Glimmer in Desperation

Lin Ye injected a strand of Prototype power into the core of Unfinished Crossing.

Stimulated by the resonance of the Dreamweaver Echo, several of the dim Runes on Unfinished Crossing's core lit up again with extreme difficulty, conveying a vague thought:

"...bear... continue... this is my duty..."

"...shared ruin... may be accepted... resonance... may increase..."

"...however... a contract... shared... causality..."

Unfinished Crossing could accept this strand of Dreamweaver Echo, but it required a contract to jointly bear the unknown causality.

As the Tuner capable of communicating with both, Lin Ye became the witness and guide for the contract.

This was undoubtedly an opportunity, but it also carried risks.

Just as Lin Ye weighed his options, Xuxi's alarm sounded again, carrying even deeper anxiety:

"Warning! High-intensity, multi-source scanning fluctuations detected! Sources—rapidly approaching!"

"Analyzing fluctuation characteristics... matching..."

"Match results: 1. 'Eraser' protocol tracking signal! 2. Unknown energy signature, partially similar to the predatory fluctuations of the Taotie Court, but more orderly and cold! 3. Weak network beacon interference noise."

"At least three forces of differing natures are approaching from different directions! Estimated earliest contact time: less than three hundred seconds!"

They had barely resolved the crisis of the ruined tower when an even greater crisis came crashing down upon them!

The Eraser had indeed not given up its pursuit, and its signal had grown even stronger! What was that fluctuation similar to Taotie's but more orderly? Another unit of the Taotie Court? Or another unit within the Archivist Network specifically tasked with handling such "predatory anomalies"?

The appearance of network beacon interference noise indicated that the New Era Network might also be active somewhere nearby.

Wolves ahead, tigers behind, and potential allies lurking at their flank.

Meanwhile, they were trapped in a dead end. The little boat Unfinished Crossing was out of
