"Wha... What?!" Ye Jiu stared blankly at his sister, "You... can you say that again?"
"It would be best if you stay calm now and don't make any moves that might arouse suspicion," Ye Xuan said seriously. "Based on the current evidence, you're unlikely to be subject to 'harmless disposal'... but your personal freedom will certainly be restricted, and 'Carnage' will be temporarily sealed. Until we figure out exactly what's going on or ensure this strange artifact can be safely used, only then..."
"Find a new candidate for this thing?" Sun Hang asked.
"It's difficult." Ye Xuan shook her head. "For the candidates of strange artifacts, seamless transitions are rare. To ensure stable synchronization rate, while a strange artifact has an official candidate, it won't match with other reserve candidates. So between each candidate of a strange artifact, there will be a gap that could be as short as a few months or as long as several decades."
