Chapter 838: Untitled
An Xunuo took a few steps back as if she was shocked. It was also as if some bloody thing had strangled her throat. She looked scared and flustered as if she was watching a movie. There were people walking in front of her, but she was like a bystander, looking at the teenagers fighting the wolves and being torn apart by the wolves. She watched as the valley was filled with blood, and an old man was laughing coldly while a girl in red was also watching without any expression.
These images seemed to squeeze into her mind. Her head felt pain again as if the nerves in her brain were ruthlessly stirred by something. It was extremely painful.
…
Those images slowly faded away before rising again like a tide and then subsiding again, becoming so calm that there were no ripples. Her consciousness slowly became calm. An Xunuo seemed to have lost all her strength and she fell onto the empty training ground.
What happened just now? Why did she have such a weird feeling, and who were those people in the images? Why did they appear in her mind? An Xunuo could not understand why, and her brain felt like exploding. The smell of camellias lingered in the air and was very fragrant, but she seemed to smell blood amongst the fragrance of the camellia.
It was the unique smell of the old Paradise Island.
The bloody smell amongst the fragrance of the camellias was what a lot of people thought of Paradise Island for a long time.
An Xunuo curled up her legs and rested her head on her kneecap, trembling. She suddenly remembered something, and she got up and walked to the valley. This was a natural valley and the mountains on the three sides surrounded it to form a semi-circle. She seemed to see a very big iron gate from the images just now, and there were more than a hundred wolves being locked inside.
There were many wolves struggling between the valley and iron gate.
But, there was no iron gate now.
Somehow, An Xunuo walked to the front of the valley, picked up a few stones, and threw them at the mountains. Suddenly, something dropped down from two sides of the valley and the valley turned into a natural prison.
An Xunuo was shocked… So it was like this. The gate was kept between the two sides of the valley. So many years had passed and there was a thick layer of rust on the gate and red blood…
Her head felt pain again, and she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. An Xunuo turned back and saw Silver Cloud standing under the moonlight. His eyes looked deep and shocked under the grey lights as he looked at her in silence.
An Xunuo’s lost gaze disappeared and she looked cold. It was as if it was an illusion just now. If the gate disappeared, then this illusion would be even clearer.
“Who exactly are you?” Silver Cloud asked coldly. “The white camellias are planted according to the five elements and it is a maze by itself. One would not be able to walk inside freely if one was not familiar with the arrangements. Even Ye Ningyuan did not know about this gate, so how did you know?”
The design of this iron gate was very unique. Second Master Mo saw that there was a natural valley here and thought of turning it into a prison. He always liked to make such things and to set hidden traps. Therefore, he designed this iron gate to make it open from two sides and was as tall as the mountains. It was hidden between the mountains and could only open if one knew how to operate it.
Moreover, nobody knew how to operate it exactly other than Wolf, Xu Nuo, the Mo brothers, and some of the teenagers.
Silver Cloud saw An Xunuo walking here and followed her without even knowing why. He stood behind and saw clearly how An Xunuo trembled and was flustered. He also saw how she knew how to open the iron gate.
This was not a coincidence, and only someone familiar would be able to open the gate so accurately.
Who was she?
An absurd idea formed in his mind, but he rejected this idea immediately. But, it returned to his mind again and Silver Cloud thought that he must be crazy to have such a weird idea. How could he think that the An Xunuo in front of him was Xu Nuo? But if she was not Xu Nuo, then why was she able to open the gate? How could this be explained? Silver Cloud frowned.
“An Xunuo,” An Xunuo said coldly.
“No, you’re not An Xunuo. If you’re An Xunuo, how did you know how to open the gate? Something is not right.” Silver Cloud murmured. Actually, he did not know what he was questioning.
Was she Xu Nuo? An Xunuo was Xu Nuo? How could it be? He had already cremated Xu Nuo. Although the face was not clear, he remembered the special feature on her body.
He cremated Xu Nuo, so it was impossible for her to be alive. Then, who was the person standing in front of him now that was so familiar with Paradise Island? She had similar interests and hobbies as Xu Nuo as well. Who was she?
There was a crazy thought in his mind, but he despised it and did not care about it. It was impossible. It must be impossible. How could it be possible? An Xunuo, An Xunuo… How could she be Xu Nuo?
Did he get something wrong?
Or maybe, it was just a coincidence.
An Xunuo walked past him without saying anything. Silver Cloud suddenly asked, “Do you know who used to be jailed in this prison?”
An Xunuo said calmly, “Wild wolves.”
Wild wolves that were trained and shot with modified genes. Luckily, they were extinct. If not, it would be dangerous and they might not live until now. Silver Cloud was even more shocked. He grabbed her arms and said solemnly, “Xu Nuo, you are Xu Nuo, right?”
“Nonsense. Of course I’m Xu Nuo.” She brushed off his arms coldly as if he had said some joke. She walked off without saying anything, her steps getting heavier and heavier.
Blood and beauty existed together on this island, and it was a perfect balance.
She did not know why these images were in her mind. She only knew that these images seemed to resurface as if it was her past memory. Or did someone give her this illusion?
It must be an illusion. If it was her memory, why would she not remember it? Other than the memory when she was very young, she remembered everything else clearly and she had never been to Paradise Island.
Silver Cloud saw An Xunuo’s back view and felt shocked and puzzled, but he tried to suppress his feelings. He picked three stones and threw them at the mountains. The gate opened and went back into the mountains.
Xu Nuo… Xu Nuo…
Did you really come back?
