"Time, production, transformation..." Sun Hang murmured. "I think I know where the problem lies."
"How so?" Candle Dragon asked urgently.
"This thing might not be able to turn finished products into anomalies, but if it influences them during the manufacturing process..."
Sun Hang immediately put his idea into action—a cluster of ghostly blue flames ignited in his hand, and the stainless steel fork quickly melted into a blob of molten steel floating above his palm.
Sun Hang began imagining a different shape. At the same time, the dark red square Crystalline Body floated up, drawn by an invisible force.
Seeing the square crystal react, Candle Dragon and Wang Xiyi, who were standing at a distance, held their breath.
The red square crystal spun several times in midair before aiming one of its corners at the steel fork being reshaped... Faintly, Sun Hang seemed to see a pale red band of light connecting the two.
Sun Hang could sense that the meme within the square crystal had not traveled through the band of light into the molten steel. Instead, an entirely new meme, one with a frequency utterly different from that of the square crystal itself, had appeared within the molten steel out of thin air.
In just a few seconds, the molten steel had turned into a crudely made spoon, while the red square crystal fell back into Sun Hang's palm.
"This spoon... has become an anomaly?" Wang Xiyi could not help asking.
Of the three, her ability to sense the aura of anomalies was the weakest. Combined with the mutation that had just occurred, she had no choice but to keep a safe distance from the red square crystal... to the point that she could not sense any changes in the fork—no, it should be called a spoon now.
