Swordsman was a name that humans were ashamed of. Therefore, it was buried deep in the river of history. Other than some professional history textbooks that would mention it, most humans did not know about it.
The name Swordsman appeared on the 12th day after the apocalypse, which was when some humans in the old Yanjing City began to synchronize with the Sword Ladies that appeared in large numbers. In the end, they discovered that they had the power to fight against Yuankou. In the end, they were unified by the government, and the government gave them a unified name.
At that time, in order to make it easier to remember, the government gave the name Swordsman. The Swordladies were not called Swordladies, but Swordslaves. At that time, humans were focused on the battle, so they were not interested in whether the name Swordsman sounded good or not. It was only when humans retreated into the Dimensional Gap that they began to recuperate for about ten years.
Then, some people suggested that the name Swordsman was not nice to hear and was an insulting name. Later on, Kenzu stood his ground and changed the name to Swordwielder. It was said that this was the name that Kenzu had thought of from the beginning. However, after he arrived in Yanjing City, due to the strong control of the government, Kenzu had no choice but to listen to the government and accept the name Swordsman.
Later on, when humans realized that the Swordlady was the foundation of battle and the name Swordslave was a huge insult to the Swordlady, humans changed the name of Swordslave to Swordlady. Since then, the name had never been changed.
After the appearance of Swordwielder, Yuan Kou also changed the name to Swordwielder, and the name Swordwielder was no longer heard.
Therefore, the name Swordsman had not existed for more than three years in human history. This meant that only Yuan Kou, who was active three years before the apocalypse, would say the name Swordsman.
However, based on Guhan's understanding, Misaka Mikoto was used to being called Swordwielder. When they were together, Guhan had never heard Misaka Mikoto say the name Swordwielder.
However, not only did Misaka Mikoto not know the name of Swordwielder, but she had also said Swordwielder's name … Excluding the possibility that Misaka Mikoto was deliberately using the name to insult Guhan, there was only one explanation. Misaka Mikoto had never heard of the name Swordwielder.
Guhan could not help but feel excited. Could it be that Misaka Mikoto was …
"Miss Mikoto, when you entered this place, were humans still hiding in the dimensional rift …" Before Guhan could finish his sentence, the world began to change again. Misaka Mikoto disappeared before Guhan's eyes.
"Let me analyze this … If Miss Mikoto really entered the Seamless Corridor three years ago when humans were still called Swordwielder, doesn't that mean that Miss Misaka Mikoto had entered the Seamless Corridor a thousand years ago?!" Guhan made a shocking guess.
This guess should not be underestimated. The information contained in it was undoubtedly important to Guhan.
This was because Guhan had interacted with Misaka Mikoto for a very long time. He was very sure that Misaka Mikoto was still alive in the real world a thousand years later.
If Misaka Mikoto really entered the Seamless Corridor a thousand years ago, didn't that mean that Misaka Mikoto had left the Seamless Corridor and was able to appear in the world a thousand years later?
If Guhan's guess was correct, it also meant that the Seamless Corridor was not a place where one could not escape. At the very least, Misaka Mikoto had successfully escaped from the Seamless Corridor. Moreover, it was very likely that she had escaped with her Jōjō Dōma.
"Oh right!
I remember now. According to the human records, Misaka Mikoto only appeared on the third day after the apocalypse. After that, there were no other records of her for more than six hundred years.
Only four hundred years ago did it suddenly appear in human records. "
"At that time, the humans thought that Misaka Mikoto was living alone in a place unknown to the humans. Now that I look at it, Misaka Mikoto might have been trapped in the Seamless Corridor for a total of six hundred years and only managed to escape the Seamless Corridor four hundred years ago.
That's right, that must be the case. I still remember Misaka Mikoto saying that she was separated from Jōjō Dōma when she first came to this world. At that time, she was looking for Jōjō Dōma all over the world and did not care about anything else.
If that's the case, then the fact that Misaka Mikoto accidentally entered the Seamless Corridor while looking for Jōjō Dōma makes sense! "
Guhan speculated excitedly. He was becoming more and more certain that Misaka Mikoto had entered the Seamless Corridor before and had successfully escaped.
As long as Misaka Mikoto could escape, he would definitely be able to leave the Seamless Corridor as well. The only difference was how long it took.
However, there was still one doubt in Guhan's mind. Before he entered the Seamless Corridor, he had clearly told Misaka Mikoto that he was going to the Seamless Corridor to save Artoria.
As for Misaka Mikoto, other than telling him that it was a mysterious and dangerous area, she did not say anything else.
Based on his relationship with Misaka Mikoto, would Misaka Mikoto hide the secret of the Seamless Corridor from him and not tell him how to leave the Seamless Corridor?
Or could it be that Misaka Mikoto had never entered the Seamless Corridor and it was all just his speculation?
Or could it be that after leaving the Seamless Corridor, all memories would be erased and Misaka Mikoto had forgotten everything that happened in the Seamless Corridor?
All sorts of speculations gave Guhan a headache. He desperately wanted to meet Misaka Mikoto again and ask her about it. Unfortunately, for the next year, Guhan did not meet Misaka Mikoto again.
Yes, that's right. In the time it took to say those few words, Gu Han had already spent an entire year in the Seamless Corridor … but Gu Han hadn't met anyone important at all.
Of course, it was not as if he did not gain anything. At least, Guhan met more than ten different Yuan Kou. Through these Yuan Kou's transactions and communication, Guhan found out a lot of information about Misaka Mikoto and Artoria.
For example, the latest Misaka Mikoto that Yuan Kou met was in the year 545. At that time, Misaka Mikoto was still looking for Jōjō Dangma. More than five hundred years had passed and Misaka Mikoto had not found Jōjō Dangma. Misaka Mikoto's mental state was on the verge of a breakdown.
There was also Artoria. Many other Yuan Kou met Artoria. Except for one Artoria that Yuan Kou met who was more normal and willing to communicate with others, the other Artoria that Yuan Kou met were extremely quiet. She seemed to have no interest in interacting with anyone. She would just walk by quietly and ignore others even if they took the initiative to talk to her.
To everyone who lived in the Seamless Corridor, this was without a doubt an extremely strange situation.
Due to the long and monotonous life, whenever Yuan Kou met a living person, he would immediately talk to them excitedly and would not let go of any opportunity to talk.
However, Artoria was so cold and indifferent. This made Guhan very worried.
There were usually only two possibilities for someone to be able to remain indifferent in a place like the Seamless Corridor.
First, Artoria's mental fortitude had reached an extremely terrifying level. Even a few hundred years of lonely life would not make Artoria feel bored.
This possibility sounded very likely, but in reality, Guhan did not think that Artoria's mental fortitude was that strong. From the various information and interactions in the game, Artoria was actually a girl who could not withstand loneliness.
If the first possibility was impossible, then the second possibility was extremely likely. Artoria's mental state had completely collapsed. Although she was still walking, her soul and self-consciousness had already collapsed. This was the situation that Guhan did not want to see the most.
…
"Qigong!
We meet again! "
When Guhan saw the next Yuan Kou he ran into, a smile appeared on his face. This Yuan Kou was naturally the first Yuan Kou that Guhan had met in the Seamless Corridor, Hong Qigong.
"Oh!
It's you!
I've finally met you. The books you gave me last time were terrible. They were all gone before I even finished half of them. I was dying for them! "
Hong Qigong jumped up in excitement the moment he saw Guhan. According to what Hong Qigong said, although Guhan had only met him a year ago, it had been more than 70 years since Hong Qigong and Guhan had met. Of course, those novels that had no sequels would make Hong Qigong jump up and down in excitement.
"No problem!
I'll give these books to you, Qigong! "
This time, Guhan was very generous. He directly gave all 20 novels in his dimensional pocket to Hong Qigong. Hong Qigong was so happy that his beard became crooked.
However, Hong Qigong felt a little awkward after his happiness. "You're so generous, but if I were to take your things for free, it would be too unsightly!"
"It's no big deal!
Just treat this as a gift from this junior to you, Qigong! "Gu Han smiled.
"No!
I'm not an ungrateful person like Old Poison. But I don't have any more novels to give you. I've already given them to others! "
Hong Qigong grabbed at his tattered clothes and gritted his teeth. He took out two antique books and handed them to Guhan. "Forget it, this book is for you. It should be enough to exchange for your 20 novels!"
"Nine Yin Sutra, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?" Gu Han looked at the names of the two books in his hands and read them out curiously.
