Chapter 358 Whisper
Dreaming again.
The dream was filled with an endless abyss and countless dead souls, which made people feel depressed.
My heart is beating so fast that the blood in my body seems to be boiling.
Yiyin opened his eyes in horror and looked at the familiar ceiling above his head.
It was not until then that he realized that he had left the City of the Dead.
Baihu and Xuanwu have not returned yet - Yiyin doesn't know whether they can come back. The only thing he can do now is to wait patiently.
In addition, there is the meteorite fragment... This is the thing that made Kazamatsuri Mikan and Kabutani Sakuya think about it even after their death. It exudes a melancholy and cold color all over, which is very similar to Iin's current heart.
For it, Yiyin witnessed everyone's death.
But all this was not meaningless. In the end, Dialga forced himself to leave the City of the Dead and also gave him some abilities. In other words, even after leaving the City of the Dead, the Green-haired Turtle can still upgrade his soul.
so what?
There were four of them when they left, but now only one has returned.
Yi Yin felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She was getting closer and closer to the "five-year agreement" that Bubulu had mentioned, but she still had not achieved anything.
Yi Yin was sure that the strength of the last-place team had skyrocketed to a point that even he himself was astonished.
——Now that things have come to this, let’s go to sleep first.
It was midnight, and Yi Yin did not go home, but chose to return to the Adventurer's Guild. Perhaps he wanted to wait for Baihu and the others to return before going home.
Yiyin turned over and wanted to fall asleep again.
But he never expected that when he turned over, he seemed to hit something. Judging from the feel of it, it seemed to be a person?
Iin was shocked. With the previous experience of Uesugi Ai as a lesson, he became hostile to most people in Uqbar.
Who was it that got into his bed without anyone noticing?
Yiyin's hands were faster than his brain, and he pulled out the Xuanwu Blade involuntarily, wanting to test the other party's intentions.
But at this moment, the opponent's sword was faster and slashed towards Yiyin first. Yiyin was forced to block with the Xuanwu blade, and by the way, he saw clearly what kind of precious sword it was.
——Shura Purgatory Blade!
Seeing the sword is like seeing the person. Yiyin quickly confirmed the identity of the person opposite him.
"Brother, your reaction is a little too slow."
Isabella was yawning and looked like she had just been woken up by Yiyin.
"It's not okay to let your guard down right after escaping danger. This is Uqbar, the headquarters of Ouroboros. Tracking someone here is incredibly easy."
"Su'er, you appearing here means..."
Yiyin had already prepared for the worst in his heart. From the moment he rejected the olive branch thrown by Ouroboros, he was ready to fight Ouroboros to the end.
Now, Yi Yin had just returned from the City of the Dead, severely injured. His helpers had also temporarily disappeared, so this was indeed the best time to assassinate him.
Moreover, he even sent Isabella to assassinate him. Ouroboros really wanted to kill people and destroy their hearts!
"Did the Queen send you?"
Yi Yin thought that Isabella's Star Unicorn had probably reached S-level now, and the Green-haired Turtle's chances of winning were still as slim as before.
Isabella neither admitted nor denied Yiyin's question.
"Brother, what's the point of worrying about this now? Tonight, you are my brother and I am your sister. We have no other identities."
"not like this."
Yi Yin smiled bitterly, "Su'er... you know how bad Monster Master's reputation has become after 'that incident'. If you get too close to me, you'll be implicated."
"You're also calling yourself a Monster Master, right? Have you been on Blue Star for so long that you've forgotten your original identity?"
Hearing this, Yiyin was shocked.
He and Isabella were both time travelers, so they should have had countless conversations to check. However, due to some strange coincidences, they always missed each other.
Isabella must be bringing some big news this time.
"Brother, you have to believe me. Even though I'm in Ouroboros, I've never killed a human or monster myself. I have my limits, just like you."
"Now, I think it's almost time. We should go home—back to our original world."
Yi Yin wanted to tell Isabella that this was absolutely impossible. But Isabella seemed to have predicted his reaction and said:
"Do you remember the fairy tales you told me when I was a child? At the end of every fairy tale, no matter what strange twists and turns happened, the protagonist always returned home."
"Alice." This name suddenly popped up in Yiyin's mind.
"..."
Isabella had no time to correct him, but continued, "If the events on Blue Planet are considered a fairy tale, then you are undoubtedly the protagonist. In other words... 'The Past'."
"It is interesting."
Yi Yin also yawned. "Sounds good. Your imagination has improved a lot."
“…This is true!”
Isabella suddenly felt a surge of karmic fire in her heart, but when she thought of the task assigned to her by the Snake Queen, she calmed down again.
"I discussed this with a few friends in real life, and it's thanks to their special abilities that I was able to come here. Brother, I feel like time is running out. Blue Planet will soon be struck by a 'catastrophic event'. Before that, come home with me. Uncle must miss you very much..."
"That's not like you."
Yiyin rubbed Isabella's hair. Her silver hair looked much thinner, like a dead tree after the leaves fell in autumn.
"When have you ever worried about me? I won't leave here, because there are people I love here, and they still need me."
“…I knew you would say that.”
Isabella didn't intend to win the prize right away. "To be honest, it was Her Majesty the Queen who sent me here. I will follow you until you change your mind."
"Hahahaha, it looks like we're back to when we were kids and you were always clinging to me."
"But things are different now! I'm much stronger than you now! Do you want to have a duel?"
"Forget it, it's already late. Go to bed."
Yi Yin was very tired and needed to rest for a while. During this time, he could not think about anyone else and just rest.
He lay beside Isabella and soon fell asleep, but he kept tightly grasping the meteorite fragment in his hand - they didn't know how many companions they had lost for this thing.
Seeing Yiyin fall asleep, Isabella showed a lonely expression, then lay down beside Yiyin and slowly closed her eyes.
"...Idiot, why don't you believe me? Everything I said is true!"
Following Isabella's mumbling in her sleep, Uqbar is about to undergo drastic changes.
But on that night, no one knew yet.
