Chapter 109 A Storm Begins from the End of a Floating Stream
Xing looked at her.
Are you sure?
"Absolutely certain, absolutely certain, and without a doubt."
Hoshi waved his hand, as if shooing away flies.
"Alright, alright, that's settled then. Don't tell anyone. We'll sneak into the village quietly, and no shooting. By the time they realize what's happening, we'll probably have already chopped that three-headed monster into mincemeat and come back."
"I'll bring them some deep-sea specialties, like sashimi with the tentacles of the sea bream."
She stood up while spouting nonsense, preparing to go back to her room for a nap.
After all, the aftereffects of being corrupted by nothingness were still there; she felt as if her brain was stuffed with cotton, and she was feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
however.
Just as she straightened up, before she could even take her first step...
A fragrant breeze suddenly wafted up from behind her.
That wasn't the scent of some expensive perfume.
Rather, it is a kind of...
It's a mixture of the dust of memories, the passage of time, and a cloyingly sweet scent of nectar that makes your scalp crawl.
Followed by.
A pair of slender, fair, and soft arms, like an elegant venomous snake or a gentle vine.
It slipped under Hoshino's armpit, gently yet irresistibly...
He wrapped his arms around her neck.
"Oh dear♪"
A voice rang close to her ear.
The airflow brushed against the downy hair behind her ears, causing a shiver like an electric shock.
"Where is the little leader planning to go for fun?"
"Why didn't you take me with you?"
"Could it be... that she's planning to go on a date behind my back?"
boom!
Mohoshi's body instantly stiffened into stone.
She could even hear the cracking sound of her cervical vertebrae rubbing together.
That voice... that tone... that damn tilde...
Xi Lian?!
How did she get in?!
Is the train's safety system just for show?
Didn't Pam say that unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter the observation car?
And I just checked, there wasn't even a fly in the carriage except for the few core members!
"Xi...Xi Lian?"
Hoshi turned his head with difficulty.
They met those blue eyes, so close they seemed to reflect the stars and the abyss.
Xi Lian was lying on her back, her chin resting on her shoulder.
Her long pink hair fell down, intertwining with Hoshino's silver hair.
She was smiling.
Her smile was so gentle and virtuous, so warm and beautiful.
But Hoshino clearly saw a hint of something in those eyes that were smiling like crescent moons...
An extremely dangerous, chilling light.
It's like a giant beast lurking beneath a calm sea, ready to devour anyone it can.
"How could you...?"
"Shh-"
Xi Lian extended a finger and gently pressed it against Xing's lips.
"It's a secret♪"
She blinked.
"Memory can flow. Wherever you are, wherever everyone is, that's my 'door'."
"so......"
Xi Lian's fingers slid down Xing's cheek, finally stopping at her collarbone. Her fingertips gently circled.
"You just said...you're not bringing anyone?"
"Whose trouble are you finding annoying?"
"Um?"
The last syllable rises in pitch, carrying a chilling sense of threat.
Hoshi swallowed hard.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
"Um...darling."
"Let me explain."
"That place is really dangerous! It's a 'monster'! A ghost after a ghost has died! Even the star gods would shake their heads at such a ghostly place!"
"I'm doing this for your own good! For everyone's safety!"
"Look, you've just been resurrected, your bodies haven't fully adapted to this era yet. What if you bump into something..."
"Excuse♪"
Xi Lian interrupted her lightly.
She tightened her arms around him.
The soft touch against Dohoshi's back made him feel as if he were carrying a mountain of five fingers.
"Noriboshi".
Xi Lian leaned close to her ear.
The voice was kept very low, only two people could hear it.
"Have you forgotten?"
"I am the guardian of memories. I am a ghost that has crawled out from countless reincarnations and countless deaths."
Are you afraid of ghosts?
Or perhaps...
Xi Lian's tone suddenly became somewhat aggrieved and resentful.
"So you're actually looking down on me?"
"Do you think I'm a burden?"
"You think I'll only hold you back?"
"No, no, no! Absolutely not!"
Nikoboshi shook his head like a rattle.
joke!
Disdain for Xi Lian?
She wouldn't dare even if she had ten times the courage!
This is a woman who can carry the entire memory of Onphalus on her shoulders!
In terms of sheer mental strength, she's probably even tougher than that half-baked Star God!
"Then why didn't you take me?"
Xi Lian was relentless and unforgiving.
"I......"
Star is speechless.
She genuinely didn't want Xi Lian to take any risks.
That place was filled with indescribable horror. What if Xi Lian were corrupted? What if her beautiful, pure world of memories were tainted by those disgusting things...?
"If you don't take me with you."
Xi Lian suddenly released her grip.
She took a half step back, put her hands behind her back, and revealed an extremely bright smile that made Hoshino feel that disaster was about to strike.
"Then I'll do it now, immediately, right away."
"Go tell Aglaia."
"Tell Saifei, tell Fengjin, tell Bai'e."
Tell them...
"Their most beloved savior intends to abandon them and go off to be a hero by himself."
"I plan to do it again..."
"Leave them behind."
This move is too cruel.
That's like cutting off the fuel supply at the root of the problem.
If those Golden Descendants knew the truth, the scene... Just thinking about it makes Hoshino's scalp tingle.
Aglaia would definitely tie her to a pillar with gold thread for a lesson.
Saifeier would definitely steal all of her underwear as punishment.
Feng Jin would definitely hug her legs and cry for three days and three nights.
Bai E... Bai E will probably just stand at the train door with his sword as a gatekeeper.
"No, no, no!"
Hoshino raised his hands in surrender.
Utter defeat.
In front of this seemingly gentle but actually ruthless guardian of memories, her little thoughts seemed completely transparent.
"I'll bring it! I'll bring it, okay?!"
"I'll take you there! I'll take you there!"
Hoshi looked utterly dejected.
"But it's a deal! You're the only one I can bring! Absolutely no one else can tell! If the whole family ends up going, we'll really look like we're delivering takeout!"
"Sold♪"
Xi Lian's expression changed instantly.
The dangerous aura from before had completely vanished.
She pounced on her like a happy little bird, cupped Hoshino's face in her hands, and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.
