~6 min read 1,163 words

Arlecchino looks at the Debt Collector with some confusion, and the latter nods.

"My subordinate dares not deceive you, my lords, Shushan's assessment really only has the Heart-Questioning Array."

"Stepping through one layer of the Heart-Questioning Array allows one to become an outer sect disciple and stay in Shushan."

"Stepping through three layers of the Heart-Questioning Array allows one to become an inner sect disciple."

"But most people were eliminated as soon as they entered, and my subordinate was one of them."

Saying this, the Debt Collector still looks a bit ashamed.

The Cryo Archon frowns and says:

"What exactly is this Heart-Questioning Array?"

This question is too important, concerning the Cryo Archon's subsequent plans.

Since it has been determined that cultivation is a more promising path, her original plan might not be necessary.

According to Ganyu's strength at the peak of Essence Refining and Qi Transformation, who can kill a top-tier Archon in seconds.

Zhongli and the others are in the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, and they are probably already rampant in Teyvat, and even if there is Heavenly Principles, they are not afraid.

Then the Cryo Archon's plan only needs to reach the peak of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation to be perfect.

Joining Shushan, her problems are all not problems.

But now, she needs to know the situation of Shushan's Heart-Questioning Array.

"Heart-Questioning Array..."

The Debt Collector purses his lips and says slowly:

"The so-called Heart-Questioning Array is a hallucinatory array intended to examine whether the person seeking immortality has a firm Dao heart and nature, etc."

It doesn't sound like a particularly troublesome array.

But if a cultivation sect only has this ability, can they still be cultivators?

And, is it just that simple to eliminate so many people?

The Cryo Archon thinks it's impossible.

"Tell the truth!"

Arlecchino frowns, staring at the Debt Collector.

The latter panics and says hurriedly:

"My subordinate really didn't lie, it's just... it's just that the array is different from the illusion arrays we know."

"That array... is too evil!"

"Once you step into it, you will forget everything about cultivation, and then..."

"Live a life all over again, from birth to death."

Hearing this, the three of them show shock.

"What do you mean! Tell us in detail, from beginning to end!"

Signora stares at him, and the latter nods and says slowly:

"At that time, after my subordinate stepped into the Heart-Questioning Array, I felt as if I had fallen into a bottomless black hole."

"After I woke up, it was as if I had returned to Snezhnaya, and I had forgotten everything about cultivation."

"There was absolutely no trace of Shushan or cultivation in that illusion array."

"I lived a peaceful life day after day, and later..."

Saying this, the Fatui says with a guilty conscience:

"Later... later in that environment, Lady Signora died, Lord Scaramouche went missing, I had an opportunity to become a Harbinger, and then..."

"I used some dishonorable means, and after that, I was kicked out of the Heart-Questioning Array."

After the Debt Collector finished speaking, Signora's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

She says coldly:

"In your heart, am I that deserving of death?"

"No! Lady Signora!"

The Debt Collector says hurriedly:

"After my subordinate was eliminated, I heard the exchange of inner sect disciples on the side."

"They said that the first layer of the Heart-Questioning Array was cast by the Sect Master by intercepting a part of Teyvat's destiny trajectory."

"Therefore, many things are very likely to happen."

"In my illusion array, Lady Signora died in the process of searching for the Gnosis in Inazuma."

"So, Lady Signora, please be careful."

As soon as the words fall, Signora sneers:

"Careful? Shouldn't you be hoping that I go to Inazuma and die, and then you get a chance to take my place?"

It can be seen that Signora is really very angry, and if this Debt Collector weren't the only source of information, she would have frozen him into an ice sculpture long ago.

"Signora, calm down, it's just an illusion."

The Cryo Archon's eyes are gloomy and uncertain, and she believes seven or eight points of what the Debt Collector said.

According to Signora's style, according to the Raiden Shogun's style.

What the Debt Collector said is really not impossible.

Thinking about this, the Cryo Archon says softly:

"Although it is an illusion, since it was made by that powerful Sect Master, we should still be vigilant."

"Signora, you don't need to go on the subsequent mission for the Inazuma Gnosis."

"Coincidentally, the importance of the Gnosis also needs to be lowered. Currently, everything is based on cultivation."

Signora nods and says softly:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After saying that, she glares at the Debt Collector.

Although she herself wants to stay in Liyue to study cultivation, but...

This is definitely not the excuse!

"So, you lived a life in the illusion, and because you faced a choice, you made a decision that did not meet Shushan's requirements."

"So you were excluded."

The Cryo Archon summarizes the Debt Collector's mistakes, and the latter nods with some disappointment.

"The Heart-Questioning Array is mysterious, and there is no way to make any advance preparations."

"Baiwen and the others said, the Heart-Questioning Array, a moment of floating life, a life in a moment, the Heart-Questioning Array itself is to condense a person's life into a single moment."

"Therefore, Shushan never worries about anyone cheating on the Heart-Questioning Array, even if they know in advance what the Heart-Questioning Array is, they can't prepare."

"This exam called life cannot be cheated on."

"This is Baiwen's original words."

Hearing this, the Cryo Archon and the others silently agreed with Baiwen's words.

After entering, all memories about cultivation are forgotten.

Living day by day, year by year, all over again.

Under the scouring of memories of years and decades, how can one cheat in this situation?

The means of cultivators are simply not something they can resist.

The specific effect of the Heart-Questioning Array is right there, but...

What if you know?

You can cheat on other exams, can you cheat on your own life forever?

If you really can, then you are a talent, and Shushan doesn't mind accepting you.

But the most critical thing is, this is only the first layer of the Heart-Questioning Array!

Nine layers of heart-questioning, doesn't that mean you have to live nine lives?

What kind of ruthless person can do this kind of thing!

"Joining the inner sect requires living three lives... Tartaglia lived six lives? I underestimated him."

Signora rubs her temples, feeling somewhat emotional.

The Debt Collector scratches his cheek and says in a low voice:

"Actually, more than six lives, after Lord Childe passed the six layers, he also entered the seventh, but he didn't persist to the end and was sent away early."

"Strictly speaking, it was six and a half lives."
