report on behalf of the CNEOST collaboration

We performed the search for the optical counterpart of LIGO/Virgo 
S190521r (LVC, GCN 24632) with the Chinese Near Earth Object Survey 
Telescope (CNEOST) at Xuyi, Jiangsu, China. The 3 x 3 deg^2 imager 
scanned high probability regions of the LVC localization that are 
accessible to CNEOST. Following are statistics of the tiled observations:

StartTime (UT):               2019-05-21T15:41:24.772
EndTime (UT):                 2019-05-21T18:58:17.206
Skycover (Square Degree):     558.0

Apart from our previously reported optical transient (OT), OPEM-19ki in 
GCN 24647, which was also observed by RATIR (GCN 24650) and ATLAS (GCN 
24653), we discovered another OT as well. Both of them are finally found 
unrelated with LIGO/Virgo S190521r.
