As the comic guy finished speaking, Puppet Master obviously disagreed and was about to retort when the constantly sneaky Ghost Fire whispered from the corner of the wall, "If we follow the first interpretation, the item we're looking for must be distinctly different from other objects in the candy house, but we've been searching for so long and have yet to find it..."
Puppet Master: "So it definitely can't be the first! The only thing that doesn't belong in the candy house is us, ourselves!"
"Not necessarily..." Ghost Fire said weakly, "Could it be possible that the item isn't in the candy house yet?"
If it's an item that doesn't belong in the candy house, then it must be brought in from outside. But if it hasn't been brought in yet? Is that why they've been unable to find it?
The comic guy furrowed his brow deeply and, after a moment, turned his head to look at Bai Youwei beside him:
"Weren't you quite smart before? Come over and give us some ideas."
