Chapter 19. Foreign Place

Huang Bao slowly raised his hand to grab the doorknob, then pushed it away. Walking to the side of the bed, checking the condition of the girl who seems to be still asleep. finished checking, he returned to pay attention to the figure of the girl lying in front of him, staring at him for a long time, I don't know what he was thinking.

I don't know since when my consciousness returned, even so, but I don't know why I can't move my whole body, as well as when I try to open my eyes. Tried a few times but still couldn't, as if I had lost control of my own body.

Feeling my body position, it seems that now I am lying on a soft object that I might call a mattress, in a room that is not that big. I don't know, I just feel that way.

The sound of footsteps approaching me, I don't know who it is, but I can feel his every move. I was surprised to find that my senses had become very sharp from before, I could even hear the breath of the person who now seemed to be checking my condition.

Was this man the same man who saved me that time?

My memory is still clear of how Mr. Huang Bao suddenly appeared and forced me to take a pill before losing consciousness, while the hut was under siege.

Lost in my thoughts, suddenly a hot feeling radiated from my feet to the tip of my head, a bright violet light shone right in front of me. I don't know where the light came from.

The eyes that I felt were tightly closed somehow could still feel the glare of the light. It was as if I was in a different room but at the same time still felt the presence of my body.

As the light dimmed, a person appeared. The fainter the light, the clearer the person's existence.

Instantly my body was like being struck by lightning.

'That figure is me? No, no. If I am her, then what am I? '

"Calm down, don't be afraid," said the person who suddenly walked over to me, and hugged me?

Never mind. I really can't describe what I feel right now. I want to make a sound but my throat is stuck, and my voice can't escape my lips.

"Calm down, don't be afraid," he said again, repeating the previous sentence, then releasing her hug on my body.

I can't make a sound and can only nod, resigned.

"After you entered this world, from that moment on I was here, inside you, deep down in your heart. And all my memories before entering Fu Xie Lan's body also came back to me," she said then continued, "I am you, and you are me. We are the same but separate souls."

Suddenly I remembered the sound of voices echoing by the riverbank of the forbidden forest.

"That's right, it's me," she said smiling as if guessing what I was thinking. I can't understand what she said.

How can I have a separate soul?

"Well, maybe you are still confused by all this, but know one thing, you are from this world, the world you were here before was a place to separate you from me."

"I drew your soul here, into this room because I want you to do something," she said again.

Either I have to laugh or cry with the way I am when I hear myself asking me to do something.

"I hope you can immediately remove the seal of your soul completely from your body, I want to be free, I want to come back to you, but I can't. The seal is blocking me,"

'Seal? What seal did she mean? Take it off? How to?' various questions arise in my mind

"I don't know how that happened, but someone seems to have unconsciously removed the seal on my soul. And that's why now only I can communicate with you, maybe you can start with that person," she replied as if she could read my thoughts completely.

"This is all I can tell you, the rest will be your job to find out. Now, you better come back," she said then slowly disappeared.

"And if you want to know your real identity, you can start by finding out about what happened 700 years ago," she added before disappearing completely.

As the figure disappeared, I faintly felt the presence of several people. I slowly tried to open my eyes, and yes, it worked. As I guessed before. I lay on a bed in a not-so-large room.

I saw two men. A short old man whose name I know is Huang Bao, while the other is an old man with tall stature, whom I don't know the identity of.

The two men stared at me closely, as if they were skinning every inch of my body. I was stared at like that felt very uncomfortable.

"Where am I? And who are you?" I asked while directing my gaze to the old man who had a tall posture.
