Half an hour later, in the activity hall, inside the temporary interrogation room.
Chen Jian sat across from the woman and asked:
"Your name is Ji Xing?"
"Yes."
The woman nodded in response.
"Are you a Blood Source?"
"That's right."
"And now you're the bodyguard of this Huadu person named Bai Xu?"
"Yes."
"And you tied up your employer?"
"I had no choice."
"You want to defect to us?"
"I have no other option."
"Is this Bai Xu your token of allegiance?"
"... I don't know what you mean by a token of allegiance, but I think delivering him to you is more fitting than killing him outright."
Upon hearing Ji Xing's answer, Chen Jian slowly nodded.
The story Ji Xing told seemed quite reasonable: a guard disconnected from the Holy Blood Temple, accidentally discovering Huadu's conspiracy during a mission, and after determining there was no other way out—decided to tie up her employer and turn to Yellow Stone City.
