Above the gray fog

Parchment: [The woman called Aunt Ou, originally named Agnes Rodrick, foresaw many things through my authority fragments, including the connection channel between this hell and the mustard seed space. She left a trace of soul in this hell in advance. If she dies, the soul will follow the arrangement to come to this hell and spend the rest of the soul's life in this hell. ]

"Agnes... is a woman, so what's wrong with her current form?" Lin Shan asked. Aunt Ou's current state should be unnatural. I have heard of hermaphrodites, but I have never heard of any creature that can switch between male and female all the time.

Parchment: [This hell was built by the Nippervalen Empire. Agnes is not a citizen of the Nippervalen Empire, and death will not enter here. However, with the help of the authority fragment, she found the residual soul here and merged her own soul with the residual soul. However, an accident occurred during the fusion process. The residual soul of the citizens of the Nippervalen Empire was too powerful, and Agnes could not dominate it. So the two souls reached a deal and became a soul-body symbiotic relationship. The residual soul needs the soul life, and my aunt needs the identity proof here. ]

Parchment: [She herself does not have the characteristics of the fate genealogy. She can predict the future because of the authority fragment. ]

Before Lin Shan continued to ask questions, the parchment continued to answer Lin Shan's third question.

Parchment: [The only way out is in the hands of Agnes. The previous channel has long been unusable. The Jiuqu tribe has established a new channel connecting the two worlds with the help of the parchment fragment. After finding the heart of the three-headed dog, you can go to her. 】

"Hmm..." Lin Shan nodded slightly, and was about to ask other questions, but found that he had reached his destination unknowingly.

This is a desolate place, with a damp fishy smell in the air, and only sparse gray plants on the ground.

In front of the desolate land, a field is shrouded in the void, a bit like a weird field, but this field exudes spiritual power.

The field is very strong, and Lin Shan's mental power cannot break through.

Landing on the ground, there is an ancient path in front of him, winding into the depths of the field.

"Is it here? What's going on with this field?" Lin Shan looked at the field in front.

Parchment: [The field set up by the adult three-headed dog to protect the cubs. There is still time now. The adult three-headed dog of hell has not come back yet, so hurry in. 】

Lin Shan walked slowly towards the direction of the field.

The closer he got, the more he felt something was wrong.

There was an inexplicable depression in the air, as if there was an indescribable force here, constantly attacking his consciousness.

Lin Shan walked step by step, his feet stepped on the gray plants, making a crackling sound.

When he was about to enter the field, Lin Shan suddenly stopped.

Parchment: [What's wrong? Why don't you go in? The three-headed dog cub is inside. When the adult three-headed dog comes back, you will have no chance. Don't say that the great parchment didn't help you. ]

"I'm thinking of a question..." Lin Shan said faintly.

Parchment: [What's the question? ]

"Did Auntie choose the souls randomly? Why... She didn't choose weaker souls? Most of the souls here have lost consciousness. It should be easy for Auntie to control them... Why did she choose a strong soul for fusion?" Lin Shan asked slowly.

Parchment: [This question is not in the category of free questions. I can tell you if you pay ten years of life. ]

Lin Shan: "Pay."

Parchment: [Since you helped me find the fragments, I'll give you this question for free, but this is the last time. ]

Parchment: [The mustard seed space is very important to the Jiuqu tribe. However, when the Jiuqu tribe first explored the mustard seed space, they found that it was full of dangers. The Jiuqu tribe lost two sequence 5s in it.]

Parchment: [Agnes, reminded by the great parchment, found the residual soul of the mustard seed space builder in hell. This builder can provide necessary help to the Jiuqu tribe. No one knows the mustard seed space better than him. With him, the Jiuqu tribe can easily explore the mustard seed space, master the operating rituals in the mustard seed space, and completely occupy the mustard seed space.]

Parchment: [Agnes needs the identity of the Nippervalen Empire, and the Jiuqu tribe needs the knowledge mastered by this builder. In order to kill two birds with one stone, Agnes decided to replace the builder. However, she underestimated the strength of this builder. After a struggle, the builder knew Agnes's purpose. He proposed a solution of soul-body fusion. After Auntie Ou agreed, the two have been in this state. ]

Parchment: [However, Agnes died recently, and her soul came to hell. From now on, Agnes' consciousness will dominate this assembled soul body, but the builder cannot be completely excluded. ]

Lin Shan nodded, and was about to step in, but stopped again.

Parchment: [? ]

"There is another question that has always puzzled me." Lin Shan said.

Parchment: [We will talk about it later if you have any questions. Now hurry up and go in. The adult three-headed dog is coming back. ]

Lin Shan shook his head and said, "If this problem is not solved, I will feel very uncomfortable."

Parchment: [You have five minutes left. Choose one between the super-standard sequence and the problem that bothers you. ]

"Five minutes, I can have both." Lin Shan said.

Parchment: [What's the problem? ]

Lin Shan looked at the handwriting in his mind, and his eyes became even weirder.

But he continued to ask, "Who are Jiuqu's parents? Why did she wander with my aunt? Why did my aunt die? My aunt asked Jiuqu to follow me... was it you who gave her advice?"

Parchment: [...You call this a problem? 】

Lin Shan nodded and said: "It can also be understood as...a one-sentence question. I'm really confused. I can pay for my life."

The parchment did not mention the matter of lifespan, but gave a direct answer.

Parchment: [Jiuqu’s father is the descendant of the Jiuqu tribe’s god, and his mother is a talented member of the Jiuqu tribe. Jiuqu is the pure Jiuqu divinity. 】

Parchment: [Her parents encountered danger while escaping and asked Agnes to escape with Jiuqu. Agnes hid with Jiuqu and predicted that she would die through the fragment of authority. Her lifespan is limited and she is trying to decipher herself. Between the dead end and planning a way out for Jiuqu, Agnes chose to plan a way out for Jiuqu. The fragment of authority points Jiuqu towards you, which can both protect Jiuqu and return it to its true form. 】
