The buildings of the imperial city cannot be looked directly at.
Jiang Yaoqing put away the veil. Karina said it was a life-saving thing.
Taking out the white gauze that Jiang Yubai bought before from the system space, Jiang Yao fell in love with her eyes.
Sisili's bedroom is not big, and the faint fragrance of Sisli's body still lingers, which makes it feel very safe. The wind outside the window stirred the veil in front of Jiang Yaoqing's eyes, and the coral-colored fish tail rippled gently in the sea water.
If he wanted to get in touch with Jiang Yubai and the others, there was only one way.
Her sight was blocked by white gauze, Jiang Yaoqing closed her eyes and moved her ears slightly.
That is to find the secret room where Jiang Yubai and the others are now, and transmit information at the same time and space at different times.
But before that, he needs to go to the baptismal holy place of the royal family, that is, to complete his [Task 3] first. Although the system is very unreliable, it is said that the system is still very powerful in prompting novice anchors.
Sisili did not leave himself any map of the palace and needs to explore it by himself. This is the biggest difficulty at present.
Jiang Yaoqing swam to the door based on her memory and reached out to push the door open.
Time waits for no one, and I still don’t know the most important time flow ratio. If the flow of time on his side is relatively slow, then Jiang Yubai and the others may be in danger.
As the captain, he must ensure the safety of every team member.
The land of nightmares...
Jiang Yaoqing pushed the door open, hoping that Jiang Yubai and the others could find him successfully and safely.
.
It was quiet outside Sisili's palace, and there were no servants.
Today is Sisili's wedding day. Putting aside the rough wedding process, it is really unbelievable that there is not a single servant to serve the young prince in this huge palace.
Sisili does not look like a prince, but like a puppet imprisoned in the palace.
After finding a certain direction, Jiang Yaoqing swam forward.
He still remembered the route he took when he was brought back to Sisili's chamber.
He vaguely remembered that when passing a certain place, he felt some vague sense of oppression.
The feeling of oppression was very similar to the pressure the angel statue gave him, but it was different.
The oppressive feeling of the angel statue is more of a kind of opposition and resistance.
The sense of oppression that the Imperial City gave him was a kind of oppression that came from a higher and deeper power.
That is absolute suppression on the plane.
The things inside were definitely not creatures that existed on Blue Star - this was Jiang Yaoqing's first feeling.
Holding the escalator, Jiang Yaoqing moved along the spatial location in her memory.
Get off the escalator, turn to the right, go around a corridor about two hundred meters, and cross a path. Then climb up a small slope. Then turn the corner...
"The days are coming soon, right?"
"Soon, just tomorrow."
Jiang Yaoqing was caught off guard when she heard the mermaid's conversation. Without hesitation, she hid behind the wall at the corner decisively.
The water rippled slightly, but no one cared.
The voice sounded like two guards guarding the door. Jiang Yaoqing took a few breaths and felt the pain in her lower abdomen, knowing that she was not on the wrong track.
"This little prince is really miserable. He is the only one in the whole city who doesn't know about it."
"Shh, His Majesty has told us not to talk nonsense."
"What are you afraid of?" The guard spoke in a slightly longer tone. It sounded like he was looking around to make sure no one was around. After making sure no one was around, he lowered his voice and muttered, "There's no one around here. There's nothing to do here."
"...Same." Another one, Cong Ting, said with a somewhat relaxed tone, "Maybe this is fate."
Jiang Yaoqing took a deep breath and decided to use an invisibility tool.
I can't see now, so there is still some danger of being exposed after all. Although the invisibility tools are rare, they are just decorations if you don't need to keep them.
Prop name: Stealth prop]
[Item level: B (upgradeable)]
[Prop Skill: Stealth]
[Skill introduction: Can be invisible ten times. After ten times, it will be damaged and cannot be used (2/10]
After using the props, Jiang Yaoqing's figure was completely hidden in the sea water.
He can also eavesdrop better on corners.
"I heard that Sisili was not born to His Majesty?"
"Really? I've never heard of this."
"When I was working at the Crown Princess's house two days ago, I overheard something in the corner." The guard lowered his voice, "The servant over there said that Sisili was an egg that His Majesty picked up from outside, not his biological son."
"I've never heard of this theory, but I've heard of another theory." The other person quickly integrated in and actively joined the gossip army. "The little prince is a specially made sacrifice that His Majesty used to wake up that person."

As if they were discussing some taboo topic, the two of them remained silent for a long time in tacit understanding.
Jiang Yaoqing also keenly captured the word "that person".
He is now certain that this "that person" should be the "him" in the system clues.
"I really don't know what the use is of Your Majesty asking us to guard the baptismal font. The imperial city has not used the baptismal font for hundreds of years. Could it be that there are some monsters that have recently been produced in the contaminated area and need to be purified?"
After a moment of silence, the two of them tacitly changed the topic to communicate.
This time it was Jiang Yaoyen's turn to be surprised.
After living for so many years, he was so lucky for the first time and found the baptismal pool in [Mission 3] directly.
This also had to make Jiang Yaoqing wonder if there was any trap in the baptismal pool.
"It seems like an exorcism ritual is going to be performed on the little prince."
Another person thought for a while and replied: "I remember His Majesty seemed to have mentioned that the time was after the little prince got married, which should be today."
"It's getting late now. The sacrifices should start tonight, right?"
"Yes, tonight is the night, and tomorrow is the official awakening ceremony."
"I have pity on the little prince's new wife. I heard she is the most beautiful among the blue-tailed mermaids. It's a pity that I didn't see her today."
"This is not easy. After the sacrifice ceremony is over tonight, you can wait at the door of the young prince's palace. You will definitely be able to wait."
"Don't come up with bad ideas. Do you think I'm like that?"
"I think you look like it."

"According to the clues shared, this mural should depict the exorcism ceremony in the baptistery."
Jiang Yubai clicked on clue sharing, looked at the mural in front of him and said thoughtfully: "But, does the mermaid on this mural... look familiar?"
"Brother Sisili."
Lu Xingye hesitated for a moment and said.
"Why is this Xisili like Jiang Yaoqing? She is unlucky wherever she goes."
Jiang Yubai complained silently.
"Look at this mural, first the skin is peeled off, and then the heart is pierced. Sisili is a symbol of the devil, and performing an exorcism ritual on him is tantamount to taking his life."
Jiang Yubai's eyes quickly swept across the mural in front of him, he moved his steps and squinted his eyes: "Look here."
"The exorcism ceremony was over, and Sisili was sealed into a crystal coffin filled with thorns."
"There is also a pupil painted on the outside of the crystal coffin."
Lu Xingye came closer and slowly read out the words written under the crystal coffin.
"flOWer,hOly,bleSSing,aWakenS."
"Flowers, sacred, blessing and awakening."
Jiang Yubai rubbed the English-engraved wall in front of him and frowned: "These English letters were added by later generations. They obviously want to remind us of something, but we have no way of starting yet."
"Let's make a guess. This may be a step in the sacrifice."
"Put flowers, and something will wake up, and..."
Jiang Yubai paused.
"Be blessed."
