Chapter 239: The Second Clue
"Transparent wings..."Mr. X put one hand on his cheek, as if he remembered something, and his expression became a little solemn.
"Do you know something?" Star Swirl speculated from their respective expressions.
"Take me!" Bai Xiaohan's face was full of urgency at this time, he lost his usual calmness and wisdom, and he looked very abnormal.
"Where to go? The Rest Road? Star Swirl looked at Bai Xiaohan suspiciously, and nodded slightly at her.
"relive" Star Swirl enters the password into the energy lock, and the AI Lotchi's smile appears on the transparent screen.
"Good afternoon, long time no see." AI Lucky greets the trio.
"Could you please help me find out exactly where the 'Rest Road' is?" Star Swirl said.
"Wait a minute, I'm checking for you," AI Lucky replied regretfully after a few seconds, "I'm sorry, but I didn't find a section of the road called 'Rest Road' in all the roads in K. β
Star Swirl looked at Bai Xiaohan's eyes that darkened for a moment and said, "Maybe it was once called 'Rest Road', and then it was renamed again?" β
Mr. X shook his head: "I've been in K City for a long time, and I don't remember this weird road name at all. β
Yes, the "road of rest" sounds very unlucky, like a path to "another world".
"Still, I remember where the wings in my dream led me to." As soon as Star Swirl said this, Bai Xiaohan's eyes lit up again.
"Where is it?" She asked, grabbing Star Swirl's hand.
Star Swirl felt the coldness coming from her fingertips, and suddenly felt a little stranger to the person in front of her. Perhaps, she never really understood Bai Xiaohan.
"It's near the station where I met the woman in white in this game." Star Swirl replied.
"But... No. 19 is a short-distance bus, how can it go to such a remote place? Bai Xiaohan was puzzled.
"Follow the instructions of the dream, go and see." Star Swirl said, looking at the time, "It's still early, let's go back after lunch." β
The three of them sat around the table, and Star Swirl took a big bite of the meat, egg and sandwich and smiled contentedly, "I didn't have time to eat breakfast, I'm really hungry now." β
"If you don't rest at night, you won't be able to get up in the morning." Mr. X apparently knew about her all-night gaming.
Star Swirl opened her mouth to tell the difference, but saw Bai Xiaohan absentmindedly holding the chopsticks, and the food on the plate did not move a bite, so she sped up her meal.
---
Walking through the purple and red garden, Star Swirl leads Bai Xiaohan into the quietest corner of D University, carefully looking at it all the way, lest she miss any details.
"Why are there other flowers in the garden of D University?" Star Swirl asked, looking at the extremely bewitching flower in the corner.
Bai Xiaohan looked at this flower on the other side and sighed: "Do you know, this flower has always bloomed on the road to hell. β
"The road to hell, the road to rest?" Star Swirl suddenly connects the two.
D University is surrounded by no walls and is located in a university town on the outskirts of K City. The two walked along the only path in the garden for a long time, knowing that they vaguely saw the deserted bus stop across the road.
"It's a 19th road license plate." Star Swirl could see the numbers marked on it, and the scene in front of her was exactly what she had seen in her dream.
The discarded license plate stood alone in a patch of weeds, and Bai Xiaohan soon noticed something unusual about the piece of grass under the license plate.
"It's flattened, and it's noticeably different from the grass around it." Bai Xiaohan half-knelt in the grass, touched the grass with his hand and said.
"There's something on top of this, so the grass doesn't grow tall?" Star Swirl speculated.
"No, the dirt under here is not the same as the surroundings, and the grass must have grown in the last six months."
Star Swirl seemed to think of something, "You mean the dirt has been moved?" β
"yes, I guess there's something buried underneath this."
"It won't be "5 years of college entrance examination and 3 years of simulation" again, right?" As she said this, Star Swirl instantly conjured up the image of a skeleton as she took two steps back from her shoulders.
Bai Xiaohan took out a small shovel from his backpack and dug deep into the dirt without hesitation.
"Teacher Whiteβ" Star Swirl tried to stop, but when she saw her determined eyes, she swallowed the words back into her stomach.
The sky was getting darker, and a dark cloud floating from the sky hung over them, and Bai Xiaohan was still digging hard into the soil, and the shovel ruthlessly cut the earth inch by inch.
The soil underneath was very loose, and as soon as I dug up a few clumps of grass roots, something came out from underneath.
It's not a corpse.
What Bai Xiaohan dug out was a jar, lying quietly in the dirt, and the patterns on it were a little mottled.
What's inside? Antiques?
Bai Xiaohan cautiously opened the jar, and as a smell of earth wafted out, some white powder was revealed in the jar. Like ashes?!
"What is this?" The moment Star Swirl's fingers touched the paper, a picture unfolded in front of her eyes.
A woman stood on her back, her long black hair pouring down. The sky will be dark, the moonlight will gradually rise, and the person who is quieter and clearer than the moonlight in the moonlight will stand in front of him.
Looking back suddenly, the haze behind the veil looks really beautiful. The woman stood still, never moving, and the wind blew her clothes.
At this moment, a low chuckle came from behind.
The laughter was cold, not the bone-chilling cold. It's cool, like a thin layer of snow just falling on the delicate flowers and leaves, looking at the fresh and warm flowers and leaves, touching it, but it is refreshing and stinging.
Star Swirl immediately knew who was behind it.
"You're really here... That's great. Behind the veil, the eyes were full of moisture, and it seemed that a string of crystal tears would fall in the blink of an eye.
The man slowly stepped forward and took the woman into his arms, his whole face smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.
The woman looked at the man's eyes stupidly, and her face changed in an instant, her throat rolled, and her pupils suddenly dilated, as if she was terrified to the extreme.
"Youβ" Her throat had been firmly choked by the man, and she struggled hard, but she could no longer make any sound, and her breathing became softer and softer, until she was completely silent.
The moonlight had already broken through the window lattice, and only a silent darkness remained on all sides. And the woman who fell to the ground closed her eyes, as if she were asleep, and still looked beautiful.
The man stroked his sleeve and fluttered past Star Swirl, his dark black cloak swept up by the night wind.
βclothoοΌβ As the image faded away, Star Swirl confused as she pronounced the man's name.
Bai Xiaohan was looking at Star Swirl in a daze, and asked in disbelief, "Did you see Clotho?" β
Star Swirl let out a soft "um" and frowned, "This situation is similar to when I came into contact with Gu Yi before, maybe it has something to do with the clues I was looking for." β
