Chapter 257 Her Unexpected Person
It was unknown how long it had been before the system's voice finally sounded again: [Welcome to the headquarters.]
After hearing the system's words, Qiao Yuan also opened his eyes and looked around.
Qiao Yuan was the first to notice Gu Yan standing beside him, and the other party also opened his eyes. After his eyes met Qiao Yuan's, Gu Yan quickly looked away.
This was the first time the two met offline after a while.
However, Gu Yan also knew what was more important. After taking his eyes off Qiao Yuan, he began to look around.
Qiao Yuan had heard the system introduce the headquarters before, saying that it was a place that was difficult to describe in words. At that time, Qiao Yuan thought that the system's language was not good enough, but now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she finally understood what the system meant.
The place where they were seemed like a very large space, and at first glance, there was no end in sight.
The dark night and countless things that look like glass beads make up this space.
Just as Qiao Yuan was looking around, Gu Yan's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Look."
There were only two people present, so Gu Yan's words were naturally addressed to Qiao Yuan.
After following Gu Yan's gaze , Qiao Yuan's eyes paused.
What Gu Yan asked her to look at was one of the glass balls. When she looked inside through the transparent shell, Qiao Yuan seemed to see a miniature world.
Gu Yan: "This is a copy of the world I have been to before."
It was because of this that Gu Yan recognized him quickly.
The other party's words also made Qiao Yuan unable to help but be stunned. After all, if Gu Yan said it, it meant that the ball was filled with a copy of the world...
No, or rather some other real world.
With this in mind, Qiao Yuan looked at other glass beads again, and indeed saw a familiar world in them. That world was devastated, and even as a bystander, one could feel the desolation.
This is exactly the copy world that Qiao Yuan had stayed in before.
But the city that seemed so vast to her at that time now seemed only the size of a glass bead.
Gu Yan was also staring at the glass beads in fascination.
When he realized that the world he lived in was just one of the glass beads, a rather strange and subtle feeling emerged in his heart, as if he realized for the first time how insignificant he was.
Looking at the countless glass beads in front of him, he finally understood what the world was like.
So the creatures staying here are observing them through the glass ball?
After reading it, Qiao Yuan withdrew her gaze and asked in her heart where the headquarters system responsible for negotiating with them was.
However, Qiao Yuan asked several times but did not get any response from the system. After realizing this, Qiao Yuan quickly asked Gu Yan and drew his attention back.
After learning that Gu Yan was in the same situation, Qiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and guessed that it was probably the same as before.
Because they entered the headquarters, they were temporarily unable to contact the system.
Just as Qiao Yuan and Gu Yan were looking around to see if there was any creature they could talk to, Qiao Yuan suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
Gu Yan also quickly noticed that Qiao Yuan's gaze paused. He followed the other person's line of sight, and both of them felt the tension in their hearts at that moment.
Gu Yan's gaze fell on the other person.
The two of them had been looking around and keeping alert, so when did that figure appear?
Qiao Yuan’s gaze was also fixed on the figure, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
After all, she was very familiar with that figure. It was Su Zeyuan whom she had just remembered.
However, the other person was not wearing a school uniform. Instead, he was wearing a moon-white robe. His already delicate face showed a sense of holiness and unattainability.
Although it is still a familiar face, the feeling is completely different.
Qiao Yuan could feel Su Zeyuan's gaze on her, but there was no warmth in his gaze, as if he was looking at a stranger. It was obviously the cold version of Su Zeyuan.
But it was okay if she didn't remember her, after all, her and Su Zeyuan's separation was not a happy one. Qiao Yuan remembered that she played a trick on him at the end of the copy, and at that time she didn't know that they would meet again.
Just when Qiao Yuan thought that he had forgotten her, Su Zeyuan spoke up again and called out her name: "Qiao Yuan."
Qiao Yuan: “…Yeah.”
Su Zeyuan's tone paused for a moment, then he turned to look at Gu Yan and called the other person's name.
Gu Yan didn't know Su Zeyuan, so she couldn't wait to ask: "Did you call us here?"
"Who are you?"
There were only three figures present: him, Qiao Yuan and Su Zeyuan, so Su Zeyuan's appearance quickly made Gu Yan subconsciously guess the other party's identity.
Although it was a question, he already had the answer in his heart.
Su Zeyuan replied seriously: "You can call me Su Zeyuan, or you can call me the Eye of Narcissus."
"I asked the system to find you."
