Mentor???
Hearing that familiar name beside him, Fang Ran recalled what Ling had once told him about it in the underground space beneath the Night Bureau.
He was the person who had completely changed the structure of Nevernight Palace.
He had not expected that, given their current situation and the broadly unknown, complicated circumstances, their next step after narrowing down their objectives layer by layer would be this.
Realizing once again that he lacked this kind of overall perspective and decisiveness, Fang Ran stared blankly at Osphia's exquisite profile beneath her sunglasses and asked in surprise:
"You mean we're going to find the mentor next?"
He realized that, as an outstanding member of the younger generation, she really was incredible.
"Yes. If we find Doctor Schmidt, there may be a way to lift the Simulation Scenario's lockdown, rescue Lady Herschel, reclaim control of the Royal Court, and break the current deadlock."
Still aware that she stood out too much, Osphia picked up another scarf and covered the rest of her face, speaking in a low but resolute voice:
"This is something only you and I can do now, because we know about the upheaval in the National War."
A string of objectives suddenly connected together.
While the outside world still believed the National War was proceeding smoothly, and even the Zero Riders did not yet know about the changes that had taken place within it, Fang Ran and Osphia were the only ones currently aware of the truth.
And that was also one of the main reasons they were being hunted.
"Then where is he now?"
Learning that this was what only they could do, the helpless feeling of having been suddenly transported to Europe and thrown into a massive conspiracy vanished. His thoughts clearing, Fang Ran's eyes brightened slightly
