Hao Qi nodded. After a moment of thought, he said, "In other words, even if that threat truly comes from within this ruin, as long as we can escape from it, there is a good chance we can evade the danger?"
Yun Qingqing hesitated at this, looking troubled as she replied, "That's how it is in theory, but what I'm afraid of is... what if the thing inside this ruin isn't a Ranked Creature or something similar, but an anomalous containment item? What would we do then? Some containment items are actually harmless or even beneficial, but others completely defy logic—chaotic, distorted, utterly incomprehensible... If we run into one of those, we're very likely to..."
Hao Qi simply laughed, patting Yun Qingqing on the shoulder as he said, "Why are you overthinking things? This threat is already upon us and about to strike. We face the exact same probability of death whether we stay or run. So instead of agonizing over every little detail and possibility, we're better off choosing a path and taking action while we still can. If we die in the end, at least we gave it our all, rather than just sitting here waiting to die... We're going into this ruin! If I really have to die, I'd rather perish after seeing this magnificent ruin than croak out in the wilderness of the Three Underground Worlds!"
