Oh dear, I'm so screwed... I can't find the old dude here either! Where did he go?
Don't worry. I'm actually inclined to help.
Oh, Mr. Mo ... I need to find you fast.
Hello there, young man. You look troubled. What happened?
Oh? Who are you?
You must be the guests of Tianshi Zhuang! I heard all about you! The defenders of Wuling City!
Everyone in the city fought hard to protect their homes. What's going on?
Er... where should I start? Well, I really need your help to find my mentor.
Your mentor? You're...
My name's Yin Dong and I started my studies at Wuling last year. My mentor, Tianshi Mo, is a lecturer at the Tianshi Bureau Academy. But he's been ... institutionalized for six months now.
When the Blight Tide came, I went looking for him to get him to shelter. He's got bad legs, you see. But...
Physician Cui of the Medical Clinic told me he had run off! I searched the entire city! Nothing!
Physician Cui thinks that the ... old dolt is just throwing a tantrum. He did plenty of that, but always returned after a couple of days.
But ... it's really different this time. People told me he charged straight for the Blight Tide!
Is he crazy?! We're talking about a Blight Tide!
Well, Mr. Mo has always been ... rather interesting. People told me that the Medical Clinic was being extra forgiving because he worked really hard for decades...
But I don't care what they say about Mr. Mo! I'm clumsy too but he took the time and taught me how things work... I'm just worried he really went off into the Blight Tide...
Take a deep breath, young man. Have you found any other clues?
Back then, I was...
Endmin...
Remember the Blight Tide...? We all saw it. Heading outside the city feels like a death wish...
But respecting one's mentor is a really big thing in Hongshan. I don't know ... the lad looks really desperate.
Really? That's awesome!
So the last witness saw him running off to the Maintenance Zone outside the city? The area may be dangerous. We'll handle it.
Alright, young man. Stay in the city and keep searching. We'll look outside the city for you.
You're really helping? I don't know how to thank you all!
But ... Blight Tides and Aggeloi are really dangerous. If...
I'm not asking much. But I'm his only disciple. It's the very least I could do for him ... and myself.
And we will do everything we can.
