Qin Siyang looked at her. "Didn't you want me to become the array master?"
"Of course."
Ada smiled.
It was the first time she had smiled.
"But only once you become the array master can I sacrifice you."
Qin Siyang frowned. "So who exactly are you?"

At the same time, the Sacrificial Seal behind Bedel pressed down.
"The sacrifice begins."
Her voice echoed throughout the
