Arthur listened to Master Yuan Yi's words, and a huge wave rose in his heart. Master Yuan Yi's eyes were solemn, as if he could see through the cracks of time and glimpse all the hidden secrets of Lavender Town. He slowly said, "The secrets hidden in this town are far more numerous than you can imagine. The mayor, Matsumoto, and even every resident, all have some secrets, more or less. And those missing persons cases are not just caused by psychological factors, as some people say. There are more complex, even beyond ordinary understanding, factors at work."
Arthur was shocked. This was the first time he had heard such straightforward remarks from a resident of Lavender Town. The mention of the mayor and Matsumoto possibly hiding secrets was undoubtedly a major revelation for him. He couldn't help but reflect on whether his investigation had truly touched the core secrets of Lavender Town.
Arthur's face showed a hint of determination, "So, Master, who is the 'big hand' behind this? What is their purpose? And how are the missing people connected to all of this?" His voice carried an unmistakable sense of urgency and a desire to know the truth.
Arthur's brows furrowed, his doubts and unease growing. Master Yuan Yi's expression became even more serious, his gaze deep and filled with a warning. He spoke in a low voice, "This matter cannot be explained directly here. From the moment we started our conversation, he has been listening." With that, Master Yuan Yi shook his head, his expression seemingly revealing a hint of helplessness.
Arthur's heart was filled with an inexplicable fear. "What do you mean? What does it mean that 'he' has been listening the whole time? Who is he?" Arthur's voice was filled with urgency and confusion, his gaze fixed on Master Yuan Yi, hoping to find a clue in his response.
Master Yuan Yi looked deeply into Arthur's eyes, his expression seemingly filled with wordless sadness and vigilance. "I cannot tell you directly, because you, we, have already been targeted by him. This is not a simple case, nor is it an ordinary crime. Every corner here, every stone, and even every layer of this tower, may be hiding his eyes and ears. To put it more plainly, we are currently being monitored by some kind of power."
Arthur's heart was filled with extreme unease after hearing this. The situation was beyond his imagination, leaving him feeling lost and realizing that the complexity of the case far exceeded his original expectations. He understood that unraveling the secrets of Lavender Town might be much more difficult than he had imagined.
Arthur urgently stood up, but sitting cross-legged for a long time had caused his legs to go numb. Standing up suddenly only brought extreme discomfort. His legs had become numb and no longer felt like his own. He tried to move his feet, but only felt a tingling and weakness in his legs. His knees seemed to have lost their ability to support him, and his legs felt like lifeless sticks, unable to obey his will.
This sudden numbness echoed the confusion in his heart. His mind was filled with the information just revealed by Master Yuan Yi, which shocked and unsettled him. His thoughts swirled in his mind, searching for answers. However, when he tried to stand up, his mental pressure and physical discomfort reached a peak. His breathing was rapid, each inhale feeling like a struggle against an invisible force.
Arthur struggled to shake his legs, trying to awaken the paralyzed sensation. His legs felt like they were pierced by countless needles, and every attempt to move brought tearing pain. His face contorted in agony, as anxiety and physical discomfort intertwined into a chaotic scene.
Finally, after a difficult struggle, Arthur lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. His fall was accompanied by heavy breathing and a rapid heartbeat, and he felt a wave of dizziness as the world spun before his eyes. As he lay on the ground, he felt not only fear but also a deep sense of powerlessness.
Master Yuan Yi watched Arthur's plight with no emotional fluctuation on his face, speaking calmly and seriously: "Arthur, this is not something you can rush. His influence permeates the entire Lavender Town, deeply rooted and not something you can solve in a short time. You need to observe and understand more. Every person here could be a key and could be hiding the secrets you are looking for."
Arthur struggled to stand up, but the numbness in his body made his movements clumsy. His mind was filled with confusion and disbelief, as the complexity of the situation far exceeded his imagination. He struggled in pain on the ground, his face reflecting the struggle and distrust. Although the numbness in his legs persisted, his mind was more focused on what Master Yuan Yi had just said. He looked up, staring firmly at Master Yuan Yi, his eyes flashing with anger and suspicion.
"You've said so much, only to tell me that no one in this town can be trusted, that there are greater forces manipulating everything behind the scenes, but you haven't provided any evidence at all," Arthur's voice was full of anger and challenge. "How am I supposed to believe you? All you've given me are some vague words and riddles."
His eyes revealed an urgent desire, a desire to find the truth about the missing persons, a desire to uncover the secrets behind Lavender Town. But at the same time, his heart was filled with doubt and unease. He didn't know how to handle the vague information provided by Master Yuan Yi.
"If you really know something, please tell me the specific facts. I need real clues to solve this case, not just speculation," Arthur's voice carried a sense of helplessness and expectation. He hoped to obtain some concrete and useful information from Master Yuan Yi.
He continued to stare at Master Yuan Yi, waiting for his response, while also calculating his next move in his mind, thinking about how to investigate this confusing disappearance case more effectively.
