This answer greatly exceeded Fang Heng's expectations.
I have never even heard of the name Xia Xi?!
Fang Heng froze on the spot.
This answer was something he had never thought of.
He then asked, "Don't you know? At Haines School, your expression changed obviously when I called out Xia Xi's name. Why is that?"
"Yeah, maybe I felt a little strange when I heard an unfamiliar name. You mistook me for someone else, and you also surprised me."
Gu Qingzhu recalled the situation at that time and explained: "You are very lucky. I happened to see you using the unique method of the demihuman race to enter the game, and then I identified your identity. Otherwise, your end is likely to be the same as those of those
Just like a lackey of the Federation."
Fang Heng frowned.
correct!
Fang Heng thought of something and took out his mobile phone from his backpack.
Although there is no signal and the magnetic field is seriously interfered, Xia Xi's photos are still stored in the phone.
Fang Heng immediately pulled out Xia Xi's photo from his phone and handed it to Gu Qingzhu, "Do you know her? She is Xia Xi."
The moment he saw Xia Xi's photo, Gu Qingzhu's expression changed significantly.
"She, Xia Xi, it turns out she is Xia Xi."
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and thought, "You really recognize her! Who is she?"
"The one who gave me strength, it's a long story."
"Would you like to tell me about it? It may be important to me."
Gu Qingzhu's eyes stayed on Fang Heng for a moment, and gradually fell into memories, "That was a long time ago. I lived in a village outside Red County."
"One peaceful night, the village was massacred by outsiders. My parents asked me to hide in the basement. I heard shouts of death and begging from outside. The village was razed to the ground overnight."
"When I woke up, I had been taken into the federal research institute."
"There are other demihumans like me in the research institute, and they are all imprisoned here. It was only then that I knew the reason why the village was massacred."
"Everything is because of me, because of my demihuman blood."
"In order to study demihumans, the Federation captured us for in vivo experiments."
"In the institute, every move we make every day is under federal surveillance. In order to survive, we can only accept various experiments given to us by the federation."
"At that time, I was the youngest in the group. In order to protect us, the tribesmen scrambled to actively participate in those dangerous experiments. We could only watch helplessly as the tribesmen died in pain one by one after undergoing the experiments.
"
"Even after they die."
Gu Qingzhu recalled the past, with tears faintly appearing in the corners of his eyes, "Their corpses and souls could not find peace. Their corpses were dissected and studied, and their souls were subjected to endless torture."
"My tribe has been trying to resist, and finally one day, we found an opportunity, and the tribe started an unrest within the institute."
"I escaped from the research institute under the protection of my clansmen. To protect us, the clansmen who left me died one by one in front of me. There were 372 companions in total. When we escaped from the research institute, there were only two of us.
ten people."
Having said this, Gu Qingzhu's complexion gradually returned to cold.
"From that time on, we have already carried the hatred of our dead comrades. We didn't do anything wrong. Just because of our blood, we paid the price for it. Is this fair?"
Fang Heng looked at Gu Qingzhu and shook his head gently.
He had also seen some content on the dark web regarding the Federation's research on demi-humans, but he was not sure whether it was true or false.
Gu Qingzhu smiled mockingly, "Perhaps being weak itself is the biggest sin."
"We continued to seek strength and accumulate strength in secret, until one day six years ago, our whereabouts were accidentally leaked, and we were once again pursued by the federation."
"Just when we were desperate, Xia Xi appeared in front of me, and she saved me."
"She told me that I have a trait that she needs. She is willing to give me a chance to gain great power, but if I fail unfortunately, the consequences may be death."
Gu Qingzhu said very lightly: "I accepted her proposal and took the initiative to participate in the ceremony she said."
Hearing Gu Qingzhu's description of the ceremony, Fang Heng's heart suddenly moved.
ceremony!
So Gu Qingzhu also went through the ceremony!
But Gu Qingzhu accepted the ceremony voluntarily.
But he is different.
From some fragmented memories, Fang Heng determined that his predecessor should have been forced to undergo the ritual.
Fang Heng already had a guess in his mind, but he still looked at Gu Qingzhu and asked, "What kind of ceremony is it?"
Gu Qingzhu hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "You don't want to know more. This is also for your safety."
really!
Fang Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.
Demonic species!
Xia Xi has a close relationship with the demon species!
"No, I understand, is it a demon seed? I have also experienced the demon seed ritual."
Gu Qingzhu did not expect Fang Heng to tell this answer and looked at Fang Heng with a surprised look.
"Did you succeed?"
Fang Heng nodded lightly.
Gu Qingzhu's eyes were a little more surprised, and then he looked away again.
"I really envy you. It's a pity that I failed. I was lucky enough to save a life."
Listening to Gu Qingzhu's description, Fang Heng gently clenched his fist again.
Failure...
So am I the experimental subject for the successful ceremony?
Gu Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh, "Although the ceremony failed, Xia Xi still gave me a second chance. She recognized my revenge and gave me a special power."
"What power?"
"Sorry, I promised her not to tell anyone else."
Fang Heng did not ask about the type of power, but changed the question, "How much do you know about Xia Xi?"
"No, I haven't seen her since that ceremony, and I don't know when she will appear in front of me again."
Fang Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Can you find a way to contact her?"
"Yes, I have her contact information." Gu Qingzhu nodded, "But I have never contacted her. My name has always been on the federal wanted list. I don't want to have too much contact with her, for fear of bringing trouble to her.
Go to trouble."
Gu Qingzhu said and looked around again, sighing, "This was also the last time I saw Xia Xi."
Fang Heng suddenly raised his head, "What? Are you talking about this?"
"Well, the ceremony was held here. I remember it very clearly. After the failure of the ceremony, I never contacted Xia Xi again."
Gu Qingzhu looked at Fang Heng again and said, "Fang Heng, I just heard Fana talk about the Federation outside. It seems that our situation is not optimistic."
"Um."
Fang Heng thought, raised his head, and asked, "What can you do?"
