Chapter 278: Chapter 267: Mystical Dimension 22

Yan Mo agreed to his request. After all, their mission was not about collecting ghosts, but simply to fulfill a task.

Afterwards he asked them how they met, how they fell in love, and their original plan.

Their encounter and falling in love turned out to be just like the gossip he’d previously heard. It started when he saw a play by Qin Qi, which led to a relentless pursuit.

Due to his family’s disapproval, his original plan was to elope with Qin Qi to the south.

However, Qin Qi was sold to a theater troupe and the troupe did not let the actors leave, so she could not get away.

Therefore, they thought of a plan to fake death. During a nighttime performance, they would set a fire and pretend to burn to death while secretly escaping.

He was supposed to start the fire, but that night he was knocked out before he could, and when he woke up, he was told that Qin Qi had really burned to death on the stage.

Over the years, his heart was filled with unbearable pain. He had attempted to commit suicide many times to join Qin Qi, but was always stopped. Later, he was watched twenty-four hours a day to prevent him from hurting himself, and wasn’t even allowed to go outside.

After hearing the whole story, Xia Yue and the others were astonished, and this incident revealed some unusual aspects.

Yan Mo asked, "What was your plan to escape after starting the fire? After all, there were people under the stage and backstage."

"According to the plan, we were to wait a few minutes until after the fire had started, and everyone was panicked and running around, I would join the firefighters with a pretext of helping. Meanwhile, Qiqi would dress a mannequin in her costume on the stage and wait for me to come get her. I suppose that when the fire started, she was still waiting for me. I failed her and let her die on that stage, I rightfully deserve death." As he spoke of the heartbreaking details, he started sobbing uncontrollably.

"No wonder Qin Qi called you a heartless man, even stating that she would have killed you if she could escape. In her eyes, it was probably your betrayal that led to her dying in the fire," Xia Yue thought about how Qin Qi turned ferocious every time his name was mentioned.

Upon hearing Xia Yue’s words, he cried out, "If it can ease her pain, I would willingly let her kill me so that I can still be with her."

"It’s troubling, if you both don’t clear this misunderstanding, it’s likely that she desires to obliterate you, so you’ll never reincarnate.

How tragic, such a twisted love story." Xia Yue shook her head and turned to Xia Xi, asking,

"Does such a possibility exist?"

"If her strength is even stronger, there indeed is such a possibility." Xia Xi nodded in agreement.

"I don’t want her to misunderstand me, please help me, tell Qiqi for me. I can die, but I want to be with her, I don’t want us to be separated." On hearing this, he became quite agitated and pleaded.

"Now we have to find out who knocked you out and started the fire, and why? If we can’t figure this out, your misunderstanding won’t be resolved.

Besides the two of you, who else knew about your plan at the time? Think about it, this could potentially be the key clue." Yan Mo suggested firmly.

"Apart from Qin Qi and me, there was one other person who knew, my good friend. He even helped us get the tickets to escape.

But it wouldn’t have been him, he was very supportive of us." He pondered for a moment, then said.
