Chapter 1211 Postmodern Science Fiction Style
You can’t just grab people one by one and explain it, right?
Suffering such a big loss, Jiang Bilian was deeply hit and depressed. She cried several times under the quilt in the dormitory, and gritted her teeth and wrote the debt to Xia Yingluo.
Xia Yingluo was so badly criticized before. Now that the truth has been revealed, many people have turned to sympathize with her. Many people also said that the scene of her walking in the rainy alley was very meaningful and unforgettable. In a small area, she gathered some fans and spontaneously set up a forum and discussion group to follow her movements.
Jin Linger smiled and said she was a blessing in disguise.
Xia Yingluo was also in a good mood. In a blink of an eye, the date came for her date with Wei Lingnan. She dressed up beautifully and went happily. The location this time was the villa in Shanglin Nanyuan. The transfer procedures for the house that Wei Lingnan promised to give to her had been completed, and he invited her to take over the house and drink and watch the stars.
The villa is beautiful.
It can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into decorating it in a surreal science fiction style. The entire building has a perfect silver-gray streamlined shape, giving it a pleasing futuristic feel. Unknown decorations can be seen everywhere on the walls of the living room, in the corner of the dining room, and on the bedside of the bedroom. Some of them look like some kind of plants, and some look like... monsters.
“This villa is for you,” Wei Lingnan said, and he mixed a cocktail from the bar and handed it to her.
She took the wine glass and took a sip. It tasted very good.
“Thank you,” she said. Although she is the eldest daughter of the Li family, it is not difficult for her to buy such an expensive villa, but it can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into the decoration inside, and it is by no means an ordinary luxury house.
Wei Lingnan smiled: "Cheers."
The two of them drank a cocktail together, and a comfortable feeling of dizziness gradually crept into Xia Yingluo's mind. It's strange. She has a good drinking capacity since she was a child. Why does she get drunk so easily when she drinks with Wei Lingnan?
While slightly tipsy, he took her to visit the villa.
Stepping into the long and narrow corridor on the second floor, Xia Yingluo turned her head and saw a huge decorative painting embedded on the wall.
The painting is a vast battlefield, with extremely low blood-colored clouds rolling and rolling, and endless Zerg species—yes, Zerg species. Xia Yingluo can only find such adjectives to describe them. They look like the ones in science fiction movies. Alien reptilians—are laying siege to a small group of…
What is a small group?
It's also very sci-fi and abstract, and it's hard to describe.
Some of them look like humans, but they only look like humans. Part of their bodies turn into monsters, with sharp limbs and tail bones; while some are purely in monster form, with densely packed sharp teeth and cold, inorganic pupils. People are terrified. They were covered in blood as they fought against the endless hordes of bugs. The battlefield was full of insect corpses, but there were not many corpses of such monsters. It was obvious that even if they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, they were not at a disadvantage.
The war scene was so shocking that Xia Yingluo was stunned.
Wei Lingnan stayed by her side and looked at her expression: "Do you like it?"
She was speechless. Something about this painting struck her heart hard, making her feel dizzy and the blood all over her body was boiling. It was as if... she wanted to rush to the battlefield and fight side by side with those monsters. As if fighting the enemy bravely. This feeling had never happened before, it came suddenly and without warning, it was so strange.
Wei Lingnan stretched out his hand and slowly pointed it out to her: "These are the Skatana tribe."
He was referring to the group of monsters that fought against the Zerg. So, do they have names?
Xia Yingluo was dizzy even more, and she swayed before she managed to stand still: "Ska...Tana tribe?"
This pronunciation was a bit awkward to pronounce. When Wei Lingnan looked into her eyes, she only felt something sound ringing in her ears, but it seemed like there was nothing. The strange, metallic resonance-like feeling when she first saw him came back. It was like a dreamy void, making her legs weak and almost falling to the ground.
It seemed like ten thousand years had passed, and it seemed like just a short moment, the voice disappeared.
Xia Yingluo looked pale and looked at Wei Lingnan: "Just...what happened to me?"
Wei Lingnan did not answer her, and could not answer her. His little girl...has she forgotten even her local accent?
How he longed for her to understand that strange resonance, and how much he hoped that she could respond to him with the same resonance, but for now, this was only a luxury hope. He didn't even dare to use too many local accents on her. The sonic resonance from the most advanced race in the universe might damage her health or even kill her.
He turned his head and continued to point at the painting with his knuckled fingers: "These warriors are all men, or males. In the Skatana tribe, females are very precious."
She looked at him suspiciously. Everything about him tonight was strange.
Without her needing to respond, he continued: "Males fight to protect females. I am the guardian, and I fight for Aluo." Some lonely voices echoed in the air. If he loses her, his life will also be lost. It loses its meaning.
Xia Yingluo finally realized something was wrong. The man in front of her was telling her this sci-fi war scene as a real story! How can this be? Where in the world did the Skatana tribe come from, aliens?
Xia Yingluo felt that she was drunk and had auditory hallucinations. Or was it because he was drunk that he said these nonsense?
She stared at Wei Lingnan as if she had seen a ghost. She wanted to ask him if he was drunk. Seeing his sober and calm appearance, she began to wonder if he was sick or not - could it be because he missed that A Luo too much? Are you insane? Or maybe A Luo didn't exist in the first place and was just a fictional character? This also explains why he keeps pestering her. Perhaps, he just wants to find an incarnation of A Luo in the real world.
And she was unlucky enough to be favored by him.
"Wei Lingnan..." She sighed and said cautiously, "Do you think you are from Skatana?"
"It's not the Skatana people, it's the Skatana tribe," Wei Lingnan corrected her, "Human? It's just a narrow way of talking about human beings. There are thousands of races in the universe, far beyond human imagination."
…Well, he is really very ill.
"I know a psychiatrist..." she murmured, "I'll take you to see him another day."
He looked down at her with an unpredictable expression.
She felt a little guilty when he saw her. Under the dim light, his shadow stretched very long on the corridor wall, as if it wanted to merge with the monster in the mural. In a daze, she had an illusion, as if the Skatana planet he was talking about really existed, and he had really protected a certain girl for who knows how many years.
