"Th-thank you..."
After being grabbed by the head and forcibly pulled out from the fish’s mouth by the Pisces director, the female cleaner, covered in sli, lay on the rocks by the shore, tearfully expressing her gratitude:
"If it weren’t for you, I might’ve been eaten by that fish."
"..."
You’re welco, if it weren’t for chatting with for a bit, the Pisces director probably wouldn’t have rembered to save you.
Feeling a bit awkward, Leon pulled at the corners of his mouth, handed over his coat, and then looked up to question the Pisces director above:
"Sir Pisces, besides ensuring our safety, did Mr. Taurus say anything else to you?"
"Nope."
After shaking his small... big head, the Pisces director replied:
"Joan just asked to keep an eye on you guys. If anyone can get out of their fish tank, then tell him he passed... uh... passed so selection and write down the na.
If after two hours, no one has escaped from the fish tank, then take everyone out of the tank... Not chatting anymore! The fish tank over there seems to have so movent, I’ll go check it out first, good luck to you all!"
So, being able to leave the fish tank ans passing the selection?
After the Pisces director released his grip on the fish tank’s edge and disappeared into the sky above, Leon frowned and pondered for a bit, roughly understanding the current situation at Pisces Palace.
The Pisces director is now just a child, unable to handle the task of teaching the Pisces secret technique, let alone select a suitable successor for the director position, so the other directors simply replaced her, creating these oddly oversized fish tanks.
And according to the information revealed by the Pisces director, there should be secrets related to the Pisces secret technique hidden in these fish tanks responsible for testing the cleaners. As long as one can comprehend and thereby initiate into the Pisces secret technique, one can find a way to escape from the fish tank.
Hmm... so, let’s first feel about it!
...
Under the puzzled gaze of the petite female cleaner, Leon thought for a while, then squatted down directly and started touching the ground beneath them.
After feeling for a while, not finding what he wanted, he then began advancing toward the hazy distant mountains, but similarly, after walking for a short while, disappeared into a mist and then mysteriously returned from another direction.
"Mr. Leon?"
Not understanding what he was trying to do, the petite female cleaner tugged at her coat, took a couple of deep breaths to muster her courage, and boldly asked:
"What... what are you looking for?"
What am I looking for... Of course, I’m searching for the boundary of this "fish tank", to reach out and touch it!
If information about this fish tank’s abnormal object can be obtained, even if I can’t directly learn the Pisces Palace’s [Abnormal Observation] secret technique, at least there’d be so gain.
However, the person who designed this fish tank seems to be deliberately targeting . After walking a certain distance in any direction, I’d be enveloped by a white mist and sent back, unable to touch any part of the fish tank’s "body".
"Nothing much... Just think of it as stretching a bit."
After offhandedly deflecting with a sentence, Leon glanced at the female cleaner draped in his coat, seeming to recall sothing and then turned toward the clear lake water next, focusing on the giant goldfish in the lake.
Could it be that these oversized goldfish are the key to "unraveling the mystery"?
After developing suspicion in his mind, Leon intended to go down the lake to feel around, but alas these strange fish were simply too gigantic, with eyeball diaters exceeding one and a half ters. When they swam, it felt as if a convoy of dump trucks was wildly racing in the water, unbelievably exaggerated.
And given the inability to utilize the abnormal object, the outco of rashly going down the lake to touch the fish had been demonstrated once by the petite female cleaner earlier. Even if the Pisces director cos to pull out soone swallowed by the fish mouth, the experience is truly too brutal.
Seems it’s better not to think of exploiting loopholes, better to research "legitimate" thods...
Temporarily dismissing the idea of going down the lake, Leon then sat on another rock by the lake, earnestly "exploring" the Pisces Palace’s [Abnormal Observation] secret technique.
And after calming down and contemplating this, he actually started to notice sothing.
Those lion-headed goldfish in the lake seed to just wander randomly, but their swimming trajectories actually held so not so obvious patterns, and each goldfish’s "track" was completely independent from the others, absolutely never overlapping or colliding.
The lake in the fish tank world appears to be divided into many lines as thick as the goldfish on a three-dinsional level, tangled together like a ssily wrapped yarn ball.
And the trajectories of these goldfish are like those tangled yarn balls, seeming chaotic and disordered, with countless entangled threads, but essentially they are connected end-to-end, perfectly stringing onto the sa "line".
So if one can find the thread head and unwind it into a single "yarn"...
"Ah!"
Just as Leon squinted his eyes, staring at the goldfish in the lake and beginning to seek which fish might be the "thread head," beside him, the female cleaner, draped in Leon’s coat and shivering slightly in the wind, suddenly exclaid loudly and then stood up with a face full of delight:
"I get it! Their swimming trajectories are actually the sa!"
Hmm? Did she also notice?
Upon hearing the female cleaner’s exclamation, Leon couldn’t help but turn his head and look at her with a bit of surprise.
If he rembered correctly, back in Sagittarius Palace, her progress in the Sagittarius secret technique had already won recognition from the Sagittarius director, and judging by the current situation, her aptitude in the Pisces secret technique also seems quite good?
"Ah, sorry, I was too excited..."
Seeing Leon’s gaze shift over, the petite female cleaner couldn’t help but shrink her neck and promptly apologized, then spoke slightly excitedly:
"Mr. Leon, I have already comprehended the patterns of those fish! They are actually the sa fish!
The director told the Pisces Palace’s secret technique [Abnormal Observation] involves traces of the ti scale, so what we’re seeing isn’t a swarm of fish, but different stages of a single fish.
The fishes shown to us by Sir Pisces actually start from so ’origin,’ each is captured at a certain interval and placed simultaneously in the lake.
Among these revealed fishes, the majority represent the ’future’ in advance, with only the very first one representing the ’now’ that is actually occurring.
So as long as we find that fish, equating with grasping the ’reality’ that’s occurring, we should be able to get out of here!"
"Impressive."
Sincerely praised the female cleaner for a mont, then Leon, quite interested, inquired:
"Have you found that ’real’ fish yet?"
"Not yet..."
Upon hearing Leon’s query, the petite female cleaner’s expression slightly stiffened and then sowhat dejectedly responded:
"These fish’s swimming trajectories are too chaotic, yet seem connected end-to-end, I... I can’t make out which one is the initial fish, do you... do you have any ideas?"
"No ideas, but there is a thod."
After glancing at the drenched female cleaner and recalling the scene of the group of fish scrambling for food earlier, Leon couldn’t help but apologize with a smile, then got up and walked over to the sowhat panicked female cleaner and asked:
"Could you go back in once more?"
"..."
(*ﾟДﾟ*)???
