After the dirty thing was blown away, the true appearance of this madwoman was revealed. Her back was full of white hair, floating in the wind, like the legendary long-haired witch, but surprisingly, her face was very young, no older than twenty-five. This madwoman was no longer muddle-headed as before; terrifying light flickered in her eyes as she began to recall sothing.
After a while, the madwoman spoke, "Who am I? I am Gu Xiaolan. What’s wrong with ? I went mad. What’s happening to now? I’ve regained my sanity."
It turned out this madwoman was the long-missing Gu Xiaolan. No one knew what she had gone through to end up in this place, living as a madwoman for such a long ti. Then Gu Xiaolan muttered to herself, "What ti is it now? Where am I? How did this explosion happen?"
The clear-minded Gu Xiaolan found herself amidst a terrifying explosion. While she was speculating on what was happening, she discovered a figure appearing in front of her. However, this figure was sowhat nebulous, drifting uncertainly in the smoke, and no matter how she adjusted her vision, she couldn’t clearly see who this figure was.
Before she went mad, Gu Xiaolan had already beco a God-Level Expert. Regaining her sanity, she felt a surge of power within her body, a feeling of having everything under control. But when she saw this figure, she realized she couldn’t make out who it was and knew this figure was very unusual, likely stronger than herself. Instead of rushing to fight, she asked, "Who are you?"
The figure responded in a strange, neutral tone, "Gu Xiaolan, do you know what happened to you before?"
Gu Xiaolan hesitated for a mont and said, "I... did I go mad?"
The figure said, "Yes, you were driven mad by longing for a child you never t, combined with betrayal by a man. The dual tornt of heart and physical body broke your sanity, turning you into a madwoman."
Gu Xiaolan asked, "Did I do anything bad during my madness?"
The figure said, "No, although you went mad, you didn’t do anything chaotic. During your madness, you wandered all over China until you ca to this Park, where you stayed without leaving again."
Gu Xiaolan asked, "How long was I mad?"
The figure said, "Your state of madness lasted for a year and a half."
Gu Xiaolan thought for a mont and said, "Since I went mad, why did I suddenly regain my sanity?"
The figure said, "The reason you suddenly regained your sanity is that there is an imminently happening major event that will have far-reaching impacts, and I need your strength to awaken you."
Gu Xiaolan said, "What kind of major event?"
The figure said, "I can’t tell you now."
Gu Xiaolan looked at this figure but could never see through who it was, so she asked, "Who are you?"
The figure said, "As for , I’m just an insignificant little person, not worth ntioning. You just need to rember one point, that I’m here to help you. Even though I will borrow your strength, I will bring you benefits too, so the relationship between us is mutually beneficial."
Before going mad, Gu Xiaolan was unbeatable, with no criminal able to escape her capture, earning the title of one of the Four Major Famous detectives alongside Zhuge Liuyun. However, Gu Xiaolan had a poor choice in people, not only getting severely injured by Zhuge Liuyun but also being threatened with her daughter by the sa, resulting in her falling into a state of madness, wandering aimlessly for an unknown duration.
But once Gu Xiaolan regained her composure, her usual ticulous thinking returned. She looked at the figure and said, "You claim to be an insignificant person, but I think you’re indeed a significant figure. You don’t want to see your face, which only indicates one thing: you are soone I know, or rather, I recognize you."
The figure smiled, "Gu Xiaolan is indeed Gu Xiaolan, able to deduce that point just after regaining her sanity. Quite impressive."
Gu Xiaolan wasn’t dazzled by the complint and continued, "You are soone I know, but during my madness, you didn’t help regain my sanity, so you are definitely not my friend, possibly even my enemy. You’re helping regain normalcy now only because you need sothing from and want to borrow my strength, right? If I am not mistaken, what you want to do is extrely dangerous and might cost my life, isn’t that so?"
The figure clapped and said, "Worthy of being the most deserving among the Four Major Famous detectives, although you show the ability to capture criminals outwardly, you’re actually the most comprehensive one. Your case analysis is not beneath the others, and you alone can equal the Four Major detectives. Despite going mad once, you possess such acute insight just after regaining sanity. Truly admirable."
Gu Xiaolan said, "State your purpose! I don’t want to hear nonsense."
The figure said, "Alright, I admit, I indeed want to borrow your strength this ti, and the task I want you to do is very dangerous. But from another perspective, I am also here to help you. If you complete the task I give you, I can grant you one wish."
