Chapter 573: Heaven Knows How He Managed to Endure the Past Seven Years
Chi Jiao fell silent after hearing what the mirror spirit said.
The ending was really unexpected.
The information she had managed to get from the mirror spirit was pitifully little.
Fortunately, she could be certain that the mysterious person had a Soul Stone.
“How many years have you been a mirror spirit?” Chi Jiao asked.
“It’s been seven years,” Shen Xing replied.
By its calculations, it was already 12 years old.
For seven years, it had lived inside the mirror, inside a dark world that ordinary people couldn’t see.
It sometimes felt that it should have died when it fell into the dry well at the age of five.
If it had a choice, it would rather reunite with its parents in heaven.
It didn’t want to exist in this world like a monster.
“Why did that person choose to give you to Chen Kai?” Chi Jiao couldn’t understand this part.
Chen Kai was just an ordinary person.
What was the motivation behind all of this?
“He wanted me to gradually corrode Chen Kai’s consciousness,” Shen Xing said expressionlessly. “He wanted me to turn Chen Kai into a lunatic. He’s a lunatic himself.”
“Do you remember what that person looked like?” Chi Jiao asked.
“That person dressed very strangely. When I first met him, he was even wearing a clown mask. In this day and age, one is free to dress however one wishes. I only met him a few times, but he was always dressed in very outlandish outfits. Sometimes he would cover his face, other times he would put on exaggerated makeup. I can’t tell what he actually looks like,” Shen Xing replied.
Chi Jiao increasingly felt that this person was most probably quite abnormal when she heard that.
The consequences were unimaginable if the Soul Stone landed in the hands of a lunatic.
“Oh, right. My mother left me a stone before she passed away. He took it away,” Shen Xing said. “If you can find him, please help me get that stone back. It’s the only thing my mother left me.”
“What did that stone look like?” Chi Jiao asked anxiously.
“It was black and blue. Its shape was irregular, but its color was very beautiful. My parents and I went to the beach for a holiday together. My mother picked it up there. It was so beautiful that my mother drilled a hole in it and gave it to me as a necklace pendant.”
Black and blue stone. It was the signature appearance of a Soul Stone.
Chi Jiao could roughly guess how the 117 lost its Soul Stone.
“Do you want to return to that person’s side?” Chi Jiao asked.
Shen Xing instinctively shook his head.
That person had sealed it for nearly seven years.
Only the heavens knew how he managed to endure the past seven years.
“Then stay by my side and be a good spirit,” Chi Jiao said calmly.
“Will there be good food for me to eat here every day?” Shen Xing asked as it rubbed its hands.
It hadn’t eaten anything good ever since its parents passed away.
Chi Jiao nodded.
Shen Xing nearly jumped for joy, but it put on a very reserved expression. “Well, I can make do with your place here then.”
Chi Jiao ignored Shen Xing and took out her phone to contact Jiang Shen, asking him to come to White City to meet her as soon as possible.
However, the moment she took out her phone, she saw that she had several missed calls and a message.
The calls were from Huo Chen, and the message was sent by Pei Yao.
Chi Jiao opened the message and read it. There was only a simple sentence on it.
