The sage was determined to die.

Wang Zhixuan did not understand what the other party meant for a moment.

His vision was blurry, and the other person was wearing a hood so that his facial features were completely obscured, not even his eyes were visible, and the deliberately altered voice was completely unfamiliar.

He heard the other person say, "Do you know me?"

"I don't know him." He had no choice but to tell the truth when he was under someone else's roof.

"Yeah, you don't even recognize me." Ji Bai deliberately made his voice much colder. "And you still dare to drink the water I charge for?"

Wang Zhixuan: "???"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhixuan felt a strange surge of anger and humiliation. He opened his mouth, but quickly suppressed his temper.

Then the other party continued in a sinister voice, "Hey, it's a good thing I'm not a loan shark, so you don't have to risk your life for it."

"What do you want?" Wang Zhixuan tried his best to keep his voice calm.

"What do you want?"

The other party repeated the four words very slowly, as if they wanted to break them down and weigh them carefully.

How about answering a few questions for me?

In Wang Zhixuan's ears, although this person was trying to discuss things with him, it was clear that he had no intention of taking his opinion into consideration.

The other person chuckled a few times and asked, "Why have you fallen to this state?"

Wang Zhixuan didn't expect the other party to ask him this question. He wasn't naive; he knew that kidnappers wanted practical benefits. Although this person was clearly different, he didn't seem to be after money at all.

"I'm not quite sure." After saying that, Wang Zhixuan quickly added, "I really don't know. Since I woke up, my memory has been fragmented, and I haven't remembered many things yet."

"Looks like he's been beaten senseless," Ji Bai concluded.

Wang Zhixuan: "..."

Ji Bai acted like a detective, meticulously dissecting everything about the other party, without even trying to hide anything from them, appearing to be very considerate of their feelings.

"Although you look so ugly now, Young Master Wang, you should be able to guess that I know your identity."

"Since you claim to have amnesia, let's revisit this." Ji Baifa let out a kidnapper's laugh. "Who would offend you for no reason and burn you half to death?"

"Your enemies, those who plot against you, or both."

"Given the extent of your injuries, anyone else would probably be dead by now," Ji Bai said. "It's a pity you're so tough."

As he listened to the other person's detailed analysis, many memories flashed through Wang Zhixuan's mind, and he even replayed some fragmented sounds, but there were no corresponding faces in his mind, only vague echoes.

"So," Ji Bai concluded definitively, "considering your uncle's fate, you should also be a sacrifice."

Sacrifice?

When Ji Bai spoke to him, although he did not show his facial features, he still made gestures, and the direction he pointed was a huge pile of ashes.

Wang Zhixuan struggled to open his eyes and looked at the huge skeleton, but no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem to have any human form at all...

He instinctively wanted to open his mouth to refute, but suddenly the image of a giant emerald green tortoise popped into his mind.

Wait, why does this turtle feel so familiar to me?

"I," Wang Zhixuan's voice betrayed a hint of insecurity, "I think I really do know him, but am I not a human being?"
