At that moment, Yelai's voice continued to resonate.
It seemed I had misunderstood; I thought that what Professor Xu was referring to regarding the process of establishing a connection with the Anomalous Entity did not include revealing the Anomalous Entity or the Sequence. After all, I believed Professor Xu knew that Sequencers would not easily disclose their own Sequence to others.
He pulled out his Silver Pocket Watch.
As for this transaction, since I failed to fulfill my part, I will return the Silver Pocket Watch to you. Just like Xu Limin approached Yelai with a trial-and-error attitude, Yelai also held a similar mindset. He considered that answering questions about his connection with the Anomalous Entity was inconsequential; what if Xu Limin did not inquire about the Anomalous Entity or the Sequence? After all, that would be against the rules. At that point, he could acquire a Secret Artifact for free.
This deal was quite advantageous.
"Mr. Ye Lai, if you don't return this Silver Pocket Watch to me, I must admit that my previous question indeed crossed a line; this is not part of our transaction, and you should fulfill your obligation to answer my question," Xu Limin said, extending his hand to block Yelai's palm with a smile.
"You've already answered in enough detail; the transaction is complete, and this Silver Pocket Watch is yours now."
"Oh? Are you sure? Just so we're clear, I won't hold back," Yelai replied.
"This is a Secret Artifact; there's no need for me to show any magnanimity here."
"Of course I'm sure. The Silver Pocket Watch now belongs to Mr. Ye Lai. If you don't believe me, we can record it again—how about that?"
"Let's skip that; I trust Professor Xu's character," Yelai said, feeling pleased with himself and unable to resist showing off.
"I wonder if Professor Xu has anything else he needs my help with? As long as it doesn't threaten my personal privacy or safety, I'll share everything I know."
"Haha, not at the moment," Xu Limin chuckled lightly as he removed his glasses. "However, I'm still quite curious about how Mr. Ye Lai became a Sequencer. You know I'm researching Sequence-related matters; I understand that establishing a connection with the White Key is quite difficult."
"I believe that Mr. Ye Lai becoming a Sequencer and holding a decent Rank is not just luck; there must be some factors at play that led to this. Perhaps Mr. Ye Lai inadvertently triggered these factors without you noticing," Xu Limin said, pausing for a moment before continuing with a smile.
"But don't worry, when I say 'research,' I mean collaboration, and I will provide compensation. Besides, the most I would do is draw some blood or take a bit of your tissue; I won't slice you up, so your personal safety is not at risk," Professor Xu joked.
Upon hearing that there would be compensation for the collaboration, Ye Lai immediately flattered him. "You have dedicated so much effort to unraveling the mysteries of Sequence and contributing significantly to humanity's fight against Anomalous Entities. As long as it doesn't severely endanger my life, I would definitely be willing to cooperate."
"Hahaha, then I look forward to working with you. I think it won't be long before I come to Mr. Ye Lai for collaboration," Xu Limin said, not forgetting the purpose of his visit. Since he hadn't obtained the answers he wanted yet, he planned to complete his current objective first and use this time to apply for some manpower and resources from above to prepare for research on Ye Lai becoming a Sequencer.
"Absolutely, I'll be waiting for your collaboration, Professor Xu. Just thinking about it is quite exciting—being able to work with someone as renowned as you!" Ye Lai replied enthusiastically.
"Not at all; it's my honor. Mr. Ye Lai, your achievements are remarkable! If word gets out, it will shock the entire world!" Xu Limin responded.
The two exchanged pleasantries and continued their conversation until they exchanged contact information. After concluding his discussion with Xu Limin, Ye Lai took his Husky named Gaze to buy some green peppers.
"Let's go catch the unique Anomalous Entity known as the Ripper in the Numbered Protection Zone," Xu Limin said decisively as he hurried toward the entrance of the Safe Zone.
The two bodyguards, Gaze and another, exchanged glances and quickly followed suit.
On the way, Bodyguard Zheng pondered for a moment before speaking up. "Professor Xu, was it really wise to make a deal with Ye Lai today? The Silver Pocket Watch was specifically sent to protect you."
The Silver Pocket Watch played a crucial role in safeguarding someone as important as Xu Limin. He wanted to suggest that they shouldn't replace this Secret Artifact with the compensation from the transaction with Ye Lai.
However, he didn't wait for him to speak. Xu Limin shot a sideways glance. The Secret Artifact was important, but compared to Yelai's worth, it was nothing. Not to mention the Silver Pocket Watch; as long as he could uncover the reason behind Yelai becoming a Sequencer, it would be worth giving Yelai all the other Secret Artifacts in the vault.
His gaze burned with intensity, showing no signs of slowing down due to this transaction. On the contrary, after this encounter with Yelai, he was even more convinced that there was a secret within Yelai that was key to his becoming a Sequencer.
Because no one understood the Sequence Key better than he did! Because the current human knowledge regarding the Sequence Key was all derived from his research. He was utterly certain that while the White Sequence Key had the potential to become a Sequencer, it could not become a high-rank Sequencer!
He couldn't help but speak slowly and deliberately. Yelai was currently the closest to being the key that could allow all of humanity to become Sequencers. As long as he could obtain that secret, he would pay any price, even if it cost him his life!
