"Have you come into contact with the stone there before?"
Zhang Xiaoman asked.
Wei looked somewhat spacey and after a moment of stunned silence, he finally spoke:
"Um... yes, when I first opened the door, I saw that stone immediately, but I closed the door right away, without taking a closer look..."
Zhang Xiaoman frowned and pondered for a moment before looking at the nearly man-high stone not far away, and said:
"You were indeed cautious enough, but this stone is different from the previous fragments; its Dark Energy Fluctuations are much stronger than those of the small stone. Even though you only came into close contact with it briefly, it was enough to get you contaminated."
Wei fell silent. He was no novice and, although he held reverence for life and death, he had long been mentally prepared.
Now, after the initial panic had passed, he gradually calmed down and knew that he wasn't completely without hope.
