Inside the Laboratory of Space and Astronomy Research,
Pope is conducting a solo Void experiment,
carefully extracting each "Regular Dodecahedron Miniature Void Crystal" refined over half a month.
This process requires full concentration, with at least five minutes needed to extract each crystal.
As Pope focuses on collecting items,
some sounds vaguely drift through the external corridor.
In fact,
due to the soundproof design of the lab, external sounds should be inaudible.
However, Pope, being in a state of mental concentration, has his sensory perceptions magnified several times, allowing him to vaguely hear through soundproofing.
This situation occurs frequently,
with Pope's brain structure allowing him to easily shield out language information.
But this time is different.
As Pope intends to shield the sounds, he unexpectedly hears two keywords - [Nicholas], and his own name [Pope].
