"This place isn't safe anymore. Those two Apostles could bring others back to hunt us down at any moment. We'd better leave now."
Hearing Zhong Baiye's words, Shenhe and Keqing realized something as well and immediately agreed with him.
Then something else suddenly occurred to Shenhe, and she hurriedly spoke to Zhong Baiye and Keqing.
"When I was running away, I saw lots of identical halls. They seemed to have the same Dark Matter inside them."
Zhong Baiye and Keqing were somewhat bewildered by what Shenhe said.
But after a moment's thought, Zhong Baiye understood. There had been so many black-clad figures besieging him earlier that a tiny amount of Dark Matter couldn't possibly have produced them all. This substance must have been scattered throughout the depths of The Chasm.
Although the original game hadn't mentioned this Dark Matter, it had offered some clues about the corresponding contamination beneath The Chasm.
Based on the hints in the story, Zhong Baiye had reason to suspect that there must be a core down here surrounded by Dark Matter.
They would have to purify that core to truly resolve this crisis.
Just as Zhong Baiye was about to share his theory with Shenhe and Keqing, another figure suddenly appeared behind them.
Sensing this presence, Zhong Baiye and the others hurriedly took up combat stances.
Seeing how ready they were to fight, the newcomer quickly raised both hands and slowly approached them.
The depths of The Chasm really were far too dark. That dim lighting was precisely why the Electro Apostle hadn't spotted Zhong Baiye earlier.
The Pyro Apostle had only noticed something wrong with his appearance after getting close to him.
Seeing the newcomer slowly approach with both hands raised, Zhong Baiye and the others knew that the person probably meant no harm,
