How to Easily Capture a Long Aotian [Quick Transmigration] 95

Chapter 95: The Otherworldly Friend of the Manga World’s Number One Protagonist (Part 7)

Three days later, the city in the sky opened as scheduled. The few most powerful presidents of the Esper Association stood on four sides, their expressions solemn, and they used their esper abilities to guard the cornerstone and guide the city gates to open.

The city in the thick fog stood tall in the frosty forest. It was completely white, mysterious and unpredictable, and in a cloud of mist, it showed its appearance to everyone.

The espers who had come from all over the country were gathered at the city gate, and they looked at the city gate with various expressions, and they were all waiting for the city gate to open. When it opened, they quickly went inside.

Yu Lin and Xu Zhouyan were walking in the crowded crowd, and they did not look conspicuous.

In these few days, the presidents of the Esper Association had come to invite Xu Zhouyan to act with the association, but Xu Zhouyan had refused them all. He was a man of few words and only said that he was used to acting alone. The various presidents knew his style, so they did not persuade him anymore.

Only the president with white hair and a beard, wearing a green association robe, had specially come over in the evening sunset and had had a secret meeting with Xu Zhouyan.

Before he left, he had stood in front of the hotel door, and he was stepping on the ice and snow and the orange sunset. After a moment of hesitation, he had still turned back and had reminded Xu Zhouyan, who was seeing him off, “The secret says that that is another world outside of this world. Even you have to be careful.”

The president’s deep gaze was on Xu Zhouyan. This young man was walking alone, and he had cooperated with the association a lot. With him around, the world was always much more stable. Personally, he had more trust than suspicion for Xu Zhouyan.

Xu Zhouyan sensed his friendliness, and after a moment of silence, he nodded lightly in the slanting light of the setting sun and said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

The president nodded, turned and went away, but the information he had left behind had given him an inspiration. Xu Zhouyan had not hidden it from Yu Lin, and in the evening, he had said to Yu Lin, “The switch to go home is in the city.”

“Okay.” Yu Lin looked at him in the dim light of the hotel, and he was holding a cup of hot water, and he nodded lightly.

Hearing the hint of another world outside of this world, Yu Lin had a slight idea in his heart.

He guessed that the city in the sky represented the edge of the manga world, and the setting of this script was that the worlds were shuttling between each other.

But it was not until he had truly entered the city with the crowd that he had known that there was a big gap between his guess and the reality.

The name of the city in the sky did not seem to have come out of nowhere. After he had entered the city, Yu Lin had raised his eyes slightly, and in the endless white clouds, the first thing he had seen was a large area of stones floating in the air.

When a person’s feet stepped on them, it was as if they were stepping on the drifting clouds.

The entire space had only huge, completely white stone pillars standing in all four directions. Between the stone pillars, where the clouds and stones were drifting, there was a long, upward-walking staircase, solemn and sacred, and it went all the way up, to a place that he did not know.

It was a place that looked as solemn as a temple.

The entrance space was very small, and there was not much open space. A continuous stream of espers had walked into the city, and they had nowhere to go, so they had all gone up the stairs.

Unconsciously, the dense crowd was like a winding ribbon that led upwards, and it was getting further and further away, and in the end, it had disappeared into the clouds.

No one knew where this road led, so most people could only bite the bullet and walk up. Only a few cautious and powerful people had stayed on the not-so-large open space at the bottom of the stairs.

It was not until the night had turned, and he could not feel the passage of time, that the city in the sky was still having people come in, and the people at the bottom of the stairs were still walking up in a continuous stream.

Many people had noticed that something was wrong, and they had frowned and had asked, “What is that place up there? Where are we going?”

A group of espers were staring at the towering staircase above the city in the sky, and their expressions had changed, and they had looked at the entrance, which had been clearly visible when they had entered, but was now empty.

The entrance gate had already disappeared, and it had become a cloud of mist, but there was still a continuous stream of espers entering, as if it were eating people.

Yu Lin was held by the wrist by Xu Zhouyan and was left at the bottom of the stairs. He was staring at the crowd, and his expression was solemn.

As more and more people felt that something was wrong, and the exit was closed, many people had reacted and had begun to be unwilling to go up the stairs, and they had started to argue over the not-so-large open space at the bottom of the stairs.

In the midst of the argument, someone had been thrown into the clouds, and the gentle and quiet clouds were like a man-eating marshmallow, and it had opened its mouth and had eaten the person. This scene, like a fire cooking oil, had instantly aroused the fear in everyone’s hearts.

“What the hell is this! What is this thing!”

“Didn’t they say that there is a switch to turn off the monsters here? Where is the switch? I don’t want to die for no reason!”

“Get away! This is my place!”

Fear and the unknown had crushed everyone’s nerves, and the dense crowd had been aroused, and they had become aggressive, and they could not maintain their composure.

The city in the sky seemed to have sensed something, and after a moment of fluctuation, a large number of monsters had suddenly appeared in the sky.

Then there was a tragic battle.

Screams, curses, and struggles. The sky had changed color, and it had become a deep black. The stairs that went up had also become transparent, and it seemed that they were about to disappear in front of everyone.

In a clap of thunder, Yu Lin had been picked up by Xu Zhouyan, and they had rushed towards the disappearing stairs. They had been forced to go up with the continuous stream of people on the stairs, and they had wound their way forward, towards the unknown.

At first, the stairs were full of people. He didn’t know how long they had been walking up, but the people around them had gradually disappeared, and it had become empty. A dripping sound of water had suddenly been heard from an unknown direction.

Unconsciously, the world had become extremely quiet.

Yu Lin and Xu Zhouyan did not dare to separate. Their fingers were intertwined, and they had been walking forward. He didn’t know how long they had been walking, but a light had suddenly lit up on the dark horizon.

At the intersection of light and dark, the boundary between black and white was clear.

A bright gate of light was standing in front of the two of them, and it was a solemn, clean white color.

The gate of light seemed to be damaged, and there were cracks on it, which were flashing like transparent light spots.

“Is this the connection between the city in the sky and the outside world?” Yu Lin had made a guess.

Xu Zhouyan had walked over and had wanted to open the door. He had lifted his fingers, but they had passed through the gate of light.

Behind the gate of light, a continuous stream of monsters had been born from the space rifts. They had been born from the rifts and had been thrown towards the world below.

This was the source of the monsters, the end and the secret of the world.

The world was quiet. Yu Lin and Xu Zhouyan had looked at each other lightly.

In an instant, whether it was Xu Zhouyan of this world or Yu Lin of the other world, at the end of the world, and seeing this scene, they had both understood one thing.

The legend was correct. If they wanted to stop the monsters, this door that led to the outside of the world needed to be completely closed.

Xu Zhouyan’s hand was on the door again, and the gate of light had become transparent, and it could not be touched.

He had looked at Yu Lin, and Yu Lin had come over, and he had lifted his fingers, and he had firmly held the switch of the door.

The people of this world could not touch the teleportation gate of this world, and the energy fields were the same. To avoid random shuttling, Xu Zhouyan’s hand on the door would only pass through.

To save the world, and to close this door, only a visitor from another world could do this.

It was like the number one protagonist of the manga world who was saving the world, brave, hot-blooded, young, and had an unusual special ability.

But the setting of this person was actually not Xu Zhouyan, but Yu Lin.

In the last world, Yu Lin was the necessary part. A high school student from another world, brave, kind, and with special abilities.

Someone had set a script for him, and the inspiration was infinitely close to his wild thoughts when he was a young man.

To become the number one protagonist of the manga world.

To become many of the characters he had wanted to experience.

Yu Lin’s eyelashes lifted slightly, and he was standing by the gate of light. He looked at this door, and his fingers lifted slightly, and he touched the switch of the door. The temperature on the switch was warm and gentle, and it was not scorching hot, but he felt that it was a little hot.

He looked up, and his eyelashes moved slightly, and he stared at Xu Zhouyan, who was looking at him in silence, and who was oblivious to this.

At the edge of the world, and in the place of shuttling, Yu Lin could feel that this was his end. After he had gone out of this door, his mission this time would be completely completed, and he would return to his own world.

Xu Zhouyan did not speak, but just stood by and waited. He was in a black robe, and his expression was cold and handsome, and he looked taciturn. He had come here just to send him home.

Yu Lin looked at the gate of light and did not move. He was silent, and he was almost in a daze. His hair was suddenly ruffled.

He looked up at Xu Zhouyan, and Xu Zhouyan was also looking at him. He suddenly took a step back and gently pushed him towards the door. “Go. It’s the way home.”

But Yu Lin did not move, and he looked at him quietly, and he was silent.

He was still wearing the scarf that Xu Zhouyan had put on him, and it was actually not cold anymore, but it seemed to be able to block something.

Yu Lin did not move for a long time. Xu Zhouyan looked at him, and after a pause, he asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Yu Lin’s expression was quiet, and he was a little in a daze. After a long while, he asked softly, “Xu Zhouyan, who are you?”

His eyelashes lifted, and he looked at this person who was both familiar and strange to him. After a while, he repeated softly, “Who are you? Do we know each other?”

He had asked suddenly and strangely. Xu Zhouyan was stunned for a moment, and the fingers on his hair paused. A slight wave flashed in his dark eyes, and then he frowned slightly, and he returned to his usual calmness, and he was puzzled. “What?”

There was a fleeting daze and struggle in the depths of his eyes, but it was suppressed by an unknown force, and it quickly returned to its usual calmness. He was just silent.

Yu Lin took a deep breath, and he looked at him, and he was also silent.

This was his beloved who had been with him day and night. He had originally thought that he was an NPC with a mind of its own in the script, and while he was carrying out the mission, he was investigating the rules and looking for a way to leave together.

But in the end, he had only then discovered that his source code was actually the same as his own. They were from the same world.

When he had just learned of it, Yu Lin had been in a daze for a moment. He had stayed in the quiet and warm manga world to sort out his emotions, and he had stayed for a long time, day after day.

In the manga world, a rain of pink flowers was falling every day, and it never urged him.

From a very early time, Yu Lin had felt that the mission world of this trip was very friendly to him. It was not so much because it was a vacation world, but rather that the world was gentle to him.

After he had sorted this out, in the last world, he had only then gone to look for the manga that could shuttle through the worlds, to see Xu Zhouyan, to see this person who was both familiar and strange.

Yu Lin looked at Xu Zhouyan, and his eyes were clear, and he said softly, “Xu Zhouyan, my high school classroom was on the third floor. There was a sign downstairs, and it always had the grades on it.”

“When I was in high school, I liked to draw manga in the corner of my desk, and I liked to add a narrator’s complaint outside the manga.”

“I wanted to draw a manga of my own, and the theme was a hero who saved the world. But the protagonist was always forgetful, and he would be busy with other things on the way to save the world, and he would forget the main plot. In the end, he did not become a great hero who stood tall, but he became an ordinary gardener.”

“In one of the ideas, I had also conceived of a legendary city, but in this world, I had not thought of the setting of this city, so it was empty.”

“Xu Zhouyan, these words, these things, had once existed, but even I can barely remember them.”

“Even if I had created this world, it would not have been more like what I had imagined back then. Xu Zhouyan, who are you?”

Yu Lin said it word by word, and his expression was calm.

He looked at Xu Zhouyan, and his chin was buried in his scarf, and the outline of his face was quiet and gentle. He asked, “I’m about to leave here. Before I leave, can you tell me what all this is about, and who you really are?”

Hearing this, Xu Zhouyan was just silent, and he did not speak for a long time.

In the quiet breathing, he looked at Yu Lin, and something in the depths of his eyes shattered inch by inch, and his expression went from confusion to daze.

After a long while, his eyelids lifted slightly, and he looked at the gentle and bright gate of the world, and then at the boundless emptiness and daze behind the gate of the world.

In the end, he looked at Yu Lin, and in the young man’s quiet gaze, his eyelids drooped slightly, and in the depths of his dark eyes was a deep apology.

He nodded, and his lip line was pressed tightly together. In the end, he said, “Okay.”
