The Myriad Eyes assassin said, "Fine, fine, we'll discuss it later. In any case, this isn't any arrangement I know."

Halogen said gravely, "This must be a mine array privately designed by some top strategic mastermind, kept secret as a trump card."

"Look, there are clearly so many gaps. It seems like we could fly out any which way, yet the layout is so complicated and wastes so many bombs. Isn't that redundant?"

"In my opinion, this is a 'Living Array' that can change automatically!"

Everyone exclaimed in shock, "A Living Array? But that can't be right. All the bombs here are disguised models. They absolutely can't move on their own. If they could fly and change positions themselves, our detectors would pick them up!"

Halogen said solemnly, "That's precisely what makes this array so ingenious! Fortunately, I've studied mine arrays extensively enough to see how it works. Its design is extremely intricate. Most likely, it uses Gravity Bombs and the energy from bombs that have already detonated to shift all the mines into new positions."

"In other words, once the first bomb explodes, the distribution of every mine becomes completely different from the initial array diagram!"

"That's why we still triggered explosions even when we followed that doctor's flight path along the exact same route!"

The Myriad Eyes assassin said, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Halogen said in exasperation, "I only just noticed! I observed that every explosion affected several other minefields, and they swept toward us while moving."

"Doesn't that prove those invisible clusters of bombs were themselves drifting under inertia?"

"The mine array is a three-dimensional model, surrounding us above, below, and on every side. A gravitational pull in one location causes a topological change throughout the entire array."

Everyone asked, "Then shouldn't they drift away?
