Daughter of the Sea Chapter 174 Siren
"I can't believe it, you just let her go like this?!" Mu Yi walked back and forth anxiously, angrily accusing Bai Gu.
"Then what can I do?" Bai Gu sat against the wall with the knife on his face, with an aggrieved expression, "If he doesn't let me cut it, I can only collect the knife." And you didn't see that look in his back behind his back, if I really cut off the woman's hand, I guess he could just cremate me. β
"Aren't you the most thoughtful person on weekdays, why do you listen to Xingchen so much this time?" As he spoke, Mu Yi pointed to the place where the two disappeared, where there were still blue spots of light left by the disappearance of Xingchen and the girl, "Okay now, there are only so many spots of light left, and I don't know if it's Xingchen's ashes." β
"Less fucking fart. β
Before Bai Gu finished speaking, Ying Lan, Bai Brandy, and Gu Lichuan, who was holding a pile of goods, walked over from around the corner and interrupted his train of thought.
"Huh, you're back?" Seeing the two of them squatting and standing here like two begging for food, Ying Lan asked with a smile, "What are you two doing here?"
Looking at Ying Lan, Bai Gu and Mu Yi glanced at each other and replied in unison.
"Xingchen has been tricked away by a bad woman!"
"Huh?"
......
A dazzling flash of light flashed, and the stars fell to the ground, and the girl still clung to his arm and refused to let go.
It is a device similar to space teleportation. Xingchen watched his feet, different from the teleportation device of the Science and Technology Development Bureau, which he had never seen before.
So he looked around.
It seems that he has been transported to a very old house. The house resembles the architecture of a church, but due to the teleportation, a strong gust of air blows dust into the room, making the already dark room a little less visible.
"Hey," Xingchen patted the girl on the shoulder, "it's all right." β
"Ah," the girl looked up at the stars, and then at the surroundings, "have you been teleported too?"
"It's because you've been dragging me that I've been teleported. Xingchen looked at the girl and said without hesitation.
"Yes, is that so!" Hearing Xingchen's complaint, the girl let go of her hand in shame, "I'm sorry, IβI didn't know I would teleport you too!"
"It's fine. Xingchen looked at the gloomy room, and his eyes turned on the heat sense, "Just send me back later." β
There were no signs of life in the room except for the girl and herself.
"But," the girl bowed her head in embarrassment at the words of the stars, "I don't know how to send you back." β
"What did you say?"
"This device...... I also got it through by mistake," the girl pointed to the device at her feet, "I don't know how to use it." β
Xingchen sighed softly and stepped off the device.
"Where are you going?" the girl followed the star, afraid that the star would disappear in a blink of an eye.
"Let's take a look around first," he said, as Xingchen walked towards the door of the room, "You can get out of here if you have the right position." β
"Wait," the girl chased after the stars, "I'm familiar with this place. β
"If you were really familiar, you wouldn't even know how to send me back. Xingchen looked at the girl and opened the door to the room. A burst of intense white light shone in, and the stars closed their eyes slightly, surveying the world outside the door.
When he got a glimpse of it, he couldn't hide his amazement.
At this time, Xingchen was standing in front of the observation deck of a very tall building, and he could stand up with a slight step forward. And what unfolds in front of the stars is a complete city. Houses, streets, buildings, and the sun that glows brightly over the city.
"This is ......"
Xingchen looked at the city in front of him and slowly walked up to the observation deck. The first thing that caught his eye was the architecture, a style he had never seen before in a human city: a very square rectangular structure, shaped by countless columns, and a ring-column structure in the style of an ancient Greek temple. If you look closely, you can see that all the buildings have been meticulously carved, and every wall is a masterpiece of art.
"This is my home. The girl grinned as she stood beside the star, and their hair glowed a dazzling golden color in the white light.
Xingchen looked up at the sunβalthough it was bright enough to illuminate the city, it was limited to the city, and the temperature was completely unattainable.
False sun.
"What is this city called?"
"I don't know. β
Xingchen turned his head to look at the somewhat natural girl: "You don't even know what your home is called?"
"Nobody has given it a name. β
"What about your parents?"
"I don't have parents. β
Xingchen nodded, looking farther away, "I don't have parents either. β
Suddenly, the stars sensed. The edge of the city is supposed to be artificially split by a circular arc and blocked by a transparent barrier. Outside, there was a desert, dotted with unintelligible wreckage, and unnamed grass swaying softly.
Just as Xingchen suspects that this is a city trapped in the desert, a giant whale slowly swims over the city.
"Is this underwater?" asked the girl, "Your family lives underwater?"
The girl shrugged: "I was already here when I woke up, and I don't remember anything about the previous events." β
Xingchen closed his eyes and slowly accepted this reality.
I am now in an undersea city. The city is shrouded in a massive hemispherical barrier, cut off from the outside sea. In addition, the city has a fairly independent resource supply system that provides plenty of light and the right temperature to prevent people from getting sick from being exposed to the dark, cold environment of the ocean floor for a long time. In addition, the city seems to be a deserted city, and there is no one on the streets as far as the eye can see.
"What's your name?" asked the star, telling the girl.
From the first time the girl appeared in front of the stars, he already wanted to ask.
"Siren," said the girl to the stars, "my name is Siren." β
"Nickname?"
"A siren is a siren," the girl pouted a little angrily, "and my brother gave me a name, saying that my voice was good." β
Xingchen turned and walked back into the house. With the light, Xingchen easily found the staircase that led to the ground: "What about your brother?"
"My brother is busy," explained the girl, following the stars, "and sometimes he visits me once a week, and sometimes he doesn't come for a month. β
"Do you have any other relatives - I mean living in this city. β
"My sister is still in this city, but unfortunately you can't see her either. β
The stairs were steep, and the stars had to hold on to the sirens as they walked down.
"Why?"
"She's dead," the siren looked at Xingchen's hair and then at his own, "and my brother said she had made a mistake, so she died." I don't know why, he hates his sister very much. β
Xingchen didn't speak again, feeling that this was not a reason.
Seeing that Xingchen was speechless, the girl asked again, "Uncle, what is your name?"
"My name is Xingchen...... Xingchen replied, and turned his head to look at her again, "Am I very old?"
"It's not old. The siren looked at him with a grin.
"Then you call me uncle?"
"Because you don't smile, like a depressed middle-aged man," said the siren, holding out the index fingers of both hands against the corners of Xingchen's mouth, "people have to smile often to forget their troubles!"
Xingchen didn't refute either, letting her gesture to her face: "Then I can also wait for your brother to come back and send me back." β
Hearing this, the siren suddenly panicked, as if Xingchen had said something that should not be said: "No, no, if my brother sees you, he will definitely kill you!"
As she spoke, she urged Xingchen: "Let's go, let's go down quickly, I'll go with you to find other ways to leave." If my brother finds out......"
"Is your brother so vicious?" Xingchen asked directly, as an elder brother, he could make his sister say something like "will kill others", which shows the degree of his violence.
"Brother, he...... He just had a grumpy temper and then ...... ...... to me" Speaking of his brother, the sirens seemed to have suddenly lost their right to speak, and became distracted.
At this point, the siren's feet were unsteady and he fell on the back of the stars.
"Yikes!"
With such a steep staircase, if it were someone else, maybe the two of them would have rolled all the way down. Fortunately, the center of gravity of the stars shifted backwards, and he only slid down two or three steps before stopping.
"Are you alright?" asked Xingchen looking back.
"It's okay," the siren looked pitifully at Xingchen, "Xingchen, you're amazing." β
"It's okay," said Xingchen, hunching his back, "I'll carry you." In such a steep place, I can't save myself from falling to my death if I come again. β
Walking in the dark corridor, Xingchen was silent, and the siren lay on his back without saying a word, only feeling that Xingchen's body was as warm as a furnace.
"I used to have a sister too. Xingchen looked at the stairs under his feet through the heat sense, and spoke.
"You must be happy to die as your sister. The siren said, turning his face to the star's back.
Xingchen shook his head: "They always say that the two of us are monsters and bully us. So it's not good to be my sister at all. β
"And how is your sister doing now?"
"Dead. β
β...... I'm sorry. β
"It's fine. People always have to die, and she just got rid of it earlier. β
The two chatted, and it didn't take long for them to reach the bottom.
The siren stepped down from Xingchen's back, looked at Xingchen's expressionless face, and suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?" Xingchen looked at her, and suddenly noticed that not only did the siren have the same blond hair as herself, but even those eyes were as golden as herself, what a coincidence.
"I think you're so nice," said the siren, running to the front of the stars to open the door, "thoughtful, gentle, but too little." β
Xingchen raised an eyebrow and didn't answer.
