Mist

Chapter 13: Ouroboros

As an artificial colony, the bookstore in PU-31 had a vast assortment of books. Books covering anything and everything and catering for all ages and preferences were available and there were also old and new books. It was obvious that they had been procured from different places.
This time and space they were in was far more accepting of parallel worlds than the one they came from. Judging from the number, there were likely more than one place similar to PU-31. Ji Yushi however found that there weren’t many books covering this matter in this bookstore. The book found earlier called <Mini World: PU-31> was noticed mainly because it had a conspicuous name. It showed that the people here didn’t find something like that novel that important —- Of course, it didn’t rule out the possibility that all the knowledge was stored in the cloud or in the online library.
But fortunately, there were some gains.
As Ji Yushi walked around and looked, Song Qinglan helped take down the books he needed.

Ji Yushi wasn’t someone particularly arrogant and he didn’t deliberately use the bruises on his wrist to take advantage of him. He only just pointed it out earlier and along the way forgave him.

With him holding grudges so easily, it’s a wonder how he can find a boyfriend.
Song Qinglan took in Ji Yushi’s side profile. From his angle, he could see Ji Yushi’s focused expression. Those eyelashes of his were like tiny fans.
Probably because he looks good.
Even if they have different sexual orientations, their aesthetics should be similar to what they see in women.

After a while, both returned with a tall stack of books.

“Hurry up.” Song Qinglan threw the books onto the floor, “Pick out the useful information.”
“I know.” Ji Yushi responded without looking up.

With the sun high up in the sky outside, the lighting was particularly good.
The sun shone into the bookstore, casting a golden glow, but no one appreciated its brilliance.

Far in the distance was the dormant black wall.
Up close were the zombies pressed up against the glass windows, letting out growls as they scratched at it.

“Splat.” A zombie was squeezed against the window so hard, its turbid eyeball exploded onto the glass, leaving filthy gore trailing down.

Song Qinglan could bear with it well but even he found it somewhat disgusting.
When he turned around, he saw the other three looking at the two of them with intriguing expressions, as if they were wondering what happened after they went out to scout out the area.

Song Qinglan narrowed his dark eyes. Seeing this, the three of them immediately rushed over and divided the books between them.
“I’ll also look!”
“Here, here, here. Come help out.”
“Look for place names, people and anything related to darkness!”

The moment Zhou Mingxuan opened a book and saw the words inside, he immediately felt dizzy. He then stood up with his gun, “Um so, someone should be on lookout. I’ll watch over the situation from the second floor.”
Li Chun: “Old Zhou put that down. Let me go!”
Tang Le pulled Li Chun back. He wasn’t in the mood for the tricks and his expression was stern, “Search around properly, in case you find something useful.”
Li Chun obediently sat down.

Song Qinglan thought for a while about the matters they had discussed earlier.
He went back to the counter of the bookstore and found the bookstore’s communicator he had overlooked earlier.
If their speculations were in the right direction, then the Tianqiong system of this era doesn’t have a command centre and even needs to hijack Guardians from another time and space for help. Was the Tianqiong system controlling the mission itself?
Song Qinglan couldn’t reach a conclusion.
