The scene ended.
The light screen vanished.
The fanaticism on the Doctor's face slowly receded, and he reverted to his gentle, scholarly appearance.
He looked at Lin Ye and held out the egg-sized Source Crystal in his palm, presenting it to him.
"Now."

"...will become after swallowing this! What a stunning and magnificent sight it will be!"
The moment the Doctor produced the Source Crystal, a look of fear—the kind any normal person would have—appeared on Lin Ye's face.
He shot up from the metal chair and turned to flee the platform that was suffocating him.
"No!"
However, the next moment, a slender figure in white appeared before him like a ghost, blocking his path.
It was the woman.
Lin Ye's vision blurred, and a hand in a thick protective glove was already clamped around his neck.
