Gray-White Text appeared at the edge of his vision.
[You have touched His existence... You have paid the price of sanity for it...] [Sanity: -2... -2... 58/140]
Lu Yuan did not panic.
This was his second time entering the Person on the Wall's domain. The last time had been in the Pipe Network Layer, when he used the bridge established by the Worm of Knowledge to project his consciousness inside and pull Leike out. Back then, he had stood on a narrow platform only wide enough for one person, with the void beneath his feet. This Rock Platform was larger and positioned higher.
His sixth sense told him not to let the Great Ascendant approach the Skull, so he called upon the Person on the Wall's name. The Linked Summoning had succeeded, and the Person on the Wall had responded. The price was being pulled in here himself.
Meeting again meant he had to complete a trade. Otherwise, he could not leave.
Lu Yuan had roughly guessed this from the first time he entered this place. Leike had made it very clear: he had completed a trade with the Person on the Wall in this domain before being released. Lu Yuan himself had also seemingly reached some sort of agreement with the Person on the Wall last time.
But Lu Yuan was not concerned about himself.
What if Klaus, The Earl, Adrian, and everyone else whose consciousness had been locked by the Seed had also been dragged here by the Person on the Wall and forced into making trades with Him?
Leike had not said what Wish he made before the Person on the Wall or what price he paid. But judging from his tone and expression after returning, he probably had not suffered much of a loss.
