A Slight Shift in the Formation

It was roughly halfway through this second month, when Di Tou was walking around as per normal that he noticed that Mu Di Bai's home had an abnormality. Although the street was still fairly deserted, and the courtyard out back was still messy, Di Tou noticed that the formation seemed to be active. This was a bit had to describe, but it was like observing a spider web and noticing that one part was tensing and swaying in the wind, or the accumulation of water droplets gathering on a particular part.

Seeing this, Di Tou was rather excited and wondered if something had changed, but in the end he didn't observe further but continued walking like he normally did, quickly moving until he returned to his residence.

Finding a secluded spot, Di Tou pulled out the communication pearl which he hadn't checked in a while and found a message.
