"We began inspecting this Rune Array as soon as we received the notice from the Council," Lin Qiaoya explained, gesturing. "You may begin as well."
Lisi patted Alicia's shoulder. "Let's begin."
"Mm."
Alicia carefully stepped onto the high platform, inching her way toward the core of the Array. She held an oversized magnifying glass, using it to inspect the runes.
Meanwhile, Lisi led Wei'en and the others to look around. They began questioning the scholars at work, hoping to glean some useful information from them.
"Professor Lin Qiaoya, has anything unusual happened here recently?" Seeing the others get to work, Yegor didn't remain idle and asked casually.
"What are you referring to?"
"For instance, has anyone been contaminated? Have any scholars who've worked here for a long time suddenly vanished, or undergone a major change in personality? Or have any newcomers just joined?"
Lin Qiaoya glared at him. "Are you implying that you suspect one of us?"
"Of course... not,"
