After leaving the hospital, Kairuoka and Fairleya silently walked along the small path outside the hospital.
Finally, Kairuot spoke first: "Feilbolai's behavior is strange; it must be related to the recent haunting incidents at school."
Fairleya nodded in agreement and said, "I think so too. The timing of the hauntings coincides with his hospitalization, so he must be involved... I'm wondering what he was doing sneaking around the school in the middle of the night. Following us to Golden Tower certainly doesn't seem like something a patient would do... He must have some hidden agenda, and we need to be cautious of this guy from now on."
Kairuot pondered for a moment and added, "I have a feeling that Feilbolai is searching for something; otherwise, he wouldn't be jumping around the school during his recovery. I heard from the security guard that the area near Golden Tower is where the hauntings are most intense. Maybe what he's looking for is indeed related to Golden Tower."
Fairleya then suggested, "Let's go to Godmother's place and hear her opinion."
Kairuot nodded in agreement, and the two headed toward Fair Connie's dormitory.

When Fair Connie opened the door and saw the two of them, she asked with concern, "You two rushed over to find me. Have you had lunch yet?"
"Not yet," they both replied almost simultaneously.
"I knew it— the school's management system reported that you two hadn't eaten lunch, so I guessed you would come here. I've already prepared your lunch," Fair Connie said, pointing to the lavish meal set up on the dining table. "I was just waiting for you to arrive so we could eat."
"Thank you, Fei Er Connie, Godmother!" Fairleya said shyly. "Godmother, you're so thoughtful!"
-
The three quickly sat down at the dining table and began to eat while chatting.
Fair Connie asked, "You must have come to me with questions. What happened?"
Fairleya said, "Godmother guessed correctly, we indeed have something to discuss with you—it's about Feilbolai."
"Feilbolai? Let me think—could it be about the recent ghost sightings at the school at night?"
"Yes! How did Godmother know?" Fei Leiya asked in surprise.
"In fact, I discovered through the school's surveillance analysis that it was him," Fair Connie replied with a slight smile.
"Then why not stop him?"
"We are observing him to see what he intends to do."
At this point, Kairuot interjected, "I suspect his purpose is related to the Golden Tower."
"Golden Tower?" Fair Connie murmured.
"This morning, he followed me and Fei Leiya all the way, trying to enter the Golden Tower on the mountain. As for his intentions, it's still unclear," Kairuot said.
Fair Connie thought for a moment and said, "Since he wants to track you, from now on you should avoid taking that path up the mountain and go directly through the secret passage. That way, he won't be able to follow you."
"Secret passage?" the two asked almost simultaneously.
"Yes, the secret passage. The secret passage from the school to the Golden Tower is hidden in a room behind mine. From now on, you can enter and exit from there," said Fair Connie.
Fairleya asked in surprise, "There’s such a shortcut? This is the first time I’ve heard of it..."
Fair Connie replied seriously, "The Golden Tower has a deep connection with me, so I spent a long time building this shortcut. It seems that it can be frequently used by you in the future, making my earlier efforts worthwhile."
As she spoke, Fair Connie pointed to a spot on the wall, and a password keypad appeared on the wall displayed by a Light Screen. She quickly entered a series of numbers, and a hidden cabinet in the wall opened. She walked over to the cabinet and took out two Golden Fingers, handing them to the two.
She told them, "This Golden Finger is the key to open all the doors of the secret passage. As long as you stand in the area to open the door and point the Golden Finger at a hidden spot in the room, the door will open automatically."
After lunch, they quickly entered the secret passage under Fair Connie's guidance. At the identity registration point of the passage, Kairuot and Fairleya had their identities recorded. Once their identities were confirmed, they could freely open any door in the passage using their Golden Fingers as long as they entered the identification area.
The passage was not long, but there were many doors blocking their way. If it weren't for Fair Connie's reminders, they would have been completely lost. They reached the end of the passage, which was at the foot of the mountain as indicated by the text in the passage.
Fair Connie reminded them, "Now that you’ve reached here, you should switch to another Golden Finger. This is the door to the Golden Tower."
Kairuot used another Golden Finger to open the large door leading to the Golden Tower. Not far from the door was a Light-Speed Elevator leading up to the Golden Tower. They took the Light-Speed Elevator and quickly arrived at the top of the Golden Tower.
This secret passage was indeed much faster than walking up from the foot of the mountain. For some time after that, Kairuot and Fairleya reported daily to Fei Er Connie's residence and took the shortcut to the Golden Tower, focusing on continuing their training.
