Chapter 1466
Although the woman in the painting wasn't willing to elaborate on her association with Gu Qingcheng, Han Sen thought it might have been for the best . Gu Qingcheng was most likely watching his every move, anyway .
But Han Sen got ahead of himself, and it turned out she hadn't actually seen him enter the painting . She watched him intently, but she had only seen Han Sen standing in front of the stone doing absolutely nothing . She hadn't seen him enter the image on the rock, at all .
Han Sen spent much time mulling over the relationship between the green-clothed woman and Gu Qingcheng, but he couldn't come up with any plausible theories .
The next morning, Gu Qingcheng came looking for Han Sen in the garden . His heart leaped when he saw her, fearing she might have known about his brief stint inside the painting .
"I'm leaving the shelter for a while . For the duration I am gone, you'd best stay put in the garden," Gu Qingcheng said, surprising Han Sen .
"I'm stuck here . I don't know where I'd go even if I did leave . " Han Sen exaggerated a shrug .
"You know what I mean . " Gu Qingcheng turned to leave, not willing to spare time explaining things any further than that .
"Where are you going?" Han Sen asked .
Gu Qingcheng hesitated and answered, "To get something . If you can make the holy child revive, it'd be good for you and her both . But remember, you'll have to wake her up first . "
Before she left completely, she said one more thing: "While I'm gone, don't set one foot outside this garden . "
Han Sen knew what she was implying . There was every chance the Elysium might come for him wielding pitchforks in her absence, so it was best for him to stick to the safety of the garden .
Han Sen knew this was her way of being nice to him, but her absence still made for his best chance of escaping .
The next day, Han Sen decided not to follow Gu Qingcheng's commands . Instead, he slipped out of the garden and made his way to the geno core storage .
No one confronted him on his way there, and although the spirits looked at him with extra hostility, they did nothing . As usual, they simply tried to kill him with a nasty stare .
Han Sen went back and forth a few times from there . With no threats and nothing prohibiting his coming and going, he really did think this would make for the perfect chance to escape .
Many spirits and creatures were coming and going on the east side of Elysium Shelter . They did not belong to Elysium Shelter, and it seemed as if some manner of business had brought them hither .
Han Sen watched them for two days, and over the course of that time, he saw many more creatures and spirits than he had expected . There wasn't much in the way of security, either . Han Sen figured he'd be able to hide in the crowds to slip out . All he needed to do was pick the right opportunity for making a move, something he wagered would not be difficult .
"An emperor class shelter has this glaring vulnerability? No way . This has to be some sort of trap . Perhaps this is all a ruse established by the Elysium, setting me up for an easy excuse to take my life . If I stay, they'll have no reason or just cause for killing me . I'll be safe . If I leave, they'll undoubtedly cherish the ability to hunt me down," Han Sen thought with concern .
Han Sen hesitated to depart . It looked like a great opportunity for an escape, but it looked like a trap, too .
"You want to leave?" As Han Sen wondered what he should do, the green-clothed woman spoke to him from the stone .
