Chapter 90 Chapter 87 The Heart of Siper Devouring Wishes
The artificial sun is about to set. If no one tells them the truth, who can tell whether it is real or fake?
The children born in the Hanging Castle have never seen the real sun, nor have they ever bathed in real sunshine.
"It's quite beautiful to sit here and watch, but I feel sick as long as I know that it's fake."
Pomo thought it might be his own prejudice, so he only dared to talk to Puisi.
"The real sun at this altitude would be very hot, and ordinary people might not be able to stand it."
Puys stated this "cruel" fact very calmly.
It's more than unbearable, it's possible to die from the heat.
There is no doubt that the resources consumed in order for the artificial sun and moon to function normally, and the Siper people are not stupid. If the environment was not too harsh, they would not do such a thing as "covering the sky and the sun".
Pomo sighed and laid on the table, "Okay..."
I was very much looking forward to it before coming, but after coming here I no longer have any longing at all.
This place is so perfect, so perfect that it makes Pomo rebellious bones grow.
"It's a good idea here, Pomo, you have to be ready."
Puis knew very well that compared to the underground city, this place must be a paradise, and the environment there and the reality suffered by the people there must be even worse.
Bo Mo nodded and lay on the table, looking like a balloon wilted by the setting sun. The rice in the bowl no longer smelled good.
"How long will it take us to set off..."
"After 10 pm, you should eat more and then go buy some dry food to take with you."
Puies planned, wanting to make sure everything went smoothly.
Pomo ate his food obediently, knowing that he would not be able to eat such delicious food after going down to the underground city.
Soon, artificial sunlight was completely replaced by moon and starlight.
It was really beautiful, the most perfect starry sky that Bomo had ever seen in his life.
However, immediately after the sunset, these stars appear, and the sense of separation is really strong.
"I heard that you can spend money to buy a 'shooting star' and make a unique wish."
Puis mentioned suddenly.
Pomo was not interested at all and continued to be depressed, "Forget it, even making a wish requires payment, what's the point?"
The white-haired boy took the last sip of coffee and was stunned for a moment when he heard his friend's answer. However, he felt better.
"Yeah, even the right to make a wish has been taken away..." The delicate ceramic cup bottom collided with the tray, making a crisp sound, "That's too bad."
——
The shadows that the sun cannot reach cannot be reached by artificial sun either.
When the light of humanity finally falls, there is nothing left to stop the creeping of darkness.
Something was rubbing against the ground in the dark corner, making a rustling sound. If you listened carefully, you could even hear the hissing sound of a reptile sticking out its tongue.
These sounds were too obvious to the psychics' senses, and both Puis and Pomo became alert.
"Snakes? Are there snakes in the Hanging Castle?"
Puis frowned, and the moment he looked into the eyes of the scarlet-glowing snake hiding in the corner, he sensed the fluctuation of supernatural power.
"careful."
A terrifying scene appeared: a blood-red venomous snake with a cold jade texture crawled out, and its two fangs flashed a cold light.
But there was not just one, as the line of sight extended, countless red snakes also crawled out.
They were crawling in all directions, and several of them were heading towards the two of them.
Puis took the initiative and cut several snakes into two pieces with ease, but the snakes immediately split into two halves and turned into new red snakes and began to crawl.
Pomer didn't move, he blinked.
“They are running away.”
Yes, Puis also noticed that the snakes suddenly began to run around, not trying to attack them, but to escape.
"Why..."
The night was broken by a cold light, and the flash of silver accurately avoided all the phantoms and nailed the most inconspicuous snake body to the ground.
Unexpectedly, all the snakes screamed at the same time, and there seemed to be a sharp female voice. Then, in the painful struggle, they turned into black ash and were completely annihilated.
At this time, the two of them could see clearly that the silver light was a dagger.
[The Sign of Blessing] brings not only a foreshadowing of disaster, but also good news that inspires people.
The cute golden retriever's tail began to swing from side to side, and he excitedly took several steps forward towards the person who walked out of the shadows.
"Alan!!!"
The man was wearing a black cloak that covered his face, with only a strip of blue hanging on his chest, which became his only color.
Neither of them expected to meet Ni Lan at this time.
After not seeing each other for a year, Puis was relieved to see that the other party was safe and sound.
"Ni Lan, I'm glad you're okay."
Ni Lan looked up in shock, and the two of them finally saw the face they hadn't seen for a long time.
Different from them who were growing up healthily, Ni Lan did not change at all except for growing a little taller - instead, she looked thinner.
"Why don't you...? It's not the right time yet..."
His words were inconsistent, but he couldn't hide his shock at their presence.
Puis frowned slightly. Wasn't it Ni Lan who asked them to come to the Hanging City of Xipo?
"It's not the time yet, Amo, Ez." Ni Lan was not at all happy to see the two of them. The disruption of his plan made him more anxious than ever.
They shouldn't meet until they find Hihiru.
So Pomeranian saw it, saw the erased past.
"Alan! Wait a minute!!!"
But it was too late. Puis, the only one who could stop Ni Lan, failed to react in time.
The clock is ticking, and everything in the world follows the laws of time.
Pomo suddenly realized that this was not the first time Ni Lan had used this method to change reality.
Whether they realize it or not, they cannot change Ni Lan's mind. In order to achieve "that" goal, she can abandon everything.
No, Pomeranian was not blaming him.
They had clearly agreed that friends should help each other and share the burden, but Ni Lan wanted to abandon them.
"Aren't we friends? Ah Lan! Let us help you!"
At the moment when the pointer was about to reverse, Bomo's voice broke through all obstacles and penetrated into Ni Lan's ears.
Ni Lan was stunned for a moment, and her ability to reverse time hesitated for a moment.
Now, what is the relationship between them?
Even though she knew what would happen, Ni Lan was still terrified.
Because the impending past is more terrifying than the lost future.
The same is true for meeting after a confirmed separation.
Their relationship at the moment should not be... so bad.
But Ni Lan did not stop after all. Now he could not reveal his identity no matter what.
The boy's eyes were filled with confusion. Bomo didn't quite understand the complexity of it, but he was keenly aware of one fact.
Ni Lan is confirming their 'relationship'.
The word "friend" was 'natural' to Pomo, but Ni Lan subconsciously denied it.
How could this happen? Not to mention that the letter was written by Ni Lan, why did she need to "confirm" even such a thing?
What on earth had happened? Why was the emotion in A-lan's eyes so... strange?
The bad premonition he had when he said goodbye to Ni Lan a year ago came true, and Bo Mo only regretted that he did not leave with Ni Lan at that time.
His intuition had clearly told him!
No matter what Pomeranian was thinking, Puis seized the opportunity and tried to repeat his old trick.
But Ni Lan was no longer the same person he was 'a year ago'. He sensed Puys's intention, gave up the watch without hesitation, and promptly got out of Puys's control.
Finally, Ni Lan jumped onto the eaves of a house on the street and half-crouched on it.
Every minute and every second of his supernatural powers are invaluable in this critical moment. As time goes by, Ni Lan has lost the opportunity to change.
Friends...yes, he could trust them at any time.
"Amo, Es, go do what you have to do. It's not time for us to meet yet."
Seeing that his friend was about to disappear again, Bo Mo yelled anxiously.
"What should we do? What is it that we should do?"
But Ni Lan had completely disappeared, without a trace in just a moment.
Pomo clenched his fists, realizing that they had been 'abandoned' by Ni Lan once again.
It's not because of distrust, this is what is most difficult for him to accept.
"Is..."
"Let's go, it's time for us to set off."
The more unwilling Puis was, the calmer he became.
As he also realized this, how could the resentment mixed with anger be less than that of Pomo?
"Huh?"
Pomer looked back at him.
"To do what we have to do, just like he said."
It was Ni Lan who brought them to the Hanging City of Xipo, and it was also he who did things here that were unknown to others.
So just keep going, just keep going!
He will definitely be at the end of this road!
“Damn it!!!”
Bo Mo stomped his feet in anger, feeling sorry for Ni Lan's silence and for himself for not seizing the opportunity.
When I find Ni Lan, I will never forgive him easily if he doesn't explain it well!
"Go to the dungeon! Find Rixun!"
The two of them still don't know what the connection is between the woman who has the exact same face as General Yun Shi and the disaster that is about to happen in the Hanging City, but this is the only thing they can do now.
——
Can the black hidden in the black still be considered a kind of existence?
The ghost that had been wandering in the suspended city for who knows how long, unnoticed by anyone, finally showed a trace of flaws today.
Fortunately, those who witnessed it and preserved their memories will not be affected by it.
Soon, the artificial sun and moon rotated, and as the light filled the world, the dark shadows could safely disappear.
The area is heavily guarded, but Ni Lan is not bothered by it.
He was skilled in bypassing group after group of Dome Troopers, and even if he was discovered, he could hide behind his powerful supernatural powers.
Finally, Ni Lan walked into the central area of the building. A huge ball of light with a diameter of at least two meters was flashing regular and soft light, like a huge heart.
This is the miracle that supports the entire Hanging City - the Heart of Siper.
"Two minutes late, and they found us?"
"no."
"Hard-mouthed."
Only then did they discover that there was something curled up under Siper's Heart, and something was wriggling strangely under the covering cloth.
"What date is today?"
"...almost."
"Oh."
The restless existence finally broke through the boundaries of the cloth and turned out to be a huge snake tail - with exactly the same pattern as the snakes Ni Lan had killed.
