Chapter 367 The Name Was Discovered
Unable to bear the unsettling text filled with praise, Lin Xiyue decided to speed up her reading and quickly skim over the blush-inducing compliments.
Her eyes swept across each line like lightning, eager to find the main point of the article.
Finally, near the end, Lin Xiyue's eyes suddenly froze.
She saw a few words that made her realize that it was no coincidence that the people in those two photos looked familiar to her earlier.
It reads: "Here we praise our King—Belke Meros. He is our mighty and majestic King! We hereby swear that we will forever be loyal to our King!"
Upon reading this, Lin Xiyue realized with a start that the reason she had felt a sense of déjà vu with the people in those two photos was because they were none other than the young Meros.
She had seen Meros as an adult and as a child, but she had never seen him as a teenager.
So, despite the lingering sense of familiarity, she couldn't quite place where she had seen it before.
Upon discovering that it was actually Meros, Lin Xiyue's heart raced instantly. Her fingers moved with lightning speed, using energy tentacles to tap the buttons on the screen and quickly flip through the photos.
Soon, Lin Xiyue flipped back to the first photo, the one with the close-up.
"What's wrong? What did you find?"
Ling Ye, who was standing nearby, noticed Lin Xiyue's unusual behavior and hurriedly asked her what was wrong.
"Um... well, let me tell you roughly what those words said."
Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, composed herself, and then spoke to Ling Ye.
Her voice was slightly low, as if she was thinking about how to express what she was about to say.
Seeing this, Ling Ye quickly nodded in agreement, his eyes fixed on Lin Xiyue, eagerly awaiting her explanation.
Lin Xiyue gathered her thoughts and began to tell Ling Ye the contents of that long passage of foreign script.
She tried her best to convey the key information in the text to Lingye using concise and clear language.
However, Lin Xiyue remained conflicted throughout the story.
She knew that if she told Lingye directly that the person presiding over the sacrifice was Meros and that he was the new king of the alien race, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.
After all, leaking such information without Meros's consent could have adverse effects on him.
Therefore, Lin Xiyue decided not to reveal this crucial information for the time being, but instead to tell Ling Ye the specific content of that long passage of alien script.
As she spoke, Lin Xiyue's gaze remained fixed on the photograph of the young boy, as if trying to fill in the regret of never having seen him at that age.
She slowly recounted the contents of the densely packed text to Lingye, her tone revealing a hint of helplessness.
“Almost 80 percent of this is useless praise,” Lin Xiyue shook her head, “It’s really speechless.”
Ling Ye listened to Lin Xiyue's description and a look of shock appeared on her face.
Looking at the lengthy article, he sighed inwardly, wondering how much time and effort it must have taken to write it.
"If I were to write it myself, let alone the entire piece being almost entirely filled with praise, I can say with certainty that I would struggle to even write a third, no, a tenth. After all, as you said, almost none of these phrases are repeated."
Lingye said with a wry smile.
He spoke with lingering fear, while quickly writing down everything Lin Xiyue said, afraid of missing any detail.
"So, this man is their new king?"
After finishing recording, Ling Ye looked up at Lin Xiyue, who was still standing in front of her staring at the first close-up photo, and asked.
"what?"
"Yes, this is their new king."
Lin Xiyue was stunned when she heard Ling Ye's question. After a while, she came to her senses and quickly nodded in response.
Seeing this, Lingye thoughtfully stroked his chin and carefully examined the boy, Meros, in the photo.
The boy had delicate features and looked quite young, at most fourteen or fifteen years old.
"This new king looks so young, he still seems like a child."
Lingye murmured to herself.
"Yes, but the article says he's already an adult, right? If he's not an adult, he probably can't become their new king... I guess that's how it is."
Lin Xiyue listened and echoed her words.
She paused slightly on the last interjection, as if she hesitated.
Unfortunately, using the word "吧" here is rather awkward, especially when the person being discussed is her boyfriend.
"Hmm, you have a point. But it seems we can't find any more information here. How about we look at other albums?"
Ling Ye didn't pay much attention to Lin Xiyue's tone. He glanced at the photo of Molos again and then made a suggestion.
"Okay, let's look at the other albums then."
Lin Xiyue thought about it and thought Ling Ye's suggestion was good. So she recorded all the photos she had just seen on her terminal and nodded in agreement.
Just as Lin Xiyue was about to close the page, her finger accidentally clicked on the next page.
The image on the screen flashed by, but the name of the photo that flashed by in that instant stunned Lin Xiyue.
Because the screen was so large, when Lin Xiyue and Ling Ye were looking through the photos together, they were focused on the photos themselves and didn't notice the names of the photos at all.
Just now, as Lin Xiyue was about to close the page, she saw the photo's name clearly for the first time.
The photo's title was clearly displayed on the screen: "Belker's Record of the Moment of Adulthood".
Lin Xiyue stared wide-eyed at the name in disbelief, a strange feeling welling up inside her.
She hurriedly looked at the names of the other two photos, only to find that the names of these two photos had also been changed, and they were written in a very... well, very perverted way.
For example, the second photo is a full-scene photo. In the picture, Belk is standing in the middle of the altar, and the sunlight shines on him, as if gilding him with a golden light.
And the title of this photo is—"Belker's highlight moment? (^_-)".
Yes, there's a heart after the name.
Looking at the name, Lin Xiyue felt a chill run down her spine.
