Chapter 537: Imprisoned

As they were walking slowly up the mountain, a ethereal and melodious flute sound, like heavenly music, suddenly came from the place where they had just had a fierce confrontation and the atmosphere was tense.

The sound of the flute was melodious and low, as if it had passed through heavy fog and the long river of time, echoing in the air.

A person in a white robe seemed to emerge from the void and stood there quietly.

In its hand, it tightly grasped a jade flute that emitted a soft glow. Its eyes were calm and deep as it gazed from afar at the backs of Aglaya, Lin Yu and the others as they walked away.

After a long while, it sighed softly, and that sigh seemed to contain endless emotion and sighs about the uncertainty of future fate. "Perhaps all this is the ingenious arrangement of the invisible hand of fate."

"The gods and their descendants have reappeared in the world after a long period of silence. This has long since foreshadowed that the land of Omfalos will face a huge change that will shake the world and overturn everything."

"And you, whether you are Aglaya who shoulders the responsibility of protecting the temple, or these outsiders from distant interstellar stars with unknown missions, are very likely to be the most critical and decisive chess pieces in this upcoming wave of change."

Having said this, it paused slightly, and a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of its mouth. It whispered to itself, "Haha... I just don't know, will they be the ones who control the overall situation and dominate the direction of the game, or will they be the ones who are manipulated by fate and have their pieces placed on the chessboard?" After that, it put the jade flute to its lips again and played a more ethereal and misty melody, causing the air around it to tremble slightly.

At the end of the song, he slowly turned around, his clothes fluttering, and his figure gradually blended into the surrounding scenery, as if he had never appeared. Lin Yu and others were so focused on the road ahead and the communication with each other that they were unaware of all this. They just moved steadily towards the depths of the Temple Mount, not knowing that a grand chess game concerning the fate of the entire Omphalos had quietly unfolded under their feet.

...

"Wow... we're really locked up..." San Yue Qi complained bitterly in this so-called "prison". She paced back and forth in the room, her eyes full of helplessness. She looked exactly like a trapped little animal, eager to break free from the cage and return to the vast world.

"This can't be considered closed, right? There are windows and no guardrails, and we are in the same room. This room looks quite luxurious." Lin Yu was relatively calm. He looked around carefully and analyzed in an orderly manner.

The room was spacious and bright, with exquisite tapestries embroidered with patterns hanging on the walls, and soft and thick carpets on the floor, which made almost no sound when you stepped on them.

In the center of the room stands a huge carved bed, the bed curtains of which are made of fine silk, which feels incredibly smooth when you brush it gently.

The tables and chairs on the side are also well-made, with clearly visible wood texture and exuding a faint fragrance.

The window faces a peaceful garden with blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies. Normally, it would be a pleasing sight. But in March Seven's eyes, it seems like scratching an itch through a shoe, and it does not relieve her depressed mood of being "imprisoned" at all.

Ji Zi also echoed, "Lin Yu is right. Aglaya's doing this may only be a temporary expedient. She is also hesitating and observing us." She walked to the window, looked at the unknown area outside the window, and continued thoughtfully, "We can use this time to sort out the information we have learned about this world."

Lin Yu smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, we will always have a chance to go out. I think Aglaya won't let us wait too long. After all, she also knows the importance of what we are talking about to this world."

After hearing this, San Yue Qi calmed down a little. She pouted and walked to the bedside to sit down. She flicked the soft bed curtains and said, "Well, that's all we can do. But Aglaya is really something. Even if she doesn't consider us enemies, she doesn't have to trap us here. I still want to go out and explore the world. Maybe I can find clues about my life experience faster."

"But what information should we sort out? We ran into Aglaya as soon as we got off the train, and three Tibaos with the same name but different personalities. There is no information at all..." March 7 frowned and complained helplessly.

"I don't know what she's talking about investigating. Are you going to investigate near the train?"

"If she really goes to where the train is, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts. After all, Liuying and the others are still nearby, and Aglaya's appearance may be seen as a threat." Jizi responded to March Seven.

"Will they fight again if they run into Liuying?" Sanyueqi said worriedly. "If Aglaya goes there rashly, Liuying and the others will most likely take a defensive or even offensive stance, and then the situation will become even more complicated and difficult to control."

Just then, the door of the room slowly opened, and Aglaya walked in, followed by Tibao.

Aglaya looked at everyone, her expression still grim, but her tone was a little softer than before. "Rest here first. I'll have someone bring you food and water. During this time, don't try to leave. This temple is surrounded by powerful restrictions. Once triggered, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

San Yue Qi couldn't help but stand up. "When will you trust us? We really have no ill intentions, and we still have a lot of things to do. We can't be trapped here forever."

Aglaya frowned slightly and said, "I will investigate your affairs as soon as possible, but before that, you must abide by the rules here." After that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Tibao flew to March Seven and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, sister. Sister Aglaya is doing this for everyone's good. There are many interesting places in this temple. I can take you there when the problem is solved."

"Also, this room is actually Aglaya's room. It's not locked, but that doesn't mean you can come and go freely. What Sister Aglaya said just now is true. There are many restrictions and traps outside!"

San Yueqi looked at Tibao's cute appearance, and her anger disappeared by a large margin. She sighed helplessly, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Tibao."

After Aglaya took Tibao away, the room fell into a brief silence again.
