As soon as Xu Limin finished speaking, Yelai directly interjected.
"Sure."
"Huh?"
"???"
Yelai's response came without a hint of hesitation, catching Xu Limin and the others off guard.
"Is it really that easy to agree?"
At that moment, Yelai looked at Xu Limin.
"Professor Xu, what guarantee do I have that once I say yes, you will give me the Silver Pocket Watch? While my becoming a Sequencer isn't anything extraordinary, I don't want to be taken advantage of."
Xu Limin, caught off guard by Yelai's question, quickly responded.
"Just because I'm Xu Limin. When I speak, my word is law. If you don’t believe me, we can draw up a written agreement, or you can record a video on your phone. I’ll repeat my promise so you can capture it."
Soon enough, Yelai recorded Xu Limin's promise on video.
"You can save the video and send it to anyone you trust. If I fail to keep my promise, you can have them share it with anyone."
"Though I might sound a bit boastful, my reputation is indeed significant and well-known globally. If I breach our agreement, you can use this video to find those who hold a grudge against me; they would certainly be able to damage my reputation."
As he spoke, Xu Limin took a bold step forward.
He handed the Silver Pocket Watch to Yelai.
"If you still don’t trust me, take this Silver Pocket Watch for now. Consider it a prepayment for the goods. How does that sound?"
"Professor Xu, given what you've said, I naturally trust your character. Alright then, let me share my experience."
Yelai examined the Silver Pocket Watch in his hand and confirmed it was indeed a Secret Artifact before slipping it into his pocket.
"My experience of becoming a Sequencer was simply encountering an Entity after my resurrection. Then I took out the Sequence Key to establish a connection, and it agreed."
"Is it really that simple?" Xu Limin was astonished.
"Otherwise? Isn't establishing a connection with Entity just like this? Just to be clear, Xu Professor, you can't go back on your promise."
"Don't worry, I won't go back on it."
Xu Limin pondered for a moment before continuing to ask, "Where did you establish the connection?"
"Xu Professor is joking. Where else could I have established it? I was resurrected by 【Cthulhu】, so the only place I could connect with Entity is in the world of Cthulhu Town."
Xu Limin was taken aback and chose not to press further, glancing at the bodyguard beside him. He couldn't be sure if Yelai was lying, but the bodyguard could confirm it. His understanding of micro-expressions allowed him to discern whether someone was being dishonest. As for whether Yelai could control his micro-expressions, the likelihood seemed low.
On his way to find Yelai, he had asked several passersby about him and gathered quite a bit of information, including details about Yelai's work during the peaceful era before Sequence.
Then, noticing that Xu Limin was looking at him, the bodyguard leaned in and whispered, "He didn't lie."
"Are you sure?" Xu Limin asked.
"I can basically confirm it. I don't see any of the typical signs or micro-expressions of someone who is lying."
Xu Limin frowned slightly. In his understanding, Yelai becoming a Sequencer should be quite special; after all, it was very difficult for people from 【White Key】 to establish connections with Entity. In the eyes of Entity, connecting with someone from 【White Key】 was akin to asking someone to eat herring from a can.
Thus, Yelai must have used some special method to establish that connection. However, according to Yelai's account, it was nothing out of the ordinary. His way of becoming a Sequencer was just like all other Sequencers: submitting a 【Sequence Key】 to invite Entity for a connection.
