Chapter 308: The Man’s Identity
Aldrian returned to the inn in the afternoon and noticed that one of the upper floors of the building had a broken wall being repaired by the inn’s staff. The floor in question was the same as his group’s, sparking his curiosity about what had happened as he walked toward it. Deciding to ask his group directly, he headed to Xin Haotian’s room, where he sensed their presence along with an unknown unconscious man.
Upon entering the room, Aldrian found his group gathered there as expected. However, his curiosity lingered on the unfamiliar man lying on the bed. Sylphia approached Aldrian with a smile, seemingly aware of the questions forming in his mind.
"I know you have questions, but while you were gone, something happened," Sylphia said. She then explained what had occurred in the destroyed room and why she decided to save the man.
Aldrian raised his eyebrows as he finally understood the reason. He glanced at the man again, activating his Eyes of the Heaven. The information revealed that the man’s name wasn’t Larson. However, the fact that he intended to leave a sign with the name Larson written on a piece of paper must hold some significance.
He then walked over to the unconscious man and placed a hand on his forehead. Attempting to read the man’s memories, Aldrian soon discovered a mind seal within the man’s mindscape. Such a seal indicated that the man was likely part of an organization.
The seal, however, wasn’t complicated for Aldrian. With little effort, he broke it and delved into the man’s memories. After a few minutes, a smile spread across his face. The others, noticing Aldrian’s sudden expression, immediately understood that he had uncovered something useful to him.
After a few moments, Aldrian finally stopped reading the man’s memories. Then with a jolt of lightning, he attempted to wake him up. The unconscious man instantly gasped awake, startled by the shock to his soul, and looked around at his surroundings.
"Wait, I’m still alive?" the man thought.
He was certain he had died after suffering a fatal stab wound and poison strong enough to kill him. However, it seemed he had survived, as he recognized the room as one belonging to an inn. Glancing at the strangers gathered around him, he assumed they were the ones who had saved him.
