Lan Jiwan was still talking, her voice carrying a hint of curiosity, completely devoid of the previous cry: "Are we going to find Luo Mingzhi now?"
He Kao: "If she doesn't know, let's let her know. You just stand aside and don't reveal yourself... and don't speak either, otherwise it will feel like haunting in the middle of the night."
...
Luo Mingzhi was sitting in the room in a daze, her mind numbly lost its ability to think, yet inexplicably she felt a warm current rise from within her body, very weak but continuous, soothing her internal organs comfortably.
The feeling of stiffness in her body slowly dissolved, from body to mind, her head was no longer so sluggish, she picked up her phone once again and looked at the ssages on it, gradually realizing the predicant she faced.
Sadness welled up inside her again. She didn't know what happened to Jiaobide, mysteriously disappeared, and what mistake she made to end up in this situation?
At this mont, it seed the wind blew the door open, then it closed again.
She was startled, had she forgotten to close the door earlier? She walked over to close the door and turned on the light in passing, when she sat down and lifted her eyes, she opened her mouth wanting to scream.
A man inexplicably appeared in the room, standing there looking down at her.
Luo Mingzhi opened her mouth, but there was no scream. Because the man raised his hand and pointed, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression that left her unable to move or make sound, only barely able to breathe.
He Kao didn't appear in his real form, nor as the frequently used Feng Zilong as Hidden Moth, but as a criminal he had seen in the southern Sawa Country who had been eliminated by Chang'an Residence.
The room wasn't big, besides the chair Luo Mingzhi sat on, there was only a stool. He Kao sat down, speaking slowly: "Teacher Luo, I know you've encountered quite a lot recently, and it's hard to explain, telling others, no one would believe."
For instance, the disappearance of Jiaobide, clearly things you didn't do were captured on surveillance."
To clarify these matters, first requires a self-introduction. I am a sorcerer. As for what a sorcerer is, what you have encountered, that is a long story."
But no worries, the night is still long, I can slowly explain..."
Luo Mingzhi was unable to move or speak, her throat only emitting short, strange sounds, showing fearful eyes trying hard to struggle, yet unable to make any unnecessary movents.
Gradually, perhaps because she couldn't struggle and had to give up, or maybe He Kao's voice carried a calming power, or attracted by the content he narrated, she finally cald down.
He Kao introduced the origins of sorcerers, technique, and the Magic Sect, as well as the history and current situation of the Xiao Alliance, but besides Jiaobide, he did not ntion specific nas.
For example, he didn't ntion i Guyu's na, only saying that the Magic Sect had an elder co to Qi Yuan in seclusion... The background introduction was only to explain the conflicts between both parties, leading to the revelation of Jiaobide's identity.
Jiaobide was originally a covert agent sent by the Xiao Alliance to the Eastern Country, responsible for ssage liaison and espionage, providing information to Xiao Alliance headquarters to assist in assassinations.
But his conspiracy was exposed by the Magic Sect, the Xiao Alliance's assassination plot failed, Jiaobide was captured and taken away. As for later soone breaking into Luo Mingzhi's room at night for questioning, was likely sent by the Xiao Alliance to investigate the matter.
Many inside details were not only new to Luo Mingzhi, but also for Lan Jiwan to understand so thoroughly for the first ti.
He Kao finally said: "I ca today only to let you know—what exactly you have experienced. Otherwise, you'll never understand for the rest of your life."
"I can now lift the technique restraining you, you can ask questions, but please don't react too strongly."
Luo Mingzhi felt she could move and speak, she didn't scream but moved her body, after a mont hoarsely asked: "How can I believe you?"
He Kao: "It doesn't matter whether you believe or not, the fact is as it is. Can you understand?"
Luo Mingzhi stamred: "I read novels, watch dramas often... but how can you prove it?"
He Kao said nothing, just stood up and turned in a circle.
Luo Mingzhi stared at him wide-eyed, mouth agape, only to see He Kao's clothes unchanged, but his appearance suddenly transford into Jiaobide's likeness, even his figure was remarkably similar.
He just stood facing Luo Mingzhi for a few seconds, then turned again, reverting to his original appearance before sitting back down.
After ten seconds or maybe half a minute, Luo Mingzhi, trembling, pointed her finger at him: "You, you, you are that person!"
He Kao nodded: "Teacher Luo is very smart, and reacts quickly! Yes, that person is ."
"The operation to capture Jiaobide was carried out following my orders. The executor beca your appearance, captured and took away Jiaobide, recorded by surveillance when coming and going."
"I'm sorry for dragging you into this, later I heard that you were taken as a pri suspect by the police, so I devised a plan to appear publicly once again as Jiaobide, indirectly clearing your suspicion."
Luo Mingzhi, trembling voiced: "Do you want to thank you then?"
He Kao shook his head: "My intent wasn't so; only to do what I believe should be done. As for you, understanding the truth should clarify you're being used, but not entirely blaless.
