Chapter 672: 458
Zachary’s plans, ultimately, were not discussed extensively with Dong Tianyu; however, Dong Tianyu also did not want to meddle too much with those matters. As long as he could ensure the safety of his parents here, it did not greatly concern him who would ultimately be in charge of the ship.
The reason Dong Tianyu thought this way was because, even if Ye Liuyun’s plans did not succeed and ultimately ended in failure, it would merely result in a loss of power. After all, as long as Master Ye was there, the issue would not escalate.
After resting in his room for one night, Dong Tianyu first visited his parents to see if they needed anything. Upon learning they were currently lacking nothing, Dong Tianyu prepared to leave directly.
But as Dong Tianyu was about to bid farewell to Ye Liuyun and leave, he suddenly remembered the mirror zone invisible to the naked eye that he had encountered when he went to pick up someone from his old home. He immediately found Ye Liuyun and told him about the incident.
After hearing Dong Tianyu’s personal experience, Ye Liuyun’s face immediately showed a shocked expression. He quickly asked Dong Tianyu if it was true. Upon receiving a positive response, Ye Liuyun’s face showed a very conflicted look.
It didn’t take long for Ye Liuyun to directly say to Dong Tianyu, "The matter you’re talking about is quite important. I can’t make a decision on my own right now, so wait a moment, I’ll call a meeting with the others."
Regarding Ye Liuyun’s proposal, Dong Tianyu did not refuse. Having decided to leave his parents on the ship, he would not selfishly ignore matters related to the entire ship’s safety.
Soon, everyone with the credentials to participate gathered in the Conference Room. Ye Liuyun then briefly recounted Dong Tianyu’s experience, emphasizing the strange place Dong Tianyu had encountered while picking up people.
Having listened to Ye Liuyun’s account, everyone was initially stunned and then silently exchanged glances.
In their hearts, they had two thoughts about the dangers Ye Liuyun mentioned. The first was that Ye Liuyun was telling the truth, and Dong Tianyu had indeed experienced that area when picking up people.
According to Ye Liuyun’s earlier description, the small transport ship Dong Tianyu piloted had a small enough size to freely shuttle through the gaps between the phantom mirrors.
However, the ship they were on now was quite large. If they truly ventured into that bizarre zone, they would not be able to leave without abandoning the large ship and escaping using the lifeboats.
But abandoning the large ship would have a substantial impact on their future lives. If they chose not to abandon it, they would be trapped in that area and perish.
Of course, the above scenario is based on the premise that Ye Liuyun’s recently recounted experiences are all true events that occurred when picking up people.
But what if Ye Liuyun mentioned these things only to instill fear, as an indirect way to persuade them to give up on picking up more people from their old home?
After all, both Ye Liuyun’s family and Dong Tianyu’s family had already been brought over by small transport ships, and without any concerns left behind, coupled with yesterday’s event where Fabian attempted to seize power.
So, compared to the first speculation, they were more inclined to believe that Ye Liuyun said this as an excuse for not wanting to pick up more people from their old home.
Fabian, who had already offended Ye Liuyun, directly asked Dong Tianyu the core question, "You said those phantom mirrors cannot be observed with the naked eye, so how did you discover that and what method did you use to escape from there?"
In response to Fabian’s inquiry and because it involved the safety of his parents, Dong Tianyu did not intend to conceal the truth. He honestly said, "Actually, if you find an Awakener with a special Pupil Skill, you should be able to observe the phantom mirrors in that area.
As for how to leave. I have already told Ye Liuyun about this, and what Ye Liuyun has just related is also very clear. The mirrors are not closely connected; there are gaps between them. These gaps are quite substantial for individuals, but indeed small for the ship we’re on, not large enough to allow the entire ship to pass through."
Hearing Dong Tianyu’s answer, Robinson William suddenly asked, "If only a part of this ship makes contact with one of those phantom mirrors, what change would occur to the ship’s body?"
Dong Tianyu did not hesitate to answer Robinson William’s question, "As soon as it makes contact with a mirror, the entire ship would be transported to another area."
At that moment, another passenger who Dong Tianyu had brought back interrupted, "What if the ship body touches two mirrors at the same time?"
With regard to this question, Dong Tianyu casually answered, "I’m not sure about that. Why don’t you go in and try if you have the chance?"
Upon hearing Dong Tianyu’s sarcastic response, the other person was taken aback, not expecting such a retort from Dong Tianyu, and thus fell silent.
Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat awkward, Master Ye intervened to maке peace, "Zachary, don’t be angry. Don’t overthink it. I know Xiaolu. He’s blunt, says whatever comes to his mind without thinking, and didn’t mean anything else by it."
Seeing Master Ye trying to smooth things over, Dong Tianyu waved his hand to show he didn’t mind what was said, and then Ye Liuyun spoke up, "We definitely have to go back, but we cannot ignore the caution warranted by Dong Tianyu’s personal experience while picking up people."
