Chapter 822 You're a Genius
Upon realizing that the person approaching was Gao Ming, Bai Xiao's tense nerves finally relaxed, the ghost patterns on his body completely collapsed, and he collapsed in the elderly activity center filled with flower pots.

"These names on your body are... a curse?" Gao Ming frowned and approached. The ghostly markings that the Investigation Bureau had branded on Bai Xiao's body had been replaced by another power. Those black names exuded deep malice, reminding Gao Ming of the terrible experiences in the Dark Shrine: "Where's Number Two? He has the protection of the Blood City's will, how could he have injured you so badly?"

Gao Ming was extremely protective of his own and prepared to dig out Number Two to find out the truth.

“They are not curses, but blessings.” Bai Xiao was very happy to see Gao Ming, as if he had seen a family member: “I obtained the legacy of the first Night Watch in the Dark Shrine. When I left Sin City, I took all the names and medals of the Night Watch with me, but I have never been able to unleash their true power. Fortunately, I had the help of Number Two. He has accumulated all the knowledge of Xin Hu and knows the Night Watch very well.”

In Number Two's view, contacting the savior was the only way out. In order to increase the chances of success, he spared no effort to help Bai Xiao strengthen his power.

Bai Xiao truly lived up to Number Two's trust. Even when being relentlessly pursued by the Unspeakable, he never considered giving up and did everything in his power to help Number Two.

Their repeated brushes with death forged a deep friendship between the two, and Number Two also told Bai Xiao many stories from the past.

In fact, Number Two's brain was ripped out when he was very young. After the bloody night at the orphanage, his world was only the size of a fish tank. Over the years, Bai Xiao was the person who had spoken the most with Number Two.

Two aloof and cold individuals came together because of the same goal, and became close comrades-in-arms under unspeakable and terrifying pressure.

"The first Night Watchman came from Xinhu. He was a very respectable old man. Number Two told me his story, which made me even more convinced of the path I wanted to take." Bai Xiao's arm was grabbed by Gao Ming, and the power of the Blood Immortal began to heal his physical injuries.

"It's good that you're alright." Gao Ming felt that Number Two was about to kidnap Bai Xiao, so it was better to separate the two of them: "You no longer need to hide. With the re-establishment of the Blood City of the Vast Sea, the unspeakable here has become prey."

Gao Ming and Bai Xiao talked for a long time before Number Two's tired voice finally rang out: "It wasn't one of those Blood City Lords' tricks; you actually re-established Han Hai."

"So all I've been saying was that I was an imposter?" Gao Ming spread his five fingers, and the Blood City rules, like a large net, pulled the remnant of Number Two out of Bai Xiao's mind.

"We must be on guard. The deep world is too vast. What if there are unspeakable beings skilled at impersonation?" Number Two's lingering resentment was like a rotten autumn leaf, full of holes, as if it would scatter with a gust of wind.

The dream pattern spread into the lingering spirit of Number Two. After checking Number Two's condition, Gao Ming injected a stream of blood energy into it.

"It's no use, it can't be repaired." Number Two gave a bitter laugh: "My original body is in the hands of that fake Zero at Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals. The current situation is that my original body is about to dissipate."

"You can sense your own body?" Gao Ming didn't put Number Two into the torture chamber, but instead put it back into Bai Xiao's mind: "I met Number Zero once. It was hiding in a huge black box underground in the smart city."

“That used to be where my brain was stored.” Number Two’s tone was always tinged with murderous intent when he mentioned Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals.

"Zero's real target is New Shanghai Blood City. If we can find a way to lure it here, we might be able to find an opportunity to rescue your original body."

“I can try, but the most urgent thing is to contact the savior.” Number Two tore off a seal from Bai Xiao’s memory. The two poor souls, exhausted from running around, were worried that their memories would be stolen, so they branded each other and only dared to remove it when Gao Ming arrived.

After they dawdled for a while, Bai Xiao finally carried a flowerpot out of the activity center full of waste: "The shrine of the savior is right here."

"A flowerpot? Such an unusual shrine?" Even after becoming the lord of Blood City, Gao Ming couldn't see anything strange about the flowerpot.

"The Savior once sacrificed himself and was reborn through the Paradise Shrine. Many people were present at the time. To prevent any accidents, the ashes of the shrine were moved before the Savior left Xinhu. Only I know this secret." Number Two's voice echoed in Gao Ming's mind. He didn't want anyone else to hear it.

"The problem is that this flowerpot doesn't even have a shrine door. How can it be opened? How can it be invoked?" "The purpose of the shrine is to condense unspeakable faith. This flowerpot contains what the savior seeks."

Hearing what Number Two said, Gao Ming became curious. He didn't use any special abilities, but simply reached into the soil and found a pure black seed in the cracked earth.

It's about the size of a little fingertip, and its surface is covered with cracks. It's constantly healing its wounds.

“The savior went to a very far place, and may have been seriously injured. I tried to call out to it in various ways, but the seed did not respond. I know it is not dead, but it seems that it can no longer take root and sprout.”

"Is it because the distance is too far?" Gao Ming obtained a coordinate with the help of the second-hand system, and a very bold idea popped into his mind: "Why don't I give it a try?"

"Do as you please. As long as the savior is not completely forgotten, this seed cannot be completely destroyed..." Number Two sensed something was wrong before he could finish speaking. He heard the sound of waves crashing against his soul and smelled the stench of the sea of ​​blood: "How can Xin Hu hear the waves of the sea of ​​blood?"

Number Two wished he could crawl out of Bai Xiao's head. He saw Gao Ming tear open the system panel and forcefully open a door.

On this side of the door, everyone's faces were deathly pale; on the other side, a howling, foul wind and a surging sea of ​​blood filled the air. Number Two even saw a shadow beneath the surface of the sea that was larger than any ordinary island.

Clutching the seed, Gao Ming stood before the Gate of Hell, as if he were about to throw it into the sea of ​​blood.

"Think it over!" Number Two was really anxious; Gao Ming always managed to give him unexpected shocks.

"How do you know that I've imprisoned Sansi?" Gao Ming was referring to Li Sansi. He carefully raised his arm and stretched it out of the Ghost Gate.

Gao Ming didn't know the specific steps of the Soul Returning ability, but he knew from the second-hand system that the Soul Returning ability should be available in the Zero Authority.

"I'll take care of it."

"It's a matter of life and death, be rational!"

Ignoring external interference, Gao Ming gradually activated the faith power condensed within the seed. He wanted to call out, but no one knew the savior's name, and there was no one to whom he could return to his soul.

After racking his brains, Gao Ming suddenly turned his head, startling Bai Xiao and the second one inside Bai Xiao's body.

"What do you want to do again?"

"The new Blood City of Shanghai should have two owners. One is missing. What about the other one?"

"I don't remember either." Number Two answered Gao Ming's question very carefully: "Dreams don't just disappear for no reason. They must have perished together."

“I possess the shrine of dreams, and I can sense that the fate of dreams is intertwined with another force.” Gao Ming did not know the savior’s name, but he knew the dream’s true name and possessed the other’s shrine.

Under the watchful eyes of several dream ghosts and Number Two, Gao Ming smashed five shrines around the Ghost Gate, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and began chanting the name of the dream.
