His gaze fell upon the still-flickering Runes at the core of the small vessel. "But these operational Runes are some kind of mechanism maintaining minimal 'Existence Anchoring' and 'information preservation.' It is waiting, or recording."
"Can it be used?" Myriad Faces asked.
"Perhaps." Light flickered in Lin Ye's eyes. "The Prototype can resonate with it. If we can activate it, it may become our temporary base and means of transportation in this 'Redundant Zone.'"
He looked at everyone. "Repair it. Activate it. This 'Redundancy Ark' may be the first piece of 'inheritance' we have found in this dead end."
Just as Lin Ye prepared to attempt a deep resonance with the vessel's core, the faint flickering light suddenly changed frequency, projecting an extremely blurry, intermittent stream of ancient information laced with a powerful warning:
"...Alert... detected... high-threat... tracking protocol fluctuations... 'Eraser'... preloading signal... approaching..."
"Repeat... 'Eraser'... preloading signal... approaching..."
"Warning... escapees... you... have been... loc..."
The transmission abruptly cut off.
A bone-chilling, horrifying palpitation that existed solely for "total nullification" stabbed into this silent Redundant Zone like an invisible ice spike!
The "Eraser" preloading signal!
The term tolled through the consciousness of every member of Arrowhead Squad like a death knell.
Unlike the Paintbrush's corrections or the Calibration Anchor's adjustments, the "Eraser" was described as an ultimate protocol that would "completely erase" a target's existence from the levels of logic and concepts.
Its preloading had been triggered so quickly? And its signal had already tracked them here?
"This Redundant Zone isn't safe at all! Either Shadow of Paradox overestimated how well this place was hidden, or it deliberately led us into a dead end!" Radiant Stilllight said, shocked and furious.
"No, it may be both." Lin Ye quickly calmed down. "The activation of the 'Eraser' confirms the threat level of
