Chapter 240: Strange Ashes
Bai Xiaohan looked at the ashes in the jar and nodded slightly, his gaze became a little complicated. She reached out and wiped the dirt from the surface of the jar a little, hugged it to her chest like a baby, and turned around and ran out of the abandoned bus stop.
"Teacher Bai! Wait for me! Star Swirl's call came from behind her, but she turned a deaf ear.
Bai Xiaohan ran faster and faster, and her white clothes gradually blurred under the dark sky, and finally disappeared from Star Swirl's vision.
"Likeβ" Star Swirl suddenly felt that the back image was very similar to the woman in white in the game.
The jar dug out from under Platform 19 was missed, and White Xiaohan didn't leave any explanation, and Star Swirl shook her head in disappointment and sighed.
If you don't understand, let's go back and ask Mr. X.
In the distance, there was a white mist floating in the flower field on the other side, and in the haze, she seemed to see the woman in white again. It wasn't Bai Xiaohan, but the woman I saw when I touched the altar just now.
Back at the apartment, Mr. X was waiting for her.
"You're so idle, is the psychiatric clinic closed?" Star Swirl asked, smiling.
"What, do you really want to get started?" Mr. X puts a cup of hot coffee on the table in front of Star Swirl.
Star Swirl winked mischievously, "I'm doing things seriously every day, pointing wherever I want." β
Mr. X chuckled and asked, "How about going to investigate, why did you come back alone?" β
"Teacher Bai, she... What's going on? Star Swirl was incredulous, "We just found the scene in the dream, which is the abandoned 19 bus stop near D-University. In the grass there, Mr. Bai dug out a jar. β
"Jar?" Blue eyes froze.
"yes, it's about that size," Star Swirl gestured with her hand, "and as soon as Mr. White saw the contents and ran away with the jar on his own. β
"How many years have passed, and she still can't let go after all." A look of surprise appeared in her blue eyes.
"So, do you know what's in the jar?" Star Swirl asks curiously.
"Ashes."
There was a sudden dead silence in the room, like a violent cold snap passing by, and Star Swirl whispered for a while:
"Whose ashes?"
"Fairy ashes."
This answer is obviously confusing to Star Swirl, elf? Is it the little fairy with wings in fairy tales? The image in my mind suddenly became dreamy.
"I'll show you a picture and you'll understand." Mr. X opens his laptop and pulls up a photo from a long time ago from the folder.
The photo is a remake, so it's not very clear. Star Swirl leans in to take a look, and her scalp tingles.
In the photo, there is a group of people standing side by side, dressed with a sense of age, all facing the camera expressionlessly. And the most bizarre thing is that they all look the same, as if they were carved out of a millstone.
"Duplicants?" Star Swirl guessed.
Mr. X shook his head slightly: "None of them are humans, but goblins. β
"Leprechauns? What is that? Star Swirl looked closely at the faces of everyone in the photograph and noticed that the moles on the corners of their mouths were identical.
"Hundreds of years ago, elves were a rare species. Their real appearance is very strange, so they usually disguise themselves as human beings and mingle among us. β
"But why do these goblins all look exactly the same?"
"That's because they all ate the same person."
Star Swirl snapped her eyes shut, but the face was etched into her mind. When I opened my eyes again, the picture on the computer screen was gone.
"You mean... They eat people just to become human, so that they can hide among us? β
Mr. X nodded silently.
"That's a murderous race." Star Swirl sighed.
"No, they're all here to survive," Mr. X dismisses Star Swirl's reasoning, "The elves are on the verge of extinction because of the endless killing of them by humans." β
"Just because it's an alien, do you want to kill them all?"
Mr. X shook his head again: "It's a long story, but in the final analysis, it's all sins planted by humans. β
Star Swirl looked at the bottomless blue eyes, anticipating what he was going to say next, but Mr. X quickly changed the subject:
"Just now you said that when you came into contact with the altar, you saw a clotho in the picture?"
Star Swirl shuddered, "I saw him... is killing people, strangling a very beautiful woman to death. β
Mr. X suddenly looked at her with a strange look in his eyes, and Star Swirl felt uncomfortable for that moment.
After a few seconds, Mr. X regained his usual somewhat cold eyes and asked, "Do you think that the person he strangled to death is familiar?" β
As soon as he said this, the fragments of memory gathered together in an instant, becoming a complete face. The woman in white in the game and the woman who died at the hands of Clotho coincide perfectly.
"Bai Yelin?" Star Swirl finally remembers.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the apartment. Mr. X said lightly: "The person who answered your question is here." β
Bai Xiaohan was still holding the jar, looking at it like a treasure. By this time, night had fallen, and outside the window, I don't know what leaves were shaking, and a black shadow hit her face.
"The person you see is my sister Bai Yilin." She approached Star Swirl, looking down into her curious eyes.
"She was killed by Clotho? How long ago was that? Star Swirl was surprised, for by the time she met Bai Yelin, she was already a wisp of grievance.
"What you see... It's her past life. Bai Xiaohan set his eyes on Mr. X and looked at him calmly for a moment.
"If I give this to Star Swirl, will she see more of the past?" Bai Xiaohan's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't smile.
"You're not going to do that." A hand was placed on her shoulder, and suddenly a cold aura invaded, penetrating the blood, and the flesh and blood of the joints immediately slowed down.
Bai Xiaohan froze, she gritted her teeth and slowly raised her head: "How do you know that I won't?" β
Star Swirl watched the two of them strangely, surprised that Bai Xiaohan would be so-for-tat with Mr. X, but she had always defended him.
At this time, another person suddenly squeezed in the crack of the door that was not tightly closed, and the bright yellow hair jumped into the sight of the three people.
"I want to see who is bullying my little Hanhan." Lu Jingfan narrowed his eyes and stood in front of Bai Xiaohan, blocking the eyes of the two of them.
Mr. X's face was darkened again, and there was obvious anger on his cold face.
Lu Jingfan immediately put on a hippie smile, and quietly removed Mr. X's hand on Bai Xiaohan's shoulder, "Hey, don't take advantage of others." β
Bai Xiaohan, who had been stiff for a long time, came back to his senses, cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead, and he hugged the jar in his arms tighter.
When Lu Jingfan's gaze fell on the altar, he raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "Xiao Hanhan, this is your mistake." β
