Milluki's voice came from below.
"Bai Zhu!"
Bai Zhu snapped back to his senses and looked down at him.
"What?"
"You look awful."
"It's windy."
"There's no wind here."
"Then come up and see if there's any wind."
Milluki instinctively wanted to argue, but seeing that something was off with him, he swallowed the words that had reached his lips.
"Come down. The scan results are out."
Bai Zhu jumped down from the broken wall, landing with slightly heavy steps.
Milluki held the terminal out in front of him.
"See for yourself."
The screen displayed a thermal residue map of the outer ring.
Part of it came from their group.
There was also a large concentration scattered throughout the ruins, and there were quite a few of them.
After looking for two seconds, Bai Zhu's focus returned.
"Recent?"
Milluki nodded.
"Very recent. A few hours at most. Some traces have already been covered by the temperature of the stone layers, but the equipment can still pick up the residue."
Bai Zhu swept his gaze into the distance.
Ging and List were standing before a half-open stone door.
Razor stood at the center line, while his fourteen devils were spread out, guarding several passages.
Piyu and Satotz were still in the mural area on the left.
Dwun crouched beside a broken pillar, as if trying his best to reduce his presence.
Bai Zhu returned the terminal to Milluki.
"So that means those Specialist Association people got in before us."
Milluki lowered his voice.
"Or there's another group."
Bai Zhu looked up toward the entrance of the Black Tower.
"They can move around here and open stone doors. They probably have some way of getting in too."
"Your dog tag isn't exclusive?"
"Master, watch your mouth. This is a local connection."
