Lin Yi turned around in surprise.

"What did you say?"

"I can help you!" MoK said calmly.

"You know how to put the watch face away?" Lin Yi was genuinely surprised this time, and squatted down to look Mo K in the eye.

Mo K nodded vigorously, as if afraid Lin Yi wouldn't believe him.

Lin Yi laughed: "Then tell me, how do you plan to put it away?"

"If we find the owner of the watch, we can put it away, right?" Mo K said matter-of-factly.

Lin Yi paused for a second, then couldn't help but glance at the old man.

Did this kind of nonsensical literature learn from old men?

"Well said, don't say it again next time." What else could Lin Yi say but pat his head and encourage him?

After all, she's just a child, what can you really argue with her about?

"Hey, I'm serious." Mo K slapped Lin Yi's hand away, puffing out his cheeks in dissatisfaction.

She pointed to the watch face with her small hand.

"Didn't you notice? Something's missing there, like where you put your keys."

"The owner of the watch must have the key; wouldn't it be simple to just put the key in?"

Lin Yi looked in the direction the little finger pointed, "Where the keys are..."

Tony realized what was happening and quickly maneuvered the probe ball to zoom in on the image.

The "MoK" refers to the 12 o'clock position on the dial, where there is an irregular indentation.

Compared to the huge watch face, it seemed very small, so much so that Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to it at all.

Now it seems that something was indeed placed there.

"That's certainly possible," Tony said, zooming in on the virtual model dial and showing it to Lin Yi for comparison.

"The dial has a recess for each time period, representing a specific point in time."

"But look at this 12 o'clock sign, isn't it a bit asymmetrical?"

Lin Yi made the judgment at a glance.

"It is indeed not very regular."

It's no wonder the two overlooked it; from a distance, anyone would assume these indentations were time markers, and the asymmetrical shape was so subtle that it was difficult to spot.

"I should have realized it sooner. The 12 o'clock sign should be larger than a normal sign. This one is not only irregular, but its size also does not conform to normal aesthetics. Perhaps something really was put inside."

"And this thing..."

As he spoke, Jarvis had already refined the shape of the depression into a digital model.

Without Tony giving many instructions, the matching process began.

In just one second, the greatest possibility was presented.

"This thing, perhaps it's your... gem?"

Tony looked at Lin Yi suspiciously. The model Jarvis had provided had a gem that fit the indentation almost perfectly.

Hmm... This is no coincidence. Based on the information we obtained before, the watch should belong to Lin Yi, or rather, to Lin Yi's memories.

Lin Yi took out the ineffective dimensional gem from his pocket; indeed, one side of it could perfectly fit the indentation.

But why would a dimensional gem be related to this thing?

"What are you thinking about?" Tony took two steps closer and glanced at the dimensional gem in Lin Yi's palm.

"Now that we have a method, let's give it a try."

Lin Yi hummed in agreement.

Let's put aside these things for now; the truth will come out once we regain our memories.

"Hey old man, if I put this dial away, will Time City collapse?" Lin Yi was about to step forward when he suddenly remembered something and asked the old man for confirmation.

The old man stroked his long beard.

"Probably not."

"The records I've read before contain very little information about the Time City dial, but as I've mentioned before, putting away the dial or rotating it clockwise will only restore the Time City to normal."

"My memory is normal, and time won't reset anymore. Those monsters... wait, where did those monsters go?" The old man raised an eyebrow, suddenly noticing something amiss.

These monsters used to roam around at night, right? They could see them before they went to the spatial world, so why are they all gone now?

"Alright, let me share my guess."

"The feather you obtained in the space world beyond the door should be something like the highest authority in the world; possessing it would allow you to control the entire world."

"This is something I've never seen before, and I haven't found any records of it."

"But I suspect that the watch face is likely a similar item, and perhaps after you retrieve the watch face, you will be able to control Time City."

This was a possibility the old man had just thought of, but the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

If that's the case, Time City will return to normal, and perhaps we won't need to go to the spatial world that Lin Yi obtained.

"However, we cannot ignore the unknown risks, because all of the above are speculations."

"But I won't stop you, old man." The old man waved his hand and sighed.

"Given the current state of Time City, I think it's unlikely things will get any worse."

Even if things got worse, the old man believed that the two people in front of him wouldn't abandon them. He was a good judge of character, but he didn't say it aloud.

"Enough talk, Lin, give it a try." Tony interrupted the two, tapping his wrist as if to indicate the time.

Lin Yi pursed his lips, glanced at the gem in his hand again, then took to the air and flew towards the 12 o'clock position on the watch face.

There was nothing like a barrier preventing Lin Yi from getting closer, and he flew smoothly to the 12 o'clock position.

Lin Yi floated in mid-air, holding the dimensional gem and slowly placing it towards the indentation.

Hmm, I'm a little nervous. I hope he doesn't swallow the dimensional gem later.

Two adults and one child on the ground watched quietly as Lin Yi slowly placed the gemstone inside.

As he approached the depression, a faint suction force came from it, and Lin Yi's heart stirred.

This needs no further explanation; it should be the correct answer.

With a slight loosening of her fingers, the dimensional gem was pulled by a weak suction force and, with a click, was embedded in the gem.

At the same time, Lin Yi quickly created some distance in the air to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

On the ground, Tony closed his mask, his right arm jerked, and an energy shield appeared instantly. He also took a step to the left, blocking Mo K's view once again.

On the dial, the hands are still rotating counterclockwise.

One second, two seconds, ten seconds...

A minute passed, and Lin Yi's mouth was half open, looking somewhat puzzled.

Why is there no response?

According to the movie, the dimensional gem shouldn't suddenly shine brightly and then exhibit an anomaly to show that it is the key.

Or, to put it another way, release a huge horde of monsters and then have a final boss to enter the final stage.

But now, why isn't there any bird response at all?

Lin Yi stepped forward suspiciously and carefully observed the 12 o'clock mark.

No problem, the Dimensional Gem fits perfectly into the recess.

What's going on? Is the installation method incorrect? Or is it installed backwards?

Puzzled, Lin Yi reached out to take the dimensional gem, intending to try putting it upside down.

However, as soon as his fingers touched the dimensional gem, Lin Yi felt a suction force come from it again.

This time, it wasn't the dimensional gem that was absorbed, but him.
