# Chapter 1905: Carmen Field Defense Battle
Seeing how cooperative he was, the boss even gave him an extra one.
Xu Huo found a tea place nearby to sit down, and took the opportunity to use the "Realm of Contemplation" to open his spiritual world.
As soon as he entered the inner fortress behind, a mechanical door suddenly appeared forcefully before him, slamming shut with a "bang."
Xu Huo knocked on the door.
A small hatch opened on the massive door. Bai Kou sat before a giant wall filled with rotating mechanical gears, dismantling a weapon model in her hands as she said, "I thought you didn't know you had to knock when entering someone else's house."
"My apologies. I'll definitely knock next time." Xu Huo walked over. She didn't invite him to sit, so he pulled out a stool himself.
"Good results." Bai Kou didn't look up as she said, "You're improving quickly."
"Thanks for your help," Xu Huo said. "I came specifically to thank you this time."
"Thank me? With the candy in your hand?" Bai Kou's eyes swept over.
"You can have it if you like. It's filled." Xu Huo tossed the candy over.
Bai Kou unwrapped it, put it in her mouth, and bit down. After biting off Lang Zongjing's sugar figure, she mercilessly chewed up his head. "Not bad."
"You're injured?" Xu Huo looked at her leg, which was placed sideways on the chair and covered with a blanket.
"Minor injury." Bai Kou's tone was indifferent. She then asked, "Anything else?"
"Just a small matter..." Before Xu Huo could finish, Bai Kou raised her eyes and looked at him coldly. "You really think I'm your errand runner?"
"You're joking." Xu Huo's spiritual power gradually materialized into a pitch-black table. He placed the "Angel's Eyes" on it. "Is this enough of a bargaining chip?"
Bai Kou dropped what she was holding and sat up straight, staring intently at the "Angel's Eyes" for several seconds before asking, "What do you want?"
"I want to ask you to help take care of two children," Xu Huo said. "If Platinum Eye isn't at risk of being attacked by the Lang family in the near future, I'd like to send them here to study and learn artifact crafting on the side."
"No problem," Bai Kou agreed immediately. "I can send them to study with Madam Lu."
Madam Lu was the artifact crafter she had introduced to Xu Huo last time, who had created the A-grade defense trait item "Life Flashback."
"Don't agree too quickly," Xu Huo added. "I definitely won't give you the item, but I can lend it to you. For the time I stay at Platinum Eye, as long as the item isn't damaged, the 'Angel's Eyes' can remain with you."
Bai Kou's tense body relaxed. "I figured you wouldn't just give it away for free... Fine, I agree to your terms."
"But I'm very curious—how did you obtain a primordial stone?"
"And such a primordial stone was actually made into an item."
"It's not hard to guess from the name," Xu Huo said, placing one hand on the milky white stone. "Angel's Eyes—it should be the eye of the Field Battle Angel. I obtained it by chance from an instance."
"This stone can release time rays. It's a 'Time Origin.'"
"Time Origin" was a type of primordial stone that could give nearby ores space-time attributes. There were many types of primordial stones, and the sub-class stones they extended into were all materials for crafting items and instruments, but only the primordial stone called "Time Origin" could give sub-class stones space-time properties.
"You know about it?" Bai Kou stared at him in surprise. After a moment, her expression turned serious. "You've undergone secondary evolution again?"
Xu Huo calmly met her eyes.
Seeing that he didn't deny it, Bai Kou finally spoke after a long while, with a mix of reluctance and resignation. "No wonder he wanted to leave the good things to you. You're more talented."
"I already used the 'Time Origin' some time ago," she said, hiding her sadness. "I didn't succeed."
"How long after you got it did you start evolving?"
"It has auxiliary abilities itself, and I happened to enter a space-time chaotic space. A stroke of luck." Xu Huo had no intention of competing with her and repeated his question, "Are you sure the Lang family won't attack Platinum Eye?"
"They wouldn't dare, and they couldn't bear such a heavy cost..." Bai Kou hadn't finished speaking before she realized something and sat up straight again. "You foresaw it?"
"You're quick to catch on." Xu Huo said, "I'm not sure if it's precognition, but it has nothing to do with Platinum Eye."
"Those two children?" Bai Kou stared at him. "You foresaw their deaths, so you deliberately sent them away from District 011."
"Not exactly death, but definitely not a small matter," Xu Huo paused before continuing, "But coming here, I'm more worried that my actions are facilitating something that hasn't happened yet."
Bai Kou pondered with a grave expression for a moment. "It seems it's real then."
"Farewell." Xu Huo put away the "Angel's Eyes" and prepared to leave.
"You think you can escape?" Bai Kou raised her voice to stop him. "You've already begun evolving—don't you know that the time rays on a person are completely different from the time rays on objects?"
"The time rays on objects are singular, but the time rays on a person are complex. Especially for someone who has been to multiple districts, time will inevitably leave traces on a person. The precognitive images you saw are the resonance of your evolutionary power with the time rays on others."
"You saw a precognitive image in District 011—can you guarantee that the event won't happen in District 011?"
"Besides here, where else can you send them?"
"You don't feel safe in District 011, you're afraid of causing trouble in your home district—do you have anyone else reliable?"
Xu Huo turned back to look at her. It was precisely because he understood all this that he had deliberately sent the people here.
"I'm not threatening you," Bai Kou said. "Even if something happens to Platinum Eye, I can guarantee they'll be prioritized for evacuation."
"I want to ask one question," Xu Huo said after a moment of silence. "If they weren't at Platinum Eye, weren't in District 011, but in some obscure district, how would the event still occur?"
Bai Kou gestured for him to sit down, then told a story.
"Once there was a super player. Someone in his family foresaw a vision of him killing a large number of family members."
"So from the time he came of age, he wandered outside. Across a span of a hundred years, he only returned home a few times. When he felt himself growing old, he even selected burial sites in different districts in advance."
"During that time, even his family relocated their residence twice to different districts."
"Just when he was preparing to hand over the items he held to the younger generation of his family, war broke out between wormholes. Many districts disappeared as a result. The flames of war spread to his homeland, and in the conflict, he was forced to destroy his own family residence, even affecting hundreds of clan members."
"This is the famous Carmen Field Defense Battle."
"If even Carmen Field was like this, then if Xiao Yuan and Tan Qi aren't in District 011, aren't at Platinum Eye, it means their death tribulation was never meant to be in these two places."
"If their death tribulation is in these two places, it's only a matter of time, sooner or later. Any opportunity could bring them back."
