The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

Searching the environment where her father once lived seemed to give Perlis a strange feeling. For a moment, she seemed to have returned to the good old days before the ice rain. At that time, she waited for Edward to come home every day in the mansion in Wilkin, and then pestered him to go to the sea of ​​flowers together.

The icy rain took her away from the past, and now, she is a returnee of that past.

"..."

Soon, Perlis noticed a clue: the paint on the wall next to the locker seemed to be worn, which looked a bit out of place. Perlis opened the locker again, and after clearing away the debris in the locker, she saw a small keyhole on the wall.

She instantly knew what the key was.

In silence, Perlis gently turned the butterfly knife. The dusty air lit up with tiny dots of destructive factors, slowly attaching to her blade. She inserted the blade with red light into the keyhole, and instantly, the red light spread along the hidden lines on the wall, instantly covering the entire wall.

Then, the locker slowly moved to the side, revealing a small secret door behind it.

Energy gate? Perlis had never seen this kind of technology anywhere else in the Federation, but now was not the time to dwell on it. There was a small box in the secret door. Perlis took the box out of the secret door, placed it on Edward's bed, and then gently opened it.

The first thing that caught her eye was a pile of old photos. Perlis picked up the photos and began to look at them one by one.

The first photo was a group photo of Edward, Aleph, and Ivar, with a very tall and magnificent city wall in the background, with red lines engraved on it. Perlis had never seen such a building on the continent of Ademir, at least not in the three regions of the Federation, Wilkin, and Thebite.

Pearlis didn't know where this was, but when she saw the smile on her father's face, she felt a warmth in her heart.

Miss him so much.

The second photo was of a dark land. The land was pure black, with no trace of any living creatures on it. But for some reason, Perlis felt vaguely that the land was alive. Just through a photo, she seemed to see the land turning into waves, sweeping towards her.

Where is this? Is this the so-called... "other shore"?

With doubt in her heart, Perlis continued to turn to the next picture. However, when she saw the third picture, her heart tightened.

"What...?"

It was an endless sea of ​​flowers, swaying slowly under the starry sky. At the end of the sea of ​​flowers, Perlis saw a girl: her long pure white hair fell into the sea of ​​flowers, and her tall figure stood gracefully under the starry sky. The girl looked back from a distance, her blood-red eyes looking at the photographer's position, slightly narrowed into a slit.

This is the girl that Perlis has seen repeatedly in her recurring dreams...

This sea of ​​flowers is very similar to the sea of ​​flowers in Wilkin, but it is definitely not Wilkin's sea of ​​flowers. Where is this?

Who is she?

The icy rain hit the window, sending a chill through Perlis's heart. As the huge amount of information came in, an ominous premonition gradually spread in her heart. She quickly flipped through the remaining photos. Most of them were things she had never seen before, some were landforms she had never seen before, some were weapons she had never seen before, and most were photos of Edward and other people she didn't know.

Where is this? Is this the “other side of the sea” that Edward once visited?

According to the official statement of the academy, the continent of Admir is the only civilized continent in the world, and the land extending outward is all barren and desolate. It is not only poor in resources but also has a harsh climate and is impossible to develop.

What about these photos?

Perlis put all the photos away and continued to search in the box. As she went deeper, she touched a jar that looked like it contained something.

However, when she took out the jar, she almost screamed -

"What is this..."

The jar was filled with some transparent liquid that was constantly bubbling, and floating in the middle of the bubbles was an eyeball.

A blood-red eyeball.

Perlis stared at the eyeball in a daze. Some intuition told her that the eyeball had an inseparable relationship with her.

You have to leave before it's too late.

Silver bells rang in her mind, and Perlis quickly stuffed all the useful things into her waist bag, then quickly left the room, not forgetting to put everything in its place before leaving.

Where is the place Edward has been to? Who is the woman who looks so similar to me? Who am I?

Or...what is it?

She had to leave here quickly. If she could find these things, it meant that the federals had not found them yet. In the capital, Wisel, the eyes of the federals were everywhere.

In the gap between thousands of thoughts, Perlis quickly went down the stairs and walked through the hall of the mansion. She pushed the door open and walked into the icy rain of Wezel.

However, it was too late.

"Ms. Pearlis, long time no see."

In the waist-high weeds in the courtyard, a figure in a black straw raincoat raised his head slightly, and stared at Perlis with his dark green eyes indifferently and lifelessly.

He was short and would disappear in the crowd if you didn't look closely. From his hand under the black cloak, Perlis saw that he was holding a short sword, and the thin, spike-shaped black blade was surrounded by red arcs of electricity.

[Blade of Babel] came last, [Black Cape] Mercury.

It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Do you have any message to convey?"

Mercury stretched out a hand toward Perlis, and the rain hit his black raincoat, splashing and falling into the grass.

In response to Mercury's words, there was a flash of red light. Perlis gently spun the butterfly knife in her hand, and her blood-red eyes reflected the enemy in front of her.

She raised the butterfly knife towards Mercury, and her wrist still had the scars from the experience on Wanren Mountain.

"Is this the message you want to convey?" Mercury nodded slightly, and the short sword under the black straw raincoat trembled. "Well, as Master Laplace said, you are a difficult customer to deal with."

The two men faced each other in the freezing rain of Wezel. The cold wind blew up the fallen leaves in the puddles, which fluttered in the air and finally fell between the two men.

And at the moment when the fallen leaves fell into the weeds, the pure white figure tore through the curtain of icy rain——

"bass--"

...END...

1) Pluviophile

A sea of ​​flowers, an endless sea of ​​flowers.

Falling, falling in the deep black.

There were vague and uninvited words lingering in her ears, but she couldn't hear them clearly and was unable to find the source of those words.

"Perlis, you are from..."

The same dream. Since that day on, it has been the same dream every day.

"..."

I opened my eyes and saw wind chimes hanging on the roof, swaying slightly.

The warmth from the fire, accompanied by the crackling sound of burning charcoal, is very pleasant to listen to.

My whole body felt like it was falling apart. I felt soft and had no strength at all, as if I had done too much exercise the day before and had used up all the energy that I had accumulated over the past few days.

"Well..."

Perlis got up slightly from the bed and rubbed her forehead in the gray room. For some reason, she felt very tired, as if she had experienced something great.

She rubbed her slightly sore wrist gently - her slender wrist was so smooth that it aroused her suspicion, but it seemed as if it should be so.

I always feel like... I've forgotten something.

In the dim and warm room, Perlis closed her eyes and tried hard to recall.

But she seemed unable to enter a deep thinking mode. As long as she looked into some details of the past, a slight pain would cover her heart, making her slightly anxious. The deeper she went, the more she felt an ominous sign shrouding her body, causing her spine to bear some force that should not be added to it.

"Uh..."

In a trance, a red light flashed in front of her, which scared her.

Even if it was only for a moment, she saw the shape formed by the light: it was a strange geometric shape, indescribable, like some strange experimental art.

And then, there was a deep darkness, a deep darkness that made her feel a little desperate.

"Well..."

Perlis shook her head hard, excluding all the complicated things from her mind, trying to wake herself up. The [Babel Tower Competition] was about to begin in three days, and she had to ensure that her mind was as healthy as her body, so that she could achieve her goal in the next bloody purgatory.

"call..."

After taking a few deep breaths, Perlis felt herself gradually calming down. It was only then that she heard the sound of the drizzle hitting the window.

Is there anything better than a morning with a light drizzle?

In the sudden joy, Perlis slightly opened the curtains, and her face, still a little sleepy, greeted the first ray of morning light.

In the misty drizzle, the outline of the border city of Lavis was faintly revealed.

......

"Steam Pipe", a youth hostel located in the inner ring of the border city of Lavis, has won the hearts of a large number of literary and artistic young people with its retro I-Tran style steampunk decoration.

Lavis is located on the northern border of the Federation, bordering the Grau Yad Wasteland. There are a lot of rainforests here, and the climate is humid, somewhat like the E-Tran Kingdom in the northwest of the continent. This place is the best choice for budget travelers to the Federation, so there are many tourists and a large number of people flow all year round.

But these are not the reasons why Lavis is popular with tourists. The most famous feature of this tourist city is the Tower of Babel Competition held every three years.

At the border between the southwest of Lavis and the capital city of Wezel, the existence called "The Babel Tower" stood resolutely. Surrounding the Babel Tower was the venue of the "Babel Tower Competition". Whenever the competition was held every three years, countless tourists would gather in the two areas of Lavis and Wezel to watch this modern bloody killing carnival held by the Federation people.

And that's why at this moment, the Steam Pipe Youth Hostel is full of people.

"..."

After walking up the wooden stairs for a few turns, Perlis arrived at the lobby of the hostel. The weather in Lavis was a little cold at this time, so she was wrapped in a brown fur coat, but the lining was still the same stubborn old clothes - shirt, skirt, and leggings. Therefore, in the winter when everyone was wearing thick cotton jackets, she seemed a little out of place in the hostel.

But she doesn't care about other people's eyes or anything like that. They are not as important as her own thoughts.

In the lively atmosphere of the early morning, Perlis took a quick glance and found two people waving at her in the corner——

"Little White Flower, this way~"

Carly waved to Perlis, while Pace was reading a newspaper with a frown on his face. There were coffee and plates in front of both of them, but the food on the plates had been eaten long ago. Perlis was heartwarmed to find that even though she got up so late, Carly and Pace still left her a breakfast.

"Come and have breakfast, or it will get cold."

"Coming."

Perlis sat down next to Carly and began to enjoy her breakfast: two pieces of toast with bacon and thick butter, and a cup of hot coffee. In the busy morning, the lobby of the hostel was also an open restaurant. Although it was not big, it was decorated very warmly: steam pipes were winding on the brown wooden walls, spewing steam to humidify and heat the hall; behind the long wooden bar were four or five dining areas serving tourists. As long as you had the hostel's residence ticket, you could ask the teller for food at will.

For some reason, this atmosphere reminded Perlis of the small hotel on the Wanren Mountain. Although the "Steam Pipe" was better than that small hotel in terms of service and facilities, it was slightly inferior in terms of atmosphere.

"There are only three days left, it feels like it's going by so fast," Carly fiddled with the little blue dots floating in the air and communicated with them, "I have to get up early that morning to go to the port to take the skyboat. Fortunately, it's a sunny day, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome on the way there."

For some reason, when she heard that it would not rain, Perlis felt a little sad. She loved rain very much, and she would be very motivated as long as it rained.

"We've waited long enough," Perlis said softly, "It would be nice if it could be over soon."

"Don't worry, everything will go well," Carly patted Perlis' back gently, "I've contacted Lian, and she agreed to let me borrow her laboratory. It will probably be available tomorrow afternoon."

"Lian also has a laboratory in Lavis?" Perlis raised her eyes and looked at Carly, "I thought she only stayed in Wezel."

"Come on, she said there are too many people in Renweisel recently and she was very anxious, so she came to Lavis." Carly smiled softly, "Actually, I think... Lavis is similar. After all, it's a competition, and people from all over the world are flocking here."

"Her and Aoi's personalities are completely different," Perlis silently lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, "even though they are sisters."

"It's normal for sisters to have completely opposite personalities. I feel like you would get along better with her?"

"No, I don't play with them."

"Then you can take this opportunity to communicate with her more, after all..."

"No."

"Whatever you say, 'Super Difficult Ms. Perlis'," Carly leaned back on the soft sofa in boredom, rubbing her neck slightly, "But, since it's a [competition], even Aoi would feel very anxious... Otherwise, why would she choose to leave the Federation at this point in time? If you ask me, actually..."

At this moment, a strange voice interrupted Carly's words——

"Excuse me, are you guys talking about... the [competition]?"

Carly and Pearlis looked up at the same time, only Pace still had his head buried in the newspaper. Their eyes were focused on the person who was talking to them: this was a teenager, dressed like a newspaper boy, with an awkward face.

From his deep blue eyes, Perlis seemed to see something she had forgotten.

"My name is Kemp Li. If it's convenient, can you... talk to me?"

......

1) Rain Addict (Part 2)

Looking at the young man who suddenly appeared, Perlis frowned slightly.

She didn't like talking to strangers, and the sight of a little newsboy made her instinctively think of the "child spies" in federal legends, instantly arousing her defensive psychology.

I didn’t hear it...As long as he pretends not to hear it, he will be the one who is embarrassed!
