Chapter 2012 Dark World
<Nan Hua's POV>
It was dark.
Very dark.
Nothing seemed to be visible all around. After coming to an agreement with that <World consciousness>, Nan Hua felt that her entire world had fallen into darkness. Because all she could see was the darkness around her and there didn't seem to be anything around her.
Yet, her entire senses were not completely cut off either. It was a strange feeling.
As if she was sleeping yet not sleeping at the same time. This made Nan Hua wondered what she should do when she was here and still able to think on her own. After all, the features of her ability was to <see the future while erasing a certain part of the memory in her life.>
So far, Nan Hua didn't know what <memory she had lost because nothing seemed to be out of place from her memory. However, it was not like she particularly remember every details of her long 20 years or so life either.>
And now, <Nan Hua's ability is borrowed by Long Qian Xing, but she was still the one who bear the price. Though, the <World consciousness> had told her that the price has been lessened because she was in this coma state. And technically, she should have no memory at all.>
Yet, Nan Hua found herself in a rather conscious state. "<World consciousness>?" Nan Hua called out. "You won't be able to call that <World consciousness> in this world." A female voice came not far from Nan Hua's position. Turning her body, if she has a body, in this darkness, Nan Hua could see a faint silhouette coming closer to her. Nan Hua blinked her eyes. With a thought, she seemed to form her own body and even though it was still dark all around her, but it was no longer so weird and strange. And as a person who has been raised in the darkness for a long time, Nan Hua has never been afraid of the dark. Because she knew very well that it was her place and also the place where she has always been in her entire life. At least, it was how it is in her previous life. There has never been any light or the so called hope for the future.
Tep.
Nan Hua could feel that she seemed to be stepping on something, a hard yet also soft ground. She was barefooted and seemed to wore normal hanfu black dress. Looking at her current appearance, one would think that she was an assassin or someone who was mourning. Not paying attention to her current appearance, Nan Hua looked forward and the silhouette in front of her become clearer. It formed the image of a person she knew. Yan Jin Nian.
At this moment, Yan Jin Nian was not wearing her Empress Dowager clothes. Instead, she was wearing light scholar robe in dark red color, which seemed to be matching her very well. She looked beautiful and the clothes simply accentuated her figure and disposition. Yan Jin Nian looked at Nan Hua and smiled faintly.
Seeing the current Yan Jin Nian, Nan Hua's eyes flickered slightly. For some reasons, this Yan Jin Nian gave her a different feeling from the Yan Jin Nian whom she met some time ago to do negotiation in Yi Shang Temple. This Yan Jin Nian was more stable and mature than before. Even though the two of them looked more or less the same, but Nan Hua's sensitive senses could still found some differences.
Thus, she stood still and didn't approach Yan Jin Nian. "It's been a while, Hua'er," Yan Jin Nian said with a smile. Looking at Nan Hua's posture that keep her distance but showing nothing on her face, she sighed deeply. In the past, she could not really understand Nan Hua and felt that this girl was quite peculiar. But after some talk with that <World consciousness>, Yan Jin Nian finally came to understand why she always felt that Nan Hua was a bit different. And in truth, Nan Hua was indeed a bit different from ordinary people.
At least, in the sense because of her life experience and how her mind worked in the end. "It's been a while, Empress Dowager Yan," Nan Hua replied unhurriedly.
Her tone was normal and no one could detect her emotions from her words. It seemed as if she was building a barrier around her and not letting anyone to enter in the slightest bit. Yan Jin Nian smiled faintly. "You don't have to put up your guard so much. I'm Yan Jin Nian, the same Yan Jin Nian whom you have been interacting with so far. However, this is me after <my death a few years later from your time.>"
Nan Hua blinked her eyes.
The fact that the <World consciousness> would hide some of their words were not a secret. And for ordinary people, they simply wouldn't be able to hear the words that was said by them even when they said it out loud.
But for those who were also transmigrators, they would also be able to hear and understand the words.
Because the <World consciousness> allowed them to communicate with each other through this special method. Normal people wouldn't be able to notice when this mechanism set by the <World consciousness> was triggered.
But Nan Hua was able to. When Yan Jin Nian was speaking, she could sense that the words and the speed didn't match. There was an extremely small delay between the words and the movement of Yan Jin Nian's mouth.
It meant, even in this dark world that Nan Hua didn't know how to describe, the <World consciousness> was still shielding their words. And her attention came to Yan Jin Nian's words afterwards. Her eyes narrowed.
If what Yan Jin Nian said was true, then how come the two of them meet with each other at this time?
Did she also made some kind of deal with that <World consciousness>?
