“How could I not know…” Sun Luo stared coldly at Ji Jing.
‘ No, you don’t know.” Ji Jing shook her head casually and smiled.” Otherwise…”
She’s clearly standing right in front of you!”
‘ What?!” Sun Luo was shocked.” In front of what?!”
Sun Luo had an incredible guess in his heart, but he could not believe it at all.
“How is that possible…How did you…” In front of him, Sun Ya was definitely not Huai Meng, and neither was this Daoist priest. Then, there was only…How was this possible?
A huge sense of absurdity enveloped Sun Luo’s heart, as if everything he had carefully planned before had become a joke at this moment.
“How is it impossible?” Ji Jing also found it funny. She could not help but admire Sun Luo’s shocked and twisted expression.” I finally see the Huaimeng that you’ve carefully planned to wake up. Why didn’t you say hello?”
Ji Jing looked at the doll.
“You…” Sun Luo clenched his fists, and his eyes trembled as he looked at the doll.
Ji Jing’s lips curled up as she recalled the story that the doll had told her.” Legend has it that Huaimeng broke the Puppet Master’s curse that prevented her soul from leaving her body. Therefore, rumors of her being alive have never stopped for hundreds of years. Countless people have tried to replicate her path, but none of them have succeeded. Therefore, the rebuttal that she has long failed and disappeared is also very popular.”
Obviously, Sun Luo believed the former. He thought that Huai Meng was still alive, so he carefully planned a whole scheme to use the body of Huai Meng’s descendant to wake her up.
Even… He wanted to control her and obtain the legendary puppet that could give people longevity.
” It’s neither a failure nor a success. As the boldest attempt in her short life, she succeeded in getting herself out of that weak shell, but she failed and fell into a deep sleep. The shell that she hid in has become a piece of broken wood after a hundred years of swaying.” The doll laughed mockingly.” Even she herself has almost forgotten who she is and where she came from.”
Sun Luo, or rather, the person behind Sun Luo, had made the right judgment.
Huaimeng’s descendants were the best tools to wake her up. Unfortunately, they were too late!
Decades ago, the young woman had accidentally picked up a piece of broken wood. The wood looked like a human figure, but its surface was tattered from the ravages of time. She found it very interesting. Her ancestors made dolls, so she took a tool to clean the wood.
Later, many years later, by chance, the woman remembered this wooden figure again and found that making dolls seemed to be a side job for her, a source of income to support her divorce.
The doll was her first rough product, but in the years that followed, the dolls she made became better and better, and she did not forget to modify them.
In the end, the doll had become the most exquisite work that she had spent the most effort on.
The blood that occasionally dripped from her when she was at her most miserable state became the opportunity for the doll to wake up.
‘ What she least expected was that someone would try to wake her up in front of her in such a ridiculous way, right?” The more Ji Jing thought about it, the funnier she felt. She couldn’t help but laugh. In fact, they were still relieved in their hearts. The matter that they were originally afraid of had been resolved.
The doll glared at her angrily. The wooden finger landed on the ring on Sun Ya’s finger. With a little bit of strength, the doll shattered the entire ring.
” Wu–” Ji Jing tacitly picked up a talisman, and the hall was suddenly filled with a strong wind.
The runes on the wall that ordinary people couldn’t see seemed to have been erased by a pencil, disappearing one after another in the strong wind.
It also instantly shattered Sun Luo’s remaining hope.
“What is this…” Sun Ya hurriedly blocked the wind with her hand.
What was going on? Was it resolved now? Everything Sun Luo did was in vain?
Gone, all gone! Sun Luo gritted his teeth, his face extremely dark. The panic in his heart was expanding. He had been played, played, played!
Sun Luo’s chest was heaving up and down. As the creator of the array, he knew best that the arrays he had made were being destroyed one after another.
He had to leave quickly. Otherwise, these two people, these two damn…
“Where do you want to go?” Ji Jing’s cold voice rang out, followed by a huge force that pushed Sun Luo against the wall.
The familiar cold blade once again pressed against Sun Luo’s throat..
