Chapter 25: Outliers

In front of the Lord and the Lady, I was dragged by my brother and followed the crowd through the huge dark square, hurried towards the transparent train that had arrived. A few people only walked, and no one spoke. Like a shadow on dark waters, quiet, panicked, directionless.

I stumbled and couldn't move forward, but I was too scared to let go, and I didn't even have the courage to look back at what the Holy Star Castle looked like behind the veil. I hadn't recovered from the shock of the horror I had just had, and I was almost hanging on my brother's arm.

The black-robed man, that is, the "Holy King" they respectfully called, except for the black-robe, is not a human at all.

He's a glass man. Except for the pair of snow-white delicate and slender hands that revealed the black robe, he was made of glass from head to toe. The legs of the glass, the arms of the glass, the body of the glass, the head of the glass, the whole body is translucent, and under the transparent skin is a faintly bubbling dark blue liquid, and the whole person emits a cold blue light, as if a lost alien, cold, weird, and out of place.

I held my breath and looked into his face. Transparent cheeks, dark buns, and stretched eyebrows, delicate and picturesque, but, however, he slowly turned towards me, opened his mouth, and showed snow-white fangs!

I screamed like a tear and turned around and fled. Hit the transparent cover directly, was bounced back, and landed at the feet of the glass man. Looking up, the slender suffocating fingers, and above the palms were transparent suffocating arms, reaching out towards me, trying to pull me up or strangle me. Anxious to attack the heart, my eyes were dark, almost fainted, and suddenly I found that several people had surrounded me, including my brother, my lord, Huahai, and Jicheng......

My brother's face is so scary, I've never seen it before, my eyes are red, my fangs are hideous, it's terrifying...... I finally passed out.

It's already the moment when I wake up, and I'm dragged like this, walking in silence. It was as if something was holding me in my chest, and when I reached out and touched it, it was a book and a ball. I was stunned for a moment before I realized, this bead is a pearl given by the blue dragon.

Blue Dragon. Blue Dragon. I'm sorry.

A pair of hands timidly hugged me, then let go, caress my cheeks, gently tugged my hair, and then hugged me tightly.

The invisible hand is here again. For some reason, I wanted to be hugged at this moment. I let go of Mingzhu and placed my hand lightly on the invisible hand. sighed.

My brother looked sideways at me, his face had returned to normal, silent, except for his eyes shining in the darkness. Seeing that I was fine, he gently tugged at my earlobe and continued to walk quickly. I don't know how many times he has done this little action in the 16 years that I have been sleeping and lying quietly. Gently tugged on my earlobe, and then said briskly: "Meiyi, don't be lazy anymore, it's time to wake up today." "I've been saying this for more than ten years. Thinking of this, my heart warmed, pressed the question, and quickly followed.

There was no word on the train. Just like when I came, my brother and Huahai sat next to me. The sea of paintings embraced me, gentle, quiet, and very considerate. But my shoulders felt the warmth of her palms, cold at one moment, hot at the other. She tugged at a lock of hair and wrapped it around her fingers, circled it, loosened it, wrapped it back on, and kept it back on. And her snort, because it was close, I heard it deeper, shallower, and the rhythm made me panic. I pushed her hand away and fell asleep against my brother. I'm so tired.

A voice came from far away, and I vaguely heard my brother's voice: "If you can't wake up Meiyi, I'll carry her into the fort." Then the lady's voice said briskly, "This child has not slept enough for more than ten years." Then came the voice of the adult: "Take Meiyi directly to the flower hall, everyone goes, and there is something to discuss." Then came my sister's voice: "I poured a glass of milk and brought it to Meiyi, she must be hungry." "When I heard the word "milk", I sobered up.

It's the first time I've come to the Red Castle Flower Hall, but I don't care about looking around, I take the milk in front of me and drink it all. My brother reached out and wiped the corner of my mouth with his sleeve robe, and I smiled embarrassedly. Only then did I have to raise my eyes to look at this flower hall, which was much smaller than the hall where I woke up in the morning, and the hall where they received me was much smaller, with red roses, silver leaves, and branches on the walls, both real and illusory. I only glanced at it, it turned out that everyone's preferences are similar, just look at this rose wall, but I don't know if this flower wall eats people or not. In the center of the room is an oval-shaped tooth-white table, hollowed out in the middle, with water flowing, and fish floating in the water, colorful and vivid. It was the first time in my life that I had seen a fish in the water, and I was so excited that I was about to reach out and catch it, but my brother pulled me back to my seat. The ivory-white table top is warm and greasy, and there is a faint light shining under the tabletop, and there is a slender fish shadow fluttering by. I loved it in my heart, and I couldn't help but put my face on it. At a glance, I saw that the adults and the ladies were already seated across the table.

The adult frowned slightly, his eyes looked at me, pierced me, and stayed somewhere behind me. The adult's chest rose and fell, and he was about to open his mouth, but Mrs. gently reminded me, and her eyes swept over me with a smile: "Don't worry, wait until the girl from the sea comes to talk." ”

"It's coming, it's coming. Huahai chuckled, and the red robe flashed, pretty and light. He put down the milk cup in front of me, sat directly on the seat next to Madame, thought about it, pursed his lips and smiled, and got up and sat next to me. Madame smiled silently, and never took her eyes off her.

I lowered my head and casually swiped my fingers across the tabletop, chasing the fish shadows below. My brother gently touched the instep of my foot with his toes, but he didn't say a word.

"Meiyi, except for you, everyone here is a member of the Holy Clan. The adult said, his voice was flat and slightly tired. I looked up and took a quick look at him, and he was looking at me with a solid look of sadness.

My heart jumped suddenly, "Except for me", that is, I am not a blood clan, so what am I? am a human being? And my sister, from now on, she is the same as her brother, she has become a blood clan, she will not grow old, she will not die, she will suck blood, and she will always exist.

Thinking of this, his brother's hideous fangs and unrecognizable face flashed in front of him, and his chest rolled for a while, and he didn't dare to turn his head to look at him, nor did he dare to look at the sea of paintings, just stared at the glass of milk that had just been brought in front of him.

The adult continued: "Today's birthday through the clouds, the new life of the painting sea, and the awakening of beauty, it is already full of joy, and the candidate for the new king of the painting sea is the icing on the cake." ”

I opened my eyelids lightly, and peeked through the eyelashes, although the adults were reflected in the red robe, but their faces were gray, how could there be any joy? The elder brother clasped his hands together and put them on the table, he stared at his hands, as if he wanted to use his own eyes to pick out the blue branches that were slightly beating under the skin. But it was the lady and the sister, whose faces could not be concealed with joy, rose from their cheeks, and then slammed into each other in this flower hall, and the joy exploded into powder, and then drifted back to them, so that they were shrouded in a very tender, tacit love.

"Painting the sea, tomorrow is about to set off and embark on the road to becoming a king. The adult said, looking at his sister, his face was slightly relaxed.

"Yes, sir. The sea replied crisply. The face is like a rose, and the eyes are clear. The tone is deferential, slightly excited.

"You're so old in the blink of an eye. The adult said: "You grew up under my knees, I know that you have been proud and ambitious since you were a child, but this road to the king is by no means easy, let alone fighting with your life!"

"Don't worry, sir. What the sea of paintings have been waiting for for 17 years is today, reborn and reborn as a new member of the holy family, it is already a joy and ecstasy, not to mention that the holy king intends to abdicate, I and the monarchs are candidates, until this moment, the sea of paintings is still drunk, like in a dream. My lord, I will do my best to draw the sea, and I will not stop it. As for what the adults said about the difficulties and dangers, others can bear it, how can the painting sea not be bearable, I hope that the adults are relieved. If you get it, I'm lucky, but I can't, I'm dead. How it ends, Huahai can bear it. After my sister finished speaking in one breath, the whole person seemed to be burning, and the light was unbearable.

Madame has always been beautiful and reserved, and everything is indifferent to her, at this moment, she suddenly got up, without saying a word, walked to her sister's side, and held her tightly in her arms.

I sat next to me, and I had the momentary urge to go over and hug them, but I didn't move, I ...... A little undaring.

The adult looked at them, muttered for a moment, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said, "You, Meiyi, go with your sister." ”

Before I could ask why, the door of the flower hall slammed open, and a dark shadow stumbled in!
