"Yes or no, it doesn't matter. If you don't believe me, you can pretend otherwise. You just need to tell me who told you about it."
Gu Qingcheng knew a lot about Han Sen, and she knew it couldn't have been Han Sen himself. Someone had to have told him. So, Gu Qingcheng didn't doubt Han Sen's words.
"I don't know. I just met someone. I don't know who he was, and I haven't seen him since." Because there was no such person, Han Sen couldn't tell her.
Gu Qingcheng frowned and looked at Han Sen. She didn't believe what Han Sen was saying. Why would a stranger tell him something like that?
Han Sen tried to fool her, and he wanted to leave. He was sure Gu Qingcheng was Number Four.
But if Gu Qingcheng was really a human who had been in the sanctuaries since ancient times, how did she manage to get in?
And how was she still alive?
There was one more thing that confused Han Sen. If Number Four was the number set by the watcher, did that mean the other numbers were all humans?
If they were all humans, what was the order in which they were numbered?
Gu Qingcheng was Number Four. If that was the order in which she entered the sanctuaries, that meant there were at least three humans who had entered before her.
Of course, that was just a guess. Maybe the numbers didn't all represent humans.
"If you want to leave, you have to explain yourself." Gu Qingcheng flashed to the door and blocked the only exit. She stopped him from leaving.
Han Sen looked at Gu Qingcheng. He thought she was telling the truth, because he had always thought she was weird. She didn't seem to fit in with this world.
But Gu Qingcheng's name sounded old. It didn't sound like a modern human name.
Plus, some of her actions made Han Sen feel awkward. He had always thought she was mysterious, and she was a beauty. It was normal for her to be different from the average person.
Now that he thought about it, Gu Qingcheng did look like a modern person.
"I can tell you, but you have to tell me who you are first." Han Sen pondered for a moment and said.
"I told you, but you didn't believe me," Gu Qingcheng said.
"Even if I believe that you are a human from ancient times, you should at least have an identity, right?
I remember that in ancient times, humans were divided by countries, right?
Which country are you from?
What did you do? "Han Sen really wanted to know how Gu Qingche had entered the sanctuaries.
But he was afraid that Gu Qingcheng wouldn't answer him if he asked her that. So, he decided to test her first.
Gu Qingche hesitated and said, "I am from the Chu State. I am a Qi Trainer."
"Qi cultivator?
Which sect is he from? "Han Sen asked angrily.
"That's none of your business." Gu Qingcheng didn't answer.
"Then how did you get into the sanctuaries?" Han Sen asked.
"If I answer that question, you have to tell me who told you this," Gu Qingcheng said, looking at Han Sen.
"Okay, deal," Han Sen agreed.
Without hesitation, Gu Qingcheng said, "I am from the Chu State, but I practice on the sea. I was on a boat returning to land, and I encountered a weird whirlpool. I was sucked into the whirlpool, and I ended up in the sanctuaries."
"Which planet was that whirlpool on?" Han Sen asked.
"It's useless. When I returned to the Alliance, I went there many times, but I couldn't find anything. I even used a lot of battleships to search the waters. It was just an ordinary sea. There was nothing special about it," Gu Qingcheng said.
Han Sen nodded and said, "According to what you said, if you are from the Chu State, then it must have been tens of thousands of years ago. How did you survive until now?"
"I told you that was the last question. Now, it's your turn to answer mine. Who told you this?" Gu Qingcheng asked.
Han Sen pulled out a book and gave it to Gu Qingcheng. It wasn't the diary he found in the control room. It was a copy he had made of Number Four. Han Sen had taken it home and kept it.
That was why he didn't go and find Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng took the book and opened it with suspicion. After a few glances, her face changed. She flipped through the pages, and the more she read, the worse her face looked.
"Who is it? Who is the leader?"
Gu Qingcheng closed the book and stared at Han Sen. She looked like she was going to explode. The words he had said gave her goosebumps.
From these words, it could be seen that there were many things that she thought no one knew, but all of them were seen by this person. In this person's eyes, she seemed to have no privacy at all.
"I don't know who it was, but I copied it from a room in God's Ruin." Han Sen told her what had happened back in God's Ruin.
Gu Qingcheng didn't quite believe him. After Han Sen finished, she stared at Han Sen for a long time. It was like she wanted to see something from Han Sen's face, but she was disappointed.
"If what you said is true, then there should be other numbers, right?
There should be at least three, "Gu Qingcheng said.
"Yes, there are many. There aren't many parts about them. Most of them are just one or two sentences. You have the most. It looks like you are the one who has received the most attention." Han Sen smiled.
"Show me the other parts," Gu Qingcheng said as she reached out her hand.
"Sure. But first, tell me how you managed to survive until now," Han Sen said with a blink.
Gu Qingcheng didn't hesitate.
She seemed to have thought of something, and she wanted to confirm it.
So, she told Han Sen, "After I entered the sanctuaries, I became a demi-god.
When I was exploring God's Ruin, I accidentally entered a strange place.
I was trapped there for a while.
It felt like a short time.
I thought it was only a few months.
But when I came out, the teleporter in the sanctuaries could be used again.
I used it to return to the Alliance, and after that, I learned that humans had been in existence for tens of thousands of years."
After that, Gu Qingcheng seemed to think of something that made her very unhappy. She looked at Han Sen coldly and said, "Not long after I returned to the Alliance, I met your big, liar grandpa."
Han Sen could only imagine what would happen if someone with an ancient mind encountered a liar.
Han Sen's heart jumped as he asked, "Were there many crystal machines in the place you entered?"
