The Whispering Verses Chapter 737: The Story of Red Butterfly

Chapter 737 The Story of Red Butterfly

Behind the door is a huge room. Not only is the area larger than the entire floor of Shade's house, but its height is three times that of a normal room.

It can be seen that Granny Cassandra has carefully organized this room. The antiques, paintings, furniture, and even the music box and crystal ball ornaments on the table all look valuable.

The room as a whole has a bronze tone, because the surrounding walls and the ceiling above are all written with copper powder like runes that look like spreading vines. Looking carefully, these are the runes of various sealing rituals from different eras, which together piece together the seal of this house.

If the ground were not covered with soft red wool carpet, Shade believed that he could see similar runes on the ground.

There is a fireplace on the wall to the left of the door, and crossed swords hang above the fireplace. At this moment, the roaring fire in the fireplace provided light to this dim room. I don’t know what kind of burning wood Granny Cassandra used, or maybe there was an incense burner burning in an invisible corner, and there was a fragrant smell in the air.

Except for the fireplace, there is no light source here, so the room is a bit dark. After Shade entered the door, the first thing he saw was white and black gauze skirts scattered on the carpet. Looking forward, the four-poster bed in the center of the room takes up the largest area.

It was a large mahogany bed, which seemed to be more than enough for thirty people. The height of the four pillars reached the ceiling, and their shadows swayed on the wall as the bonfire swayed. Three layers of curtains are hung around, namely white gauze, pink gauze and the innermost black gauze.

The barrier of the gauze curtain and the darkness in the room made it difficult for Shade to see his sister Grace and sister Helen. He could only see the figures of two girls sitting on the bed, cuddling together, but he could not see their specific appearance and clothing.

One of them rested his head on the shoulder of the other, and the other put his hands around the other's back and half hugged him. Maybe they haven't been separated since they met again in the narrow room yesterday.

It’s just that these two figures don’t look like humans.

It does not refer to their appearance, but to their height. Although they were sitting on the bed under the gauze curtain, the height of their upper bodies alone showed that the height of the two of them was definitely not less than three meters. They seemed to have been magnified into giants, but the giant's figure was so beautiful, like the so-called "gods" depicted in religious oil paintings.

The change in body shape is probably one of the effects of the temporary abnormal state after the Red Butterfly twins met.

The evidence is that the whispering element in the room is very obvious. Although it is weaker than yesterday, it still makes Shade feel breathless and a little headache.

There were obviously no butterflies in the room, but he could hear the sound of butterflies flapping their wings. If he listened carefully, it sounded like two different female voices intertwined.

As the whispering elements influenced Shade more deeply, he even saw some very illusory red butterflies in the air, but most of them just flashed by, leaving behind little bits of red light before disappearing. .

"Long time no see, sir."

"Long time no see, sir."

The voices of the twin sisters were actually different, so Shade finally figured out that it was her sister Grace who was holding her sister Helen.

Their voices are hoarse and not particularly clear.

"Long time no see, Grace, Helen."

Xia De looked at them behind the three-layer curtain. He clearly had many things he wanted to ask when he was at the door, but at this moment he couldn't say a word:

"How have you been these past years?"

He asked this question again, and light laughter came from behind the curtain:

"Sir, how have you been over the past few years?"

"Not bad. In fact, for me, the separation from you is only one month."

He did not hide this, and Helen, who had placed her head lightly on her sister's shoulder in the curtain, moved and turned to lean on the chest of another figure. The shadowy red butterflies were also flying in the tent, and one of them landed on Helen's shoulder, but soon disappeared as if melting:

"Sir, for us, the separation from you has not actually lasted long."

This is Grace's voice. As a sister, her voice seems calmer.

"But, it's obviously over."

"First of all, I want to apologize for Helen."

Her figure gently stroked her sister's hair:

"I could have seen you earlier, but I had to wait until the end, hiding my identity and taking you to such a dangerous place."

"It doesn't matter."

Xia De shook his head.

“For us, in this reincarnation, each time is not just a simple return of the body to the original state, but also the return of memories and emotions to the original state. Only the memory before being blessed by God is fresh. Living, other memories of the past five thousand years, as the 22-year cycle washes away, become blurry like stories."

This explains why although they are immortals, their temperaments are still similar to those of the past.

"I have gone through cycles again and again, and I just want to meet my sister again. Time flies so fast, sir, in the blink of an eye, we are already in the sixth era."

She said softly, her tone rather sad.

"Has it been so many years?"

Helen also asked softly:

"I remember the original story, and the reunion with my sister again and again, waiting again and again, then falling asleep, and then waiting again. The meaning of life seems to be only reunion and waiting, and we should not be able to It’s considered human.”

"Back then, why did you accept the blessings of the Twin Gods?"

Xia De asked, he even thought there was almost no difference between the blessing and the curse.

"This is of our own free will. Because there is no other way to realize our wishes except this method. Sir, my sister and I are different from you."

Grace said, Shade knew that the blue eyes of the tall figure inside the curtain were looking at him through the curtain:

"We are just ordinary mortals. Even if we survive the god's drinking party with your help, we are still just mortals. It is a great honor for us that the great one even looks at us for a second."

The figure of the tall girls hugging each other behind the curtain is obviously a very charming scene, but it makes people so sad.

The blazing bonfire in the room casts the tangled shadows in the curtains on the walls carved with runes. And Xia De's shadow was watching them quietly.

"What we want is to get rid of the family curse of never meeting each other, and then be together forever. Hasn't the **** who protects the twins fulfilled our wish?"

Grace asked.

"Yes."

Helen sighed:

"God came in person, defeated the subspace evil that the family had guarded for generations, liberated the mission that had been passed down for generations, and broke the curse that my sister and I would never see each other; God gave us blessings , allowing us to live forever, allowing that bond and attachment to last forever; God even gave us the power to be the favored ones of God. Even now that God has long since left, this power still allows me to be with you. Sister, you can travel through this world freely. God has done enough for us."

"And the price we need to pay for this gift of destiny"

The figures of Grace and Helen in the curtains simultaneously looked at Shade who was standing beside the bed:

".It is just a 22-year cycle to assist the Phoenix in suppressing the narrow realm of life and death."

Xia De didn't know what to say for a moment. Their choice was really voluntary.

"The Phoenix is ​​reborn in the fire again and again. Although we were only mortals originally, we can almost be reborn in the fire now. Sir, look at these red butterflies."

Flying butterflies surrounded Shade. But when Shade wanted to reach out and touch them, the butterflies dispersed again.

"This is a witness to time, a witness to the relationship between my sister and I, a witness to our tormenting and binding each other. Time will wear away feelings, but our strong emotions and love will survive this torture and binding. But it becomes deeper. Look, God even helps us use this method to keep our original intention forever. The bitter waiting, the painful farewell, and the bruises on the neck polish our emotions and souls." /

This kind of mellow emotion can actually be described as "distorted", but for them, this is what they want.

"God has not bound us. If we want to leave, we only need to die together to end everything. But after so many years and so many times, no one is tired of the waiting and reunion."

The power in Grace’s words shows their determination.

The outsider suddenly felt that he might have understood their thoughts. This may not be the best, but at least it is not bad:

"Grace, Helen. I want to know, if we go back to the time when I met you, would you still choose this way?"

"Yes, sir."

The tall figures in the curtain almost answered in unison.

"We understood a long time ago that all mortals are mortal. We are not afraid of death, we are afraid of separation. It is my sister and I's eternal wish to be together forever."

Helen in the curtain sat up from Grace's arms. The figure held the other figure's chin, and then kissed it.

Shad cannot understand this twisted emotion, but he believes that this feeling called family affection, love or more complex feelings is actually the curse imposed on Grace and Helen.

In that God’s Wine Party, everyone had their own wishes. Although Shade could see the specialness of the twins at that time, he did not expect that they would use this method to continue the story to this day.

Torturing each other, being attached to each other, waiting for each other, and leaving each other, they walked alone in the material world for 22 years, just to climb to the top of the mountain again to meet another person.

Outlander has witnessed many stories in this world, but the story of Helen and Grace still makes him feel sad. Hongdie witnessed the cycle that lasted for two eras, while Shade witnessed the beginning of everything.

He knows the current situation and is already very good to Grace and Helen. But he didn't like the story, not at all. If the path to the sublimation of the Twelve Divinities could be completed, the outsiders would definitely not let this story end in this cycle.
