Siwei Jie nodded, then turned to look at me before asking: “You mean… if we can also replicate the same display screen, it would greatly reduce Hero’s workload.”

“Yes.” Guyu Gege nodded. “Although the idea is good, I visited many people in ‘Dao City,’ but no one knew the operational principle of that display screen. Moreover, in their memories, it seems the display screen has been standing there since very early times.”

“A display screen that can hear superpowers on other people…” Siwei Jie narrowed her eyes and thought carefully for a good while before saying, “I feel this thing sounds easy to talk about… but it would be so difficult to actually implement… How does it capture sound? After capturing it, how does it display it? Is it powered by electricity?”

“This…” Guyu Gege thought for a moment and said, “This really doesn’t seem like something caused by ‘Fragrance.’ Could it be some kind of ‘technology’?”

“Technology…?” Siwei Jie was stunned for a moment. “Guyu, you just said… above that display screen, a huge bronze bell is suspended, right?”

“Yes.”

“Just how big is the display screen, and how big is the bell?”

“The display screen’s size is like one side of a giant shipping container. It’s fixed upright by two pillars, one on the left and one on the right. Above those pillars hangs a giant bell, and the bell’s size is about the same as those in temples.”

“What…?” Siwei Jie found it somewhat difficult to understand. “Guyu, according to what you’re saying, this thing doesn’t seem like it was built with technology… It’s somewhat… somewhat…”

“Crude.” Guyu Gege nodded. “Yes, it’s very crude.”

“Moreover, if it were truly made with ‘technology,’ theoretically they shouldn’t use something as ancient as a ‘bronze bell’… People who can manufacture display screens should certainly be able to manufacture other amplification devices, right? No matter how you think about it, using a ‘bronze bell’ to warn others isn’t the best method…”

“That’s why I’m so curious about its principle…”

After speaking, Guyu Gege raised his hands—one hand below to simulate the display screen, the other hand above to simulate the giant bell. The two hands were separated by some distance without any contact.

“Logically speaking, such a huge bronze bell couldn’t possibly be driven by electricity. It requires external force to strike it. But why would it link with the display screen?”

Only then did I realize that the real problem wasn’t that the display screen could display ‘Fragrances,’ but that these two completely unrelated things moved together.

“You make a good point.” Guyu Gege also looked serious. “I should have stayed a few more days until I met their leader Wen Qiaoyun. She would definitely be able to tell me what the principle of that bell is.”

Siwei Jie nodded: “But we can also try as much as possible. If we can truly build such a device… Hero will be completely liberated. Even if we can’t make something as specific as a display screen, it would be fine even if we could just create a ‘bell’ that can warn everyone.”

“Yes.” Guyu Gege also agreed. “Siwei, starting tomorrow let’s focus on screening the ‘Fragrances’ on everyone in the family to see if anyone can achieve roughly the same effect.”

“Mm. The situation is becoming more and more dangerous now. Liberating Hero early is also a good thing.”

Watching the two of them going back and forth, I still felt like I was just a child who couldn’t do anything.

I really wanted to help them, and I really wanted to help those family members, but what could I actually do?

I sighed very quietly, but unexpectedly, Siwei Jie still noticed.

“Hero.” She called out. “I forgot to ask you just now—regarding building this device, do you have any good ideas?”

“Huh?” I raised my head to look at her. “Me?”

“Yes, Guyu and I have said many ideas. Now it’s your turn.” She came before me and crouched down. “You’re the pillar of our team. Do you have any good ideas?”

I think I knew why I liked Siwei Jie so much—because she never treated me like a child who didn’t understand anything.

“I…”

“It’s okay, you can say any ideas you have.” Siwei Jie patted my shoulder. “Hero, although you’re not as old as us, you’re a veteran ‘Fragrance holder.’ Your suggestions might give us some unexpected ideas.”

I did have an idea, but I always felt that saying it would make me seem ridiculous. However, Siwei Jie could always make me put down my psychological burden and tell her everything I imagined.

“Um… Siwei Jie, Guyu Gege, have you noticed… when people die from accidents, their corpses remain here?”

I really wanted to try hard to express my meaning clearly, but I knew too few words.

“I roughly understand…” Siwei Jie said. “You mean if someone accidentally dies, their corpse won’t disappear, and in the next cycle they’ll come back again.”

“Yes, yes, yes!” I hurriedly nodded and said, “That’s exactly what I mean! This way, it’s equivalent to having two of me at the same time… I don’t know if I’m explaining clearly… which means one of me can not die… and the other me will come back…”

I felt like the more I spoke, the more confused it became, and my voice got quieter and quieter. Although Siwei Jie had given me countless opportunities to express my thoughts, I was really so stupid.

“Hero, don’t worry. You can directly say what you want to do.”

“What if… I could become the ‘bell’?” I said.

“What…?” Siwei Jie and Guyu Gege were both stunned at the same time. The scents on their bodies told me they had never thought in this direction before.

“Even if I became the ‘bell’… I would still come back in the next cycle.” I said with a smile. “So I can’t die, and I can keep helping everyone. It’s just a pity that my ‘Fragrance’ is ‘Spirit Smell’ and not ‘become a bell’… otherwise…”

Seeing that neither Siwei Jie nor Guyu Gege spoke, I realized I might have revealed another stupid idea of mine, and my voice gradually became quieter again.

“Sorry… big brother, big sister, you two talk… I’ll just listen.”

“Truly worthy of being a ‘veteran Fragrance holder’…” Siwei Jie said with wide eyes. “This might just be the answer…”
