Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 470 - 308: Initial Contact with Zhao Ji (10,000 Words to Request Monthly Tickets!)_3

"Contact her this way, and she'll have to believe you,"

After speaking, perhaps feeling that she now relied on Qiu Tu, she thought she should respect his opinion more. So after a moment of contemplation, she eventually added, "Yu Yue, when I was very little, I liked to call her Sister Yueyue..."

"This is a name that only the two of us knew."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu asked curiously, "Does this name hold any special meaning?"

This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.

Larilo said nonchalantly, "What else could it be for? My name has the character for 'sun' in it, and her 'Zhao' contains the character for 'moon.' So, we just went with that."

Larilo's explanation was simple, but Qiu Tu silently took note of it.

Next, Qiu Tu cautiously inquired about other clues and topics from Larilo.

It was only after Larilo was questioned to exhaustion that Qiu Tu ended their conversation. By that time, he belatedly realized that it had already turned dark...

'Have we been talking for so long?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu began to pack up Larilo.

Closing the interrogation record book in his hand, Qiu Tu walked to the bedside, gazed at the azure moon outside the window, and then estimated the time.

The distance between Eastern City and Xinjie City wasn't far; driving along the official road should only take about three and a half hours.

So... a round trip tonight, he could definitely make it. At worst, he just wouldn't sleep.

With this thought, Qiu Tu didn't delay. He called Tan Huimin, and together they went downstairs, drove to purchase the necessary items for the ritual, and then... headed towards the Eastern City District...

...

At 8 p.m., the two reached Eastern City.

Since this visit was for a "private matter," Qiu Tu didn't alert anyone.

He wanted to come quietly and leave just as silently, without anyone being the wiser.

After asking a few locals, Qiu Tu and Tan Huimin arrived at the most luxurious Skytop Hotel in Eastern City.

They rented a suite in the hotel, and with the hotel staff's snickering expressions, they "hurriedly" went to their room...

Once inside the room, Qiu Tu asked Tan Huimin to stand guard in the outer room while he began the ritual in the bedroom...

Qiu Tu first took out four white candles and placed them in the four corners of the room.

Then he lit twelve incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, positioning it by the window of the room.

Subsequently, he walked around the bed counterclockwise three times and then clockwise twice.

Finally, he softly called out three times, "Zhao Ji... Zhao Ji... Zhao Ji..."

During the ritual, Qiu Tu was tense all over, his gaze fixated on the upper left corner.

He was ready to stop the ritual immediately if Crisis Countdown was triggered.

Luckily, the ritual continued without triggering Crisis Intuition.

So Qiu Tu breathed a slight sigh of relief, then he climbed onto the bed and, following the last step taught by Larilo, he found the central position in the room and slowly lay down…

Strangely enough, as Qiu Tu lay down, the white candles in the four corners of the pitch-black room suddenly flared up with a "poof!"

Blue flames rose three feet high, casting numerous tentacle-like shadows throughout the room.

And Qiu Tu felt as if his body had become weightless. He was clearly lying on the bed, but... as he tilted to 180 degrees, he continued to fall downward.

Finally, as if standing on his head, his body was positioned upside down in that surreal space.

After what felt like an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a minute or maybe seven to eight minutes, a cold voice Qiu Tu once heard whispered in his ear, "Who are you?"

On hearing this, Qiu Tu answered, "I am... your brother-in-law."

Zhao Ji: ??

In the darkness, silence fell for a moment...
