Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2765 The Thirteenth Day Talk (Seventeen)
I told you, everything can be explained, so what can't be explained?

As the old man recording spoke, he gradually became somewhat immersed in his memories.

But for Fu Qian, at that moment everything seemed perfectly reasonable.

Why did the old man develop such a strange habit?

Why are we so concerned about completing the entire record?

How could a deceased son become a secretary?
Even the very origins of this place—why did he donate it?
The pain of losing a child is indeed difficult to digest.

He seemed deeply affected, and in an unconventional way, he allowed his son to live on in his memory.

The man did not die, but wandered in these deep mountains.

To prove this point, the old man not only brought many people with him, but also used them as markers to record everything he saw, in order to find that trace.

As for why he actually found it later, he clearly wasn't in a hurry to think about the necromancer aspect.

The old man simply "believed" that he had found it.

"It is indeed a fairly reasonable division of labor."

Before paying, they didn't intend to point this out at all; on the contrary, they nodded and gave a good review in a very cooperative manner.

"With so many years and so many people, the recorded content must have almost filled a small library, right? It's definitely more suitable for young people to do the retrieval work."

How could we let such a good topic slip by?
Although the old man had only talked so much about casual matters, he was clearly quite talkative when it came to his cherished family members.

"There are just too many. Even he might have to search for a long time, and I can't even categorize them properly."

As expected, guided by the prompting, the recorder continued to express his feelings.

What appeared to be a sigh was actually a boast; it was clear that the old man was quite satisfied with his son's work ability.

Tsk tsk—

However, as a listener, I sighed deeply at that moment, feeling as if the red warning light was flashing wildly.

……

It might take a "long" time to find?
In this place on Judgment Day, this word is really quite ominous.

Given the current behavior, it can be described as dancing in a minefield. No matter how harmonious it may seem on the surface, one must have a sense of crisis.

The woman who gave her hair clips needed to get back by 6 o'clock; someone was looking for Mrs. Tracy at number 49...

There have been more than one cases regarding the concept of time. Could the phrase "it's been a while" have a similar magical effect?
Of course, we should always look on the bright side; at least it doesn't look like it's dawn yet.

“I totally understand. I used to help out at the library, and it was definitely a tough job.”

"Should I provide more keywords to narrow down the search scope?"

Subtly sensing the changes in light, Fu Qian offered helpful suggestions while deeply empathizing with the situation.

Ok……

Although no explicit statement was made, Fu Qian leans towards the fact that the old man did not directly refuse, and this silence is likely a "discussion" with his son.

"Okay, you can give it a try."

Trust was quickly rewarded; soon it seemed the father and son had finished their discussion, and the young man who had died prematurely was not inflexible.

"How about adding another outsider?"

Before paying, he was naturally very polite and immediately gave a special keyword.

This mission seems rather unusual; perhaps we should examine the traces left by our predecessors.

"Outsider?"

Although the recorder's reaction sounded genuinely unfamiliar.

"This word is useless."

His feelings were quickly confirmed; the old man gave his conclusion in just over ten seconds.

Interesting, so this is actually a very new mission? I'm the first one to attempt containment?

This was somewhat intriguing. Considering that the other party hadn't completely lost their chance, Fu Qian pondered for a moment while offering another keyword.

"Then number 49?"

……

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. This method of calculating dates may be peculiar, but it seems to be simpler and more accurate for positioning.

The recorder remained silent once again, taking it as receipt before payment and feeling quite satisfied.

Abstract dangers often require abstract ways to avoid them.

Unlike the previous outsider, the reason for providing this keyword is mainly to address certain risks that are imagined.

"Unfortunately, that word is also useless."

The result was gratifying. After a similar period of silence, the old man continued to indicate that it was ineffective, but did not say that the word was wrong.

"What about number 50?"

Fu Qian had no regrets about this and simply continued counting.

"That word is useless."

The old man remained calm and took almost the same amount of time to reach the same conclusion.

"Number 51?"

Fu Qian did not give up and continued to move forward step by step toward Judgment Day.

"It's no use."

Not only did they still get no results, but the old man's efficiency also didn't improve.

"Number 52?"

This silence seemed to have finally lasted a little longer.

"It seems we found a record; someone did indeed break in on this day."

When the old man finally spoke, he gave a truly delightful answer.

……

"What is your name?"

For someone like me, this result is undoubtedly like finding money on the street.

His tone may have remained unchanged, but if this date still doesn't work, he's actually not planning to continue and is instead planning to switch to a different type of entry.

The reason is quite simple: the core purpose of choosing the date format is to try to anchor the exit of the well of time in this way.

After all, it takes the old man's son "a long time" to complete the search; such unquantified terms are quite alarming.

If, like Lady Tracy and the others, there is also a well of time buried here, it is entirely possible that after he has freely searched through it, he will have already been sent to Judgment Day.

Instead of trying a different approach, we can keep the losses within an acceptable range. Number 52 is a temporary trial-and-error limit.

If there is no result, Fu Qian is not prepared to go down a dead end.

Of course, as an experiment, the probability of actually succeeding is not high in theory, since 12 days is still too short compared to a year.

As for why we don't count backwards? Why start asking from number 48 or even number 1?
It's very simple; there has never been a case of time reversal.

Therefore, in the pre-payment assessment, such a date carries an order of magnitude higher risk and might be reclassified as a specific date in the following year.

Then the game ends immediately.

In conclusion, this chaotic game, fraught with uncertainty, ultimately yielded a gratifying result.

"Found her. She's a woman named 'Rasik'."

While quietly offering their comments, the father and son team didn't keep anyone waiting long and finally provided their answer.

Lasik... a woman?
Even without more detailed information, at that moment, Fu Qian stared out the window at the thick, seemingly impenetrable darkness, indicating that the night in the sanatorium seemed to have gained a touch of chill.
