Afterward, Chen Nan helped Hu Xingbang collect Hu Jing's remains, and at the same time, he recited scriptures beside her, praying for her soul, hoping she would be reincarnated soon.
Having done these things, Hu Xingbang, looking utterly lost, cradled the remains in his arms and took Chen Nan and the others back to his house. There, he fetched a heavily wrapped notebook from the chimney in the kitchen, along with a USB drive.
"I'm sorry, Taoist priest, I lied to you before," Hu Xingbang said, his eyes void of light, as he recounted, "Before the incident, Xiaojing had come back once, and she gave me this notebook and USB drive."
"She said someone wanted to harm her."
"I didn't know what she had encountered, I hoped she could escape from Jizhou and live in a place where no one recognized her."
"But she said that the other party's power reached the heavens."
"Nevertheless, she was not afraid to die."
