"key?"
Hearing this, Ji Xinglan was still a little doubtful and didn't know what I was talking about. I took Ji Xinglan's hand and took the short sword from her.
I picked up the short sword and slashed Ji Xinglan's skin, and blood gushed out.
In my experience, the most important thing to do to completely control this magical artifact is to establish a connection through blood.
"First, let your blood flow. Only through this can I establish a connection! I have almost completely grasped your previous memories. Now, I am you!"
I grabbed Ji Xinglan's wrist and squeezed it tightly, causing her blood to drip directly onto the ground.
When the blood dripped down and landed on the ground, it created white smoke.
There was also a sizzling sound, like the blood was corrosive; this was the first time I'd ever seen such an effect.
"Because the energy is too strong, the energy in Ji Xinglan's body has exceeded expectations, so it is normal for her to be in this state!"
"Master, you're too kind. If it were me, I would have drained you dry!"
Seeing this, Lei Jijian felt a bit disappointed and his mouth twitched.
This is the Thunder Strike Sword; it doesn't have much emotion, and its mind is mostly focused on how to absorb energy.
"If you're willing, I can too!"
Ji Xinglan did not refuse after hearing Lei Jijian's words.
"Shut up, don't bother me!"
I gripped Ji Xinglan's wrist even tighter; my mind was filled with memories of Ji Xinglan.
This includes her childhood, her school days, and the period before she entered the Lin family compound.
These memories flashed through my mind one by one.
I found it strange earlier. Lei Jijian said that even with good coordination, this kind of formation requires several attempts, but I succeeded on my second try, which is a bit unusual.
Now I understand. It turns out that these memories weren't due to the formation.
It's because of the ritual implements.
It seems the magical artifact has already mistaken me for Ji Xinglan.
I let go of Ji Xinglan's hand, and Ji Xinglan looked at me, somewhat surprised.
"What's wrong, Uncle Chen? Did something happen?"
Ji Xinglan asked me earnestly, as if she was afraid that something might have happened to me.
I took a deep breath and told Ji Xinglan about my discovery.
Ji Xinglan was completely bewildered.
"Uncle Chen, do you mean that this booklet, that is, the magical artifact, is mistaking you for me?"
"Are you alright? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Ji Xinglan's tone was full of worry, which touched me.
Of course, Ji Xinglan might also be faking it.
I sensed the power and shook my head: "No, it should be that we jointly control this magical artifact!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xinglan's expression finally softened, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"As for you, now get closer to me, and I'll help you take control of this thing first!"
After I finished speaking, I tightened my grip on Ji Xinglan's hand.
Our two forces converged, and we began to sense this magical artifact.
It went much more smoothly than I had imagined. A golden light entered both Ji Xinglan and my body, and the next second, Ji Xinglan and I were back in the room.
"Uncle Chen, is this the end of it?"
Ji Xinglan was so surprised by what she saw that she couldn't say a word.
Ji Xinglan never expected it to turn out this way.
"Yeah, you didn't think it was going to be several hours, did you?"
I asked back, pretending to be calm, but actually I was a little confused just now.
"Hehe, uncle, have you forgotten that our minds were already connected just now? I can hear everything you're thinking!"
Ji Xinglan winked at me, looking quite playful.
My face instantly turned red with embarrassment. Damn it!
This sensory ability does have some advantages; it's especially enjoyable when you're watching the drama unfold. But the downside is that it lets others overhear you.
"Master, I've cracked the code for you! This connection is with you! You can now actively block contact with her!" Just as I was thinking, the Thunder Strike Sword began to transmit its voice to me again.
I glanced at Ji Xinglan, and sure enough, she didn't react at all.
They probably didn't hear what Lei Jijian said.
I dared not ask, fearing that Ji Xinglan would overhear. I simply gave Lei Jijian a look, and Lei Jijian, being so shrewd, immediately transmitted the information into my mind.
As I absorbed the information in my mind, I felt much more at ease.
The method is actually very simple: just use energy to create a protective shield in your own sea of consciousness, and that's enough.
Soon, following Lei Jijian's method, I created a protective shield. Sure enough, Ji Xinglan didn't react to anything I was thinking.
"The key is that you can still hear what that girl is saying, but your words are perfectly filtered out. How about that, Master? Pretty impressive, right?"
Lei Jijian sounded extremely proud, and I told him that it was indeed very good.
"Alright, take the booklet and see if you can get in."
I handed the booklet to Ji Xinglan and asked her to try it out.
Ji Xinglan nodded and placed her hand on it, but nothing happened.
I told Ji Xinglan that she had to go in with her consciousness.
Following the method I gave her, Ji Xinglan channeled her consciousness into the booklet. Sure enough, after Ji Xinglan closed her eyes, the park from earlier suddenly appeared in my mind.
