Yata no Kagami

With that in mind, the death of Amamiya Haruki's master could be explained.

Since it had been Amamiya Haruki's master and Yurina Kurotetsu who entered the ruins together back then, they had likely discovered this "Origin" at the same time. Drawn by the instinctive temptation the "Origin" held for living beings, they had touched that ball of silver light. However, Amamiya Haruki's master had not been compatible with the "Origin." Less than three months after leaving the ruins, the power of the "Origin" within his body had rejected him, claiming his life.

Lin Qiye stepped forward toward the statue within the black shrine, wanting to get a closer look at the silver orb.

But after only two steps, the Knight and Wu Xiangnan blocked his path. Wu Xiangnan raised a hand to stop him and said seriously, "That thing can beguile the mind. Don't let it draw you in."

Lin Qiye paused, then smiled. "Don't worry, Vice-Captain. It can't beguile me."

The "Origin" was extraordinarily difficult for living beings to resist, but Lin Qiye was different. He already possessed a portion of the Night Origin within him. This "Origin" before him was impure and incompatible with him, so it could not tempt him in the slightest.

Seeing that Lin Qiye's expression remained unchanged, Wu Xiangnan was somewhat astonished. As someone who had personally experienced the temptation of the "Origin," he knew only too well how terrifying it was...

Why could Lin Qiye walk toward it so calmly?

Come to think of it... Jialan had seemed to have no reaction when facing the "Origin" just now either?

Wu Xiangnan watched Lin Qiye and Jialan walk side by side, the puzzlement in his eyes deepening.

Lin Qiye walked up to the silver mass of light and examined it carefully for a while.
