Because no matter how one looked at it, Angel's goal was to capture humans who had not completed their transformation and seal them away to prevent humanity's extinction.
In other words, they were preserving a future in which Moerae could exist.
"You mean..."
As Tao Shuyuefa spoke, he put forth a hypothesis. "The large number of disappearances before the Transformation Ritual spread..."
Before he could finish, Cong Yu had already nodded. "They probably became hourglasses and were buried deep underground."
"And..."
Cong Yu paused, then added, "We don't know whether we can still dig them up."
Or rather, just like those time capsules from before that "reached the future the moment they were buried."
For some inexplicable reason and logic, they might already have been sent to the future and were no longer visible here.
As for how the humans sealed inside were supposed to survive until the future... well, Faith Power would surely find a way.
But...
"We still have to try looking for them."
In response to Tao Shuyuefa's words, Cong Yu nodded as he prepared to say goodbye. "Yeah. I'll exchange information with everyone first, then we'll discuss searching for the hourglasses... I'm leaving."
If they could be found, searching all over the world for the sealed humans would be an enormous undertaking.
Was there really enough time left?
Cong Yu wasn't sure.
And if they "couldn't be found"...
Then the situation would become even worse.
Plan B might be declared a failure, because then there would be no way at all to achieve [the extinction of humans (Moerae)].
Unless Cong Yu could travel to the future and bring those people back.
Doctor, I Made It!
Was that something to be grateful for?
After a long investigation, people really did discover deeply buried hourglasses underground...
But
