Chapter 276: Cracks
The conversation in his ears gradually disappeared, and there was no longer the arranged magic circles and the unconscious woman in front of him. Jiu saw a narrow passage and the middle-aged man walking in front of her.
On both sides of the passage, there are jail-like compartments.
Hearing footsteps in the corridor, there were calls for help or chaotic murmurs in the compartment from time to time. Someone leaped in front of the small window of the compartment's iron door and stared at her directly.
Between prayers.
Believers gave this narrow and dark cell a divine name.
Its purpose is to gather the believers who are ready to receive the coming ceremony here, and of course, if they are not ready, the other believers will imprison them here and change their minds little by little.
And these are not Jiu's memories.
She had never been here before, and she had no idea of the existence of prayer, and memories from someone were pouring into her brain.
Similar feelings have appeared before.
It was when she first came to this world. The memories of an old housekeeper over a half-year-old were revealed in front of her in a short time, including the help of the Nan family when he was poor, and also witnessing the birth of the Nan family's eldest daughter and the company of growing up until Qi Lian married into the Nan family. All these memories were watched by him as the eldest daughter jumped down from the upper floor and ended.
The last time she arrived, Jiu just watched all this happen indifferently, and at this moment, she suddenly remembered those clips, and she understood the emotions that were surging at that time.
Hate.
Unforgettable, guiding people to the forbidden fruit of darkness.
Something must have happened. As a god, she has already eliminated these unnecessary shackles. She will neither be happy nor angry, and there is no way to talk about hatred.
It is precisely because of this that she can communicate with the other party calmly when she sees Gu Yun.
Not being influenced by emotions is the innate ability of the gods, and the presiding judge said that this is the gift left by our ancestors to prevent them from being affected by natural disasters.
"Get in."
Jiu was pushed into the confinement room at the end of the corridor. The room was extremely small, with only a table and a bed inside. There were no windows in the house. When the iron door was closed, the small window on the door was the entire light source in the house.
However, when all the light sources disappeared, Jiu seemed to see something else.
The room suddenly became spacious, with haystacks piled on the ground, and the closed doors were turbulent. She seemed to hear the cry of the villagers, and the temperature around her became hotter and hotter.
It seemed that something was burning, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.
Jiu remembered that this was the stable in the village.
Huh?
Village?
Where is the village?
Jiu suddenly became stunned. She soon realized that what she saw was neither the memory of the old housekeeper nor the little boy's mother. Through the ventilation vent of the stable ceiling, she recognized the sky dyed red by the flames.
This memory seems to have always existed somewhere in her memory.
"Hey, hey, newcomer!"
As the call came from the next door, the surroundings returned to the confinement room. Seeing that she had not responded for a long time, the person next door knocked on the wall "dongdong", and the person next door persisted in trying to attract her attention.
"Can you hear it?"
"Can hear it."
"That's great. You may not know the rules here just now."
"rule?"
"Yes, the rules are from now on. No matter what those people say to you, don't believe them!"
Jiu didn't see the person next door's appearance. When she was escorted in, the person locked up next door did not look like everyone else and stared at her on the window of the iron door.
"In the days to come, the group will try every means to make you complete a ritual. As long as you promise to complete that ritual, they will let you go... But these are all traps! Once that ritual is completed, only your body can leave here. They will let the monster possess you and then pretend that nothing has happened."
"How did you know?"
"It doesn't matter, it's going to be a tough and long struggle, but you must remember who you are and don't forget this no matter what happens - OK, now tell me what your name is."
"Qin Ran."
The answer to the other party was not Jiu, but the owner of this body.
Including the conversation just now, it is part of this body's memory, and everything Qin Ran has seen, heard, and felt with his own eyes.
And then, Jiu finally understood Marian's advice.
In this memory, she felt the warmth and coldness for the first time, noticed the alternation of day and night, and understood the taste of loneliness. The narrow and dark space drove many people crazy, and she witnessed the changes of others with her own eyes.
As time passed, most people became taciturn, and after silence, they broke out even more crazily. Through the door of the confinement room, Jiu heard nonsense and the sound of impact. Someone was dragged out of the confinement room by the believers and never came back again.
Believers open their cells three times a day.
From the beginning of persuasion and then the indifferent questioning, once she gave a negative answer, the believers would lock her in the confinement room again, lock the iron door and leave.
And whenever the believer appears, the voice of the man next door will come.
He asked her name over and over again, and the voice would not stop until the believer left disappointedly.
Strangely, Jiu had never seen a believer open the door of the confinement room next door, nor had he interrupted the man's inquiry.
Day after day, finally one day, when the believer opened the door of Qin Ran's confinement room again, she no longer cared about the constant inquiries coming from the next door. Loneliness and panic wiped out her will, and she finally gave a positive answer.
Then, the believer took her out of the prison, helped her wash away the dirt on her body, and took her into a magnificent house to dress up. In the center of the house was Jiu's familiar ritual magic circle.
Jiu witnessed all the changes, but her feelings were different from those of Qin Ran.
As early as in the Hundred Secret Realms, she had tasted the taste of loneliness. A few days of confinement was not enough to destroy her will. She silently watched Qin Ran walk into the magic circle with the help of the believers and stood in the center of the magic circle.
Immediately afterwards, the spell rang.
The boundless darkness swept her consciousness into it.
It seems that this is the end of Qin Ran’s memory.
Jiu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Apart from the stable she recalled first, she was unable to find any other useful information in this memory.
However, her mission was completed. According to Marianne, Qin Ran's memory still exists, which means that she still has the possibility of awakening.
Let's leave.
Jiu opened her eyes, and the bright sunshine outside the window made her feel a little uncomfortable.
As a god, can she actually be discomfort by the sun?
Despite his doubts, Jiu said, "You guys go check it out, she should be awake."
"What are you talking about?"
The answer to Jiu was a familiar and gentle tone. When the voice sounded, Jiu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Get up quickly, Gosya."
