Lu Yuan did not idle away the rest of the afternoon.
Sitting before the workbench, he continued identifying the ninth symbol on the bone fragment.
This symbol was more difficult than the previous ones.
Three branches split from the middle of its lines, each bending before converging back into the main line, forming a nested structure.
After staring at it for nearly two minutes, his temples began to throb faintly.
[Inscription Studies (Advanced · Eerie Inscription): +0.1...3.5/50] [Sanity: -1...82/120]
Lu Yuan rubbed his forehead and set down the bone fragment.
Nine already.
Just one more and he would reach the threshold of ten Duo Huo Ke had mentioned.
But he had something important to do that afternoon.
The symbols could wait.
At noon, he went to the logistics cafeteria for a meal.
After returning, he lay on the bed with his eyes closed to rest, while also circulating Guard twice.
[Guard I: +0.3...8.8/10]
The outline of that river deep in his mind became a little clearer.
When he opened his eyes, the light outside the window had already shifted.
It was afternoon.
Lu Yuan returned to the second floor of his residence and checked his equipment.
He loaded Flame into the chambers, then added two gilded Enchanted Bullets just in case.
He took two bottles of Advanced Holy Water from the storage cabinet and tucked them into the pocket at his waist.
Not only could this stuff restore sanity, it could also deal with pollution and Eerie entities.
Lu Yuan simply did not bring the copper sword. Other than against Ghouls, it was completely inferior to the Revolver when facing other Eerie entities.
Its hardness and durability were problematic as well.
He shut the toolbox.
Lu Yuan headed toward the mission site Klaus had indicated.
