Chapter 2097 Topaz Prison
He Zhou finally arrived at the source of the sound.

It looks the same here as the surrounding areas.

At least the environment is exactly the same.

He Zhou looked for a long time but couldn't see any difference.

But why is there a strange noise here?

Moreover, no one passing by seemed to hear the sound, only he noticed it.

He Zhou looked carefully and found that no one passing by looked in this direction.

It's as if there's nothing here.

Even if someone looked towards his corner, their eyes would stay on him, not the source of his voice.

It seemed that people passing by were curious about why he stopped here.

After observing for a while, He Zhou turned his gaze back to the source of the strange sound.

He decided to study it to see what was causing the sound.

At this time, the people around him walked away, and he was the only one left in the alley.

He Zhou immediately stepped forward and opened the cover on the ground.

Yes, the source of the sound was covered with a cover.

Just open the cover and you can see what's inside.

After He Zhou opened it, he found something that looked like jade underneath.

"what is this?"

He Zhou looked around and made sure that no one new was coming, so he immediately picked up the jade on the ground.

Then he looked at it carefully.

Judging from its appearance, it is just an ordinary jade, but no one knows what its function is.

Another thing is that when He Zhou picked it up from under the cover, it no longer made any sound, as if it was suppressed by something.

He Zhou suddenly had an illusion in his mind. Could it be that the reason this thing made a sound was specifically to attract him over?

He Zhou felt very confused.

However, due to the lack of information, he couldn't figure out the exact reason.

Seeing that there was no one around, He Zhou quickly closed the cover and left the alley.

After reaching the outside of the alley, He Zhou tightened his collar to cover part of his face, and then pushed his hat down to cover his forehead as well.

Only then did he feel a little better.

Then he walked straight into the distance.

It’s better to stay away from this alley now. Once we get to a safe place, we can study carefully what this thing is.

"I hope Masha won't come looking for me."

He Zhou prayed silently in his heart as he walked.

He doesn't want to deal with Masha now.

Masha is very powerful, while he is weak. If the two of them deal with each other, he will be in trouble if something goes wrong.

He Zhou knew this very well.

Therefore, it would be best if Masha did not come to him. He would not interfere with Masha, nor would he waste time talking to Masha.

Go all the way.

After walking for about half an hour, He Zhou arrived at the edge of an alley square.

This place is like a park, and there are many people playing here.

After looking around, He Zhou found a place to sit down.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he lifted a corner of his coat and took out the jade.

This piece of jade is crystal clear and it makes people feel good at looking at it.

Not only that, it also makes people feel that this thing should be some kind of treasure.

Of course, regardless of whether it is a treasure or not, He Zhou is prepared to study this thing carefully.

After all, this thing had just been making strange noises.

It was the strange sound that attracted him to go over and find out what was going on.

Now that I finally have the thing in my hands, of course I have to study it carefully.

He Zhou observed the jade carefully.

Judging from the texture of the jade surface, there seems to be nothing special about it.

Just like other jades.

Moreover, its shape is irregular and it is obvious that it has not been polished properly.

He Zhou couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

This thing really doesn't look like anything special, so why does it make that strange buzzing sound?
Also, why is there no sound now?

Was it really just to attract him over?

He Zhou couldn't figure out the situation.

To be honest, he was a little scared inside now, he was worried that this thing might be dangerous.

Maybe someone noticed that something was wrong with him and specifically attracted him?

He Zhou inexplicably had such a guess in his mind.

"Or, find a place to hide it first."

He Zhou said in his heart.

This thing doesn't seem to be of any use for now, so there's no need to carry it with you.

The best option is naturally to find a place to hide.

Thinking of this, He Zhou immediately stood up and prepared to find a hiding place for the jade.

He Zhou quickly left the alley square and continued along the street.

This thing is not suitable to be hidden in this city. The best place to hide it is at the edge of the city, that is, close to the inner wall.

There are some good places to hide things over there, which He Zhou had observed before.

Walking quickly all the way, after about two hours, He Zhou arrived at the edge of the city near the inner wall.

After careful observation, he found a good place to hide the jade.

Then he decisively put it in.

Seeing that there was no one around, he prepared to turn around and leave.

However, after he took a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound coming from the jade again.

The sound was very clear, just like what he had just heard in the alley.

It's also buzzing.

He Zhou couldn't help but stop and turned to look at the place where he buried the jade.

Yes, everything is the same now as it was just now in the alley.

The jade kept making sounds, attracting his attention.

There are not many people here right now, and I wonder if this sound will attract other people's attention.

He Zhou began to feel conflicted.

If this thing kept making noises, then he definitely didn't want to be buried here.

What if among the people who come here, is there anyone who can hear this sound?

Then it will be dug out and taken away by the other party.

Just like he did in that alley.

He Zhou even suspected that maybe this thing was originally buried in that inconspicuous corner by someone, and he happened to pass by and heard it, so he dug it out.

Or maybe after that man buried the jade in the alley, she became disappointed with that person and chose him instead.

All kinds of thoughts popped up in He Zhou's mind.

He now has no idea what to do.

The main reason was that he didn't know the origin of the jade.

What if the jade had some kind of mind or something?
This is what worries him the most.

Because if what I just guessed is true, this jade will actively make sounds to attract the people it wants to attract.

Then, he was just the one chosen by this jade.

If that's true, then why did the jade choose him?
He Zhou needs to know why.

If you don't figure it out, you're taking a risk.

After all, this is a mysterious world with supernatural powers.

He Zhou dare not take it lightly.

"What should we do?"

He Zhou stood there, looking at the place where the jade was buried.

Regardless, he had to make a choice quickly.

We can't just keep waiting like this.

He Zhou knew clearly that if he really left like this, then when he came back later, the jade would most likely be gone.

Then he would lose something.

This was something he couldn't accept.

What if this jade is really a treasure?

After hesitating for a while, He Zhou made a decision.

He decided to pick up the jade. He quickly returned to the place where the jade was buried, removed the disguise on it, and then bent down to pick up the jade.

As soon as the jade returned to his hands, it immediately became silent.

Everything was the same as it had just been in the alley.

As long as he touched the jade, it would no longer make that strange sound.

He Zhou frowned.

At this time, other people were walking towards this side, so He Zhou turned around and left quickly.

I'd better find another place to study this thing carefully.

He Zhou decided to figure out what this thing was first.

After half an hour.

He Zhou found a secluded and deserted place.

He immediately took out the jade from his arms.

This thing looks ordinary, but it always feels like it hides some mysterious power.

He Zhou observed carefully in the evening light.

Overall, this jade is still the same as when he observed it during the day, it is just pure jade texture.

"How about cutting him open and trying?"

He Zhou suddenly had an idea.

Many times, after cutting open, you will find that the texture inside is different from that on the outside.

Perhaps there is some mystery hidden inside this piece of jade.

"I don't know what this thing is used for anyway."

He Zhou thought secretly in his heart.

He didn't know what this thing was used for, nor did he know where it came from.

So he didn't care if cutting it open would ruin the thing.

Of course, it is not easy to cut this jade, and it is difficult to do without the right tools.

He Zhou thought about it and decided to just throw it.

There was a snap.

He Zhou threw the jade in his hand directly to the ground.

The sound was very crisp, but the entire piece of jade seemed to have no damage.

He Zhou immediately picked it up from the ground.

After careful inspection, it was found that there was indeed no damage.

The whole piece of jade is in good condition, there is no problem at all.

Seeing this scene, He Zhou thought to himself, if it wasn't damaged after falling from such a heavy weight, then it would be impossible to cut it open.

The texture of this thing is so weird, it's incredibly hard.

So, what should we do?
He Zhou found a place and sat down.

He decided to try another way.

Just because something can't be cut or broken doesn't mean it won't be destroyed.

He Zhou thought about it and decided to find a tool first, such as a knife or a hammer.

It would be best to use a carving knife to see if you can carve some marks on the jade.

He Zhou left this place quickly.

Searching all the way.

An hour later, He Zhou successfully found a carving knife.

It was already dark and the street lights were just coming on.

He Zhou found a quiet place with street lighting.

Then he took out the newly acquired carving knife and tried to carve marks on the jade.

He soon discovered that he could not leave any mark on the jade with his strength.

This jade is incredibly hard.

He Zhou thought about it and decided to increase his efforts.

Then, he held the carving knife tightly in one hand and the jade tightly in the other.

Then, he used all his strength to carve on the surface of the jade.

However, because the texture of the jade surface was too hard, He Zhou's carving knife slipped and fell onto his left hand holding the jade.

The sharp carving knife instantly cut through He Zhou's skin.

He Zhou felt pain and immediately let go of the jade in his hand.

But at this time, the blood oozing from his left hand had already remained on the surface of the jade.

Changes immediately appeared on the surface of the jade.

He Zhou took a look and found that the jade had changed from its original green-yellow texture to blood-red.

This change in scene even made him forget the pain in his left hand.

"What's going on?"

He Zhou was surprised.

I didn't expect that just a drop of blood could cause such a huge change.

With the amount of blood in that drop, it is absolutely impossible to dye such a large piece of jade red.

He Zhou is very sure of this.

That's why he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Everything completely exceeded his expectations.

He Zhou carefully picked up the jade on the ground.

At this time, the jade turned completely blood-red, looking a little creepy.

And then, a voice appeared in his ears.

"Yes, I can finally talk to you."

The voice said so.

"Who? Who's talking to me?"

He Zhou said in surprise.

"I'm in your hands."

He Zhou looked at the jade in his hand after hearing this.

So, the sound in the ear comes from this jade?

"Yes, it's me."

The voice said so again.

"who are you?"

He Zhou asked warily.

"I am the jade in your hand."

The voice replied.

He Zhou shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about where you came from."

Jade can speak, and speak directly into his ear. It is really strange.

Completely contrary to common sense.

So He Zhou wanted to find out the origin of this jade.

Why can this be done?

"Well, actually I am a spirit trapped in this jade."

the voice explained.

"Trapped in jade? How did you get trapped in there?"

He Zhou asked.

Lin Yu had already taught him about the knowledge about the soul, but he didn't know how the other party was trapped in this jade.

He was very curious about this and wanted to find out.

Moreover, without figuring out these things, he would not know the origin of the jade and would have no way of investigating it.

"This is a long story, but if you are willing to help me escape from this topaz prison, I can reward you with a huge benefit."

The voice spoke in a persuasive tone.

When He Zhou heard this, he felt curious and alert.

How can I help this soul escape from this prison?
Besides, what benefits will he bring to himself?
He Zhou hasn't figured out the situation yet, but this spirit has already started talking about these things.

After thinking for a while, He Zhou said, "You should tell me the situation in detail. After I figure it out, I will decide whether to help you or not."

"There are huge benefits, don't you want it?" the voice asked, "Do you know that I can make you stronger and have the same strength as the Holy Guards?"

"Holy Guard?"

He Zhou heard a new term again.

He didn't know what the Holy Guards were, but they sounded powerful.

"You should tell me your background first, and I will make the decision myself."

He Zhou reiterated his request.
