Chi Jiao raised her hand and rubbed her chin. “I don’t think She Qi will cooperate with us.”

She Qi’s heart was filled with darkness. He was the type of person who wished that others’ lives would be more painful than his. Why would he cooperate with them obediently and tell them the truth?

Quan Jue nodded and held her hand tightly. “I understand what you mean, but we have to try no matter what. If soft tactics don’t work, we’ll use force. I don’t believe She Qi’s mouth is so tight that we can’t pry anything out.”

“Alright, we’ll go now.” With that, Chi Jiao and Quan Jue went to She Qi’s cell.

She Qi’s cell was on the 13th floor, which was in the middle of the 117 building. She Qi was locked up here alone. The entire floor was filled with the most powerful Espers in 117. They watched over She Qi 24/7.

!!

She Qi lived a rather comfortable life here. He had a cold smile on his face as he lay motionless on the bed, with his hands and feet tied together.

Soon, She Qi heard footsteps approaching. He raised his eyebrows lazily and looked up to see Chi Jiao and Quan Jue standing at the entrance of the cell, looking at him coldly with narrowed eyes.

She Qi sat up straight and looked at them with a faint smile. “Why? Have you changed your mind and decided to work with me?”

“You’re ugly, but you sure are optimistic. She Qi, you must bear the consequences of your crimes. However, we can apply for a lighter punishment as long as you cooperate with us,” Chi Jiao said coldly as she stared at him.

She Qi smiled with interest and looked at them arrogantly. “Chi Jiao, there’s no need to beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say.”

“You should know about the Heart of Time, right?” Quan Jue stared at She Qi, carefully observing any changes in his expression. “Tell me everything you know.”

“Not only do I know about the Heart of Time, but I also know that the necklace on Chi Jiao’s neck has three stones fused together. Chi Jiao, Quan Jue, I can tell you everything about these stones as long as you return Xi’er to me and let me revive her,” She Qi said with a smile.

“Do you think we will agree?” Chi Jiao sneered.

“If you don’t agree, how will you take out the Heart of Time from that woman’s body? By the way, that woman seems to be Quan Jue’s mother. Did you know that if you can’t take out the Heart of Time, the power of the other three stones won’t be enough and Xi’er can’t leave Xu Ye’s body? Her remnant consciousness will kill him,” She Qi said coldly.

Quan Jue wasn’t sure if She Qi was telling the truth, so he could only try to bluff him. “She Qi, stop scaring us.”

“I’m telling the truth. How can two people’s souls be stored in the same body? Xu Ye is young and strong, that’s why he lasted until now. However, the human body has its limits. Xu Ye is almost at the critical point. You should be able to tell that Xu Ye is getting thinner by the day. His condition is far inferior to when he first came. In at least a month or two, his body will definitely be dragged down by Xi’er’s soul. At that time, you won’t be able to save him even if you have the Heart of Time,” She Qi said smugly.
