"Chiyou?"
Hearing the girl's answer, Kiana was stunned.
"Chiyou is the one that was sealed five thousand years ago..."
Fang Zheng had only just finished telling them the story. Even if Kiana's memory was like that of a grasshopper, she could not have forgotten it so quickly.
"That's right. We are currently inside the giant beast Chiyou. Young warriors, I'm sorry for dragging you into a battle that was originally mine..."
As she spoke, the girl raised her hand, and a ball of golden light appeared.
"This is all the strength I have left. I give it to you. Please make sure to seal Chiyou once more..."
After saying that, the girl closed her eyes, and her body gradually began to fade away... However, Fang Zheng grabbed her just then.
"Hey, wait, miss. Don't be in such a hurry to die. I still need to ask you something!"
"...???"
Caught off guard by Fang Zheng's utterly unexpected action, the girl froze. She opened her eyes in confusion and looked at him.
"...You need something?"
"That's right. You are... Miss Jilin?"
At Fang Zheng's question, a trace of sorrow appeared on the girl's face.
"I am merely Jilin's lingering will left here. The real Jilin has already fallen into darkness... and become Honkai's pawn..."
"Honkai's pawn?"
Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow, while Kiana and the others also looked at the girl in surprise.
"Why? Wasn't she a hero who sacrificed herself to seal Chiyou?"
"Heroes are people too... During the time she was sealed away, she constantly longed for someone to find her. But in the end, loneliness and isolation filled her heart. She has fallen into the abyss of despair..."
As she said this, the girl's body swayed.
"I'm sorry, I can't hold on any longer..."
"Get some rest first.
