Mao Feiyang spread his hands helplessly. "Once Lao Lin shows up, my trademark shamelessness naturally falls back into place."
Lin Yi: "..."
"Wait...? You guys...?"
Kuai Hongji glanced at her. "The situation you described would be bad beyond imagining."
"Once it happens, it means Difa's arrangements have spiraled completely out of control."
"There's a probability, but it won't happen."
"All right... that's best, then." Lin Yi ducked his head.
Kuai Hongji drew back the curtains, then moved a little farther away.
"Maozi, give me the music box."
Mao Feiyang hurriedly put away the Bronze Key, then handed Amon's Music Box to Kuai Hongji.
Kuai Hongji took the music box and cradled it in their palms.
Lin Yi leaned closer curiously and asked, "What supernatural traits does Amon's Music Box actually have?"
Looking at the music box, Kuai Hongji slowly explained, "Its traits are 'penetration' and 'localization.' You can think of it as a kind of sonar operating on the level of layers and dimensions. It helps the user effectively explore the depths of layers and locate traces of certain things' existence."
"Layer sonar? That's so interesting!" Lin Yi exclaimed in surprise.
Kuai Hongji nodded. "Its melody can continuously penetrate time and dimensions. Once someone who hears it responds, the user receives their coordinates. Even if they don't respond, there are still certain ways to obtain their location..."
"Next, I'll use it to penetrate the time dimension and find Difa's location within 'Time Exile.'"
"Okay, wait! Hiss-" Something suddenly occurred to Lin Yi, and he sucked in a deep, cold breath. "Wait, wait. Ever since I entered school, I've occasionally heard calls that seemed to come from the depths of the Great Sea. Could... could those calls contain similar traps? Waiting for me to respond so they can get my coordinates?"
