He suspected Tang Hao or Ah Yin had altered the town to blur people’s memories, but worried that retrieving the key could draw their attention and expose him and Gu Yuena.

• An Ping sensed the concept of happiness growing stronger near the museum, but the landlady said it was closed until after the festival, so An Ping and Gu Yuena agreed to attend.

• An Ping recognized that Aya’s key matched the key in the Source of Magic Power, but withdrew before touching it because absorbing it would remove the town’s barrier.
