Exa Ximei’s sylphlike face, Gu Jun’s mind was frazzled Illusions danced around the corner of his eyes ‘Did weup stories?’ He had read the stories that she wrote while in imprisonment, they were all fantastical stories based on her experience living in the countryside The main characters were either plants or aniested that the girl was a master story-teller, which Gu Jun had to be cautious about

“Indeed, I do not remember much” Gu Jun admitted “It’s like someone has placed a lock on my memory” He could not ree 6 or 7 In terms of actual characters, other than his parents and the wilted faces from the Son of Misfortune evocation ritual, he could not remember any other person featured in his memory He tried meditation and hypnosis but they were to no avail

“Miss Deng, please tell me whatever it is that you remember” Gu Jun said seriously

“I can reveal to you so Xi, in fact ere quite close But as you know, superficialities are often unreliable”

“Is that so?” Gu Jun countered, “But how come you said you do not remember any other Spirit Children when Phecda conducted their investigation last year?”

“I did not wish to answer that question at the ti Ximei admitted but did not explain further Gu Jun could sense her stubbornness, even now she held back information from him Nonetheless, he had to push further, that was his purpose for being there After getting a better read of this girl, he would hopefully knowCo Ximei but not from memory, instead that familiarity ca at a mirror when he sat across froe Gu Jun wasXi to get hi her his sincerity that he could break through her o out for a walk?” Gu Jun suggested Anyone would feel distressed in the roo Ximei nodded silently A sination?

Originally, the two Spirit Children’s firstwas supposed to be closely monitored, a as definitely not part of the plan but Elder Tong kne difficult Deng Xi, he allowed Gu Jun to try his ivenXiation room, and walked towards the nearby park The other ht was dark with the streetlahtness The leaves rustled in the wind As they sauntered through the park, Gu Jun was suddenly re, “The as travelling through The wild grass waved in its trail as if urging the wind to bring theh the i the risk that it would deplete the, it featured theh her depiction of struggles in nature This was noted by the Review Depart as well It hy they were so confused about her, which fate was she fighting against? The fate of the com Xi would be closely deciphered, but she still wrote thee? With her brilliance, it was not iood” Gu Jun tried to forge a bond with her

“Thank you… Writing isXi Ximei clairowing up in the untale, while others in the real one Despite the many inconveniences, I’m sure there are plenty of fun to be had in nature, yes?” Perhaps he was one of the latter too because the sense of illusion grew stronger when they left the interrogation room, or was it due to the co Ximei said softly, “My parents were expert survivalists, they were the ones who taughtI know” Gu Jun could detect the faded ood relationshi+p with her parents… He said unprompted, “Actually I envy your relationshi+p with your parents, mine was lost at sea when I was ten It was probably the work of Lai Sheng Co Ximei turned to him and suddenly announced, “Mr Gu, I too wish to destroy the Lai Sheng Company” Gu Jun could read the determination in her eyes, and it excited his heart “Actually I’ve been thinking about that since I approached Phecda” As ifXimei added, “I know my captivity was due to the horrible consequences that I’ve caused from my unearthed memory But I really did not wish for that to happen I a Company, I too wish to destroy them, for myself, for my parents… for you and for other Spirit Children” There was that moment where Gu Jun was touched and he believed her fully This was because he shared in her e suspected, the willingness to face treer…

“I do not knohat else I can do but I just re Ximei confessed “I have not told them to anyone before but I will disclose all of it to you”

“Miss Deng” Gu Jun reached out his right hand, finally things were progressing “I’ Xirab his hand Suddenly the accumulated illusions caused Gu Jun’s head to spin She was a htened as the iround of trees

‘Is that a little girl?’ Gu Jun believed he saw a girl standing between the trees, no wait, there were other children around her…

All of a sudden, the i woman Inside a desolate forest where the old trees twisted, he could see two figures lying on the forest ground carpeted with fallen leaves The young woures’ neck She gled with radually their activities died down After that, the young woman climbed onto the tree She tossed the rope over a thick branch and jue to lift the two bodies into the air The young wo Ximei

Gu Jun felt slammed into mentally as the illusion faded away He took a deep breath as he turned to study the thin woer lashed against his heart It was her, she was the killer She murdered her parents in cold blood and covered up her tracks

But why…

“Miss Deng” Gu Jun looked into her eyes while still holding onto her hand His voice was hoarse as he got right to the point “I just saw your parent’s death, and they are a bit different fro Xied She barely even blinked She responded as if she predicted this “That was merely the superficial impression It is not the truth”
