Ling An read the note Fu Ling had left behind, speechless for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Tide Sis noticed that something seemed off about him.
"Nothing." Ling An quietly tucked the note back into the book. "Since this belongs to Wu Li, let's return it to him later. Did you find anything in the journal?"
"It's a deeply moving story. That girl named Fu Ling had long since accepted that she was going to die. All she hoped for was to fulfill their unfinished dreams with her lover in the days she had left."
"...But just as we expected, the Fractsidus were indeed pulling the strings behind the scenes." Changli quickly reached her conclusion.
"These are probably the last remnants of the Fractsidus on Mt. Firmament. We must wipe them out in one fell swoop before peace can truly return to the mountain."
"And the temporal turbulence that explorer discovered is connected to the legendary game of Go."
"As expected, our journey still leads back to the legend of that game. Fortunately, the map the explorer left behind has already marked our destination for us."
Changli spoke calmly, looking toward the far end of the cave, where a faint light shone through.
Ling An silently committed their location to memory and headed out of the cave.
Sure enough, the presence of temporal turbulence grew increasingly distinct.
They climbed onto a cliff, where an old, abandoned Go board came into view.
The stone table had broken into several pieces and lay toppled on the ground.
Tide Sis went forward to investigate. "There are signs of digging here. It looks like someone dug with their bare hands. Could it have been Wu Li?"
Meanwhile, Changli's sharp eyes spotted a Time-Reversal Instrument nearby. "Just like before, perhaps this Time-Reversal Instrument is the key."
