"What time is it?"
As soon as Zhang Yan pushed open the study door, Nie Qingcheng's voice came from inside.
She didn't look up.
There were documents spread out on the table, the computer screen was on, and there was a glass of water that had gone cold next to it.
Zhang Yan stood at the door and glanced at her.
Before he left, she said she would go to sleep.
Looking at her now, she hasn't even changed out of her pajamas, and her hair is just casually tied up.
"It's not dawn yet," Zhang Yan said.
"What time?"
4:56.
Nie Qingcheng finally looked up.
She looked at him for two seconds, her gaze sweeping from his forehead to his shoulder, and then back to his hands.
She put down her pen only after confirming that there were no injuries.
"The refrigerator is indeed empty," she said.
Zhang Yan took off his coat and hung it up: "Let me finish talking about the important business first, then I'll go buy groceries."
"explain."
Zhang Yan placed the handwritten copy, the encrypted storage device, and the contact card left by Guan Xing on the table.
The cards are very simple.
There is only a six-pointed star with the character "观" embedded inside, and a string of encrypted frequency bands.
Nie Qingcheng picked it up and glanced at it.
"Guan Tian Ge?"
"Um."
Zhang Yan sat down opposite her and condensed the events in the underground core layer into the shortest possible version.
Three hundred years of archives.
It arrived incompletely eight hundred years ago.
Sky Anchor.
Wind-breathing Jade.
Empty shell anchor point.
There are also people who survived from 30,000 years ago and are similar to him.
Upon hearing the last sentence, Nie Qingcheng paused for a moment on the edge of the card.
But she didn't ask any further questions immediately.
She knows very well what's most important right now.
"Fengxiyu." She turned on her computer. "I have this name in my geological resource database. I'll give you the answer in half an hour."
Zhang Yan glanced at her.
"Aren't you going to ask about the person who looks like me?"
"You wouldn't know even if I asked."
Nie Qingcheng typed on the keyboard, her tone calm.
"Check what you can find first. For what you can't find, wait until the Guantian Pavilion has completely cleared out the files."
Zhang Yan smiled.
This is Nie Qingcheng.
She can be gentle when needed, pulling him into her arms, and decisive when necessary.
He leaned back in his chair and opened the system panel.
Completeness of the Heavenly Craftsman's Heart: 99.2%.
Four Spirits Cooperative Sealing Mode: Unlocked.
Success rate of sealing: 91%.
This number is significantly higher than after Yokosuka.
The Class A pollutant at the Jinghai node has filled a crucial gap.
But it's not stable enough yet.
Zhang Yan drew a line in his mind for the final seal.
Nine out of ten are just good at fighting.
Ninety-five percent is the safe zone he wants.
0.8% remains.
not much.
But it gets harder towards the end.
Normal level B contamination nodes have almost stopped increasing.
They must be high-ranking family members or high-density sources of pollution.
Now Xu has learned his lesson and won't easily hand over A-rank family members to him.
"Found it."
Nie Qingcheng turned the screen around.
Zhang Yan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the screen.
The first record comes from a local gazetteer from the Qing Dynasty.
Duanyun Valley, on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou.
The jade is white in color and has a texture like clouds and mist.
The locals consider it an inauspicious place and do not collect, enter, or stay overnight there.
The second item is an internal report from thirty years ago.
A geological exploration team entered the outer perimeter of Duanyun Valley and recorded abnormal magnetic field fluctuations. Their equipment malfunctioned on a large scale, and they brought out an unclassifiable mineral sample.
The samples were completely broken during transport back.
The exploration team was subsequently disbanded.
The report is sealed.
"Broken Cloud Valley." Zhang Yan entered the coordinates into the system map.
A red circle quickly appeared on the map.
Deep in the mountains.
The terrain is complex.
The road is intermittent.
The satellite image contains abnormal noise.
"Magnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices," Nie Qingcheng said. "Ordinary drones are basically useless inside. Communications will also be affected."
Zhang Yan nodded.
This is not unexpected.
Since the Wind-Breath Jade can create a time-delay field, it's reasonable that the surrounding environment is abnormal.
"I'll go tomorrow."
Nie Qingcheng looked at him.
"So urgent?"
"The Sky-Gazing Anchor can serve as a backup insurance," Zhang Yan said. "If the Four Spirits Seal goes awry, the Wind-Breath Jade can give me a second chance."
Nie Qingcheng did not object.
She only asked, "How long?"
"It depends on the road conditions. It could take two days if things go smoothly, or three days if things take longer."
"Who should I bring?"
"Myself."
Nie Qingcheng's gaze turned slightly cold.
Zhang Yan added, "The magnetic field of Duan Yun Valley is abnormal; too many people would only cause trouble. Qin Xiao will handle the outer perimeter; I'll go in."
Nie Qingcheng remained silent.
Zhang Yan knew she was not satisfied.
But he couldn't let her go with this.
Broken Cloud Valley is neither a business bureau operation nor an ordinary operation. Electronic equipment is malfunctioning, the magnetic field is abnormal, and the Wind-Breathing Jade may even cause localized time delays.
He went in by himself; there was a system and a mecha, which he could adjust at any time.
Having another ordinary person around introduces too many variables.
Even if that person is Nie Qingcheng.
Especially because it's her, Zhang Yan can't afford to gamble.
A system notification will pop up at this time.
The current integrity of the Heavenly Craftsman's Heart has been detected to be 99.2%.
The remaining 0.8% can be completed through the following methods:
First, purify the relatives of those in ruins classified as Grade A or above.
Second, actively engage with high-density pollution sources.
Third, absorb the precursor energy wave released before the arrival of the Ruins' main body.
No new targets of Class A or above that can be safely captured have been detected within the current monitoring network.
Zhang Yan stared at the last line.
Precursor energy wave.
In other words, the final 0.8% will most likely have to wait for the market to come to us on its own.
This is not good news.
The appearance of the precursor wave means that the entity of the Ruins is very close to the reality layer.
But it's not bad news either.
At least he knew where the last bit of food was.
Nie Qingcheng noticed his pause.
"System notification?"
Zhang Yan did not hide it from her.
"0.8% remains, and there's no suitable target right now. Unless we wait for the precursor energy wave before the main body of the Ruins arrives."
Nie Qingcheng closed the data page.
"So you need to complete all the insurance before the precursor wave appears."
"right."
"Wind-breathing Jade".
"right."
"Guan Tian Ge" (Observation Pavilion).
"Use it, but don't believe it completely."
Nie Qingcheng nodded.
She picked up the contact card left by the stargazer and turned it over.
"She is obsessed with the craftsmanship of nature."
Zhang Yan looked at her.
Nie Qingcheng said in a calm tone: "Someone who has been searching for many years suddenly finds something in your hands, it's impossible for them not to have an obsession."
"I know."
"She herself is a potential collaborator. The Guantiange organization behind her needs to be screened."
"I'll have Qin Xiao investigate."
"I'll check."
Nie Qingcheng put the card into the folder next to her.
"Qin Xiao is investigating the military's operations, while I'm investigating the money and personnel. A three-hundred-year-old organization couldn't possibly have no financial transactions at all."
Zhang Yan did not stop him.
Nie Qingcheng's background checks were faster than some of the military's formal procedures.
She doesn't follow the rules.
Now, what Zhang Yan needs is to break the rules.
He got up, went to the kitchen, poured a glass of warm water, and placed it beside her.
"I drank it."
Nie Qingcheng looked at the glass of water but didn't touch it.
Zhang Yan didn't urge him.
Two seconds later, she picked up the glass and drank half of it.
"I didn't like the look you gave me just now," she said.
"Which one?"
"He mentally excluded everyone from the safety zone."
Zhang Yan paused for a moment.
Nie Qingcheng put down the cup and turned the swivel chair towards him.
"What are your plans for me before the seal is placed on me?"
Zhang Yan looked at her.
This is the last thing he wants to talk about.
Nie Qingcheng continued, "I don't want to be placed in a different location."
She spoke very calmly.
It wasn't a fit of pique, nor was it a tantrum.
"I need to be there."
This is not a discussion.
