"You can try to describe it abstractly, trying not to involve things that you can't say."

Dunn looked at Lily expectantly.

Lily began to feel embarrassed, mainly because she couldn't accurately distinguish what was allowed to be talked about and what was not allowed to be talked about.

But if all were explained in an alternative way, similar to a fable, maybe it would really work?

"Um...well, right here or?" Lily thought that it would be a bit noisy on the third floor, and was not sure whether it was right here or whose room she was going to.

"Just... here... okay." Aiden was closest to the room door, so he walked over and closed the door.

Lily sighed, went to sit by the bed, signaled Aiden and Dunn to find a place to sit, and said:

"You guys wait for me to organize the language."

"Well... you all know those superhero movies from the early 20th century, such as Iron Man, Captain America and so on."

"Uh-huh."

Aiden and Dunn nodded together.

"Okay, you can now understand that there are some superheroes in the world, and they are found in every country. Each of these heroes has its own abilities and characteristics. Miss Liu Shiqin is one of them. Of course, I, and John Too."

"And maybe when you reach the day of your 15-year-old adult ceremony, you will be. At that time, I will tell you more specific things that Miss Shiqin left for me."

"Unlike other countries in the world, the government of our British Empire seems to be deliberately hiding this from the children of our St. Lance Orphanage. According to Miss Liu Shiqin, they sent us "A Detailed Study of the Mist at Two Points Four" , has been modified.”

At this point, Lily didn't obviously feel her intuition that something bad would happen, which made her feel relieved.

"Revised..." Dunn chewed on this statement.

"Miss Shiqin...why...leave?" Aiden glanced at Dunn and asked first.

"I don't know the specific reason, but that's what her ability is." Lily didn't explain the details of Liu Shiqin's ability. She had an intuition that she couldn't explain.

After two seconds of silence, Lily turned and said:

"We need to gather other people in the afternoon to discuss the next search and rescue operation of Team John."

Dunn came back to his senses and asked in surprise:

"So fast? We didn't make any preparations, and we couldn't figure out what those terrifying creatures hiding in the mist were. Moreover, the most important thing is the bell and the time eclipse phenomenon that has been spreading."

"That's why we need to hurry up." Lily did not deny what Dunn said, because these are real problems that lie before everyone in the orphanage.

"Our current situation is different from the past six months. In the past six months, those huge creatures should not have appeared. Otherwise, John's team would have discovered clues. With such a large size, With such a loud roar, there is no way John’s team could not detect it.”

"We have basically deduced that the time eclipse has happened in the past few days. If it is true that the time eclipse will spread and worsen, sooner or later the orphanage will be eroded and destroyed by the time eclipse phenomenon."

"We don't have much time. Either find John or figure out the real cause of the eclipse, and I think the relationship between the two means we basically need to accomplish both things at the same time."

What Lily didn't and couldn't say was that she now had more powerful means, and at the same time she had some clues about the bell.

Lily had already checked the concept of "entropy" given by the random coin on her chest. Although she didn't know much about the generation and annihilation of energy, she guessed that it probably meant probability.

Before Lily came to Liu Shiqin's room, she tried to enlarge the "entropy" that she could eat biscuits of her favorite taste when eating in the cafeteria this morning. She just waited to go to the cafeteria to verify it.

Not to mention the abilities given to her by the "Correction" gloves. The ability to modify basic cognition and established facts is a test of imagination. If used well, it can drastically change the direction of things.

"You convinced me."

After two seconds of silence, Dunn nodded.

Aiden's expression did not change, and after Dunn nodded, he stood up.

"hungry."

After leaving a word, Aiden opened the door and walked to the cafeteria on the second floor.

"...Let's go have breakfast too." Dunn glanced at Aiden speechlessly and then looked at Lily.

"I hope there are my favorite matcha-flavored cookies." Lily responded with a slight smile.

——————————————

A crow crossed the thick fog, flew past the spire of Big Ben where Liu Shiqin once stood, flew past the railway bridge that Lily's team once crossed, and rushed all the way to the highest point in the sky with black and purple lightning. The vortex flew faster and faster, and finally even left a series of phantoms in the sky.

With a popping sound, it plunged straight into the whirlpool, leaving only a few black feathers flying in the air.

Just a few seconds after the feather fell, it started to burn, and finally turned into a wisp of black gas and disappeared into the endless rolling mist.

After eating her favorite matcha-flavored biscuits, Lily just came out of the cafeteria on the second floor with satisfaction. She saw Ander running all the way back here, and immediately frowned and said:

"Ender, don't run on such a smooth wooden floor, you'll break all your teeth!"

But Ender had no intention of stopping. He stopped suddenly in front of Lily, breathed heavily and said:

"Sister... ha... it's not good... Ariel... Ariel, she..."

"What happened to Ariel?" Lily suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Disappeared... Ariel disappeared." Ander's face was full of fear and anxiety.

"Disappeared...disappeared..." Lily didn't say anything more, turned back to the door of the cafeteria, and shouted:

"Dunn, I need your help!"

Dunn, who was carefully handling a glass of hot water, almost burned his nose due to the sound.

But he didn't complain much, he just put down the water glass and got up and ran to Lily.

Seeing Lily and Ender who looked anxious, Dunn asked with a questioning look.

"Ariel has disappeared. Come with me to her room to have a look. You are more observant. See if you can find any clues."

"Did he go to the bathroom or in the basement?"

"I asked Sister Xiu to go in and check the bathroom. I just came up from the basement." Ender said, still breathing a little.

After hearing this, Dunn and Lily looked at each other.

"Let's go to her room and have a look." Dunn followed Lily and Ander to the girls' dormitory on the fourth floor.
