Chapter 192 Twin Boss Line
Chu Li closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf. The dark red title was inconspicuous among the countless fancy books around it.
——《Barbary? Falling Dead》
A deep-sea city that was once extremely prosperous and almost identical to the Holy City of Aletta, but eventually fell to the bottom of the sea and completely perished.
The book says that the curse killed all? people and destroyed the city, and at the end it mentions that "a pair of brothers and sisters" walked out of the ruins of the fallen? dead city - obviously, the author almost? explicitly indicated that the brother and sister would be? the "protagonists" of the next part.
So the question is, are there any other survivors in the fallen city of "Barbary"?
Where are those supporting characters who were ignored by the author "Yelena" now?
In addition to Barbary mentioned in this book, are there more ruins of cities that have long fallen but have not made any sound in the vast deep sea?
And among those wreckage and ruins, did more "supporting characters" emerge?
With strange emotions, Chu Li turned around and walked towards the door of the library, picked up the book on the table and prepared to go back to the house to continue reading.
However, the moment he pushed open the door, the familiar smell in the air dissipated at an extremely fast speed.
The bright and dazzling light was still shining outside the window opposite, and the clean window glass reflected the figure at the door of the treasure room. The pair of scarlet eyes that suddenly turned cold were particularly terrifying.
The sound of footsteps came from one end of the corridor, and finally stopped ten meters away.
"Good afternoon. The weather is pretty good today, right? Why do you look so unhappy? Who offended you?"
As if he hadn't noticed the change in the atmosphere, Bo Qu put his hands in his pockets and greeted Chu Li with a smile. His eyes behind the glasses fell gently on the other's face, which contained some strange meaning.
Chu Li glanced at him coldly, without any response, and turned around and walked towards the stairs.
Bai Qu did not chase after him, but stretched out his tone and said slowly: "The head priest asked me to bring you a few words. The bartender's position is still vacant, you can come back at any time - as long as you don't end up buried in the sea."
And the only response he got was a figure that disappeared around the corner of the corridor without hesitation.
"You're so cold. I'm just reminding you kindly." Bo Qu pushed his glasses. The reflection in the window glass beside him seemed to have some strange smile.
"Then next, while everyone's attention is on the Holy City of Aletta, let's contact the people there and speed up."
He took out the communicator from his pocket, turned around and walked to the other side of the corridor, and disappeared into the dark shadows in the blink of an eye.
The dazzling, bright light shone through the window glass into the empty corridor, silently emitting a faint golden glow.
…………
Chu Xiuyan stepped into the twisted and strange portal.
The vision recovered from the brief darkness and suddenly became bright and broad.
“Wow—wow—”
In my ears is the sound of waves hitting the beach, one after another, like the sound of tiny drum beats, crackling.
The air is filled with a strong, salty, slightly fishy smell, but not unpleasant, but rather a unique flavor.
Chu Xiuyan stood there in a daze, his feet were soft sand, slightly wet, and he couldn't help but crush it with his toes.
“Chirp—Chirp—”
The cry of a seagull suddenly sounded, like a clear whistle, high-pitched and loud, cutting through the sky.
Chu Xiuyan was concentrating on digging a hole in the beach with his toes, when he was attracted by the sudden sound of birdsong. The moment he turned his head, the vast sea, which was sparkling with the dazzling sunlight, came into his sight. There were flying fish leaping out of the water in groups, and in the distance there seemed to be whales making long calls.
A gust of sea breeze blew in my face, mixed with the salty taste of sea water, cool, moist, and particularly fresh, making me shudder.
It was as if some indescribable mysterious power emerged from the depths of his soul, causing Chu Xiuyan to freeze in place.
A few seconds later, a voice suddenly sounded on the beach, where there was only the sound of waves and birdsong.
"Hey, you? How long are you going to stand there?"
As these words rang out, the rustling sound of leaves blown by the sea breeze became louder and louder, almost completely drowning out the sound of waves hitting the beach.
Chu Xiuyan finally came to his senses and looked around again. On the left was the vast sea, on the right was the lush forest, and in the bright blue sky there were occasionally white clouds floating. Everything looked exceptionally comfortable.
And ten meters in front of him, there was a huge parasol deeply embedded in the beach, under the parasol was a round tea table, and on both sides of the tea table sat two identical blonde girls.
The first one to speak? The girl on the right, with fair skin, delicate features, and a fluffy black skirt that reaches her ankles, and golden curly hair? A butterfly-shaped black hairpin on the right side, looks extremely cute and pretty.
However, at this moment, he propped up his chin with one hand, tilted his head and looked at Chu Xiuyan with displeasure in his dark green eyes, and exuded a casual and willful aura.
The girl opposite her who looked the same was wearing clothes of completely opposite colors, a white fluffy long skirt that reached her ankles, delicate white hairpins, her back straight, one hand holding the handle of the teacup, and every move she made looked exceptionally elegant and calm.
"Elena, please don't be so rude to the guests. And?, you?re almost sticking to the table."
The girl in the black dress sat up elegantly, smiled slightly, and then rolled her eyes.
The girl in the white dress skillfully ignored the other person's small movements, turned sideways, and looked deeply at Chu Xiuyan not far away. She slightly curved her eyebrows and said softly: "Good day, Yunyan, I am Elaine, finally... we can meet."
Under the giant parasol, there was another empty high chair.
Chu Xiuyan sat at the tea table, looking at Elaine on the left, then Elena on the right, and couldn't help asking, "Are you sisters?"
The one who answered him was Elena in the black dress. "No, oh, it's a dual personality - a former dual personality, now it's just two simple souls. Oh, by the way, this black tea is made from white star flowers that are only found in the dream world. It tastes a little bitter at first, but it's very sweet and has a strong aftertaste. It's perfect for a cup before bed."
Elaine in the white dress nodded slightly, "Just as Elaina said."
Chu Xiuyan stared at Elaine in the white dress for a long time. She quietly brewed tea and handed him the cup. Then she took her hand back and held the handle of the cup again, ready to drink tea. Her expression did not change at all.
It was not until she looked up and found Chu Xiuyan looking at her quietly that she slowly revealed a puzzled expression.
Elena in a black dress laughed strangely, her long curly hair swaying slightly in the air as she moved. She explained, "Elena is a fool. If you have any questions, just ask her directly. Of course, I suggest you come and ask me. After all, I am rational and logical. I know everything. I am a suitable person to answer your questions. Of course, you have to make me happy first before I can..."
"It's so strange, chirping? Why are the birds chirping so loud all of a sudden?" Chu Xiuyan completely ignored the sulking Elena in the black dress and asked the confused Elaine in the white dress: "I actually have? A lot of questions, but the most important? Still? Want to ask? Why did you? Let Fu En attack my friend?"
Click.
Elaine in the white dress put the teacup on the saucer and thought seriously for nearly half a minute. Then she looked up at the black-haired boy. A trace of confusion appeared in her light green eyes. She said hesitantly, "Von...Von is? Who?"
Opposite her, the black-dressed Elena raised her lips and chin, revealing a rather strange smile. Compared to her rather elegant posture when they first met at night, Elena was more open and free-spirited at this moment.
Elaine in the white dress clutched her sleeves nervously, but couldn't help but ask, "Elena, who is Fu En?"
Elena in the black dress arched her eyebrows and said to Chu Xiuyan, "I told you, didn't I? Elaine is a simple fool, literally? Elaine, Fuen, is the second survivor who walked out of the third fallen city [Kabab]. You? left him in the Aletta Palace as a guard."
Elaine in the white dress suddenly realized something, and then she said to Chu Xiuyan who was in a state of nagging, "I'm sorry, Yunyan, I didn't know Fu En would attack your friend. I will apologize to you on his behalf, and then I will ask him to formally apologize to your friend. If there is anything he needs, I will..."
"Wait!" Chu Xiuyan couldn't help but interrupt, "Since you don't remember Fu En, why did you save him?"
Elaine in the White Dress: "Because he was calling my name, I had to save him."
The smile on Elena's face deepened, "I told you, right? Elaine is a fool."
"If it wasn't Elaine's order, then why did Fuen attack the water monster?"
Chu Xiuyan vaguely guessed something and turned to look at Elena in a black dress, "Elena is? A fool, then? What about you? An instigator?"
"How rude!" Elena in the black dress stood up and slammed the table as if she had heard something unbelievable, and said angrily: "I am just an innocent little girl who likes to read stories. Compared with joining the story as a participant, I prefer to write and read. How could I instigate others! That guy Fu En acted on his own, including the group of Sky Church who acted recklessly in my name... Hehe, human behavior is always so unexpected - ah, speaking of it, [Blood Mist], are you really fulfilling your promise and watching carefully, without interfering with the important plot line."
Chu Xiuyan had a vague ominous feeling: "...what did I miss?"
Elaine in the white dress raised her head abruptly and looked at the girl in the black dress opposite her. Her expression gradually turned colder. "Elena, have you met Yunyan in real life?"
"Hmm." Elena in the black dress said proudly, "Sorry, Elaine, compared to cleaning up the mess you left behind, I would rather fly to the sky - I have already thought of the ending of the next book "Barbary's Resurrection". [When everything comes to an end, the ruins of the city that fell to the bottom of the sea are lifted out of the deep sea by a mysterious force and rise to the sky. They turn into a group of floating islands in the cloudless sky, becoming the last refuge for future humans]. Ah, this ending sounds really good!"
Chu Xiuyan couldn't help but raise his hand, "Excuse me, you said earlier that you just wanted to be a bystander who wrote the story, but since you want to raise the city ruins in the deep sea to the sky, then you who possess this mysterious power are not the big boss or plug-in who appears at the end? You have completely become a character in the story. It's completely inconsistent."
Elena in Black Dress: "...It seems so? Oh. Wait, I'll change my plan."
