Chapter 1870: Only The Destined One Can Open It
Gu Xijiu was surprised. Without a second thought, she hit the rock again with her weapon along the path of her blood. It was rather easy, this time, like cutting soft tofu. The rock was starting to take a boxy shape. Finally, she exerted her force for the last time.
One side of the rock was cut open, revealing what was inside. Within it lay the crimson box. She could finally see the shape of the box. The box accentuated a unique, vintage design, and looked heavy. On its cover, there was an emerald of lively luminosity.
She finally found the box! Gu Xijiu was relieved to know that her trip was not in vain. She put the box away in her storage bag. Another look at the rock reminded her of a phrase. ’Fate has brought the lovers together, with a love that lasts for an eternity. When the love comes to an unpalatable end, one’s heart must be buried away, deeply in a sealed box.’
The box had indeed been buried here. Did it end up here because of a heartbreak? Gu Xijiu pondered for a moment at the scene. The place was burning with extreme temperatures after the rock had been shattered. Now that Gu Xijiu had found what she desired, she was reluctant to stay any longer. Swiftly, she exited.
She returned to her bedroom, sitting and studying the box attentively. The box was considerably light for her. She twisted and turned the box several times, but failed to figure out the opening mechanism.
She shook the box to hear what was inside, but no sound was heard. She tried to recall the dream again. The man in her dream held a bracelet in his hand, while the man in her vision held a handful of shattered pieces instead. Did the bracelet become shattered?
Was the box carrying the pieces of the bracelet? If there were pieces in the box, surely there would be noise, but she could not hear anything in it.
Gu Xijiu was an expert in unlocking different mechanisms. However, it was different this time. After hiding in her bedroom for a couple of weeks, she still could not find out a way to open the box. There did not seem to be an opening.
