Nani returned to the dormitory with great excitement, he quietly undressed and went to bed but couldn't sleep, turning over and over Nani heard the stone spirit humming under the pillow, he reached out and took the stone spirit out.

"My lord, you seem to be very happy, is there anything happy about it?" Shi Zhiling asked, "You went to see that demon senior alone, I'm worried about you!"

"Haha, thank you Stone Spirit, I really encountered a pie in the sky!" Nani was very excited, he told the Stone Spirit about what happened at night, originally thought that the Stone Spirit would also shout excitedly, but the Stone Spirit was silent after hearing it.

"Stone Spirit, what's wrong, is there any problem, why don't you speak?"

"My lord, I won't tell you, I know about the Midnight Ancestral Hall, and I stayed at the school you used to study because of the Midnight Ancestral Hall!"

"Ha, you, you, what did you say, you, tell me about it!"

"Do you want to listen to my story, it's about the Midnight Ancestral Hall, the Ten Thousand Evil Stones, and a man named Hu Yinghao, although it's very bizarre but it's true!"

"What Midnight Ancestral Hall, Ten Thousand Evil Stones, and Hu Yinghao!!" Nani was stunned, of course, this was what he wanted to know the most, but he didn't expect that the experience of the Stone Spirit was all involved

"Alas, I don't know where to start, it's been too long!" The tone of the stone spirit is very similar to that of an old man in the twilight of his childhood, "Didn't the adults mention the Ten Thousand Evil Stones, in fact, I am the embodiment of the Ten Thousand Evil Stones!"

"Ah, you, you, you're the Stone of All Evils!" Nani almost bit his tongue in shock, he never thought that he actually had a priceless little monster in his hand.

"But I have nothing to do with the 'Divine Discussion Point' anymore, because I am only a spiritual existence now, and my existence is meaningless to those who need the Divine Consultation Point!" "To be exact, I am a consciousness that has been detached from the Ten Thousand Evil Stones!"

"I don't know how the Stone was formed or mined, because I was already somewhere in China when I became self-aware. I don't know how I managed to break away from the Stone of All Evils, or why I survived, but that's what it is...... I just kept wandering in the state of a spirit body, and for a long time I found that I was different from other creatures, I didn't have **...... So I started thinking about how I came to be, where my hometown was, and I kept looking and searching, until one day I met that person......"

The stone spirit's words made Nani even more curious, and he couldn't help but ask, "Who is that person!"

"He's a human being, but he can see me as a spirit and greet me...... I was very strange at the time, this person was not only not afraid of me, but also talked to me, he said that his name is Hu Yinghao, and he is studying the Ten Thousand Evil Stones", the tone of the Stone Spirit suddenly changed, and he seemed to enjoy that time, "That person said that I am the only existence that can leave the 'Ten Thousand Evil Stones'!"

"Get out of the 'Stone of All Evils'!" Nani was shocked.

"Yes, leave the 'Stone of All Evils'!" said the Spirit of the Stone, "The man said that the Stone of All Evils was an ore with great power mined from the lake of blood in the City of Eternal Night, and the power contained in the ore was so strong that the stone had the ability to think, but the ore had been haunted by the idea of where it came from since it broke away from its mother...... So most of the stones changed, and they began to tempt youkai and humans to commit suicide or kill each other...... Since then, the name 'Stone of All Evils' has been spread......"

"What a horrible legend," Nani felt a chill run down her back, "but why haven't you become bad!"

"Because I have escaped from the Stone of All Evils...... I can walk on my own, I haven't lost my purpose, I can try to pursue it on my own...... So even after a thousand years, I haven't lost ......" Stone Spirit's tone was full of pride, "but when I knew where I came from, I was very disappointed, I was really just a spiritual being, I am not a flesh-and-blood youkai, I am not even the lowest youkai who has no intelligence but has a body...... I told someone what I thought, and he told me that I was the most valuable being he had ever seen, and that if I would go back with him and let him use me as a test subject, he would make me feel worthy...... However, I refused!"

The Stone Spirit suddenly stopped, Nani listened intently, he waited quietly for the Stone Spirit to continue, he knew that the Stone Spirit must have been very sad at that time.

"The millennium search has made my mind more like that of an ordinary human, and it is a great shame for me to be a test subject...... So I told somebody what I thought, and he smiled kindly, and he said I was like a human...... Hehe, this sentence is enough to make me grateful to him for a lifetime...... I've been expecting recognition for thousands of years, and I want people to see me more than just a shadow!"

"Stone Spirit!" Nani held the Stone Spirit tightly in the palm of his hand, he didn't expect the Stone Spirit to have such a bumpy experience, he didn't expect the Stone Spirit to be so strong, and he insisted on his ideals for thousands of years!!

"Nani-sama, I can feel the temperature of your palm...... Thank you!This is the second time I've had such an open conversation, and I'm so happy!" Stone Spirit's voice choked up.

He shouldn't know how to cry, maybe a thousand years of persistence have given him human feelings...... Maybe that's the reward for the Stone Spirit, Nani thought to herself.

"The man told me that if I wanted to continue my quest to become a flesh-and-blood youkai or a human, I could go and find the 'Eternal Night City'...... There are soulless humans everywhere, and if I can be their soul, then my wish will come true, but Eternal Night City needs to have great power to enter, and I am fragile at the time, and I must strengthen my strength...... As he was leaving, he told me that if I could enter the 'Midnight Ancestral Hall' and get the 'Spiritual Word Codex', it would be extremely powerful...... That's why I chose to look for the 'Midnight Ancestral Hall' without hesitation!"

After listening to the words of the stone spirit, Nani felt extremely uneasy, and he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss outside the human world.

"When did this happen?"

"Sixteen Years Ago"

"I've wandered to your city and heard the legend of the 'Midnight Ancestral Hall'!" the Stone Spirit seemed to know what Nani was worried about, and he continued, "I've asked other youkai that no one has searched as hard as I have for thousands of years, because no one believes it anymore...... But I believed, so I kept looking and waiting until I met Nani-sama!!"
