Ronan returned home and happened to run into Luo Shuqing, who was getting off work. He hurriedly greeted her and lowered his head as he headed inside, but halfway there, he turned back and asked:
"Aunt, you didn't touch the notebook I used to carry around, did you?"
"Why would I touch it?" Luo Shuqing changed her shoes at the door without looking up.
"I was afraid it got packed away by mistake last time. Ah, I just called. Uncle won't be coming back for dinner, and neither will Mo Ya or Raven. They're eating out. You saw the contract, right?"
Luo Shuqing's voice followed him up to the second floor. "You missed Mo Peng. Oh, and yourself."
"Me?"
"Are you eating at home?"
"Uh, I'll try to come back early to sleep."
Ronan did not dare say more. In his bedroom, he successfully found the Paged Notebook that had recently been sealed away and left unused, along with the drained Imitation Paper Soft Screen embedded within it.
Charging it was no problem at all for Ronan, who possessed an Electromagnetic Direction Configuration. Without wasting time, he called out another goodbye to Luo Shuqing and left the house again.
His next destination was the Tree Hole Space on Withered Tree Sandbar, beside North Shore Gear at Zhi Xing Institute.
With the support of Extraordinary Power, Ronan could cross the physical distance in a single step. Yet the thoughts in his mind were like a river of ice that had just cracked open, with icy shards of doubt and cold currents of logic churning together as they slowly flowed onward.
Ronan unconsciously flipped through the Paged Notebook. Following the feel of habit embedded deep in his hands, he found the page containing the Imitation Paper Soft Screen in a single motion.
