An expert once said that if you could reach the very core of a Dead End, you might uncover the secret behind its formation.”

“Secrets are a bit far-fetched right now, but since that chubby kid was stealing from the Zhou Family Bakery, maybe he and that store are from the same era? Following that lead might reveal something,” Li Chengyi proposed.

“I’ve already arranged for that, but there’s a vast amount of old data involved, and it’ll take time to go through it all,” Sindra replied, adjusting his AR glasses, evidently communicating with his company’s employees through the device.@@@@
