He finally grabbed the dagger by its handle.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
LET ME GO!
LET ME GO, HUMAN!
I WILL DO AS YOU SAY, JUST LET ME GO!"
A voice came at the moment when Shen Hao held the dagger in his hand. The voice sounded like a boy about the same age as Shen Hao, filled with fear.
"I said let me go, please! I will end this tornado, just let me go!"
Shen Hao was very surprised and a little scared. He could not understand where the voice was coming from, so he looked around quickly, furious, but found no one.
"Who... Who... Who are you?!" Shen Hao asked with concern.
"It's me!"
"Where!?"
"In your hand, I'm in your hand!"
Shen Hao looked at the dagger in his hand.
"Hi there!"
The voice actually came out of the dagger.
Shen Hao got a little scared and was about to throw the dagger away but barely managed to hold on to it.
"WAIT!
IT'S YOU!
THAT OLD MAN DIDN'T TELL ME THAT YOU CAN TALK?!" Shen Hao asked in shock.
"Well, although artificial beings like myself can't communicate normally, in some rare cases we can also develop a mouth and a voice to communicate.
So yeah, you can say I can talk," the dagger replied.
Shen Hao stood silently on the clouds, shocked and furious but not knowing how to react.
But then something clicked into Shen Hao's mind.
He turned the dagger around and what he saw explained everything.
There was actually a mouth directly behind the eye — the eye and the mouth were on the handle of the dagger, parallel to each other.
"I see, so that's how it is," Shen Hao calmed himself down and answered calmly.
"So you also developed a mouth as well, huh!"
(I will be needing a long explanation, old man!) Shen Hao thought to himself.
"Excuse me sir, can you let me go now?" the dagger asked.
"And why the hell do you think I will do that?
I have spent so much energy, and that old man has also gone into a deep sleep, and I don't even know when he will wake up now?!
And I did all of this just to catch you!"
"Speaking of which, I need you to clear this tornado — it has destroyed enough of the city!" Shen Hao said to the dagger angrily.
"You must not get angry, Mr. Human!
It's not good for your health."
"JUST DO IT, NOW!"
"AHHHHHHHHH!
OKAY, SORRY!
HERE! HAPPY?" the dagger said in response to Shen Hao.
In a couple of seconds, the tornado started to slowly disappear.
Shen Hao looked around, surprised.
"Wow, so you did listen to me!"
"So what are you going to do with me now, Mr. Human?" the dagger asked in fear.
"First of all, I am not Mr. Human. My name is Shen Hao!"
"Oh! Ah, okay, I get it. Nice name you got there, Mr. Human!"
"Ahhh!
Just forget it!
Now tell me, do you know Mo Han?" Shen Hao asked the dagger.
After hearing Mo Han's name, the dagger was surprised.
"Wait!
You don't mean Master Mo Han, do you?!"
"Yes, the old geezer!"
"You know Master Mo Han, Mr. Shen Hao?!"
"Yeah, unfortunately.
He's my master, and I am his student!
He told me to catch you and find you!"
"Oh! Oh! Oh!
I see! So that must mean you're Master's second disciple?!"
"Yes, you're right about that!
I have been dragged into this mess.
But tell me one thing — how do you know him? You weren't alive when you were created?!"
"Well yes, I was not.
But at the time my master buried me into the ground, he channeled all of his energy to make me even stronger before his death because he knew that no matter what happens, Master Mo Han would eventually find a new student who possesses the Origin Consciousness — no matter how much time it takes.
So, he did it so I could be much stronger and stable when I get into the second master's hands.
But something happened that even my previous master didn't know — when he transferred all his Qi and every type of energy into me, somehow at that point, I also acquired all of his memories.
And those memories awakened when I awakened in this era.
Thus, that is how I know about Master Mo Han."
"But the more important thing is that I am finally awakened and I am finally in the hands of my new master — and with that, my first master's wish is granted."
Shen Hao stood there frozen in the air, surprised and speechless.
But at this point, this kind of thing had become normal for him, so he calmed himself down and didn't overreact.
"I see, so that's your story.
Now let's leave this place and go home first — we'll talk about everything afterward.
But tell me one thing — you won't run away from me again now, will you?" Shen Hao asked with concern.
"OF COURSE NOT!
Now you're my master and my previous master also wanted this. I will not go anywhere!"
"Good!"
And with that, Shen Hao let it go. The dagger was flying in the air and circling around Shen Hao.
"Come on, let's go!"
"YEAH, FINALLY!
Let's go to the second master's home!"
And with that, Shen Hao flew toward his house, and the dagger was also following him easily, keeping up with him.
