Volume 9 Chapter 1 (1/2)
Chapter 1: Advancing into the Drainage Channel
Atlantis5:30 PM
I had a dream
A dream that should be a continuation to the previous one but also like a dreaun
In uely sense that this was a black path, and I see from all around the path Then, they wanted ht
That path wasn't too long, and I was able to walk out in just a short while The light before ht, I saw a person standing there
A person that couldn't be any more familiar to me
I saw Senior standing in the light That sight and that feeling were very familiar, as if I had once seen this scene before However, this time there are some differences: His loose hair scattered in the air was silver, co silver Looks like this is once again different from the Senior in my memory
The surroundings brightened, though this ti scene eed before ling sound of floater that spread icy mist everywhere
This is the Ghost King's Tomb
It's the second time that I've dreamed of this taboo place
Senior slowly raised his head, and our eyes met It was only then that I realized that this ti inside that piece of ice The surrounding mist almost covered his whole body, and the silvery-white seemed to blend with the water
There was aan ice sculpture, instead of a living person
He just stood there, without saying a word
And then, I oken up
”Yang Yang?”
The second I openedin front of me ”Are you awake?”
After seeing that I ake, Chifuyu moved back I blinked, still a bit hazy The entire roohtly diht
There were still a few people lying nearby The most obvious was Yado who squeezed himself in beside me yesterday He looked like he was in a deep sleep I didn't dare to wake him up, so I carefully moved a little, and in a low voice, I asked Chifuyu, ”What's wrong?”
Chifuyu shook his head, ”You were sleep-talking”
”Me?”
He nodded again
Strange, why didn't I know that I have the habit of talking in my sleep?
Oh no, I didn't wake up the others, right?
I secretly glanced around A few of the only the twins still asleep
”Shh, they went to prepare breakfast Let's go outside to talk” Chifuyu likewise answeredoff the bed I also followed him and ether
The corridor outside was dimly lit too, but all the curtains in the corridor had been drawn back The earlyone a refreshed feeling
”What did I say in rabbed Chifuyu and asked
It can't be that I had unconsciously revealed where I hid s that I'd done before, right? Oh my God! If that was the case, then just how many people heard it?
”Since the volu, except for a few frag about a black path or so” Chifuyu shrugged, showing that he was also unsure of what I said ”Do you have any impression of what you dreamed of?”
I uncertainly tilted ht for a moment
That's weird, it see just now, but after I woke up, I forgot everything I couldn't even remember what I saw in my dream ”Nope, I have no impression at all”
This indicates one thing: turns out I've already become senile ahead of time
”There's nothing we can do if you forgot it Do you want to go back to sleep? Yesterday the last ones standing guard were Leido and Yado And since it didn't seeht, they're still a little tired, so we've decided to set out a bit later”
Not peaceful?
That's right, during senior Gasai's shi+ft, there seemed to be a bit of trouble too Looks like the one who slept the ht was probably me
To be honest, I felt a little ashamed
”That, I don't need to sleep any I could help with?” I patted s
”There shouldn't be If you're awake, then you can go freshen up and head downstairs to eat first” With a ”pa,” Chifuyu poked my forehead ”We still have soot it?”
”Okay~”
Then I quietly walked back to the room, took my backpack, and darted into the bathroom to freshen up When I came out, I saw that those tere still sound asleep I didn't dare to wake theain
Chifuyu, as originally outside, had already gone somewhere else I suppose he probably went downstairs and the like Since he's not me, there's no need to worry too much about him
As soon as I got to the staircase, before I even stepped down, a certain fragrance had already floated up toward the stairs
Softly, the scent of freshly baked bread
Seriously? Those two people actually still had the mood to bake bread!?
I ran down in three or two steps and rushed toward the hall The fragrance was even thicker downstairs And then I saw a certain someone, who should have been separated from us, appear inside the hall
”Good ” Probably wasn't here in the hostel last night and yet appeared in the hostel today, senior Geng raised a hand and greeted me
The world really is enigmatic…
”Good , senior” I was totally unable to understand how she had appeared in this place
”Don'tby here when I coincidentally bu said it felt exactly like soot invited into the house to eat breakfast
”…Senior Randall wasn't with you?” And I thought that these two people would more or less meet up with each other, since they are, after all, in the same team
Geng very elegantly picked up the cup on the table and sniffed the aro here for quite a while now), ”We were together yesterday, but later we split up to look for clues We arranged to meet up today at noon at theas she told me this, ”Just now I heard about the situation frouys down into the drainage channel You guys can go underground, and we'll gather infore barrier It'd be faster if both sides work together”
She briefly finished telling
I fully understand her roups ”Nn, ah! Senior, have you seen Ryan or Ziray?” Besides the players from the other schools, as of now, the two of them still haven't been found yet It can't be that they siht?
Geng shook her head, ”Don't worry Even though those two numbskulls are nu really does happen, so you don't have to worry too much about them” The way she said it was like we could just leave them be outside, and they would still be able to survive perfectly fine
”I' eradicated…” Not to uy starts attacking, everything within that area gets destroyed I wonder if breaking things here would cause us to have our money deducted too
A thick aro about?” One of the two-people kitchen group, who actually had the , was holding a big baking tray, with a couple of freshly-baked big loaves of bread on it The stea hot air and aroma filled up the entire room
”Nothing, just so waved her hand and didn't continue the topic
The bread was on the table, and for a second, my saliva almost dripped down Now I suddenly don't feel that they were too bored, instead I had a very grateful feeling Being able to sreat enjoyment…
Yidoout a few s them on the table, followed by some freshly-made jam on a plate
Wait a minute, freshly-made jam?
Where did you guys go to get so as random as freshly-made jam!?
”This was made by Leido and Yado yesterday I heard that when it was their tian in succession, they decided to siuard was too boring, they found a couple of oranges and whatnot, and made a few hours' worth of jareat detail the origin of that inexplicable thing ”Gasai and I saw this in the early h on the spur of the moment”
…Since standing guard was too boring, you had to go ht…
Turns out that their so-called ”not peaceful” was due to their own itchy hands that it became not peaceful!
I suddenly had the feeling that it was superfluous for me to be ashamed just now
It was about half past six when those toke up
After senior Geng ate her full, she hurriedly left We could totally feel that she really did come here just to rest and eat, a very dedicated passerby
”You guys wouldn't have used up the hostel's entire reserve of flour toa little later, Chifuyu looked at the table full of bread, and issued the question above
In fact, I was also thinking about this question
Because starting from just now, everyone had already eaten one round, and yet the table was still so full In between that, there were also a few people going back and forth for refills, causing h for a few hundred people
”The extras can be brought along as e to the elven recipe, so if you don't deliberately break the time”
For some reason, senior Gasai's words sounded very familiar It can't be that next, he'll say these breads are actually the same kinds as the famous elven specialty, leht?
I was really afraid that he would say it
However, senior Gasai didn't say that, ”We'll set out at seven sharp After you finish eating, pack your stuff and gather at the big entrance”
