Chapter 430 Memories of the Past

"Is this where Tilan used to live?"

Standing in front of the entrance to the ground floor of Arpeggio City, Avni and Dolores looked around with a sense of novelty.

Wind and sand blew across the ground, and after passing the erected metal partition wall, a huge red well appeared in front of us. From time to time, transport ships rose up, and goods were sent out from the industrial elevator next to the giant well and loaded onto heavy trucks waiting to receive the goods.

"Yes." Tilan stood on the passage at the edge of the giant well, leading the two of them down the stairs.

The three of them stepped on the rivet-like non-slip metal floor and walked and stopped while Tilan explained to them the purpose and origin of the surrounding buildings.

"Such a channel can be blocked and closed at any time during a war. Even if a nuclear bomb is dropped, it can be effectively defended."

"The main part of the city is very deep underground, and we will have to take an elevator to get there later."

Listening to Tilan's explanation, Dolores held up the hem of her black skirt and carefully walked down the steps. The heels she wore today were slightly higher. Although they looked good, they were a little inconvenient when facing long steps. In addition, she has a relatively good figure, so she has to press her chest with one hand to keep it from rising too much.

It seems that such a place is not suitable for this usually decent and elegant young lady.

As for Avni, she is much better. Although she also lifts the hem of her skirt, it is just a habitual movement. Even without looking at the ground, she can easily maintain her balance and go down the stairs as lightly as dancing.

Tilan in front of the two of them was wearing a common school style dress today, a white tight-fitting top with a simple black ribbon on the collar, and a knee-length skirt. However, in order to avoid attracting attention, she wore He kept his gray hair and wore a hat.

"This is the elevator." With that said, Tilan led the two of them to the door of the industrial elevator.

With a burst of gear rotation and the roar of iron locks, the heavy elevator box rose from the ground. Finally, it slowed down and hit the buckle on the top floor. With a burst of steam, the elevator door opened, and dozens of people came to a stop. Passengers walked out, including a hover car and two containers for elevators.

The three of them stood aside, waiting for the people and goods in the elevator to be unloaded before walking in.

Stepping on the metal grate on the ground, crisp echoes echoed in the elevator. Dolores lightly covered the tip of her nose with one hand, not wanting the dust to stain her cheeks, but she looked around with her wide eyes. Her beautiful hairstyle and clothes were all It shows that this young lady is of extraordinary worth and is incompatible with the surrounding environment.

Since the three of them entered the elevator, many passengers have focused their attention on them. This is not surprising. The appearance of the three of them is indeed extraordinary, which is extremely rare in such a small city.

"Humph."

Avni snorted softly, and there was a faint golden flame flowing in her orange eyes. Everyone who was swept by her had the illusion of being burned, so they all avoided looking. This has extraordinary power. Everyone in the world soon understood that the young lady with blond hair and red eyes in front of them was not someone to be trifled with.

Since entering fourth grade, Avni's character has gradually returned to its former self-confidence, like a proud and blooming red lotus. However, compared with before, it has still lost some aggression. If it were her four years ago, she would probably be more aggressive. It will summon several fireballs at will, so that no one around will dare to approach or peep at all.

While riding in the elevator, Tilan told them about the past of Payin City and why the elevator they took was so big and rough.

"Everything is prepared for war. Payin City is a product of that era. Even today, there are still traces of that era."

The elevator is made so large to be able to load tanks and combat vehicles, transport soldiers and cargo, and go deep underground to avoid orbital bombing from space.

Dolores and Avni had learned about this history in class before, but seeing and experiencing it with their own eyes like today was another matter.

The three of them chatted until the elevator descended underground.

After getting out of the elevator, you will reach the 42nd floor underground. Here you can see the huge underground space of Payin City. The high dome projects realistic starry sky images, so that people underground will not feel too depressed. Between the undulating buildings, The floating cars shuttle through the neon light and shadow, like a city that is always at night.

"Don't rush to my house now. I'll take you for a walk in the business district."

Although she was entertaining two friends as a host, Tilan herself was not very familiar with the business district of Payin City. She was not a person who liked shopping in the first place. In the past, she only went out together because of Lina's invitation. Later, she went to school. I’ve never even gone shopping in Payin City.

Some of the shops in my memory are still there, while others have changed their appearance.

The brightly lit spiral streets are still bustling with people coming and going. One of the characteristics of small cities is concentration. For example, there is only one good hospital, the most prosperous commercial street, and the best school. Unlike big cities, there is only one. The city is scattered throughout, and there are some places that are hard to distinguish.

Compared with four years ago, there are many more musical instrument and audio-visual shops opened here. In the past, there were only 1-2 scattered stores, but now there are 5-6, and there are life-size portraits of Hesia Tilan in front of the stores. brand, which sells the singer's albums and D videos of her performances.

"I don't remember so many before." The girl blinked, trying to explain to her companions that she didn't take them to visit such a store on purpose.

"It's okay, we understand." The two responded with a smile.

"In fact, it's not surprising. A singer has appeared in Payin City. Such a thing can be said to be extremely rare. The locals will naturally favor you. If they meet foreign tourists, they will definitely introduce them proudly. This is Tilan's Hometown, and then tell your story for three days and three nights." Avni skillfully spoke various routines.

"Are there so many stories?" Tilan recalled that there was nothing particularly eye-catching about her when she was a child or in junior high school.

"There will definitely be some. As long as there are a few random stories, someone will spontaneously contribute to you. What they say is extremely true." Avni laughed.

"For example, you used to go to a breakfast shop. Now the owner of the breakfast shop will tell you what kind of food Tilan likes the most, and he will also make up a beautiful story, saying that it was because of a certain past event, or that you kindly helped someone. You’re a kid, I’ve heard no less than ten versions of how you helped kids in the past.”

"There are already so many." The girl raised her forehead slightly, knowing that explaining now would not make much sense.

"When it comes to helping children, I think that was the time when I took a few kids through the tunnel and then I was attacked." Tilan recalled that unforgettable experience.

"Hey, is it really true?" Avni was surprised now. She had always thought it was made up online.

"It happened once." Tilan shook her head slightly, feeling that it was a bit weird to say it, as if she was bragging, but that time it was indeed very dangerous.

"Tell me about it."

Avni grabbed Tilan's hand and spoke in a slightly coquettish tone. Although Dolores on the side did not speak, the curiosity in her eyes almost overflowed.

"Okay, okay, no need to shake it." Tilan took her hand out of Avni's arms and said that Avni is becoming more and more lively now.

"Let's go to the drink shop over there to talk." Tilan pointed to a shop not far away. Afterwards, the three of them came to the store and found a quiet place in the corner to sit down. Then Tilan slowly talked about the past.

"I had just graduated from junior high school at that time, and I was only in Sequence 2. It seemed that I had completed the admissions review that day, and then I came back..." The girl held an iced drink and juice, recalling and talking about the past.

"Then Tilan met the out-of-control man in the tunnel, and almost died there?" When Dolores heard about the fight between Tilan and the other party, her heart inevitably rose.

In the eyes of the two of them, Tilan was almost synonymous with mystery and extreme genius. They never thought that the girl in front of them almost died silently in the dilapidated underground tunnel.

"Uh..." Although I wanted to be more understated, some plot points were still unavoidable. In addition, she was not the kind of person who liked lying, so the result still worried the two of them.

"That's true, but it's over." Tilan looked at the glass in front of her and gently turned the ice cubes in it. Listening to the crisp sound, her thoughts gradually wandered away.

It turns out that so long has passed. Four years have really seemed like a world away.

"Are there any scars?" As a girl, the most important thing is beauty.

"No, you also know that I am very good at healing." The girl blinked and said there was no need to worry.

"Tilan is always like this, hiding some sad things in her heart." Dolores wanted to touch Tilan, but because the two were sitting opposite each other, Tilan easily dodged her.

"There's no need to touch your head. I'm not a child anymore." Although Tilan looked like the most youthful girl among the three, it didn't mean that she really wanted to be cared for as a younger sister.

"Okay~~Sister Tilan is the most powerful."

Avni smiled and talked about Tilan's nickname. Because of Tilan's fame and prestige in Edes Academy, many girls in the lower grades admired her very much. Later, this nickname gradually became popular among girls.

The three of them continued to chat about the past. When Tilan talked about the previous scene of being bullied by Lina, both of them were a little angry.

"Tilan was so innocent back then." Avni sighed.

"How did you solve it later?" Dolores wanted to know this.

"I wasn't as confident as I am now. After all, I was like an animal huddled in a corner at that time." The girl is no longer shy about mentioning her timidity and weakness.

"But I am still very grateful. I had such a good group of playmates and classmates. With their support and help, I fought back against Lina and broke the impression of my junior high school classmates."

"When I come back this time, I also want to invite everyone and hold a party. I used to attend events hosted by others, but now if I don't host it, people will probably be embarrassed to invite me." Tilan said about the last thing to do during this holiday. one thing.

"Indeed, if I go to the Central Star Territory in the future, I'm afraid the chances of returning to the Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory will be less and less." Delores also sighed. As the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, she has met many familiar brothers and sisters. , after going to the prosperous star field to study in college, he rarely returned to Yotsuba Crystal.

Either she is busy with her studies or working after graduation. According to her family's arrangement, she will finish college in the Central Star Territory and will stay in the Central Star Territory to enter some large companies for exchange and study. Then she will return to the Fourth Star when she is in her 30s. Ye Jingxingyu officially took over the family business.

After finishing the drinks and juice, the three of them continued to walk along the commercial street. During this period, Avni also pulled Tilan into a music and video store, and asked the clerk in front of Tilan if there was any Heshia Ti. Lan's album, as well as various performance records, etc.

"Actually, I am a true fan of Tilan. I really want to know everything about Tilan. I came to Payin City this time just to know this. Do you have a story book about Tilan's growth experience?" Avni blinked. Eyes, Zuzhen said, while Tilan on the side turned her face away, trying not to let the people around her notice her.

"There are no story books, because they have not passed the review of the Publishing Bureau and cannot be printed casually. However, we do prepare some interesting stories and photos about Miss Tilan, which are all collected from each other." As he said, the clerk made a special gesture gesture.

"Oh, is it true? Can you show it to me?" Avni continued to ask.

"Well, it's not impossible. It's just that it's inconvenient to collect these things. Our Tilan Support Association has spontaneously improved them and spent a lot of energy. If you are a member of our Tilan Support Association, we can provide them to you for free. "

"I do, but how do I join?"

"This is very simple. You just need to register and then sponsor a small membership fee." The clerk introduced familiarly.

Watching the clerk and Avni's operations, the girl next to her opened her eyes wide in surprise. Why didn't she even know that there was such an organization and she had never heard of it before?

"Okay, now you are one of us. Remember to sign in and clock in every day. You will be rewarded with points, and a photo of Tilan will be posted in the group every day."

Um? Photo, mine? Tilan turned her eyes and wanted to see who took the photo where.

"Okay~"

Avni followed the instructions skillfully, and then opened her personal terminal to receive. Soon, she entered a large group numbered 563, where the chat topics were extremely diverse, and then she found what she wanted in the public file library in the group. .

Among them, the information about Heshia Tilan is compiled in particularly detail. There are not only various images and photos of Tilan's performances after entering Edes Academy, but also photos of Tilan as a child, one of which is from the second grade of elementary school. In the photo taken at that time, Tilan was sitting in the middle of the steps, surrounded by familiar classmates and partners, holding hands and smiling on their faces.

"Wow, Tilan was so cute when she was a child, and her face still had some baby fat." Avni's eyes were full of stars, and she felt like she had discovered a new world.

How they found this photo, even I have forgotten, Tilan thought to herself after seeing the photo.

Later, Avni also found other photos of Tilan when she was a child. Generally speaking, there were mostly photos of Tilan in elementary school and very few in junior high school. Probably because there were a lot of activities in primary school, Tilan was also the center of the group of children at that time, and some other parents I also loved taking pictures of her, so I kept a lot of precious moments, some of which even Tilan herself didn’t know about. For example, there was a photo of her climbing a tree to pick fruits, a photo of her hanging on a swing with Yilin, and A photo of her reading aloud on the classroom desk.

Looking at the scene full of memories, Tilan seemed to have returned to that forgotten season, her innocent self, a little timid, but also fun-loving and lively.

Finally, a photo stayed on the screen for a long time. It was a rare photo of Tilan and her sister Themisia.

The background is still school. As the elder sister, Themisia holds Tilan's hand and hands the ice cream she just bought to the little girl. Her eyes are funny and loving, not as cold and distant as Tilan remembers.

It turns out that her relationship with her sister Themisia was once so good.
