"We must immediately find out who this person is and whether there are other forces supporting him." Su Xun said seriously, looking around the cave, hoping to find more clues.

Walnut nodded in response, and then continued to look through the books, trying to find information about this person's identity.

Suddenly, her eyes stopped on a special book.

It was a diary, the pages had turned yellow and the cover was a little worn, obviously it had been frequently read and written by the owner.

Walnut opened the diary out of curiosity and found that it was filled with dense handwriting, as if it contained many unknown secrets.

She glanced through it quickly, then let out a sigh of relief, her expression visibly lightening.

"Have you found anything?" After searching in vain, Su Xun returned to Hu Tao and asked her when he saw that she looked strange.

Hu Tao nodded, and handed the book in her hand to Su Xun with a smile: "Look! This man actually wrote a diary. It contains his plans. Take a look." After saying that, she raised her chin and looked at the man in black robe on the bed.

"Diary?" Su Xun looked strange. Who would write a diary?

Taking the diary, Su Xun looked through it carefully.

Ten minutes later, he gently closed the notebook, let out a breath, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

The truth of the matter has become clear. It was indeed the guy who had died on the stone bed who awakened the remnant of the demon Hadils.

This person's story is somewhat dramatic. He was originally a rich young man from Liyue Port, but he disappeared after his family went bankrupt a year ago.

In order to avoid debt collection, he left Liyue Harbor and accidentally discovered forbidden knowledge about summoning and controlling the remnants of demons in an ancient ruin.

Without the Eye of God, he began to conduct in-depth research, hoping to obtain the power of the Demon God to return to Liyue Harbor and revive his family business.

A few days ago, he finally collected all the materials needed to perform the ritual of summoning the demon, and then began his plan with great anticipation.

As a result, after the ceremony was completed, the devil was not summoned as expected, only waves of evil aura emerged.

He mistakenly thought that he had made a mistake in the steps of the ritual, so he returned here in disappointment and planned to study it again.

But he apparently didn't realize that the ritual had actually been successful.

It’s just because Hadils has been sealed for many years. Although he has been awakened, he still needs time to recover his strength before he can fully wake up.

But he was just a mortal after all. After the evil spirit released during the ritual invaded his body, he died shortly after returning to the cave.

Su Xun curled his lips. What a dramatic ending.

He was a little disappointed about this. He thought he was a big boss, but turned out to be just a unlucky guy.

But he was also relieved in his heart. Fortunately, the situation was not that complicated. He hated those conspiracies and intrigues the most. It was better to keep things simple.

Although he has always believed that all conspiracies and tricks are vulnerable in the face of absolute power, he is not that powerful now, so it would be best if things could be resolved easily.

If you think about it carefully, maybe this matter could be resolved even without their involvement. After all, there is no relevant record of this matter in the game.

Even if he and Hu Tao were not there, this matter might have been resolved by the Great Demon Sage Xiao or some other immortal, or even our Lord Emperor would have taken action personally.

After all, although the revival of the demon's remnant is no trivial matter, in the eyes of these big guys, it may just be a small problem that needs a little attention.

Liyue has experienced countless crises, big and small, over the past thousands of years, some of which were even more serious than this one. But under the protection of the immortals and the emperor, it has managed to get through them safely.

Su Xun came back to his senses and shook his head.

Although he believed that the matter could be resolved even without their intervention, as a member of Liyue, since he knew about this matter, he could not sit idly by.

Regardless of whether the immortals or the emperor already know about it, he must take action. This is his sense of responsibility as a Liyue person!

Fortunately, the matter is over, otherwise he would have to worry more.

"What should we do with this dangerous forbidden knowledge?" Walnut asked, pointing at the other books on the table when she saw that he had finished reading the diary.

"What else can we do? Just burn them all. Keeping them will only cause trouble. Do you want to awaken the remnant of the demon god again?" Su Xun said with a smile.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm stupid? Of course I thought so too. I just asked for your opinion!" Walnut snorted proudly, folding her hands.

Su Xun didn't argue with Hu Tao and changed the subject: "Let's burn this cave as well, and then seal it up. This way it should be foolproof."

Kurumi nodded.

So without much hesitation, the two of them took action immediately.

They piled the books together and set fire to a pile of dry materials they had collected. The flames quickly devoured the books containing forbidden knowledge and turned the body of the unfortunate rich boy into ashes.

As the flames died down, the two men completely sealed the entrance to the cave to ensure that nothing would be missed.

When everything was cleaned up, Su Xun and Hu Tao stood at the entrance of the cave, and after watching the last wisp of smoke escape from the gap of the closed cave entrance, they felt relaxed all over.

"Alright! I'm done with my work, let's go back to Liyue Harbor next!"

Su Xun seemed to be hesitant to speak after hearing this. At first, he wanted to go to Wuwangpo with Hu Tao to see real ghosts, and then find a chance to study the essence of the soul. He didn't expect that he hadn't found the opportunity until Hu Tao's business was done.

But he was too embarrassed to speak now because he knew Walnut's character very well.

Although Hu Tao seems careless and rough on weekdays, she is extremely serious about matters of life and death.

Su Xun thought of Hu Tao's obsession with Qi Qi, and she had always hoped to help Qi Qi find relief.

In Hu Tao's opinion, Qiqi has passed away, but her soul is trapped in her body and has become a zombie. It is a great suffering for her to continue suffering in the world.

Burying Qiqi is not only for her personal benefit, but also for the balance of yin and yang order.

Therefore, Hu Tao is extremely disgusted with any behavior that disturbs the souls of the dead, not to mention Su Xun's idea of ​​studying the soul.

Su Xun knew very well that if Hu Tao knew his true thoughts, even if they were friends, Hu Tao would most likely criticize him harshly without any mercy.

Oh, forget it. Since I can't find the opportunity, I'll just give up for now. I can study the soul by myself in the future. There's no need to express my thoughts at this time, so as not to destroy the friendship between me and Walnut.
