Did you really go to that place?
As Cass shared further, Fu Qian felt his previous description of "searching for a needle in the sea" was inexplicably apt.
anwhile, such a bloody case suddenly seed much more reasonable.
Legend has it that one of the most dangerous regions in this world, the accident in the Sea of Ashes, has added another incident.
The only sowhat unfortunate part is that the area is quite large, and then you have to find a certain corpse within it?
Thinking about the possible workload, Fu Qian deeply felt he should have tried to interrogate Kaldora at the ti.
Considering not only is the scope exaggerated, but Fu Qian, who has already experienced traversing through, can be said to have a deep understanding of the Sea of Ashes’ unpredictability.
Those creatures and islands seemingly cast from bone ashes could change from life to death in a mont, completely altering their appearances.
In such an environnt, trying to find sothing is truly difficult.
As for why he didn’t ask for such important information at the ti?
It’s simple, Professor Kaldora’s sense of principle was indeed sowhat strong, and he still appeared vigilant.
Although it was just a projection, and after so interactions, Fu Qian had gained so trust, revealing anomalies like Crystal Blessing was already the limit.
To know more, higher trust is needed, otherwise, even Fu Qian’s "stories" might be doubted.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t more ti then.
"Now, combining what you said, the Wise Dead should refer to mbers of an institution similar to the Academy? Although it doesn’t sound like a good outco."
Fu Qian was summarizing objective difficulties here, and Cass didn’t waste ti analyzing further.
"And their choice of location is strange, building a research institution in that kind of place?"
Fu Qian added.
"Surely the institution wasn’t there before the Sea of Ashes beca like this?"
...
It’s unreasonable.
Establishing scientific sites in extre environnts to conduct special tests and observations is not an unusual behavior.
However, moving an entire institution directly is another matter, as an unintended consequence could lead to a taphorical destruction of learning and scholars.
By comparison, the Academy’s approach seems normal, only sending elite teams for temporary exploration, even ensuring confidentiality work was done.
Unless the place is as ancient as I just ntioned.
"How could it be? According to current consensus, the Sea of Ashes, like other Forbidden Areas, is at least a product of the Long Night."
"Considering the earlier tis when belief held an absolute proportion in the Supernatural System, such institutions appearing were practically impossible, even if they appeared briefly, the probability of persistence and developnt was even smaller."
Unfortunately, the probability seems small, Cass shook his head confidently.
Indeed, progress in understanding is always filled with resistance.
Now Heaven’s Comncent Institute is researching those Bone Spirits, and the Divine Ashes Institute is reacting strongly.
Treating the Transcendent as scientific research, if placed in that era of worship, it would undoubtedly be considered blasphemy, having even a hint of it would have gotten you burned.
"So we don’t know why they would be there?"
Agreeing with Cass’s analysis, Fu Qian casually confird if there was more information.
"I don’t know, not even whether it’s disappeared now, there’s absolutely no trace to be found."
Cass’s response remained definite.
"Have you been there?"
"I’ve been there."
...
As expected from the leader of Heaven’s Comncent, such an unrestrained spirit chasing true knowledge shines brightly.
Surprised to hear Cass had directly been to the Sea of Ashes, Fu Qian imdiately adjusted the difficulty index for the search upwards.
With so many scientific expeditions conducted, apart from the managent by the Virtue and Compassion Assembly, trendous effort was likely spent on that incident, yet it still seed impossible to find even a shred of evidence.
"I believe when Old President Li reminded about confidentiality, he probably also reminded not to act recklessly?"
Of course, this doesn’t hinder anything, Fu Qian praised this daring operation.
"Yes, which is why I’m not even keeping it secret now."
Cass’s tone was naturally confident.
"But even if I were the one searching, if caught or even noticed by the Night Watchman, you might still be in trouble."
Fu Qian offered a reminder.
The previous idea could be said to have been confird now.
The preservation room plan is certainly a good idea for both the Academy and the institute, but for Cass, it seems to an more of an invitation.
Even seeing this invitation itself is a clever selection process.
Only those who appreciate failed attempts and have attention to past incidents can perceive so deeper aning from such an activity and co forth.
Having found nothing after much searching, Cass hopes to introduce more exploratory forces.
Even though the process is so tactful, it doesn’t an his actions, if discovered, could escape consequences.
First of all, that probability isn’t small, in Fu Qian’s view, a big reason Cass hasn’t been warned for years of reckless behavior might just be because he hasn’t found anything.
Given previous deductions, there’s a high probability the Night Watchman knows about this, and Li He’s attitude likely represents their intentions, they might not be beyond taking surveillance asures.
Should a confrontation arise, even if Fu Qian hides his identity, Cass’s preservation room plan might appear particularly striking to those with agendas.
In this context, he ought to consider a different probing approach, more low-profile would be better.
"I understand, which is why I’m doing it this way."
However, under Fu Qian’s reminder, he simply chuckled.
"If trouble arises, it will be easier for them to believe it’s my intention."
...
President Gao Yi.
At that mont, Fu Qian couldn’t help but sigh.
Cass’s statent was clear enough, he never intended to clear his association by this thod. On the contrary, precisely by being ostentatious, he brings possible responsibility onto himself.
A long ti ago, he had shown curiosity about the past incident, and while he has made little progress in his constant search, he wouldn’t mind introducing fresh blood.
At the sa ti, Cass evidently believes he bears responsibility for this matter, choosing to set up a target in advance.
If trouble arises later, the pressure he bears will be minimized.
"Then I won’t hold back, can you share your past exploration routes?"
Even though it doesn’t hold as much significance, Fu Qian straightforwardly accepted the president’s kindness, and even went a step further, requesting so detailed information.
"Hehe... my thods might not suit you, especially right now with no proof of any effect... but I can still draw you a map."
Indeed, Cass did not mind at all, even pleased that Fu Qian was quickly getting into the mode.
"That would be the best."
Fu Qian wasn’t modest, while a map truly erged in his mind, showing a sky full of stars.
In the Sea of Ashes, a coordinate he had never managed to reach, wondering if it relates to the Inverted Lake.
