"This Human-Faced Pattern might not necessarily be related to the Bewitching Heart Demoness, but since the Bewitching Heart Demoness could wreak havoc by borrowing the power of contracts, that means there must be some way to simplify the process of forming a contract, or conceal the conditions under which a contract is recognized." As Dox spoke, he glanced at the Human-Faced Pattern. "So, no detail can be underestimated."
Kael: "...What you say makes sense, but when we were in the Underground Waterway, I didn't see you picking apart details like this?"
The Underground Waterway had clearly been even more dangerous when they first began exploring it.
Dox gave a soft snort and said through the Mind Tether, "It was different."
Angel: "How was it different?"
Dox replied with a perfectly matter-of-fact expression, "When I was in the Underground Waterway, my inspiration didn't give me a warning to 'beware of contracts.' Of course it was different."
Angel: "..." Sure enough, he should not expect Dox to rationally analyze the ins and outs of things.
But it had to be said that Dox's inspiration was truly formidable.
Just like this time: although they had yet to determine whether the Human-Faced Pattern would bind them through contracts, Dox's burst of inspiration had genuinely convinced both Angel and Kael.
Kael was already thinking: if they had to avoid communicating with the Human-Faced Pattern to keep from being tricked, what should they do next?
That line of thought itself tacitly accepted that Dox's words were true.
"What should we do next?" In response to Kael's question, Dox raised his right hand and rubbed his chin. After pondering for a moment, he finally shrugged. "Anyway, don't communicate with the Human-Faced Pattern, and don't play any games. Other than that, there probably isn't much to worry about."
