It was just that the way she spoke, and her tone, were clearly...
"You two can do something like this?"
Wen Ke'er glanced sideways, putting on a serious look as she stared at the "Winnie" from before.
Because the feeling and aura coming from her were unmistakably Shimada Yukimi's!!
Even across different worlds, where the two of them should not have had any possible contact or communication, Shimada Yukimi's consciousness could briefly appear here?!
"Only temporarily."
"A situation like this is only possible because Yukimi's aura and mine were originally so close as to be inseparable. If it is merely a treasure containing a portion of someone's power, it can only allow perception. To achieve a brief exchange of consciousness like I just did is still quite difficult."
"Without considering the possibility of clashing with the treasure's original owner, simply holding the treasure makes it extremely difficult to draw the owner's attention. So, I actually think Shen Yi was being somewhat overly cautious just now."
"Besides, trying to trace someone in reverse through a treasure containing only a portion of their power would sound utterly absurd to anyone else."
As she spoke, the color on Winnie's fingertips completely faded away.
"This world is about to completely collapse."
Shen Yi's gaze did not change. He had already roughly grasped the current situation and gained a deeper understanding of the circumstances.
"Should we leave?"
Wen Ke'er turned around and moved close to Shen Yi.
They had come all this way without finding any information about the Black Fog. Worse, because of the Seven-Petaled Polo Sha, a rift had formed between Shen Yi and Winnie. Wen Ke'er was growing anxious as well.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
Quietly, Winnie walked to Wen Ke'er's side.
With that little box gone, this world—Wen Ke'er's original world—was collapsing
