*Sigh*. I should've known. A malignant omen bodes ill... What should I do now...?
Malignant omen?
Okay. Can we start speaking in normal words now?
Okay. So what exactly is going on?
And you said yes without thinking?
Don't panic. Let me check the location.
E-ENDMIN..?! Wait. This must be the noble helper who'd turn things around... Can this be the will of the heavens? Fate smiles upon me!
I thought the Tianshi are not superstitious.
Hah! My most sincere apologies! I just didn't expect to meet you here... Your presence will make things a lot easier.
Heheh. I actually dabble in the knowledge of the supernatural... I have a senior who works on Tianshi Pillars. He would plaster special Fulu runes on the auxiliary units every time before he starts a test.
Wait. Does that mean the rune of success I brought actually worked? I did meet you at a critical juncture... That must be it!
It's a long story. I am Luo An and I'm trying to do some field survey, but before I left, a few senior Tianshi asked me to help them out with something —
They want a research paper written ten years ago. It contains a valuable set of early data ... one that's really crucial for the study of the Very Large Rift.
Ahem. I was actually hesitant at first. But when I stepped out of the office, I received an unexpected sign of six fowlbeasts. Six is the number of guaranteed success. I was compelled to accept the task...
I endured every difficulty and used up every detector before I finally picked up a lead — only to realize that the data backup is within the ruins on the other side.
The Blight has totaled every facility at that place. I can't even make it across the first section...
O-Of course, Endmin! I'm syncing you the coordinates of the documents' location right now!
Ugh. That big fat promotion — I mean, my respectable seniors would never get their proper closures...
