Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2303 Inverted Lake and Coordinates

They actually went to that place?
The cast shared further, realizing that their earlier description of "finding a needle in a haystack" was surprisingly apt.

At the same time, such a bloody case suddenly seemed much more reasonable.

The Ash Sea, one of the most dangerous areas in the world, has suffered another incident.

The only downside is that the place is quite large, and then you have to search for a corpse in it.

Considering the potential workload, Fu Qian felt that he should have tried to torture and extract a confession from Kalaudora.

After all, not only is the area vastly different, but Fu Qian, who has experience traversing it before, has a deep understanding of the unpredictable nature of the Ash Sea.

Those creatures and islands that seem to be cast from ashes could completely change their appearance in the blink of an eye, from birth to death.

Finding something in such an environment is quite difficult.

Why didn't you ask for such important information at the time?
It's quite simple; Professor Calaudora is very principled and clearly remains vigilant.

Although it was just a projection, and I had gained some trust through our conversation, revealing the unusual occurrence of the Crystallization Blessing meant that this was almost the limit.

To know more, a higher level of trust is needed; otherwise, even the "story" you tell yourself might be questioned.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time at the time.

"Now, based on what you've said, the wise dead should refer to a member of an organization similar to the academy? Although it doesn't sound like a good outcome."

While Fu Qian was summarizing the objective difficulties, the cast members didn't waste any time and continued their analysis.

"And their location was also strange, a research institution built in such a place?"

One more thing before I finish.

"This organization couldn't have existed before the Ash Sea became like this, could it?"

……

Establishing scientific research sites in extreme environments to conduct special tests and observations is not a particularly unusual practice.

However, moving the entire institution there would be a different story; after all, one wrong move could lead to something like burning books and burying scholars alive.

In comparison, the academy's approach seems more normal, as it only organizes elites for temporary explorations and even maintains secrecy.

Unless the place is as ancient as I just said.

"How could that be? According to the current consensus, the Ash Sea, like other forbidden areas, is at least a product of the Long Night."

"Considering that in earlier times, the supernatural system was dominated by faith, the possibility of such an institution appearing was extremely small, and even if it did appear briefly, the probability of its survival and development was even smaller."

Unfortunately, the chances don't seem high, and the cast shook their heads confidently.

That's true; progress in understanding is always fraught with resistance.

Now that Apocalypse is studying those bone spirits, the reaction from the Ashes of the Spirits is so strong.

Treating the extraordinary as scientific research would have been an absolute act of blasphemy in that era of worship; anyone who even entertained such thoughts would have been burned at the stake.

"So you don't know why they were there?"

I agree with the analysis of the cast, and will confirm if there is any further information before payment.

"I don't know, I don't even know if it has disappeared yet, there's absolutely no trace of it."

The cast's response remained positive.

"you've been to?"

"I've been there."

……

As expected of the leader of Apocalypse, this spirit of refusal to be bound and the pursuit of true knowledge shines so brightly. Upon hearing that the cast had actually been to the Ash Sea, I immediately raised the difficulty level of the search even higher.

So many scientific expeditions, besides the operation of the Rende Association, probably also involved a lot of energy spent on that accident, yet they still couldn't find any clues.

"I believe that when Dean Li reminded everyone to keep it confidential, he must have also reminded them not to do anything reckless?"

Of course, this didn't cause any delays at all, and Fu Qian expressed his admiration for this unrestrained operation.

"Yes, so I'm not even keeping it a secret now."

Cast spoke with such an air of self-righteousness.

"But even if I were to go and search, if I were caught by the Night Watchers or even just noticed, you might still be in trouble."

The note before payment is a reminder.

The idea I had earlier has now been confirmed.

While the preservation room project was certainly a good idea from Toshimiya Toshiin, its greater significance for the cast seemed to be simply an invitation.

Even whether or not you see this invitation is itself a clever screening process.

Only by appreciating both the failed attempts and the events of that year can one truly understand the deeper meaning behind such an event and come here.

After a fruitless search, the cast hopes to bring in more resources for exploration.

Of course, even if the process is so subtle, it doesn't mean that he can get away with it once his behavior is discovered.

First of all, the probability is not small. Judging from the fact that the actor has been messing around for so many years without being warned, a big reason is probably because he hasn't found the right person.

Given the previous deductions, it's highly likely that the Night Watchers were aware of this matter, and Li He's attitude is probably a reflection of their will; it's hard to guarantee that they won't take some surveillance measures.

If they happen to run into each other, even if they conceal their identities, Cast's plan to preserve the collection room will still stand out in the eyes of those with ulterior motives.

From this perspective, it seems he should have changed his approach to probing and been more discreet.

“I know, that’s why I did it.”

However, when reminded beforehand, the cast simply chuckled.

"If I cause trouble, it will be easier for them to believe that this is my will."

……

Dean Gao Yi.

I sighed before I finished speaking.

Cast's statement couldn't be clearer: he never intended to use this method to absolve himself of responsibility; on the contrary, it was precisely through this high-profile approach that he took the blame for any potential accountability.

He had long expressed his curiosity about the accident, and having made little progress in his search, he clearly didn't mind bringing in some fresh blood.

At the same time, Cast clearly believes he bears responsibility for this matter and chose to set up a target here in advance.

If trouble arises later, the pressure on oneself will be minimized.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. So, could you share your previous exploration routes?"

Although it wasn't that significant, the dean readily accepted the offer of goodwill and even went a step further by requesting some detailed information.

"Hehe... My method may not work for you, especially since there's no proof that it's effective... But I can still draw you a diagram."

As expected, the cast didn't mind at all, and were even quite pleased that the team got into character so quickly.

"That's the best."

Before paying, I didn't stand on ceremony, and at the same time, a picture really popped into my mind: the starry sky and the sea.

In the Ash Sea, there's a coordinate I've never been able to reach; I wonder if it's related to that Upside-Down Lake.
