"Yeah, since we can’t find answers inside, let’s go outside and take a look. Maybe there’s another chanism out there." Lin Caisang said honestly.
Lu Tianfeng: "..."
Why hadn’t he thought of this possibility before?
If we can’t find anything inside, maybe it’s outside!
"I must have overlooked this."
With that, he lifted his foot and walked outside.
Yuan Jue watched him leave, then looked at Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang.
"Young Master Sui, Captain Lin, Lu Tianfeng has already gone out. Aren’t you going to catch up?" he asked.
"Of course, but with such a big belly, I have to walk slowly, right?" Lin Caisang replied with a light smile.
Captain Liu: "..."
With such a big belly, didn’t you still fight those demons before? And you didn’t seem any less agile, did you?
But naturally, he chose not to say this because there was nothing more to say.
"So... shall we go out first and look around, and keep an eye on Lu Tianfeng for you too?"
Yuan Jue said, glancing at Captain Liu, and pulled him to his side, half-pulling and half-dragging him out.
Captain Liu: "!"
He looked at his arm being pulled, sowhat dazed, wanting to say that he really didn’t want to go out at all, okay?
Why would he? It was so scorching hot outside, enough to roast his skin, and he would have to expend so much spiritual power. Why would he endure this suffering when he could stay inside and see what the corpse-sealing talisman looked like?
But Yuan Jue didn’t give him that chance!
"Have you noticed that Captain Yuan has been acting a bit strange lately?" The three-man group, often on the fence, muttered as they walked out.
"It’s not just a bit strange; he’s very strange, extrely strange!" another person said thoughtfully.
"Really suspicious, isn’t the female team mber who’s always with Captain Yuan following him secretly because she can’t rest in peace? But her death had nothing to do with Captain Yuan; it was her own carelessness that got her dragged away by that giant Transforming Fruit Core."
The last one also said as the three of them walked outside, slowly disappearing from Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang’s sight.
"Yuan Jue is indeed acting strange," Lin Caisang said to Sui Zimo.
She had naturally noticed over the past couple of days that Yuan Jue was really strange. Previously, he wouldn’t have such a big reaction to the corpse-sealing talisman, but now...
"He’s just like that woman before, restless and anxious," Sui Zimo said.
"After that woman died, he began acting this way. Didn’t you notice? Yuan Jue feels just like that woman before she was swallowed by the Transforming Fruit Core."
Hearing this, Lin Caisang was taken aback.
Indeed, no wonder she found it so familiar. Yuan Jue is just like how the previous female team mber was.
Moreover, they both had a common trait, which was that they showed no signs beforehand—everything was normal. But suddenly, after a specific point, they developed a great interest in the corpse-sealing talisman.
"Are you suggesting... they’re being eroded by sothing?" she asked, a bit incredulous.
It’s not impossible, after all, there’s always soone better, sothing beyond understanding. Beyond the Illusion Continent, there was an even higher continent, and nothing was impossible.
"How about I first go into the Golden Pearl space and ask the Jade Mirror? It might know about this situation." she suggested.
