How long has it been since he came here?

Honestly, he didn't know.

But at least, he found something worthy.

Right now, XD was heading to Kristin's chambers, a pile of books in his hands.

The door opened itself in front of him, letting him inside the vast room.

"Oh, XD? Did you find anything?"

Kristin questioned, looking up from the book she was reading as he walked up to her seat.

"Yes, here."

XD opened the book in front of her, showing her the page.

"Kristin, I think I figured something out."

"What is it?"

"The leak of souls is connected to the Other side."

"What? Really?"

"I think so, look at here. It says that once the gate opens, souls come rushing out. Karl activated the portal to the Other side, so..."

He pointed at the price where the text was written and she read it, furrowing her eyebrows slightly.

"Think you're right... But if that's so, we'll just have to close the gates to stop the flow, right?"

"I don't know. We'll have to do more research on this one. Have you found anything related to all of this?"

"Yes, actually. Let me find it."

She flipped the pages, stopping at the certain one.

"Here."

Kristin showed XD the text that she highlighted.

(Translation: 'A presence of a deity is required to cleanse the body of a possessed. The deity should take the person under the wing for a short amount of time in order to purify the soul. But the corrupted one should be doing this all willingly. Or else, it won't work.')
