Perhaps out of politeness, generosity, or simply to obtain the information he desired, the middle-aged man added after speaking.
"I'll treat you to milk tea if you tell me about Yelai. I just heard you say he is the 'Broken Key'?"
The young man was taken aback and couldn't help but scrutinize the middle-aged man. His attire was plain, dressed in casual clothes typical for someone in their fifties. His face didn’t appear particularly old, but his black hair was mixed with many strands of white, giving him a somewhat aged look that made it hard to determine his exact age.
However, these details didn’t attract the young people’s attention as much as the cane he leaned on. It seemed that the middle-aged man had a leg ailment.
"You don’t know Yelai?" the young man asked. "You’re not from our Safe Zone, are you?"
The limping middle-aged man smiled and nodded. "Yes, I’m from another Safe Zone. I came here to take care of some matters and heard you talking about the 'Broken Key' Sequencer, so I was curious and wanted to ask."
"I thought so! How could someone from our Safe Zone not know about Yelai?"
"But judging by your reaction just now," he chuckled, "you were surprised too, right? The 'Broken Key' Sequencer."
"Absolutely! I was stunned. Isn’t the 'Broken Key' widely recognized as a difficult Sequencer?"
He was quite talkative; once the topic was opened up, he pulled over a chair and sat down.
"Even if he is a Sequencer, he wouldn’t be too formidable because the cost is enormous. This is the first time I've heard of a 'Broken Key' Rank 5 Sequencer. And from what you just said, is Yelai really that famous? Is there anyone in Safe Zone who doesn’t know Yelai?"
The middle-aged man replied, "What you said is true. Let me put it this way: Yelai is quite famous in our Safe Zone, mainly because..."
As the conversation flowed, the middle-aged man treated them, and the young people shared everything they knew without reservation. They revealed all sorts of details about Yelai, including that he was Luo Zhenxue’s boyfriend and stories from three years ago.
How interesting.
The middle-aged man stroked his chin, his eyes lighting up with interest.
You just said that Yelai has been confirmed as Rank Five's Sequencer. How was that proven?
There's a video to prove it, and Captain Wang has also confirmed it.
A video? Do you have it? Let me see.
Yes, I posted it on my social media. Just a moment, I'll find it for you.
The young man sitting next to him opened his phone and navigated to his social media feed.
The middle-aged man took the phone and opened the video, his eyes widening even more with excitement.
An Incorporeal type Anomalous Entity, Gaze? He actually dealt with this kind of Anomalous Entity?
Oh? Uncle, do you know about this Anomalous Entity?
I know a little bit.
Then tell us about it! We have no idea what this Anomalous Entity is.
The middle-aged man smiled and patiently began to explain the details about Gaze.
His explanation was thorough, almost like a lecture. The young man felt as if he were in a classroom listening to a teacher.
Uncle, you’re not a Sequencer, are you? The young man couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, How do you know so much about Anomalous Entities?
His explanation of Gaze was textbook-like in detail, filled with numerous technical terms that left the young listeners bewildered.
Only someone who has dealt with Anomalous Entities could understand them so well.
Feeling their eager gazes upon him, the middle-aged man chuckled and shook his head.
I’m not a Sequencer; I’m just an ordinary person.
Cough, well, okay then.
The young man awkwardly coughed, glancing at the middle-aged man's leg and feeling that his question had been somewhat foolish.
If the uncle were a Sequencer, how could he possibly have a limp?
To know that a Sequencer possesses the ability to heal through Sequence, as long as it’s not a severed limb, they can basically heal almost anything. If the uncle is a Sequencer, how could he not seek someone to heal his leg? After all, a Sequencer has to deal with Anomalous Entities, and being lame could have a fatal impact in battle.
By the way, the Captain Luo Zhenxue you mentioned is said to be quite formidable. Three years ago, she was already ranked Rank Four and was recruited by one of the top Safe Zones.
After a pause, the middle-aged man tentatively asked, "The Luo Zhenxue you’re talking about wouldn’t happen to be the Madwoman Luo Zhenxue from the Numbered Protection Zone, would she?"
"Madwoman? What’s that about?" The young man was taken aback for a moment but nodded in agreement. "As you said, the Luo Zhenxue from the Numbered Protection Zone is indeed impressive. If she’s a celebrity there, then she must be the Captain Luo Zhenxue I’m referring to."
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but look surprised. So it turns out that the rumors about Luo Zhenxue being infatuated were true; her affection was for this Yelai.
While he was lost in thought, the young man shifted his chair closer and grinned at the uncle. "Uncle, are you from the Numbered Protection Zone?"
