Seeing Huang Xiaopang's serious expression and his tone as if he were arranging affairs before his demise, He Kao quickly sat down and asked, "Are you alright?"

But looking left and right, he saw no sign that Huang Xiaopang was about to collapse and die. He just seemed a bit weak and tired, which was actually quite normal. He Kao was in a similar state.

Huang Xiaopang said, "I don't know what the situation will be when I wake up tomorrow morning, or if I'll even wake up. But if I don't say everything today, I'm afraid I won't survive.

I need to tell you some things now, also to save my own life. I know you have many questions, but don't ask anything just yet. Listen to me ask, listen to me speak, I'll say everything..."

He Kao put down the cola, folded his arms, and said, "Alright, go ahead."

Huang Xiaopang said, "The emails I received were definitely from you. You already know I'm a Hidden Moth, so did you notice today what limitations the Hidden Moth's abilities have?"

He Kao said, "Let me think about it, summarize a bit. I mainly noticed two points just now.

First, when using the Hidden Moth's abilities, it cannot be perceived by anyone through any means, otherwise, the abilities will fail.

Second, the Hidden Moth can appear anywhere out of thin air and disappear into thin air. But it can only disappear at the same location where it previously appeared, and then appear at the next location."

Huang Xiaopang nodded and said, "The first point is basically right, but the second point needs some supplement. I indeed can appear out of thin air in a place, but it must be a place I've personally been to and can remember.

Luckily today it's Joy Valley, where I've been many times, and that indoor shopping street, I've strolled there many times as well. This bracelet, which you call the Hidden Moth Object, was bought there..."

Saying that, he took the synthetic amber bracelet out of his pants pocket and placed it on the table.

He Kao was astonished and said, "What? The Hidden Moth Object was actually found at a small stall! Wasn't it passed to you by someone?"

Huang Xiaopang slapped the table, pretending to be annoyed and said, "Didn't we agree? Listen to me first! Even if there are questions, I'm the one to ask. You don't ask me! There will be a chance for you to ask at the end."

He Kao readily admitted his mistake, "Alright, I was wrong, I shouldn't have interrupted, please continue!"

Huang Xiaopang sighed again and said, "Hidden Moth Objects are chosen by oneself. What your father's Hidden Moth Object was, I don't know. But my Hidden Moth Object is this bracelet.

As for my dad's Hidden Moth Object, it's a silver ring that he wore. Actually, it's not silver; the material is aluminum-nickel alloy, made by the village jeweler using five-cent coins.

Whatever the object, it needs to contain a closed loop, such as this bracelet... The string breaking doesn't matter; just replace it with a new one and connect it, nothing else is required.

But it's best to choose something convenient to carry that isn't easy to lose, the more ordinary, the less attention it attracts, the better, at least so no one will steal it.

He Kao, I want to ask you, hypothetically, just hypothetically, if you were to choose an object now as your Hidden Moth Object, what would you choose?"

This amount of information was vast, and it indirectly confirmed He Kao's previous suspicions. The Hidden Moth "identity" was passed from his father Zhou Du to Xiaopang's father Director Huang, and then Director Huang passed it to his son Huang Si.

As for how it was passed, let's wait for Xiaopang to explain.

He Kao took out four pendants, shook open the tangled string, and picked out one, saying, "If I were to choose, I'd choose this one. Do you think it meets the requirements?"

The one he picked was crafted by Wu Yanjun's "little junior sister," and it was the roughest crafted among all the fake pendants. After wearing this pendant, no "expert" ever took an interest in it again.

Huang Xiaopang nodded and said, "Of course, it's very suitable! Put it together with my bracelet."

He Kao had a vague idea of what Xiaopang might want to do but withheld his questions as Xiaopang had repeatedly asked him not to ask. So he held back his words.

The bracelet was spread open in a circle on the table, and he placed the pendant right in the center of the circle.

Huang Xiaopang reached out and pulled all the red strings that were hanging outside into the circle and continued to say, "To use the Hidden Moth's abilities, one needs to transition through a space.

What people speculate about the Hidden Moth's ability is merely the accompanying manifestation, the true ability of the Hidden Moth is actually entering and exiting that space—let's call it the Hidden Moth Space.

The function of the Hidden Moth Object is like a key, used to open the Hidden Moth Space. It's okay if the Hidden Moth Object is lost, you can sense its location and retrieve it.

If you can't find it, it's a bit troublesome, but not a major trouble. You can cultivate another one, but it takes time. The cultivation method isn't difficult, just find an object as similar as possible to the original, and carry it in the same manner.

As long as you are a Hidden Moth, the Hidden Moth Object is yours and can't be taken by others, even killing you won't help.

To enter the Hidden Moth Space from the reality world we are in, one needs to find and open its door. Once inside, you can choose to exit through the original route or abandon that door, which means letting the original door disappear, and then open another door.

This door can lead to any place in the world you have been to and can remember, but if you want to return to the Hidden Moth Space again, you must go through the new door you've opened.

So when using the Hidden Moth's abilities, be particularly cautious about the location where you open the door; otherwise, you might not be able to return!

If you can't open the door in the Hidden Moth Space, it means that someone could sense the location at that time, like being under someone's watchful eyes, then just change to a different location or time... That's why I couldn't enter your room just now.

It's a bit convoluted, did you understand it?"

He Kao: "It's not complicated at all, I understood everything."

Huang Xiaopang: "I've basically told you all about the Hidden Moth's abilities. If you have any questions, you can ask now."

He Kao: "You mentioned that by opening another door in the Hidden Moth Space, you can go anywhere you want. What about legendary places, like heaven, the underworld, or fantasy worlds?"

Huang Xiaopang rolled his eyes: "What kind of question is that! I was very clear, it has to be a place I've been to and can remember! How could I have been to such places?"

He Kao: "What's your feeling about it? Just a feeling."

Huang Xiaopang: "I feel it's possible, as long as you've personally been there! Don't waste my emotions, ask something useful."

He Kao: "Where did you get those guns from, did you steal them from an armory? If discovered, that'd be a huge case, getting investigated thoroughly!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaopang got excited, his brows dancing: "Your perspective is too limited, only thinking domestic…"

At long last, it turns out those guns were sourced from abroad by Xiaopang, not from an armory, but from a shooting range in Sawa Country specifically catered to tourists. Xiaopang visited there during a departmental team building.

At that time, he had just started working in the Tengxin Group's most profitable, cash-rich gaming division.

The project team led by Gao Xue'e usually had team builds in a fancy restaurant for a meal, and if time permitted, a short trip was planned, for example, to places like Qile Manor.

And during that period, Huang Xiaopang's department went abroad for team building... That day, after watching performances and riding elephants, there happened to be a live-fire shooting range nearby, offering handguns, rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, albeit no grenades or RPGs.

He Kao was enlightened: "So that's how it is, they wouldn't trace it back here! You didn't steal them just now, did you?"

Huang Xiaopang: "There's no time to grab them temporarily, what if someone was watching? After receiving your second batch of emails, I seized the opportunity to get some guns and bullets, storing them temporarily in the Hidden Moth Space, and today they finally came in handy."

He Kao: "What kind of place actually is the Hidden Moth Space, can it be used as a warehouse?"

Huang Xiaopang hesitated and said: "I'll leave you some suspense, won't tell you today."

He Kao: "If you don't want to say, then I won't ask.

Huang Xiaopang: "But there's one more thing I have to tell you. You can move things from the outside into the Hidden Moth Space, and you can also bring things out of the Hidden Moth Space, but try to do this as little as possible.

Whatever you carry in, take back out, don't use Hidden Moth Space as a storage place. If you really have to leave things in Hidden Moth Space, it's not a big issue for small items, but never turn it into moving house levels.

The items borrowed through Hidden Moth's abilities, like those guns today, should ideally be returned to their original place afterward. I just put the guns back in the shooting range, as for the bullets used, forget it."

He Kao: "Did you just take a trip to Sawa Country again?"

Huang Xiaopang: "Going to Sawa Country or Joy Valley, it's all the same to Hidden Moth."

He Kao: "I still have two magazines here."

Huang Xiaopang: "Those small items aren't important, keep the gun together for self-protection in the future.

Actually, all these words were reminders from my dad when he initially advised me. He's been a Hidden Moth longer than I have, and surely knows more, listening to him is never wrong."

At this point, the two inexplicably fell silent.

After a long pause, Xiaopang drank up the remaining half bottle of cola and finally broke the silence: "Do you have any other questions?"

He Kao: "Let's change the subject. I once watched a movie called 'Teleporter,' the superpowers there allowed going anywhere you wanted, even if you hadn't been there, just by looking at a photo.

I initially thought the Hidden Moth Ability was similar to those superpowers in the movie, but now it seems it's not alike at all."

Huang Xiaopang: "Of course it's different! I've watched that movie too, just a creative take on superpowers, senseless, without reason or logic.

Space traversing is just a manifestation of the Hidden Moth Ability, while its essence is opening Hidden Moth Space, like opening an infinite unknown world…"

He Kao: "Hidden Moth travels through that space, reaching places worldwide, where does the energy come from?"

Huang Xiaopang: "Haven't you studied? Energy doesn't disappear, it merely converts from one form to another, increasing entropy." He sighed, "Honestly, I don't actually know."

He Kao murmured as if talking to himself: "Perhaps entropy is also conserved, we just don't know in what form, or perhaps… dark matter and dark energy truly exist."

Huang Xiaopang finally sat up straight, raising his tone: "You're circling around, almost reaching the Big Bang! Why don't you ask—how did I become a Hidden Moth?"

He Kao looked up at him in the darkness: "I was waiting for you to tell me."
