Staring at Aventurine, Xing remained silent, but silence is often the best explanation. Aventurine nodded and said:
"Well, I understand. Before I leave, how about playing a game? It's very simple. Guess which hand of mine the chips are in. Just treat it as acquaintance, so that you can better understand my personality and the way I do things..."
Aventurine took out the chips.
"Ding..."
The chips were thrown into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by two clasped hands lying in front of Xing.
"Left or right? Get ready, I'm going to reveal the answer. Oh, I don't think I asked you which side to choose? But it doesn't matter."
Aventurine was playing with the chips in his hands and walked towards the star.
"Friend, the game has begun. Make a deal with me, you can't refuse, there is no reason..."
Xing looked at Aventurine who was approaching step by step, then lowered his head and looked at his hand. The chip that Aventurine was playing with just now suddenly appeared in his hand. Looking up at Aventurine, he had taken off his glasses and was only one step away from the star.
"There is no room..."
At this time, a person suddenly walked over to the door, looked at Aventurine and Xing, and said with an unhappy expression:
"Hey! What are you doing in my room?"
Aventurine turned around and looked at the person who came. She was a tall woman with long purple hair, dressed coolly, and a large sword at her waist.
Aventurine smiled and said to Xing:
"Awesome, my friend. How long have you been here at Penacony? You have already learned how to invite people to join you. Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to remind you that this place is a mixed bag, and there are too many people with bad intentions. Remember to be careful, for example, remember to close the door. I'm going to take the first step. I wish you a happy stay..."
Aventurine left, leaving only Xing and this unknown woman in the room.
The star looks at the woman, and the woman looks at the star.
The two sides were silent for a while, and Xing took the lead and asked:
"Have we met somewhere?"
The woman didn't speak. After a while, the woman took the initiative and said:
"Why don't you leave?"
Xing looked confused, what happened?
"Huh?"
"This is my room."
The woman looked at the shocked Xing and said doubtfully:
"Did I go to the wrong place? This shouldn't be the case. Before disturbing you, I checked the room number again and again... Could it be the wing... No, the building number is also wrong? Sorry, this hotel is too big, and the corridor layout is also very similar. If you don't pay attention, you will lose your way..."
Xing was still confused, but then the woman said something inconsistent with what she just said:
"Anyway, I hope you're okay. It's time for me to go back to my room. But before I leave, can I ask you one more question? It may sound weird or even rude to you, but I want to know... where have we met?"
Xing was complaining in his mind, because even though he had just asked, this woman insisted on saying it herself.
But she nodded based on the vague dream.
"It seems like it's in a dream?"
The woman also seemed to be lost in thought. After a while, she said with certainty:
"Yes, it's a dream. I had a dream on the way here, and you seemed to be in the dream... Something seemed to flash through my mind... Xing, this is your name, right? Nice to meet you."
Xing instantly became alert, but he didn't tell her his name.
"How do you know my name?"
The woman just smiled and said:
"Have you forgotten? The gentleman said before leaving that I am Path of Remembrance. It's not good, but it doesn't mean that you have forgotten what happened a few minutes ago."
Then, the woman introduced herself to Xing:
"Pathstrider, Acheron... This is how they call me. You can use it as you like. We should meet again."
"Finally, let me give you some advice... There is a type of people who have the will and belief to die, but do not intend to use it in the right way. And on that gentleman's face, I saw a familiar look. If you have a knife, you will always cut something, and before a gambler loses everything, he will definitely sink his boat and make a desperate move... I can only say this. Before you make a choice, you should know this. Farewell..."
After saying that, Acheron left without looking back.
Although Xing felt twists and turns, fortunately he could finally fall asleep... Why is Acheron back?
"It's so quick to meet again..."
Star said.
"Well..."
Acheron looks a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, can you tell me how to get back to the lobby? The corridors around here look too similar..."
"This way, then go out and turn right, then go straight to the elevator, click on the first floor, and then go through the corridor facing you."
The star points the way for Acheron.
"Thank you very much."
Acheron Thank you again.
Xing returned to the room, took a deep breath, and then began to operate the dream pool to enter the dreamland according to Dream Passport's description.
At this time, Acheron was still in the corridor on this floor.
"Just now... which way did Xing say it came from?"
"Pretend to be Pathstrider? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down for the rest of your life?"
At this time, a female voice came.
Acheron suddenly turned around, but saw a little girl with double braids and a pair of blue eyes.
Acheron was stunned. The person in front of her... no, it couldn't be her! She obviously... obviously died in Izumo Country...
"A Chong... is that you?..."
(ps: Self-set, just think of it as Kiana from Izumo Country<(__)>)
Just as Acheron was about to get closer, he saw the girl ducking away, and Acheron's hand stopped in mid-air.
"What? Chong? Did you recognize the wrong person? Also, what did you just do in my friend's room?"
The girl is clearly Bai Sheng. Just now, Huohuo suddenly became interested and begged Bai Sheng to give him two braids.
"You're not her... I'm sorry, I lost my temper. I was just asking for directions back to the lobby. I just went to the wrong room."
Acheron said. Like, they are so similar, the hairstyle, the voice, the color of the eyes...
(ps: picture)
"You still haven't answered my question. You are not Pathstrider."
Bai Sheng No matter what this woman is thinking, she has more Path Energy in her body than she does! He is already half a Star God! Only the deliberately disguised Star Gods or the strongest Emanator can reach this level.
"I'm sorry, due to some special reasons, I can't tell you, but, I didn't do anything to your friend, I really just asked for directions, and I went to the wrong room. I... have a heartfelt request..."
Acheron said.
"What?"
Bai Sheng looked at Acheron, and if he really made a move, he could beat her with enough force. The Path Energy in her body still wants to be endless, but it seems like there is no end at all. Bai Sheng has guessed in the direction of [The Nihility], but that is [The Nihility]. How can there be Emanator? This is no longer meaningless.
"Can you take me to the lobby? I'm lost. I will reward you when the matter is completed."
Acheron said...
