00:02I'm out and out of time
00:33This is the headache Ruanbei mentioned
00:36It's just a different flavor
00:50I'm not one of Ruanbei's recognized works
00:54Too much negative energy
00:56I don't like negative energy
01:05Ruanbei!
01:13Why?
01:15Why am I a failure?
01:26What's that voice?
01:30Uh, follow me
01:34It'll be okay
01:35I need to find a place for this little one
01:38That sound seems to be from that locked room
01:41How do I get in?
01:42How do I get in?
01:58How do I get out?
01:59How do I get in?
02:11Brainshot!
02:52I never imagined there'd be so many of them.
03:01You weren't here too?
03:04Seems like this is the other end of the...
03:07The final days that member number 23, Echa, spent in the Mechanical City
03:13showed me that even the longest of lives, such as hers, have a limit.
03:19I'm now certain that the outcome of this cultivation is...
03:24Failure.
03:26Life can exist in thousands of different forms,
03:29which means the form itself has no purpose.
03:32These life forms are very advanced in their own concepts,
03:35and can even trigger chain reactions, such as synesthesia.
03:40But...
03:40That is not what I desire.
03:43I'm starting to feel lost.
03:46Perhaps the question, what is the essence of life?
03:49Never had an answer.
03:53Number one, Enda.
03:56Have you ever felt this loss?
03:59Or resigned?
04:14Are you telling me to keep going?
04:20Life is countless and varied in form.
04:22I firmly believe in that.
04:23It's beautiful.
04:24It's like a myriad of flowers, and I want to pluck the one that never wilts.
04:27The patterns of all things always have complicated and enchanting exteriors,
04:31while their inner essences remain simple and plain.
04:34If we were to trace things back to their roots,
04:36just one equation would be enough to solve the confusion of all life.
04:40Ever since I was a child,
04:42I've always delighted in observing aspects of microscopic creatures,
04:46such as the speed with which slime molds devour objects.
04:49I have also gazed far and wide across the macroscopic world,
04:53investigating the progress of the universe up to this day.
04:57It was all very simple.
05:01I wish to discover the true essence of life,
05:04something that all individuals possess unknowingly,
05:07whether it is the materialism of their existence,
05:09or an unknown entity beyond corporeal realms.
05:14To avoid blind faith in science,
05:16I cautiously raised a query.
05:19Would Rame be able to peel away external influences?
05:23Just like pinpointing a coordinate,
05:26would she be able to uncover life's most primordial and beautiful form of existence?
05:31I thought of one life worm that would truly lie beyond my reach,
05:35and that is...
05:37Meow.
05:43Meow.
05:45Meow.
05:45I'm going forward.
06:34Sounds fitting.
06:38Stay here for a bit.
06:39Stay here for a bit.
06:43Did something just open?
07:00Hidden room, Buzz, only Madame Ron May has permissions.
07:06Please submit your ID, Buzz.
07:08Permissions granted, Buzz.
07:11Select from the below services.
07:131.
07:13Check historical incubation records.
07:162.
07:16Inorganic lifeform companionship chat service.
07:20Is this?
07:22I thought of one lifeform that would truly lie beyond my reach.
07:25And that is an emanator.
07:57I cannot comprehend what an emanator is.
08:28I would be...
08:28Hazy, Ron.
08:28Fitting assistant.
08:30Permission granted, Buzz.
08:31Select from the below services.
08:331.
08:34Check visitor records.
08:362.
08:36Open incubator entrance.
08:42Permission granted, Buzz.
08:44That sounds coming from above.
09:04Is that all?
09:12Triple Magazine is now.
09:28Slings for it.
09:32Another blood debt repaid.
10:17Ah, there's someone in the distance.
10:25Hmm.
10:28Here, a genius move.
10:31And how will you counter it?
10:34Only an idiot would ask such a question.
10:37Just move this here.
10:40Hmm.
10:49You look distressed.
10:53Something the matter?
10:56Hmm.
10:57If that's the case, you better get thinking.
11:03Are you waiting for a sign?
11:05Time is ticking.
11:07Descend via the elevator.
11:09What you seek is there.
11:13Have you considered whether the answer to your question will be of any relevance to our current predicament?
11:20If a question is of no help, then don't ask it.
11:25Time is clearly precious to the both of us.
11:27Never mind.
11:29Allow me to clarify something.
11:31I know exactly who you are.
11:34And I'm aware you are in Ron May's employ.
11:37This was not my intended destination.
11:39I just happened to find my way here during my visit and saw what she was up to.
11:44My goals are roughly aligned with yours.
11:48Since you're here, I won't intercede.
11:51But should you fail, I will be forced to prevent some avoidable misfortunes.
11:57That's all you need to know.
11:59Just two paragraphs.
12:02Very effective communication.
12:07I can't stand discourtesy.
12:09Even when it comes from myself.
12:12The real Ron May's creation is hidden in the giant incubator below us.
12:17Go.
12:18Take the elevator and bear witness to this genius masterpiece.
12:23Peace.
