What was that saying again, when the rooster crows and the lights go out, don't touch the gold?
It seems quite apt to describe the current situation.
Fu Qian wasn't in a rush to relight the lantern; he was silently recalling some life maxims.
It sounded ominous, that crying was wickedly eerie yet somewhat innocent, like the final dirge of this desolate place.
Additionally, Fu Qian was well aware that the lantern wasn't extinguished by an eerie wind, but was frozen until suffocated.
In fairness, this task now seemed rather straightforward.
The Gate of Freedom could be found casually, stepping out would lead into the darkest night, and then the containment condition is to end it.
Aside from the suspicion surrounding the trigger conditions mentioned earlier, it was brutally simple.
So much so that it seemed next to simply require every means to crush this "real Unseen Hillock."
Even for the infamous Abandonment King, such tasks are his forte.
