Growing more nervous, Evan asked Jon with a grin, "How about we take Ninnin in a helicopter, and then he descends into the smoke? If he got into the smoke from the ground, it might take longer. The plume of smoke clearly looks wider than it is tall."
Jon raised his eyebrows. Evan could only guess that the old man was surprised by Evan's sudden change in attitude and the change in the subject of the conversation.
"If he uses a helicopter from above, it means he will descend on a rope." For the umpteenth time, Jon cracked a smile. "Maybe when he goes down using a rope, he will have a hard time fighting the 'living smoke.' We don't know what that 'living smoke' actually is. We only know the term was spoken by the member who got into that smoke. However, we must remain vigilant."
"I can jump and land safely from a high place, even higher than that plume of smoke." Ninnin joined in.
