Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

Chapter 22 World 1: Capture the escaped villain 22

Murong Xue thought for a moment, walked to Murong Yao, patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Murong Yao, maybe your memory is sealed by some force. But it doesn't matter, we will take our time, and we will definitely be able to recover your lost memory."

Shi Qi looked at Murong Yao thoughtfully and suggested: "In this case, we might as well start by investigating this pendant. Maybe it can lead us to find clues."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Shi Qi suddenly said to Murong Xue: "Oh, by the way, I want to ask you, since you said that this jade box will restart every time it is opened, do you know how to open the jade box?"

Murong Xue: "Sorry, I don't know, because every time the jade box is restarted, the method of opening it will change, the location of the jade box will change, and even the number of parts of the jade box will change."

"Idiot, you said that your jade box was taken away by Zhongli Mo and Murong Yue, but I went to their residence and looked for it. They do have this jade box there, but that jade box is not the real jade box. The real jade box should not be in their hands." Murong Xue suddenly thought of the matter about the jade box and said to Zhongli Yuan.

When Zhongli Yuan heard this, he asked Shi Qi: "Uncle, you once said that my jade box was stolen by Murong Yue, what's going on now?"

Shi Qi showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and then said to Zhong Liyuan: "Well, your jade box was indeed stolen by Murong Yue, but I got it back from Murong Yue, so now the real jade box is in my hands."

Zhong Liyuan heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, with both relief at the truth and confusion and gratitude towards Shi Qi's behavior. He sighed softly, with a bit of helplessness and relief in his tone: "So that's how it is, uncle, you lied to me and didn't tell me where the real jade box is. I was thinking about stealing the jade box from Zhong Limo."

Seeing this, Murong Xue quickly interrupted to ease the atmosphere: "Okay, now is not the time to pursue these. Since the jade box is with the emperor's uncle, we may be able to find the key to unlocking Murong Yao's memory seal. Moreover, since the jade box changes every time it is restarted, this change may hide the clue to regaining Murong Yao's memory."

Shi Qi smiled slightly and gently patted Zhong Liyuan's shoulder, signaling him to relax: "Xiao Yuan, I am also considering the overall situation. I am afraid that you will act impulsively. Now that everyone is here, let's study this jade box together and see if we can find a way to help Murong Yao recover her memory."

As she spoke, Shi Qi took out an ancient and exquisite jade box from her arms (actually from the storage space). The box exuded a faint warm luster, as if it contained some mysterious power. She gently placed the jade box on the table, and everyone gathered around, their eyes full of expectation.

Murong Xue observed the jade box carefully, frowning slightly: "This jade box doesn't look much different from before, but since it changes every time it restarts, perhaps we need to find specific conditions to trigger its changes."

"Specific conditions?" Zhong Liyuan repeated thoughtfully, and then he looked at the pendant in Murong Yao's hand, "Could it be related to this pendant? After all, it is the only clear part of Murong Yao's memory."

Murong Yao looked down at the pendant in her hand, with a glimmer of confusion and hope in her eyes. She gently stroked the pendant, as if she could feel a warm force flowing. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, looked up and said: "I remember that before I lost consciousness, this pendant seemed to flash with a strange light, and... I felt a strong sense of calling."

"A sense of summons?" Shi Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Could it be that there is some kind of connection between this pendant and the jade box? Let's try and bring the pendant closer to the jade box."

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this. Murong Yao slowly moved the pendant closer to the jade box, but the jade box did not react at all.

Zhongli Yuan said disappointedly: "It probably has nothing to do with this jade box."

Shi Qi seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said to Murong Xue: "Do you have the jade box of Beiyue Kingdom?"

Murong Xue: "Here, my father gave me the jade box when he made me the crown princess."

Shi Qi said: "Go get it and show it to us. Maybe the jade box can react with this pendant."

"Okay, I'll go find it." Murong Xue said, and walked to where she put the things and took out the jade box from the Kingdom of Beiyue.

I saw that the jade box of Beiyue Kingdom was similar to that of Fengnan Kingdom. Both were simple and exquisite, and the box body exuded a faint warm luster. The difference was that the jade box of Beiyue Kingdom had a "North" character on it, while the jade box of Fengnan Kingdom had a "South" character on it.

Murong Xue placed the jade box on the table, and Murong Yao held the pendant close to the jade box. As the distance between the two shortened, the originally calm jade box suddenly began to vibrate slightly, emitting a low and long humming sound. Then, complex runes began to emerge on the surface of the jade box, radiating light and illuminating the entire room like a dream.

"Look! There's a reaction!" Murong Xue shouted excitedly.

But soon, the jade box returned to calm, and the runes that had just been seen disappeared instantly.

"What's going on? Why are all the things that just appeared gone?" Zhong Liyuan asked with a strange look on his face.

"How to open this jade box is indeed a difficult problem." Shi Qi pondered for a moment, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "However, I remember that ancient books mentioned that some ancient seals or mechanisms often require related blood or specific emotions as keys.

Murongxue, try dropping a drop of blood on it, or try to touch the jade box with your inner strength, and see what happens. Also, Xiaoyuan, try dropping a drop of blood on it, or try to touch the jade box with your inner strength, both of you try it and see if it works. "

Murong Yao took the pendant and placed it between the two jade boxes. Then Zhongli Yuan and Murong Xue each dropped a drop of blood on the jade boxes of their respective countries.

Soon, the jade box responded again. Runes appeared on its surface. As the runes continued to flow, words that people could understand gradually emerged on it. There was a sentence on it, the word "seven" and a map. Then the runes disappeared, leaving behind a yellowed parchment scroll with the map that had just appeared on it.

Murong Xue and Zhong Liyuan looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with surprise and expectation. They gently unfolded the yellowed parchment scroll, and saw that the map drawn on it was intricate, yet extremely accurate, as if it could lead them to find some unknown treasure or secret place. Although the handwriting on the scroll was yellowed, it was still clearly legible, as if it had crossed the boundaries of time and space and presented the ancient secret directly before their eyes.
