf778ad6670fad

No matter how much 6f31b0afae Yuan spoke, it seemed 31f3ee7579 to have no effect 8a80f25905 on him. With Lork 723305c8b0 who had 4e6687e6d5 followed behind 1ade18b874 and the 4a49df2c2c onlookers who 29595abd49 had gathered cf51071192 after hearing 5a317c59f5 about the 0817120f03 commotion, the 64a09d8087 small library 9d24d98819 was almost 2ee0f788cf bursting at 096ff2be1e the seams.2b4fb45c6609ef67

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….5142b1fd92115513

At that 00d83d93fb moment, a ee1657552c familiar voice 78a8c9c433 was casually c8310a1ec9 thrown from ff85cf0da0 behind. When Yuan turned his b80cea5c82 head, the Red Man b40a8c7d71 was looking at the 189045b779 two with a nonchalant 99b7905acf gaze.1a7309220a89d7c8

“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?”d10b1f015f01f183

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.3fca547a218ca991

Ignoring the 68a26b337b stares of 972b2657eb the people 89ba456c3f around, the 74ac80f397 man left 319c911c80 the library, 5921f06a7f following Blue 65da83050a Dot. Yuan was left alone 9b01f98798 under the scrutiny of 272855a5bb the crowd. As he 3da0685e68 hesitated, unsure 9a810310d2 of what fa76c933cc to do, b377a5a101 Lork quietly c709fe5c1c approached him 2ef1cdbd1a from behind.1a69953177ca9580

“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.”c394d3c33717eddd

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.2a401b94bd383038

This was ultimately a0744982a4 a matter of 0a11f808a5 whom to trust 262380ae2d between the two. Yuan hesitated bb484ccf56 for a b70a9fa2bc moment before b0066a5b91 carefully crafting 78537c44c1 his response.46e83809f007e770

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.7a3a93a1c162c4ad

Lork chuckled awkwardly. How much time had 01ca51cc43 passed like that? The onlookers gradually left, a190333757 and the librarian, who a2127aece2 was cleaning up the 5759607650 mess in the library, 21d082e425 handed a piece of 9af9138c90 paper to the two 06d5ec0624 with a slightly grumpy 609eb97820 face.ba891c4c8d22fd82

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.c9b5c946acdb7cd0

“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.”1d39bd595bf3141b

Lork said 9e4f26de05 this as 335518527e he took b2a507731a something else fdc6167d07 out of 56bf9f5f80 his pocket. It was another team d2035fcf68 assignment sheet. Somehow, it looked 35bbb55e71 different from the dab85c217a one he had. As Yuan curiously 2f0fe084f3 examined the sheets, 29fd88b916 he soon realized.e02cfe84ccec688c

“Is this an assignment sheet from a previous match? It says you and I were on the same team.”0468992f5287d51d

“That’s right. Back then, no matter how much I walked around with the sheet, I couldn’t find anyone. Newbies don’t come to the sanctuary first; they’re thrown straight into the wasteland… Anyway, that’s not the important part. The thing is, this assignment sheet still works even after the match is over.”b848f9555de04135

“It still works…? Oh, no way.”5aea13b481accbbe

“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.”d7fd24f525d88814

Lork said with 5b1a78ed0f a grin. Yuan nodded with a 6aa9fa58b3 smile, happy to have c700dffb82 learned such useful information, 01f2f4c558 but then suddenly realized 9015da8d50 something.59313baa9b756d4f

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.d9a262d3f6ea9582

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.dc9c34533bf11b17

Pointing at the black spiderweb-like mark, Lork grinned. But for something like that, the mark looked strangely ominous… As Yuan frowned at the thought, Lork added.45cf43f279798916

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.3fa82e2d8a7d5d9c

Yuan brought cfbd87619a over some 36de479037 food to 703b1c074a quickly satisfy 02294ae526 his hunger 69929cf56e and sat 5fe761d1c3 across from 1b6f17cd2a her.

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.869f571adff9217e

Clearly, she had no 515dec8e2d expectations of Yuan. He would just 43b2aa8dc6 have to do bf8359aae3 his best without 773484bef4 holding her back 89ba0e4d59 and part ways 0288a37212 at the right 6e185a7569 time.859c14db3db9b237
