"Da da da, da da da..."

In the darkness, the sound of horse hooves gradually became clearer from far to near.

"Palace Master, the sacrificial ceremony has been prepared."

The servant in green robes bowed deeply to the girl in red robes. Even if he tried his best to suppress it, he could still hear the cry in his voice.

"Yes." The girl responded softly with a cold look on her face.

She looked at her still youthful and bright cheeks in the bronze mirror, touched it lightly with her fingers, and was shocked to realize that the once bright eyes had lost their vivid light.

The inaudible sigh was like a small hallucination, but it hit the servant's heart like a heavy hammer, and his kneeling body trembled violently.

As if he mustered up great courage, he took a few steps forward on his knees, holding a corner of the long tail of the red dress with trembling fingers. His voice was full of panic and praying: "Palace Master, can you... ..”

He opened his mouth, and tears fell first, hitting the exquisite embroidery on the tail of the Chinese clothes, quickly leaving a small mark. He was so flustered that he quickly wiped it with his sleeve.

His throat was blocked, and he was so full of words that he couldn't utter a single word.

What could he say?

Begging her not to go? Please ask her not to care about the common people? Or beg her... not to die?

It took three years. Everything for the sacrificial ceremony was ready. So many strangers were ready to sacrifice their lives. How could they not fire their arrows?

He is just a little person who is as insignificant as dust. How can he have the right to say anything about the matters of big people?

In the end, he could only let go of his hand in silence.

There were two shallow wrinkles on the corner of the clothes that he had grabbed, but the owner of the clothes didn't care. Her white hands caressed the hairpins in her hair, and with a gentle squeeze, she removed a bead and threw it casually in front of him.

"Jiang Lu, take it and leave the palace."

Jiang Lu lowered his head and stared at the bead.

The Night Pearl was brought back by Lord Chu Yan from the top of the South China Sea. There are only three of them in the world. People in the palace often joked that these were the tears of the South China Sea sharks. They were extremely precious and could guarantee his wealth and peace of mind in this life.

Can......

He held the bright white bead tightly and buried his head lower, almost touching the ground.

"I want to go with you," he said.

Yes, he is also a stranger, and he also has the power of a stranger. Even though his ability is really weak compared to the Palace Master, he still has one more strength, one more person, and one more memory. He can deal with what the Palace Master is planning. It will be of some help.

"No need." The girl's red lips parted slightly, which was the rejection he expected.

But he shook his head and repeated stubbornly: "I will go with you."

This was the first and only time in the past twenty years that he had disobeyed her instructions.

He would follow her, no matter what the path ahead.

The girl said no more, walked out of the palace, and got into the carriage with the help of a maid who was also wearing a blue robe.

The car curtain fell, covering the girl's dark eyes like shining stones. The tassels on the curtain swayed twice, causing the hearts of others to sway twice for no reason.

A memory slide appeared in Qin Miao's mind. This time the picture was extremely clear. It was from the first perspective, not the third perspective.

The girl still had a face exactly like hers. She could feel her thoughts and the thoughts of everyone around her. It felt like...reading minds.

It was too real. It was completely different from the previous memory fragments that were forced into her brain. This time, the picture was more like something that had always been buried deep in her soul, something that truly belonged to her.

Is she...me?

The me in the past, in a certain life?

Am I planning some big event, setting up some big chess game?

If it was just some vague guesses before, this time, Qin Miao was almost certain.

But what was she planning in the past?

She couldn't remember, and the more she tried to think about it, the more headache she got.

Before she could think of something, the picture in her mind turned and she was already standing in the sacrificial field.

In the past, she had watched from a third perspective several times in the distance. She only knew that the blood-red formation in the center of the sacrificial site exuded mysterious and powerful power.

However, this time she was really in it, and she suddenly discovered that the magic circle was filled with bright red blood.

Her eyes slowly moved up, and she saw many people wearing various costumes.

There were many different auras emanating from them. Those auras made Qin Miao feel extremely familiar. What was more familiar to her than the auras was the appearance of those people.

Blood was constantly flowing out from their fingertips, pulled by an inexplicable attraction, falling into the patterns carved on the altar, and finally gathered at her feet.

The moment the blood flow approached her, the energy in the blood was absorbed instantly, and it dried up in the blink of an eye. Then a steady stream of blood flow came in to replenish it, as if it would never stop.

At the front of the crowd, a gorgeous-looking woman with a hot figure winked at her. Her red lips opened and closed. Although she made no sound, Qin Miao clearly understood her mouth shape: "A Zheng , see you in the future.”

The woman's figure gradually blurred and split, first turning into three indistinguishable male and female figures, and then dissipated one by one.

"Chu Yan..." Qin Miao heard herself murmuring and responded: "See you in the future."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Yan completely disappeared from her sight. Then, Qin Miao saw the person standing behind Chu Yan.

It was a very tall man, and the blood flowing on his wrist was glowing with golden light. Seeing Qin Miao's eyes falling on him, he raised his other hand to wave to her.

Qin Miao is very familiar with that light and aura.

"guard".

Suddenly, she smiled, and then sighed, feeling a little relieved, and her eyes became more determined.

A gust of wind blew by, blowing her waterfall-like hair into the air, and her sleeves fluttered, revealing the embroidered flowers with gold and silver threads on them. Like a crane, independent and lifelike.

As if feeling something, a gaze that was completely different from the others fell on her, very obvious.

She raised her head to look diagonally forward, and looked at an illusory figure standing there in the distance.

The figure was trembling slightly, and she could clearly feel the other person's emotions, inquiry, confusion, doubt...

That's herself in modern clothes.

A light seemed to flash in Qin Miao's mind, and she suddenly remembered that day.

That was the first time her consciousness came to this sacrificial site. When she saw the woman named Qin Zheng, she glanced at her from afar. Then, her "Absolute Dominance" broke through level 4.

"It turns out, that's what it is..."

She suddenly realized it and slowly closed her eyes.
