Don't recognize her!?

This answer greatly exceeded Fang Heng's expectations.

He hadn't even heard of the name Xia Xi before?!

Fang Heng was stunned on the spot.

This answer was something he had never anticipated.

He continued to press, "Don't recognize her? Before, at Haynes School, when I called out Xia Xi's name, your expression changed noticeably. Why was that?"

"Is that so? Maybe I thought it was strange to hear an unfamiliar name at the time. You mistook me for someone else, and you also surprised me a little."

Gu Qingzhu recalled the situation at the time and explained, "You were very lucky. I happened to see you using the unique method of the alien race to enter the game. That's how I identified you. Otherwise, your fate would likely be the same as those Federal lackeys."

Fang Heng frowned.

That's right!

Fang Heng thought of something and rummaged through his backpack for his phone.

Although there was no signal and the magnetic field was severely disturbed, Xia Xi's photos were still stored on his phone.

Fang Heng immediately found Xia Xi's photo from his phone and handed it to Gu Qingzhu, "Do you recognize her? She is Xia Xi."

The moment she saw Xia Xi's photo, Gu Qingzhu's expression changed noticeably.

"She, Xia Xi, so she is Xia Xi."

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow, his heart stirred, "You really do recognize her! Who is she?"

"The person who gave me power. It's a long story."

"Would you be willing to tell me about it? It might be very important to me."

Gu Qingzhu's gaze lingered on Fang Heng for a moment, gradually falling into reminiscence, "That was a long time ago. I lived in a village outside of Redon County."

"One peaceful night, the village was massacred by outsiders. My parents told me to hide in the basement. I heard shouts of fighting and cries for help from outside. The village was razed to the ground overnight."

"When I woke up, I had already been taken to a Federal research institute."

"There were other members of the alien race like me in the research institute. They were all locked up here. It was only at this time that I learned the reason why the village was massacred."

"Everything was because of me, because of the alien bloodline in me."

"In order to study the alien race, the Federation captured us for live experiments."

"In the research institute, our every move was under the surveillance of the Federation. In order to survive, we could only accept the various experiments that the Federation gave us."

"At that time, I was among the youngest. In order to protect us, the clansmen scrambled to actively participate in those dangerous experiments. We could only watch as the clansmen died painfully one by one after receiving the experiments."

"Even after they died."

Gu Qingzhu recalled the past, and tears faintly appeared in the corners of her eyes, "Their bodies and souls could not be at peace. Their bodies were dissected and studied, and their souls were subjected to endless torture."

"My clansmen had been trying to resist. Finally, one day, we found an opportunity. The clansmen launched a riot inside the research institute."

"Under the protection of the clansmen, I escaped from the research institute. In order to protect us, the clansmen died one by one in front of me. A total of three hundred and seventy-two companions. When we escaped from the research institute, there were only twenty of us left."

Speaking of this, Gu Qingzhu's expression had gradually returned to ice-coldness.

"From that moment on, we had already shouldered the hatred of our dead companions. We had done nothing wrong. Just because of our bloodline, we paid the price for it. Is this fair?"

Fang Heng looked at Gu Qingzhu and gently shook his head.

He had also seen some content about the Federation's research on the alien race on the dark web, but he was not sure if it was true.

"Just when we were at our wit's end, Xia Xi appeared in front of me. She saved me."

"She told me that I had a special quality that she needed. She was willing to give me a chance to gain powerful power, but if I failed, the consequences might be death."

Gu Qingzhu said very lightly, "I accepted her proposal and actively participated in the ritual she mentioned."

Hearing Gu Qingzhu's description of the ritual, Fang Heng's heart stirred.

Ritual!

So Gu Qingzhu also experienced the ritual!

But Gu Qingzhu volunteered to accept the ritual.

But he was different.

From some fragmented memories, Fang Heng determined that his predecessor should have been forced to accept the ritual.

Fang Heng already had a guess in his mind, but he still looked at Gu Qingzhu and asked, "What ritual?"

Gu Qingzhu hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "You wouldn't want to know more. This is also for your safety."

Sure enough!

Fang Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.

Demon Seed!

Xia Xi is closely related to the Demon Seed!

"No, I understand. Demon Seed, right? I have also experienced the Demon Seed ritual."

Gu Qingzhu didn't expect Fang Heng to say this answer and looked at Fang Heng with a surprised look.

"Did you succeed?"

Fang Heng nodded lightly.

Gu Qingzhu's eyes showed even more surprise, and then she withdrew her gaze.

"I really envy you. It's a pity that I failed. Luckily, I survived."

Listening to Gu Qingzhu's description, Fang Heng clenched his fists again.

A failure…

So, am I a successful experimental product of the ritual?

Gu Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh, "Although the ritual failed, Xia Xi still gave me a second chance. She recognized my revenge and gave me a special power."

"What kind of power is it?"

"I'm sorry, I promised her that I wouldn't tell anyone else."

Fang Heng didn't ask about the type of power and changed the question, "How much more do you know about Xia Xi?"

"Nothing more. I haven't seen her since that ritual, and I don't know when she will appear in front of me again."

Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Can you find a way to contact her?"

"Yes, I have her contact information." Gu Qingzhu nodded, "But I have never contacted her. My name has always been on the Federation's wanted list. I don't want to have too much contact with her. I'm worried that it will cause her trouble."

Gu Qingzhu said, looking around, and sighed, "The last time I saw Xia Xi was also here."

Fang Heng suddenly raised his head, "What? You mean here?"

"Yes, the ritual was held here back then. I remember very clearly. I have never contacted Xia Xi since the ritual failed."

Gu Qingzhu looked at Fang Heng again and said, "Fang Heng, I just heard Fana mention the Federation outside. It seems that our situation is not optimistic."

"Yeah."

Fang Heng thought, raised his head, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
