Xia Chujian: “…”
That is certain, this maze of Huangquan has self-awareness.
But Xia Chujian said nothing.
She listened quietly, with an expression of extreme surprise.
Zong Ruoning said, "You're surprised too, right?"
"The more surprising thing is yet to come."
Xia Chujian: “…”
She was ready, staring intently at Zong Ruoning on the virtual display in front of her, with an expression that said, "Please speak quickly."
Zong Ruoning said, "...Since it's a sacrifice, the offering won't return on its own after being consumed by the 'god'."
"In the past ten thousand years, the Beichen royal family has encountered that door three times."
"They all made sacrifices, but they didn't receive the same response as their founding ancestor, Tan Tai Lin."
"Of course, the sacrifice didn't come back on its own either."
Xia Chujian frowned in confusion, but quickly recovered and said in surprise: "So, I am the only 'sacrifice' who came back on my own?!"
Zong Ruoning nodded.
Xia Chujian closed his eyes and said, "Impossible."
"First of all, I was pushed in there by mistake. I don't think I'm a sacrifice, at least that door doesn't think I'm a sacrifice."
"Also, if I really was being sacrificed, wouldn't there be a ceremony?"
"Without the ritual, how could that door, or the being behind it, know that this was a sacrifice?"
"Couldn't it be someone just throwing flowers and plants around?"
"Well, since I'm not a sacrifice, there's no question of not being able to come back."
"If this is the reason, then it's too unfair for me!"
"If that person had spoken to me as kindly as you did from the beginning, perhaps I wouldn't have to go through this inexplicable ordeal."
She nodded her head and said regretfully, "What a pity... After I came back, I was tortured by that person and lost my memory. Otherwise, I could tell you in detail what happened there."
"Maybe there really is a clue or clue to the whereabouts of the mysterious Huangquan."
She had briefly told others about her experience in the Kingdom of Destiny on the other side of the gate before, but now, she had "forgotten" everything, all because of "amnesia".
Don't even think about asking her to repeat it.
The answer is amnesia, I don’t remember.
Ask about suicide again.
Xia Chujian thought with an embarrassed look.
Zong Ruoning said, "I understand everything, so I don't want to know what you went through behind that door. I just want you to know why the Emperor looks at you differently, and why he is so determined to get you to the Maze of Yellow Springs."
Xia Chujian really disliked these two words.
She said seriously, "That person didn't look at me differently. He just wanted to get some information from me."
"I'm determined to win, but I don't deserve it. If I can recover my memory, I will definitely tell him."
"But now I don't know when I can recover my memory, so please respect and bless me."
Xia Chujian spoke casually, not seeming to care much about her amnesia.
Zong Ruoning said, "It would be best if you could think it through."
"Take good care of yourself. I hope you won't tell anyone else what I said to you today, and definitely don't post it on Starnet."
He felt that Xia Chujian was not the kind of person who talked too much and could be trusted, so he told her these things.
He also wanted her to understand the real reason why His Majesty the Emperor gave her a lie detector test.
Only in this way can she avoid making wrong judgments.
This is a somewhat impulsive girl, Zong Ruoning thought silently.
Others are impulsive and may just get into a fight.
But this impulsive...
He couldn't help but think of the information he had previously investigated about Xia Chujian.
A girl who has been making a name for herself with her marksmanship in a bounty hunter organization like the Night Hunters since she was fourteen is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
She can kill and is not afraid of killing.
Her impulse probably caused a river of blood to flow...
Zong Ruoning looked at her silently.
Xia Chujian solemnly promised: "I swear on my aunt's name that I will never tell anyone, let alone post it on Starnet."
Zong Ruoning: “…”
Although he knew that Xia Chujian valued her aunt the most, this mode of swearing still made him feel weird.
…
After finishing the conversation with Zong Ruoning, Xia Chujian became uneasy and distracted, as if he was thinking about something.
She always secretly glanced at Xiao Jiuxiang when no one was paying attention, her eyes thoughtful.
At night, Xia Chujian coaxed Wu Fu, A Wu and A Xuan to sleep in the small compartment of her bedroom before going to check on Xiao Jiuxiang's bed.
As a result, Xiao Jiuxiang was not seen.
She was slightly startled, turned around and went back to her bedroom, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Jiuxiang lying on her bed, hiding his entire fat body under the quilt.
Xia Chujian was both amused and confused.
After washing up, she went to bed, patted the quilt that was bulging into a small round shape, and said, "Is Xiao Jiuxiang in there?"
Little Jiuxiang said in a baby voice: "No! Jiuxiang is asleep!"
Xia Chujian nodded and said, "Okay then, Xiao Jiuxiang, let's go to bed first and talk tomorrow."
Little Jiuxiang threw back the quilt, widened his eyes, and said, "No! Wufu will wake up tomorrow, and he will pester me!"
"Jiuxiang knows that my sister has something to say!"
Xia Chujian smiled and tapped his small upturned nose, saying, "You are so clever!"
"Okay, it's only nine o'clock now, there's no harm in talking to you."
She held Little Jiuxiang in her arms and whispered in his ear, "Little Jiuxiang, those fragments of the maze and the underworld, can you still sense them?"
