Chapter 214: I'm Ready
"Yitong..."
Guan Yulan stood on the empty roof of the gray building, calling her sister's name softly. She closed her eyes and tried to imagine the scene before her sister disappeared fifteen years ago.
However, she never remembered.
The light of the flashlight could not dispel the darkness of the night, and she felt that countless pairs of eyes were hiding in the darkness, hiding in some corner and looking at her.
Guan Yulan stretched out her hand to cover her throat, cleared her throat, and then shouted loudly, "Yitong..."
The wind on the rooftop whistled past her ears, and the two words mixed with the wind were:
"Sister."
Guan Yulan's eyes immediately widened and looked around nervously. Her heart beat suddenly, and she kept asking herself if she had really heard that "sister" just now.
Yes, she did, it was a small voice, a girl's voice. This is not a dream.
However, there was no one around, and the entire rooftop was empty, and she was the only one standing there.
Guan Yulan walked to the staircase, took out a flashlight and shone it down the steps.
Two hours ago, she finally learned the exact news of Tang Zhengwen's death and his daughter's disappearance through some special means, so she appeared in the gray building.
However, as she approached the building, she had a strong feeling that her sister was here.
After passing through the dim corridor, Guan Yulan stood in front of the sealed door on the fifth floor, this is where Yitong has lived for more than ten years?
Suddenly, Guan Yulan caught a glimpse of a shadow appearing around the corner of the hallway.
Her heart tightened, and she tried to keep herself from making any sound. Her eyes widened in the shadows as the small shadow drew closer and closer to her.
She gradually saw that it was the shadow of a child, and slowly walked up the stairs in an eerie posture.
Finally, the figure walked up to her, and the dim light shone on the child's body, a girl in a white dress.
The girl approached her step by step, the feeling of fear and excitement in Guan Yulan's heart was intertwined, her pupils dilated in the darkness, and she could almost see the hidden toes under the white skirt.
The girl passed in front of her and walked silently downstairs.
"Yitong..." Guan Yulan called out her sister's name, and the girl's back froze, as if frozen by some mysterious external force, motionless.
Guan Yulan quickly ran behind the girl, cautiously stretched out her hand, and patted her on the shoulder. When her fingers touched the girl, a feeling of nausea suddenly swelled in her heart.
A gust of wind blew overhead, and the moon silently hid in the dark clouds.
It was dark in front of her, and the bright light from the flashlight became very faint, and Guan Yulan saw the girl slowly turn around......
A mournful whisper reached her ears.

In Star Swirl's dream, a strange girl appears with larger-than-average eyes and beautiful dark eyes that glow. The girl had long hair that hung down and covered the left half of her face.
"Who are you?" Star Swirl reaches out a hand and strokes her drooping hair, using two fingers to ruffle the strands of hair that cover her eyes. She saw that the girl had only the white of the left eye, and could not find the black eyeball.
Star Swirl snapped open her eyes and let out a sigh of relief at the warm yellow light on the bedside. She touched her forehead, and although she didn't sweat, she was a little fried, and the nightmare was very distressing to her.
Suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open, and the man standing in the doorway carried a small beast in his hand at random. The poor little beast squeaked, as if complaining about the injustice.
"When did you bring this little guy again?" Star Swirl asked, looking into the Dream Eater's rolling eyes.
Mr. X threw the beast to the ground disapprovingly, "Considering the events of recent contact, it may be impossible for you to sleep soundly." ”
Star Swirl smiled, indifferent to his occasional gentle and thoughtful appearance, and then she asked, "Guan Yulan, what are you going to do with it?" I don't think she's going to stop. ”
"Isn't that what we need right now?" A meaningful smile appeared in her blue eyes.
Star Swirl didn't understand what he meant, and tilted her head, "Didn't you also warn her not to investigate any further?" ”
"Some people will only get more and more frustrated, don't you know that curiosity will kill cats?"
"This sentence is really a cliché, I almost thought it was your family motto and family rules?" Star Swirl pursed her lips, feeling only that her ears could hear callouses.
Unexpectedly, a trace of anger clearly appeared on this man's usually calm face, could it be right? Star Swirl lowered her head and stuck out her tongue.
"But... If Guan Yulan investigates again, she will inevitably be targeted by CLOTHO, what benefit will this be for us? Star Swirl tries to get back on track.
"Don't you think there's some connection between Guan Yulan's sister and Hermes' secret experiments?" Mr. X didn't continue to annoy what she had just said, and went on with the main topic with a lot of face.
"No wonder Xiaohui is always attracted to Yitong, because... They are virions on their inside! Star Swirl realized.
In this way, the field of Hermes experiments involves not only the replication of living organisms, but also the experimental effect of Guan Yitong's appearance to remain in adolescence forever.
Star Swirl wondered to herself, and she couldn't help but become interested in this experiment of eternal youth. She couldn't help but look at the man across from her and asked, "Has time stopped for you?" ”
Looking at Star Swirl's envious look, Mr. X shook his head and said, "It's just skin, and having an endless life is a curse. ”
Star Swirl wanted to ask again, but Mr. ** brought back the topic: "Guan Yitong is most likely also Hermes's test subject, and we don't know if she is a success or a failure." ”
"Will Guan Yitong's appearance be a full set deliberately set by Hermes?" Star Swirl asks.
"Perhaps, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that there will always be someone who takes the bait, such as..."
“clotho?”
"That's right," there was a hint of vague approval in her eyes, "no matter which of them catches the other's tail, we just have to do what we have to do when they don't have time to doppelgänger." ”
"What should be done...", a heart suddenly became nervous, although it knew that sooner or later it would have to face such a day, but it still felt unprepared.
"Are you worried?" Qingbi's eyes became a little lighter, and they looked clear and soft.
"Early death, early superbirth." Star Swirl laughed helplessly, but there was no longer hesitation or doubt in her eyes, "I'm ready, what about you?" ”
