Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 290 The Aura of Death

"...here it is?"

Xing slowly turned her head, looked around at her surroundings, her face full of confusion.

Clearly, she was also unable to adapt to this sudden change in scenery.

Who can understand the feeling of being chatting and laughing with your companions one second, and then having your view taken up by a broken tower the next?

However, this sense of bewilderment did not last long for Xing.

When she came to her senses, her eyes swept around casually and immediately locked onto the three familiar figures directly in front of her.

At this moment, Lin Qiong and Xia Die were staring at the tower with solemn expressions, while Sai Feier was complaining about something with a displeased look on her face.

"Hey! I went through all that trouble to bring you guys here, you should at least thank me, right?"

Just as Xing quickened her pace toward the three of them, before she had taken more than a few steps, Sai Fei'er's complaints clearly reached her ears.

"What's the meaning of all of you staring at that giant egg? It can't possibly be more attractive than a priceless jewel, can it?"

Giant Egg?

Hearing this, Xing frowned slightly, silently repeating the two words in her mind. Then, imitating the other two, she peered into the tower.

Sure enough, inside the tower, a giant egg, its entire body a pale purple, lay quietly in the center of the broken tower.

Around the giant egg, there was a layer of almost transparent, yet clearly visible, purple mist that firmly enveloped it.

If you look closely, you can see that the layer of mist is rising and falling rhythmically in line with the rhythm of the people's breathing.

It was as if the giant egg itself was breathing.

"Miss Saifei, what exactly is this...?"

Xing walked to Sai Fei'er's side, her eyes fixed on the giant egg in front of her, and then asked softly.

“I searched the whole city and finally found this egg in this tower.”

Sai Fei'er glanced sideways, shrugged her shoulders slightly, and casually replied in a nonchalant tone, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Titan of Death you're looking for."

"The Titan of Death?"

Xing was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on her face, and she subconsciously repeated the words.

The Titan of Death? An Egg?

The stark contrast caused her brain to freeze for a moment.

It's hard to imagine how the Titans, who control the cycle of life and death, could be connected to a giant egg brimming with life.

"Do not believe?"

Sai Fei'er seemed to see the doubt in Xing's heart. She gently raised her hand and pointed to Xia Die not far away.

"Look at how the 'Dwelling Narrowness Princess' looks, and you'll know."

Xing looked in the direction Sai Feier was pointing and saw Xia Die staring wide-eyed, her mouth slightly open, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

Even though there was nothing in that space except for a giant egg, Xia Die's gaze remained fixed on a certain spot, unable to look away for a long time.

His expression was as if he had seen a long-lost relative.

"Alright, now that the commission is complete, you can arrange your own time from now on."

Saifei stretched lazily, her graceful tail swaying gently behind her.

She glanced at the stars with a nonchalant expression, then slowly began to speak:

"Remember to tell Princess Wuju for me that I will personally go to her to collect my reward."

As Sai Fei'er spoke, she somehow pulled out the cat-ear coin again and began to play with it deftly.

"Also, I haven't figured out how to use the condition that Gray Number One gave me yet. I'll tell him when I have an idea."

"Grey...Number One?"

Xing's attention was clearly drawn to this strange nickname, and she unconsciously repeated it aloud.

Are you talking about Sora?

Sai Fei'er nodded slightly and admitted, "Of course, he brought up these conditions himself. Who else could it be but him?"

"Then..." Xing looked at Sai Feier, opened her mouth, and almost subconsciously blurted out, "Who is number two?"

“Of course it’s you,” Saifeier replied without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Xing fell silent, stroking her chin in deep thought, as if she were seriously considering something.

After a moment, she raised her head and asked Sai Feier with a serious expression:

"Can't I be number one?"

Saifeier: "......"

This question caused a moment of silence.

It took Sai Fei'er several seconds to come to her senses, her lips twitching slightly:

"Uh... your angle of focus... is really unexpected..."

"Fine." She spread her hands and said helplessly, "We'll do it your way. From now on, you'll be Gray Number One."

Hearing this, Xing nodded with satisfaction.

However, the ownership of the nickname "Grey Number One" has now been settled.

An invisible chill, icy cold, emanated from the broken tower in front of it through the open door.

This chill was not an ordinary low temperature; it possessed an essence of decay, death, and the deprivation of life.

At this moment, a thick layer of moss was densely covering the wall next to the gate.

But when that chill swept over the moss, the moss, as if it had come into contact with strong acid, instantly lost its original color and turned withered and charred.

Immediately afterwards, as the moss continued to shrink and wither, it peeled off the wall piece by piece, falling to the ground and crumbling into dust.

Lin Qiong happened to see this scene.

His pupils contracted rapidly, and an indescribable sense of horror surged within him. He could no longer bear to observe the giant egg and immediately tried to retreat.

His intuition told him that beneath the seemingly ordinary shell of that giant egg, a terrifying monster capable of instantly annihilating life was probably brewing.
