Chapter 195: Sea God's Death Line
A very strange scene appeared in Barbary Square.
Standing in front of the fountain, the magician in gorgeous costumes was performing various magical tricks, spewing out humorous words, which attracted the audience to laugh and applaud happily, and the whole square was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
However, in the dark, where no one noticed, the magician's back began to break out in cold sweat, which kept coming out more and more, almost sticking his clothes to his skin.
In his field of vision, at the back of the audience, a very conspicuous black-haired boy appeared out of nowhere.
The other party seemed particularly quiet in the busy square, but he had a kind of publicity that didn't care about the lives of others, which attracted passers-by to cast their eyes at him again and again.
The young man had nearly a hundred colorful air balloons tied tightly to his left wrist. The balloons swayed gently in the wind, attracting a lot of attention. In his other hand, he held a wooden sign high up, with a line of clear words written on it - "I want to buy a magician skin."
Seeing the magician in front of the fountain, he finally couldn't help but cast his eyes, and the boy quickly pulled out a new wooden sign from behind, which read "I have a lot of money! Buy skins!"
magician:"……"
Even if you have money, you can't just buy all the air around you? The queen came to him to buy a magician's costume? The reason!
The boy seemed to understand something, and solemnly took out the third wooden sign from behind his back, "I will trade with you for ten floating air balls."
Magician: "...Who wants to buy floating air? A ball!"
In the end, he sold the spare clothes.
"You have to be nice to this suit - I just had it custom made and I haven't even worn it yet!"
Chu Xiuyan happily left the fountain square and headed westwards towards the main road, muttering to himself, "Lord Poseidon, please give me more, more money!"
Three seconds later, something heavy seemed to fall into the pocket of the magician's special windbreaker.
Chu Xiuyan reached into his pocket and took out? A piece of white cloth, then took out a rose, then continued to dig and succeeded in taking out? A bulging? Money bag.
"Hey, little brother!" A voice came from the side. The shop owner on the roadside touched the girl's head happily and asked Chu Xiuyan, "How much are the balloons?"
Chu Xiuyan looked at the girl who was standing on tiptoe and leaning out from behind the table with a face full of nervousness and expectation, and then looked around the store's merchandise and said, "Exchange it for a glass of the wine you recommended, boss... You can pick three balloons."
The shop owner patted his daughter's head cheerfully and turned to fill the glass with wine - no, to be precise, it should be the sweet honey juice.
Chu Xiuyan sipped the juice given by the shop owner, turned around and walked away expressionlessly.
The girl, holding three balls of rope in her hand, shouted happily from behind: "Big brother, Dad said he will buy you a drink when you come of age!"
Chu Xiuyan: “…Damn it!”
His steps became heavier.
Perhaps it was because the balloon with a lot of air was too conspicuous, and many noisy children crowded towards Chu Xiuyan, scrambling to exchange for an air balloon.
Yes? , change.
After all, you only need to pretend to pray to Lord Poseidon, and the purse will automatically appear in your pocket.
How amazing.
So, Chu Xiuyan once again put on a new skin, with a wreath on his black hat, hairpins on his ears, a bunch of bracelets jingling on his wrists, and pockets filled with all kinds of candies or small toys, which were fancy and particularly eye-catching.
The number of balls floating in the air above my head has also been reduced by more than half, which is visible to the naked eye.
When you walk to the end of the road, it seems as if a gust of wind blows, and the air is filled with a strange flower fragrance, and large pieces of soft white petals flutter, as if bringing people into a mysterious dream.
Loud? Laughter came from far away.
"Elena, don't run too fast! Will your skirt get dirty?!"
"No, if you are tired, just stop and rest. Let's first - hey, bastard brother, why did you hit me?!"
"I want to go home for dinner... Elaine, is your mother at home?"
"Oh, yeah?! Mom told me to go back early..."
Chu Xiuyan stopped at a place not far away and saw three children playing and fighting on the lawn near the west gate.
One of them had dark green pigtails down to her waist, looked arrogant and confident, and was wearing a short skirt. She was jumping up and kicking the slightly older boy with a speechless look on his face.
Next to them, a blonde girl in a white dress was laughing happily. She had fair skin, delicate features, and a small white flower pinned to her ear. She looked particularly cute, but she often coughed, and her eyes turned red from coughing. She had to take out her water cup and drink a few sips from time to time.
As if noticing a strange gaze, she turned around and looked in Chu Xiuyan's direction with a surprised and curious expression.
"Elaine, Elaine! You seem to have a fever. Go home and have a good rest."
"good!"
Named "Elianen"? The blonde girl stopped observing Chu Xiuyan and waved goodbye to her friend.
Chu Xiuyan looked at the back of the girl who was jumping away and whispered, "...She looks exactly like you, Lord Poseidon."
'Yes, I look exactly like her.'
The sound from the ocean rings softly in my ears? .
"So, Yunyan, do you think Barbary fell to his death? Could it be because of this girl?"
Chu Xiuyan loosened the bracelet on his wrist, and it jingled. "Lord Poseidon, Barbary is the first city blessed by you to sink into the ocean, right?"
[Ocean] was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Yes?, the first thing I saw after I was born? was Barbary. That was a long, long time ago, so long ago that it was still an ordinary? island on the sea, so long ago that the blood mist had just appeared?, when countless disasters first descended on the earth. Even though they were far away from the mainland, the? humans in Barbary were also polluted by a large amount of blood crystals and suffered terribly. So? I, who was summoned by? their? prayers, sank this island into the ocean, isolating it from? the? pollution of blood crystals and the? disasters from the outside world - this is the original? story, everything is normal, very ordinary.'
The system said quietly: [I found Xuan Wu and Chu Li. I'll lead the way for you. Don't talk to me. Let's go quietly.]
Chu Xiuyan walked in the direction given by the system and continued to talk to Ocean, "So how did Barbary fall to his death?"
[Ocean] said: 'You should see it for yourself.'
"I'm here? Watching."
'This is not enough. Yunyan, go back and see Elaine, and then go see her again.'
Chu Xiuyan hesitated for a while, and the system said: [Chu Li is still there? Not moving in one place, but Xuan Wu moves quickly from time to time, as if he is? Chasing someone... I will help you keep an eye on them? Situation. ]
【Thanks, Tong Dad. 】
The system shouted in a very low voice: [I told you not to talk to me?! Am I afraid of being discovered by the Ocean God? ——]
Chu Xiuyan smiled slightly, then turned and walked in the direction of the blonde girl.
Soon, he saw an exquisite and warm house.
He turned into mist and landed lightly on the windowsill. He saw the blonde girl Elaine sitting quietly at the table, sipping tea. It had a distinct bitter taste and was more like some kind of medicine than tea.
As if she discovered something, the blonde girl's eyes lit up, and she happily opened the window and whispered to the gray fog outside: "Lord Poseidon, did you come to chat with me today? I also took my medicine well today... Let's go to my dream, I want to fly to the sky today! Now is the lunch break!"
She shouted "Lord Poseidon" to a cloud of gray mist.
[Ocean] has appeared outside the girl's window many times, chatting with her, playing with her, and promising her that she can go to the dreamland.
Chu Xiuyan seemed to realize something, his heart skipped a beat, and he took off his bracelet and the ropes of a few floating air balls and handed them to the other party. After the other party accepted them curiously, he quickly left the house.
I don't know if it's an illusion, I've flown away for a long time, but I can still hear the blonde girl's whispered prayer.
"Mr. Poseidon, will we have toast or rice tomorrow?"
"Mr. Poseidon, what color are you wearing today? What about your clothes?"
'Lord Poseidon, my mother took me to see the doctor again. After I die, can my soul live in dreams?'
'Lord Poseidon...'
'Lord Poseidon...'
Chu Xiuyan had returned to human form when he landed, and there was no expression on his face. "[Ocean], shut up!"
The soft prayers that lingered in my ears disappeared.
[Poseidon] still said gently: "I'm sorry."
He said: 'The first city I saw was Barbary, and the first human I saw was Elaine. Yunyan, I'm sorry, but I love them, I love humans, I love Elaine, but my love... destroyed them.'
Chu Xiuyan stopped.
He saw Xuan Wu.
The red coat on the other person was gone, his eyes were red and bloodshot, as if he was crying or angry.
Xuan Wu's hand was tightly grasping the collar of a gray-haired old man. He cursed and threw a heavy punch at him, ignoring his struggle. However, he was injured in the arm by the attack from nowhere, and blood was dripping.
Chu Xiuyan walked over, pulled the old man by the back of his collar and dragged him aside. An inexplicable attack came towards his hand that was touching the old man, but was then blocked by the gray fog.
He heard Ocean sighing softly, and that sound seemed to merge with the panicked sound the old man made when he looked up and saw him.
'Yunyan, you and I are so alike.'
"Why are you? Here? Why are you? Here?!"
Xuan Wu wiped his eyes heavily with his sleeves, and said in an angry voice, but his voice was obviously very hoarse, "Yun Yan, this matter has nothing to do with you, give me this old man."
Chu Xiuyan glanced at his right hand that was bleeding and said coldly, "Xuan Wu, I'm very annoyed right now, don't talk to me."
Xuan Wu was stunned: "...Ah?"
But soon he glared anxiously at the old man who was staring at Chu Xiuyan in a daze for some reason.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear something, frowned slightly, took out a thumb-sized snail from the back of his neck, and handed it to the boy opposite him.
"Brother Zhang, do you have something to say? I'm telling you."
Chu Xiuyan was still holding the old man, and was slightly startled when he heard the words. He took the small snail hesitantly and heard a familiar and steady voice.
"Yunyan, are you planning to leave the ocean now?"
Chu Xiuyan was silent for a while, his complicated and chaotic emotions gradually calmed down, and he heard himself answer: "Not for now, uncle, I have to see with my own eyes what the ocean wants to do, and his final ending."
"Well then," the voice from the snail, whether it was black technology or a mysterious force, was still calm, "Wu Gaoyuan, you are here? Listen, activate the substitution, and swap my position with that useless guy Jing Heng."
Another voice sounded inside the snail, "Got it~"
Then a panicked and shocked voice rang out again, "Wait, why is it me?! Zhang Chun, wait! Wait, I'm here? Seriously lurking?! I'm going to lead the team to attack the Aletta Palace at night soon. This is Yun Yan's wish——"
Chu Xiuyan said decisively: "Impossible, I didn't say such a thing? Boss Lion, don't slander me with empty words. Words? Why am I the only one who doesn't have a voice transmission snail?"
