Chapter 1288: The Dead Ghosts
Since the period of Ancient Earth, humanity has undergone massive migrations and developed to this day, and the scope of human survival is no longer limited to one planet, one star system... But in order to remember history, whether it is the Alliance, the Empire, or various regions... all implement the 24-hour system. The Main Star Nami Star of the Alliance also naturally implements the 24-hour system. However, the time Nami Star takes to revolve once around its star is approximately 730 days, and it rotates once in about 48 hours. Thus, Nami Star requires 48 hours to transition from day to night. On the Main Star, a 24-hour day and a 24-hour night are continuously repeated, alternating in cycles. From Ji You and the others registering at the Alliance First Military Academy, stepping into the arena, and the competition progressing till now, the glow of the star is gradually fading, and the long night is about to begin—
In the gradual light and shadow, Ji You slowly walked out from behind the hidden stone block. Her form was mostly covered in the shadows stacked by the ruins, inexplicably elongating her figure... The sky was getting dark, shadows expanding, yet Ji You tilted her head and looked at Wei Yun, her face with a smile, red lips and white teeth, with a faint gleam flickering in her pitch-black eyes... just like a Soul Summoner emerging from Hell.
"Wei Yun," she said softly, delicately, with a hint of sharpness.
Wei Yun was startled, extremely startled, as she fell to the ground. For a moment, she felt her heart suddenly contract, and it seemed like all her internal organs were in her throat, thumping... Wei Yun gritted her teeth, trying hard not to show weakness, desperately calming the tumult within, gripping the short sword tightly, she said: "Ji You... are you here to kill me?"
Ji You shook her head, but said: "No—I’m so kind, how could I do something like killing?"
She shook her head as she approached Wei Yun, saying: "I’m here to take you away."
I believe you’re an idiot.
You’re taking me away?
Where are you taking me?
You’re as scary as an old witch now, I’m not going with you. Wei Yun, terrified, pursed her lips, asking: "...Did you cause these ruins?"
Ji You lifted her foot and moved closer: "It was me, but it wasn’t me. Look, the scenery here is picturesque, why bother with these artificial stupid things that ruin the view."
Wei Yun: "..."
