They will possibly need their cores back - or powers of some sort back - for any of this to work. He still doesn't understand how they have managed to separate the usage of powers from the use of their cores. Just what other sort of things are these captors capable of, that they can manipulate energy so minutely, so expertly.
In the meantime, this will be enough to get Wei Ying working on something, to give Lan Wangji a little more peace of mind when they go out on these missions and have to separate.
The problem after that is that the hotel still seems to be a few steps ahead of all of them, anticipating their moves, watching their every step. Which means that having a paper copy of anything floating around anywhere is probably not the best idea. But he's also a Lan - he could recite all 3,000 rules from memory, all Buddhist scriptures, and many other texts besides.
"If they have our memories, we will have to design one we've never considered previously." Otherwise, it would be easy to pick out. Simple ciphers just won't do. They can think of something, but "for now, no writing."
