The sound of conversation in her ears faded away, and instead of the arranged circle and the unconscious woman in front of her, Jiu saw a narrow passage and a middle-aged man walking in front of her.

On both sides of the passage, there are cells that look like prisons.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in the corridor, cries for help or frantic whispers from time to time in the compartment, someone leaned in front of the small window of the iron door of the cubicle, and just stared at her directly.

"Between Prayers."

The faithful gave this cramped and dark cell a sacred name.

Its purpose is to gather the believers who are ready for the Advent rites, and of course, if they are not ready, then the other believers will imprison them here and change their minds little by little.

And these are not memories that belong to Jiu.

She had never been here before, and she didn't know that Prayer Between Prayers existed, and a flood of memories from someone was flooding her brain.

Similar feelings have been felt before.

It was when she first came into this world, and the memories of an old housekeeper who was more than one hundred and a half years old were displayed in front of her eyes in a short period of time, including the Nan family who helped him when he was poor, and also the fact that he witnessed the birth of the eldest lady of the Nan family, and the companionship of growth all the way, until Qi Lian entered the Nan family, and all these memories came to an end when he watched the eldest lady jump from the upper floor to the end.

The last time she came, Jiu just watched all this happen indifferently, and at this moment, she suddenly remembered those fragments, and she understood the emotions surging at that time.

Hatred.

unforgettable, leading people to plunge into the forbidden fruit of darkness.

Something must have gone wrong, as a Protoss, she has already removed these unnecessary shackles, and she will neither be happy nor angry, let alone hate.

Because of this, she was able to communicate normally with the other party calmly when she saw Gu Yun.

Not to be swayed by emotions is an innate ability of the Protoss, and the presiding judge said that it is a gift left by the ancestors in order to keep them from being affected by natural disasters.

"Let's go inside."

Jiu was pushed into the confinement room at the end of the hallway, the room was extremely small, with only a table and a bed, and there were no windows in the room, and when the iron door was closed, the small window on the door was all the light source in the room.

However, when all the light sources were gone, Jiu seemed to see something else.

The room suddenly became spacious, the floor was full of haystacks, and there was a commotion outside the closed door, and she seemed to hear the cries of the villagers, and the temperature around her became hotter.

It was as if something was burning, and there was a smell of burnt paste in the air.

Jiu remembered that this was the stable in the village.

Hey?

Village?

And where is the village?

Jiu was stunned for a moment, and she quickly realized that what she was seeing was neither the memory of the old butler nor the little boy's mother, and through the vents in the roof of the stables, she recognized the sky red with flames.

It was as if this memory had always been somewhere in her memory.

"Hey, hey, new kid!"

As the call came from next door, the surroundings returned to the appearance of a confinement room, and seeing that she did not respond for a long time, the person next door knocked on the wall with a "knock", and the person next door persevered to get her attention.

"Do you hear me?"

"I can hear you."

"Great, you probably didn't know the rules here."

"Rules?"

"That's right, the rule is from now on, no matter what those people say to you, you don't believe them!"

Jiu didn't see the appearance of the person next door, and when she was escorted in just now, the person who was locked next door didn't stare at her from the window of the iron door like everyone else.

"In the days that follow, the gang will try to get you to complete a ritual, and if you promise to complete the ritual, they will let you go...... But these are traps! Once that ritual is complete, the only ones who can leave here are your body, and they'll let the monsters possess you and then act like nothing happened. ”

"How do you know?"

"It's not important, it's important, it's going to be a tough and long struggle, but you have to remember who you are, and no matter what happens, don't forget that – okay, now tell me, what's your name."

"Qin Ran."

It was not Jiu who answered the other party, but the owner of this body.

Including the conversation just now, it is a part of this body's memory, and it is also everything that Qin Ran has seen, heard, and felt with his own eyes.

And then, Jiu finally understood Marianne's advice.

In this memory, she felt the warmth and coldness for the first time, noticed the alternation of day and night, understood the taste of loneliness, the small and dark space drove many people crazy, and she witnessed the changes of other people.

As time passed, most people became silent, and after the silence, there was an even more frantic outburst, and through the door of the confinement chamber, Jiu heard gibberish, heard the crash, and someone was dragged out of the confinement chamber with a bloody head, and never returned.

Believers open their cells three times a day.

From the initial gentle persuasion, to the later indifferent questioning, once she gave a negative answer, the believers would put her back in the confinement cell, lock the iron door, and leave.

And whenever the believer appeared, the voice of the man next door would follow.

He asked her name over and over again until the believer left disappointed, and the voice would not stop.

Strangely, Jiu had never seen a believer open the door of the confinement room next door, nor had he ever interrupted the man's inquiry.

Day after day, finally one day, when the believer opened the door of Qin Ran's confinement room again, she didn't pay attention to the incessant inquiries from next door, loneliness and panic drained her will, and she finally gave an affirmative answer.

Then, the believers took her out of the prison, washed the dirt off her body, and led her into a palatial room where she was dressed up, and in the center of the room was the familiar ritual circle of Jiu.

Jiu had witnessed all the changes, but her feelings were different from Qin Ran's.

As early as in the Hundred Secret Realm, she had tasted the taste of loneliness, and a few days of confinement were not enough to kill her will, she silently watched Qin Ran enter the magic circle with the support of the believers, and stood in the center of the magic circle.

Immediately after, the spell sounded.

The boundless darkness swept her consciousness in.

It seems that this is the end of Qin Ran's memory.

Jiu couldn't help but be a little disappointed that she hadn't been able to find any useful information in this memory other than the stable she had originally recalled.

However, her task is completed, according to Marianne, Qin Ran's memory is still there, which means that she still has the possibility of waking up.

Let's go.

Jiu opened her eyes, and the bright sunlight outside the window made her feel a little uncomfortable.

As a Protoss, she was actually uncomfortable by the sun?

Despite the doubts in her heart, Jiu said, "Go check it out, she should be awake soon." ”

"What are you talking about?"

The answer to Jiu was a familiar and gentle tone, and the moment the voice sounded, Jiu's eyes widened involuntarily.

"Get up, Gosya."

"If you don't get up, you'll be late for Potions class."
