Bab 609: Chapter 609: Is A Thing That Should Be Expired

"Connected to the Unknown?"

"Yes."

Riley did not immediately grab the plaque in front of him, and instead just slightly backed away as he looked at the tablet. And then, a few breaths later and without even saying another word, a clone emerged from the gray floor; grabbing the item even when his silhouette wasn't yet complete.

"It's fine, you can touch it however you like," Tedi said, "We wrapped it in a protective membrane so as to not contaminate it, or us."

"..." Riley then stared at the clone to see if something was going to happen to it—but nothing. Riley still did not touch it, however, and just let his clone continue examining whatever the thing was.

There seemed to be something written on the plaque. But for Riley, they just looked like the scratches of a chicken's feet. If there was anything weird about it that Riley could immediately discern, it was that it weighed like a feather.
