Section 18: Wonderful Candy House (1)

Volume II The Lost Empire

11. Carmela in the Shell

When the old clock in the corner points to "ten", the splendid candy house opens on time.

This is the unwritten rule of Splendid Candy House.

"Jingle ..." The wind chimes at the door gave off a series of crisp sounds, and Dongfang Xiao, who was sitting at the counter, stared at the door slightly.

there is no one at the door.

so it's the wind.

Dongfang Xiao raised her hand to hold the cold chest, and her heart that had been dead for a long time was slightly painful. She subconsciously looked at the bar by the window, as if she saw an indifferent teenager, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, staring at the counter, which was her direction.

guarding the splendid candy house, in fact, she is waiting for someone.

In the past, he would show up at the store at exactly ten o'clock every day, and then sit alone on the bar by the window and make a cup of coffee.

But that man ... made a contract with God without authorization on the day of the last judgment, and he accepted the judgment instead of her. From then on, he returned to the dark country, abandoned the light and fell into eternal darkness.

from then on, he was sealed in the dark country and could not step out again.

He once said that he would take her home. He said that the dark country beyond the Three Realms is her home and the place where she should go.

but now, he is sealed there alone.

he said, let me take all the sins with me and disappear forever. You are still you.

he took all the sins that should belong to her for her.

and she ... doesn't know where the dark country he mentioned is.

Even though she can travel between time and space, she still can't find his trace ...

"Xiaoxiao ..." Lott yawned and went downstairs, muttering in his mouth, "Why do you want to open the store in the morning ... We are blood clan, and the blood clan is Nocturnal Animals ..."

The Oriental who was interrupted by memories looked back faintly: "Yan Ping, you are up ... Lott yawned in the middle, looked at Dongfang Xiao doubtfully, his head was a little funny for a long time, and then he jumped up like a bum. "Yan Yan Yan Ping! Ghosts ... "

Rushing downstairs like a gust of wind, Lott shrank to Dongfang Xiao's side, with a face of shock:" Where is he ...? "

" You said that Yan Ping is a ghost. Is it possible for ghosts to haunt in broad daylight? " The east gave him a white look.

"But we are blood clan ... even the blood clan got up so early, what else is impossible to happen ..." Lott blinked his blue eyes, and pleaded with injustice.

Dongfang Xiao touched the bone bracelet on her wrist. At the beginning, Yan Ping was able to hang out in the daytime because Aunt Yan collected men's yang to subsidize her. Now, Yan Ping, like a normal soul, can't see the sun.

Seeing Dongfang Xiao stroking the bone bracelet on his wrist, Lott leaned forward with a sad face: "Xiaoxiao ... you really changed your mind ..."

Dongfang Xiao ignored him.

"I trust my life in your hands. How can you change your mind ..." Lott shook his head and sighed.

"what about leaving? Finally back to his bar? " Unable to stand Lott's wordiness, Dongfang Xiao changed the subject.

"hmm." Lott nodded excitedly. "We can finally be alone."

Section 19: Wonderful Candy House (2)

The consequence of ignoring Yan Ping's existence is that ... just after Lott said this, the temperature in the candy house suddenly dropped several degrees.

"Why are there no guests ..." Dongfang Xiao frowned. "Lott, go to the door to solicit customers."

"soliciting ... soliciting? !" Lott's mouth twitched. "Why me? !"

"Because I only have you." Dongfang Xiao is of course authentic.

"Only me ... Only me ... Xiaoxiao only me ..." Lott fell into an infinitely beautiful imagination and turned to the door happily. He looked at an unknown object at the door and was slightly stunned. "Huh?"

"What's the matter?" Seeing Lott standing at the door with a surprised face, Dongfang Xiao wondered.

"There is a package at the door." Lott pointed, "I wrote your name."

"package?" Oriental Xiao Yang eyebrow, "move in."

"It's a big ... package."

Dongfang Xiao stood up and walked to the door. When he saw it, the parcel was really big. Visually, its length, width and height were nearly two meters. "Move in."

Lott was excited when he moved the huge package into the candy house. "Xiaoxiao, guess what's inside?"

"Just have a look."

"Could it be a bomb?" Lott a face of fear tunnel.

"Why do you say that?"

"That's what they do on TV." Lott acted innocently.

Oriental Xiao has a black line on his face. This boring guy is watching boring TV series again.

"Give a gift ..." Lott thought with his chin propped up, and then looked nervously at East Fang Xiao. "Could it be someone who has a crush on you! My goodness! Is a rival in love! "

Dongfang Xiao is speechless about this guy's noisy level. When he climbs out of his imaginary world, it is estimated that it will be tomorrow morning, so it is better to do it yourself quickly.

Dongfang Xiao stepped forward and opened the package herself.

hmm? It's a strange thing.

The silver surface is like a shell, a huge shell?

"Is there a mermaid hidden in it?" Lott's eyes began to shine.

The shell slowly opened, and the harsh silver light overflowed from the gap. Suddenly, Lott was splashed with water.

Lott's eyes widened in disbelief, and it was … really … a mermaid!

In the center of the shell sat a petite girl with long seaweed hair covering her naked body. She had amazing beauty, but she had a fish's tail.

the legendary mermaid!

"Are you ... Carmela?" Oriental xiao good half-day, some hesitate to ask.

The girl in the shell nodded. Her eyes are blue, which is different from Lott's blue color. Her eyes are dark blue.

If Lott's eyes are like the clear sky in the afternoon, then the girl's eyes are like the sea, so deep blue, so clean blue, so pure blue, so blue … a little sad.

Oriental Xiao Ding looked at those dark blue eyes, unable to open his eyes for a moment. What beautiful eyes.

"What's Carmela?" Lott asked curiously.

"A half-human, half-beast creature transformed by genetic engineering, such as a mermaid." Dongfang Xiao recovered and turned to take the computer.

"Has human science developed to this point?" Lott was in high spirits.

"This research is prohibited." Oriental dawn light tunnel.

"forbidden? Then she ... "

" Atlanteans have this technology, "Dongfang Xiao glanced at the girl who was half fish," ... but before 12,111 years ago, after a volcanic earthquake and flood, Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant, and its civilization gradually disappeared in people's memory and became a disappearing country. "

"My name is Wu Aili." The girl in the shell suddenly spoke, and her voice turned into a song. "When that tragic day and night happened more than 12,111 years ago, it was Lord Kelami who saved me. He was the energy priest of Poseidon."

"... Lord Kelami asked me to wait for him in Gibraltar, but I waited in that sea for more than 12,111 years, and he didn't come to me ..."

"Maybe he died before 12,111 years." Lott threw cold water on the side idly.

"impossible! Lord Kelami exists like a god! He won't die! " Wu Aili was a little excited and then looked at East Fang Xiao. "I want you to go back to before the disaster and help me find Lord Kelami ..."

"Okay." Dongfang Xiao nodded and agreed very simply.

"Xiaoxiao is going to the mysterious empire this time, remember to bring back the local products ~ ~" Lott shouted excitedly.

"Lott, did you really let her go to Atlantis before 12111?" A faint voice suddenly sounded.

I don't know when I came in.

"Yeah." Lott nodded vigorously.

"Atlanteans use up to 91% of their brains. They have strong spirit. They can communicate with animals easily and even create intelligent robots. That place is very dangerous." Sit down on the sofa and frown.

"You're afraid Xiaoxiao will be in danger, so I can't help you find Mo Wen in Pompeii?" Lott hey hey smile.

Section 21: Wonderful Candy House (4)

Li shrugged: "Aren't you afraid that this woman is in danger? I thought you liked her very much. "

"Yes, I like her very much." Lott carelessly admitted that he didn't know how to write the word "implicit".

"Then you still put her at risk?" Pick your eyebrows.

"I'm not asking her to take risks, I'm taking risks with her." Lott looked at East Fang Xiao with a smile. "I promised to stay with her forever. Don't forget that I have already concluded a blood Covenant with her. She can only live if she gives birth to me, and I will die if she dies."

Li snorted and stopped talking.

Dongfang Xiao felt a little warmth in her cold chest. She smiled gently: "I'll be careful."

Lott ran up to her with a moved face and took her face up: "I knew Xiaoxiao cared about me the most ... Xiaoxiao was really the best for me, and Xiaoxiao really loved me ..."

Black line.

12. Atlantis

Poseidon is the capital of Atlantis, nine kilometers from the sea.

Blue sky, cotton candy-like clouds, and occasional breeze blowing, the air actually emits harmonious music.

Dongfang Xiao stands on the street of Poseidon and looks at the city that has disappeared for more than 12,111 years.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" gunshot. At the moment when Dongfang was stunned, someone grabbed her hand and pulled it hard. She was dragged to stumble, and a bullet narrowly brushed her cheek. It was a silver bullet.

Silver bullets do substantial harm to the immortal blood clan. But ... Why do they use silver bullets? Don't they know that a blood clan after 12,111 years is about to travel through time and space and come to Poseidon?

this is ridiculous.

It was a teenager holding her, with short blond hair shining brightly in the sun.

"Run!" The boy took her by the hand and ran away.

Dongfang Xiao was inexplicably dragged by the blond boy in the street. As he ran, Dongfang Xiao did not forget to turn his head to look at the shooter.

oh, it's not a person, it's a group of people! They wear uniform and silver masks with flying wings printed on them.

who are they? She's new here. Why are you after her? Her appearance is not ugly enough to make people kill their hearts at first sight!

They rode motorcycles ... if the vehicle that can fly in the air can be called motorcycles ... In short, they chased her on strange vehicles, and it seems that they are really not going to let her go. Section 22: Wonderful Candy House (5)

But Dongfang Xiao still doesn't quite understand why he ran away, which is so strange.

"This way ..." The blond boy took her and rushed into a tunnel-like place without looking back.

After entering the tunnel, Dongfang Xiaocai discovered that there were many intricate corridors under the ground, followed the young man around the underground corridors, and finally got rid of the group of "motorcycle wild one".

"Hu ... finally got rid of it." Blonde boy crouched down, Gas.

"and you are? ？" See him? The appearance of dying, Oriental XiaoBen wanted to wait for him? Take a breath and ask questions again, but finally I can't help my curiosity. One can't help but open my mouth.

The blond boy gave her a white look and stood up straight without answering the rhetorical question: "How did you get into Silverblade?"

"blade?" What is that thing?

"You don't know?" The blond boy touched his chin and said, "Blade is an assassination organization in the city. Generally, when they look at it, they are basically dead."

Dongfang Xiao laughed. The blood clan ... was already dead.

"What are you laughing at?" Blonde teenager frowns.

"No, I think they mistook me for someone else. I'm a stranger here for the first time."

"Really?" The blond boy opened his eyes slightly. His eyes were amber, a beautiful color.

"hmm." Dongfang Xiao nodded solemnly.

The blond boy grinned at Dongfang Xiao, patted his chest and said, "You are lucky to meet me. Don't worry, I will protect you whether their goal is you or not."

Look at his brilliant white teeth, and Dongfang Xiao blinks. Well, it's not very reliable ...

"You don't trust me?" The blond boy's brows knit together.

The double-breasted coat, slim trousers and serious expression really don't match this sunny teenager.

"Kaloc."

"What?"

"My name is Kaloc." Kaloc said with a serious face, "I swear by the reputation of the commander of the 72 nd District that it is my responsibility to protect your safety!"

"Commander?" Dongfang Xiao was a little surprised.

Kaloc proudly pointed to the badge on his sleeve: "I am the youngest commander in Atlantis, and I just took office today."

it turns out that the new official has three fires.

dongfang Xiao can't help smiling.

"Let's go." Kaloc took Dongfang Xiao's hand and said, "Come with me to patrol."

"Huh?" Smart Oriental dawn rarely shows a trace of dementia.

"I'm going to visit the city. Since I said I would protect you, it's certainly safest to follow me."

Section 23: Wonderful Candy House (6)

So, the "lucky" Oriental Xiao was dragged around the street by this rookie commander who only met once and had a strong sense of justice and mission.

"By the way, I forgot to ask, what's your name?"

"Oriental dawn."

"What a strange name."

"..."

"Are you a stranger and this is your first time in Poseidon?"

"hmm."

Dongfang Xiao chatted absently with him and visited the city that has disappeared for more than 12,111 years, with beautiful and spectacular buildings, spacious and clean streets and bustling crowds.

There is a faint music in the air, which is very beautiful.

"Where did the music come from?" Dongfang Xiao could not help but ask.

"It's the house singing." Kaloc blinked and smiled mysteriously.

a singing house?

"Look there," Kaloc raised his hand and pointed to a row of golden domes, which were dazzling in the sun. "As long as the temperature of the wind is different, those gilded domes will make a wonderful sound, usually three syllables."

"Three syllables?"

"Well, the third is the important feature of Atlantis. For example, the lines will be repeated three times. The building complex is composed of three groups of similar buildings, three pyramid towers and so on. The streets on each floor here are distributed diagonally, from one corner of the sea to the other ..."

Just as I was talking excitedly, there was a commotion in front, and the crowd was crowded, which seemed to be watching something.

"get out of the way!" Kaloc rushed out at the first time. "What happened!"
