Zhao Ming hurriedly put away the paper on which she was writing and hid it inside her closet. She went to meet Shen Jia right away. She can't waste any more time. If she managed to find the thing on time, then they can end this curse for once and all.

  This way, her and the real Zhao Ming's life will be peaceful. Otherwise, just as Shen Jia said, the curse might repeat itself and will lead them to their doom.

  …..

  When Zhao Ming reached Shen Jia's chamber, she was in the middle of her meditation. She pursed her lips and sat on the chair quietly waiting for her to be done with her meditation.

  She was sitting on edges by waiting for her to be done with it. After an hour later, Shen Jia finally got up from her meditation.

  Zhao Ming who was on the verge of falling asleep woke up with a jerk and mumbled, "I……I find out……I know what……"

  Shen Jia shook her head seeing her mumbling in her sleepy state. She can't believe that she is the reincarnation of her dear Zhao Ming. How can they be so different? She chuckled seeing her actions and passed her a cup of warm tea.

  " Drink this and then talk"

  Zhao Ming took the cup and gulped the warm tea which was not too hot and drank in one go. She sighed in relief after she soothed her parched throat. Her eyes and mind were as clear as the white snow now.

  She looked at Shen Jia with a smile and determination in her eyes, " Aunt Shen Jia, I found that thing. I finally found the thing which is attached to my past."

  Shen Jia frowned hearing her words and turned serious. She looked around to make sure, no one was around and asked in a low voice, " What is it?"

  If Zhao Ming has found that thing, then they can successfully carry on their plan and end this curse for good now.

  Zhao Ming smiled and started the story with how she decided to write down everything about her dream and how she was feeling lethargic after not finding anything for hours.

  Shen Jia's nose flared up in frustration as she said sternly, " Will you get to the main point?"

  Zhao Ming pursed her lips and ignoring her words, she continued her storytelling.

  " However, what I saw in that picture blew my mind. There was a hairpin in Ji Cheng's Grandmother's portrayal. And I have seen the exact hairpin in my dreams as well."

  Zhao Ming finally reached the main point, even Shen Jia was surprised hearing this.

  " In your dreams? Where?".

  " That girl Tan Xiu who was crying sorrowfully surrounded by dead bodies, she was the one who used to wear that hairpin. That hairpin seems to be dear to her as she always wears it. I wouldn't have noticed it but since I have written everything, I remembered that it must be something special just like a glass shoe or magic wand. That's how I thought about this hairpin." She said with a proud smile on her face.

  She can't believe she found out about this mystery before than anyone else.

  Shen Jia frowned and asked, " Cry……stal shoo? Maagik……what? What are you saying?" She couldn't catch up with the words Zhao Ming was saying in a foreign language.

  Zhao Ming shook her head and said, " That's not the main point. The main thing is……I found out about it. Now since we know about this thing, what should we do to end this curse?"

  Shen Jia stayed silent for a few minutes and spoke, " We still don't know if this hairpin is really cursed or not. I need to see it and check if the hairpin has dark energy with it or not."

  " Did you bring the hairpin with you?" She asked which caused Zhao Ming's lips to twitch.

  She bit her lower lips and said hesitantly, "Erm……I…. don't have it with me."

  " Then is it in your room? Then go and bring it. Then we can find out if it's really cursed or not."

  Zhao Ming clasped her hands together as she blinked her eyes and said, " Actually, I don't know where it is."

  Shen Jia frowned and her expressions turned grave hearing Zhao Ming's words.

  " I have only heard about this hairpin and have never seen it. They have said that this hairpin was with Zhao Ming and she used to wear it frequently. However, it disappeared the day she fell into the pond. No one could find that hairpin since that day."

  " So, you are saying you don't have this hairpin at this moment and no one has ever seen it since the day Zhao Ming went unconscious?" Shen Jia asked again.

  She fell silent seeing Zhao Ming nod.

  However, she remembered something as she said, " Do you have a picture of that hairpin with you?"

  Zhao Ming shook her head and said, " I don't have a picture since it's on the wall in my chamber. But I can draw for you if you want to see it. Should I?"

  Shen Jia nodded and passed her a dusky paper and a wooden stick and ink. Zhao Ming drew the hairpin exactly what she had seen. Even though it was not perfect considering the fact that she was using a wooden stick not a pen or pencil, but it was still better than others. Since she used to draw sketches of costumes and models, so she was pretty good at sketching.

  In no time, she drew a sketch of the hairpin.

  "Here", she passed it to Shen Jia, who latter took and looked at it carefully. Her eyes opened in shock as she remembered that she had seen this hairpin as well.

  " This……Zhao Ming also has this hairpin." She said with her eyes widened in shock.

  Zhao Ming frowned and nodded," Of course, it is Zhao Ming's hairpin. We just need to find where it is.".

  " That's not what I mean. When I went into your world, I saw Zhao Ming on the road treating an injured woman using her acupuncture needles. I saw this hairpin in her hand. This was the same hairpin that Zhao Ming was using and it's in your world now."

  "-_-"

  Zhao Ming was shocked hearing her words. What?

  She felt her head spinning. The thing she was finding all over was with Zhao Ming?

  " But shouldn't I also have one in this world as well? I mean, think about it, she has one with her, then should I also have one in this world right? To make the curse effective in this world?" She tried to make her words as clear as possible.

  Shen Jia sighed seeing her trying to make sense out of her words. The whole theory is too complex that it was hard for them to understand it.
