"Who could that senior be?" I wondered. "He talked about Vivi as if it's not an AI but actually a living being."
After pondering for a few seconds, there was only one thing I figured out. "This mark holds far greater secrets than I thought," I said, touching my forehead. As for the rest of the things, I shrugged my shoulders and put them aside.
I pushed myself into a sitting position and murmured as I looked around, "Where am I this time?"
I was inside a huge empty hall with numerous stone statues of beasts placed parallel on both sides of the walls. In front of me were inclined stairs leading into darkness, while behind me was a transparent sealed gate covered with numerous magic circles.
"Why haven't I returned to the forest?" I thought inwardly. "And this place looks oddly familiar. Where have I seen it before? Oh, right."
I flicked my finger as my memory refreshed. "This is the throne room of Gumiho I saw in Vyaghra's memories."
