537 Severing the Cause and Effect by Forgetting (1)
The Diamond Sects ancestor was stunned and the shadow revealed countless eyes.
Is it possible that this sentence is an explanation for an existence I didnt notice... Xu Qing calmly spoke.
Moreover, from the start to the end, this painting old man addressed me as Lord Guardian. Only in this sentence did he say sir.
Such an obvious gap but I strangely neglected it previously. Xu Qings eyes revealed coldness.
Then, how many criminals are there in D132?
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes as he recalled.
The first one is a cloud beast.
The second is the human woman.
The third one is the millstone.
Thirteenth... Xu Qing paused and an icy aura rose from his entire body.
Whos the fourth? Xu Qing mumbled as his pupils constricted.
The Diamond Sects ancestor was about to speak but he was also stunned. He couldnt remember either. After that, his entire body trembled and horror appeared in his eyes.
The shadow was also at a loss.
Whos the fifth one? Or rather, from the fourth to the twelfth one, who are they? Why cant I remember? Xu Qing spoke softly. He took out the prisoners information jade slip and checked it. No matter how he counted, there were 14 of them.
However, he just couldnt remember the nine in the middle.
It was incomparably bizarre.
There were records of them in the jade slip. Xu Qing felt that he had seen them but he couldnt remember them.
That previous guardian also introduced the prisoners. He didnt seem to... mention the nine in the middle. However, I actually felt that it was normal at that time.
Interesting. A cold glint flashed in Xu Qings eyes. He opened his storage bag, wanting to record everything he had learned. However, after some thought, he didnt use the jade slip but took out a blank bamboo slip.
He had many bamboo slips in his storage bag.
On this bamboo slip, he engraved everything he was thinking about word by word.
In the last line, Xu Qing wrote five words and a question mark.
The power of a god?
After doing this, Xu Qing walked out of the Sword Pavilion in the dark night.
It was still raining outside. There were puddles everywhere on the ground. Xu Qing walked on them and arrived at the Prison Department.
As he walked on the steps of the Prison Department, the sound of his footsteps spread far away, forming echoes.
This was the first time Xu Qing came to the Prison Department at night. The surroundings were even darker. Only the lights on the walls that were lit some distance away emitted a dim glow.
In the pitch-black surroundings, these lights were insignificant.
Xu Qing calmly walked down the steps step by step. He didnt want to wait until dawn because there was no difference between day and night to him.
However, as time passed, he was worried that his memories would become blurry again. Hence, he planned to take action immediately.
He wanted to see the prisoners from the fourth to the twelfth.
Just like that, in the silence and darkness, Xu Qing arrived at the 57th floor of the Prison Department. He arrived in front of the greenish-black cell gate of D132 and pushed it open.
Are there fourth to twelfth prisoners or not?!
Amidst the creaking sounds echoing in the silence, Xu Qing expressionlessly walked in. With a bang, the gate closed.
D132 was as pitch-black as ever.
The moment he walked in, Xu Qing faintly felt someone in the cages looking at him. At the same time, the little boys figure also appeared beside him. Its eyes were filled with helplessness and concern.
Xu Qing noticed the boys expression and frowned.
He had come here this time because of this gaze!
When he checked the jade slip earlier, he discovered that there was no sign of the little boy in the recording. However, he remembered the helpless look in the other partys eyes.
That was why he came here late at night. His goal was to find out why the little boys gaze was like this.
This was his only goal.
Whats here? Xu Qing lifted his right wrist and looked at the little boy.
The little boy opened its mouth and seemed to say something. However, no matter what it said, Xu Qing couldnt hear him. It was as though they were in different time and space.
Even though Xu Qing used many methods, such as writing, he was still unable to communicate with the little boy. In the end, when the dawn was about to appear, Xu Qing sighed softly and gave up.
He glanced at D132 once again, his gaze sweeping past the 14 prisoners. Everything was normal.
Hence, he turned around and prepared to leave. However, the instant his hand touched the cell gate, Xu Qing suddenly showed a hint of confusion.
I came here late at night just to communicate with luck? This isnt in line with my personality!
I could have done it during the day when I am on duty. Why did I come at night?
I... seem to have forgotten some things.
Xu Qing mumbled and turned to look at D132. It was the same as in his memories.
Thats not right! Xu Qings eyes gleamed.
My memory isnt that bad, but I just cant remember...
Could it be that some kind of power has affected me?
When I was coming here, I might not have been affected, so I came. However, after entering this place, I forgot my motive... In that case, I should have discovered some clues.
As he looked, he suddenly opened his storage bag. He rummaged through it and after carefully checking every item, he took out a bamboo slip.
A large number of words were densely engraved on this bamboo slip.
Xu Qing frowned. He was familiar with the bamboo slip but he didnt remember any words on it. Hence, he checked it carefully. As he read, his expression changed.
