"'Time,' 'layers,' 'the mind,' 'the supernatural'... many crises arise unpredictably. All we can do is avoid mistakes as much as possible, or, even if we must make mistakes, keep them within our margin for error and allow only minor ones..."
"'Minor... mistakes'? Even mistakes can be controlled?" Lin Yi asked in confusion.
"Repeater boy, did you learn your Dream Boundary Studies for nothing?"
"Huh?" Lin Yi panicked. "I... well... I never studied Dream Boundary Studies..."
"You must have studied it. You simply don't remember...
"Memories can deceive you, but your instincts won't."
"Otherwise, what were you trying to do downstairs, touching mystical runes and probing a super night-walking species?"
"Uh..." Lin Yi didn't dare say that he had been trying to expand his field of vision, which had nothing to do with Dream Boundary Studies. Still, he silently withdrew his consciousness back within the Clock Tower...
"Um... '02,' where do you think that thing you're looking for might appear?" Lin Yi asked.
The Night Watchman said, "It could appear anywhere in the Art Building."
"Is it 'alive'?"
"No, I mean that since I don't know where it is, it could be anywhere."
"Then can't you describe it at all?"
"'Description' is meaningless. Everyone's cognition differs under the influence of the supernatural... but when you approach it, you'll know that it's what I'm looking for."
"It's that uncanny?"
"That uncanny. And the 'Angel' is looking for it too. I have to secure it before the Angel finds it."
"The Angel..."
Lin Yi's heart trembled, and he instinctively looked at the world outside the Clock Tower.
In this twisted, collapsing world of darkness, the Angel's body, lurking deep within the endless black tide, exerted an overwhelming sense of oppression...
Before it, Lin Yi's first impression was that he was far too insignificant.
