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

Maybe it was because of the mention of Carly, but Perlis frowned slightly and came to her senses. Her blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, a little blurry.

She seemed to be trying to identify the person in front of her. Her blood-red eyes and black eyes stared at each other for a while before she recognized Pace:

"Young Master..."

Perlis's voice was soft and gentle, totally different from her usual cold and indifferent tone.

"You're here..."

"..."

For some reason, when he heard Perlis's weak voice, the anger in Pace's heart faded away quietly. He had planned to teach her a lesson, at least to give her a warning to prevent her from making trouble in the next competition.

But just as the scolding was about to come out of his mouth, Pace was suddenly unable to say anything: there was some sadness on Pearlis's face, as if she had experienced something that made her feel very sad.

Pace could relate to that expression, and he recalled the day when he left the fireplace.

She must have been sad not to have caught up with Ivar.

Pace couldn't bear to scold her.

But if I don't scold her, her behavior will be too extreme.

"Ugh..."

In the woods, Pace sighed softly, then used his hands to brush away the dead leaves from Pearlis' hair.

He raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky, feeling helpless.

"What do you want me to do with you, little princess?"

Pace lowered his head and found that Perlis had closed her eyes peacefully and was sleeping defenselessly in Pace's arms.

This difficult sister finally accepted him, Pace suddenly felt emotional. Thinking back to the days when they were still walking together on Wanren Mountain, Pace could not connect the lonely little white-haired boy with the girl in his arms now.

Forget it, let her be willful for once. A brother has to give in to his sister.

So now, let's go back to Miss Carly.

Thinking so, Pace stood up, holding Perlis and prepared to carry her back to find Carly.

But before he could shoot out the factor energy hook, a blue light flew in from the woods.

It's a little bird! Pace quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards the blue light.

The little bird landed docilely on the back of Pace's hand, and then Carly's voice came from it:

"Is the little white flower okay?"

"I found her, she's fine," Pace said anxiously, "How about you? Miss Carly, you..."

"I'm fine. Balza has been dealt with. I'm on my way to meet you guys."

Pace looked into the forest and found that the network formed by the faint blue dots extended from the clearing in the forest to the woods. It seemed that Carly relied on the node network method to solve the interference of the energy storm on communication.

Since she has the mind to build this, it means that everything must be fine on her side.

"Then I'll wait for you here. There are basically no enemies on the road, but you still have to be careful."

"Got it, see you later."

After making sure everything was safe, Pace took a deep breath and sat down under a tree at the edge of the woods.

Looking at Perlis who was still unconscious in his arms, Pace raised his head and looked at the endless dark cloud of factor energy.

Red electric currents were flashing, and a factor energy storm was brewing in the sky.

"It won't be long."

Pace sighed, forced himself to be alert, looked around, and began to stand guard.

It seems that the plan to block Ivar in the Weird Forest is about to fail.

...END...

7) In the name of sin

In the forest, the boy ran desperately, trampling the ground full of branches. He held a broken shield in his hand, and it looked like he couldn't withstand a few more blows.

Behind him, violent roars came one after another -

"Om-"

"Om-"

The screams filled the air in the mist of the strange forest, but were made somewhat vague by the layers of trees, as if the screams were from another world.

Within the range of the roar, giant trees were torn apart and fell down one by one by some powerful external force. The fallen giant trees made the fog in the forest even thicker, and also drove the boy to run desperately.

"HAHAHAHAHA!! Hamster!! Hamster!!"

The sharp laughter sounded like a blunt knife amid the sound of cracking trees, rotating fiercely on the boy's eardrums. The dull pain made him want to cover his ears and just dig a hole in the spot and crawl into it.

But he didn't want to die yet, he had to escape.

The boy clutched the dog tag on his chest tightly and ran for his life.

If she catches up with me again, I will die.

Everyone will die.

Everyone.

......

"Well..."

Perlis gently opened her eyes and saw those ice-blue eyes.

For a moment, she wanted to close her eyes again and pretend that she was still asleep.

But before that, a pair of hands had already cupped her cheeks——

"Pur! Li! Si!"

"Eh!?"

Perlis shuddered, opened her eyes, and looked into the eyes in front of her.

There was no expression on Carly's face. She stared at Pearlis, her ice-blue eyes full of blame.

Oops... Oops, Carly actually called me by my name instead of Little White Flower...

If so, does that mean...

Is she angry?

Looking at Carly's expression, Perlis swallowed lightly and organized her words.

“That…that…”

"What should you say?"

What a cold voice! Perlis shuddered and then lowered her head.

"I'm sorry...I..."

"You don't learn your lesson again. Are you acting like an idiot?"

"Wrong, wrong! I won't do it again next time!"

Pearlis plucked up her courage, looked directly at Carly, and pursed her lips slightly.

"I thought.. that was Ivar..."

"So that's it?"

"No...no..." Perlis felt guilty.

"If we wait a little longer, can we figure this out?"

"Um..."

Perlis lowered her head in guilt, not daring to look at Carly. Although there were reasons for the incident, Perlis had to admit that her impatience was indeed a bit too much...

This is also considered as a stubborn habit, in every sense of the word.

"..."

Looking at the little white flower with a face full of "I did something wrong but there's nothing I can do about it", Carly sighed softly. She rubbed Perlis's cheek, then stood up and stretched out a hand to Perlis:

"Next time you do this, I'll make you serve as my pillow for a month. Do you hear me?"

"Um..."

In the clearing in the woods, Perlis grabbed the hand that Carly extended and stood up from the tree roots.

......

Afterwards, the group quickly exchanged thoughts about the time they had been apart.

First, the two guards of Aloi Aziz's team had been defeated: [Fang] Balza Durant, [Veil] Kamikaz Durasin. Although there were some near misses, the final result was good.

As for Prince Aloi himself, even though Perlis said that she had stabbed him in the vitals with the silver blade, Pace insisted that when he entered the clearing in the forest, Perlis was the only one there, and there was no trace of anyone else.

Therefore, the group assumed that Prince Aloi was still alive and could appear at any time and become a threat.

Then, Perlis told Carly and Pesce about her encounter with Ivar. When they knew that it was Ivar who fought with Aloi and protected Perlis, they were full of disbelief.

"Why?" This was Carly's first question after she opened her mouth. "Why would Ivar save you? If he had invited you to compete in a competition, wouldn't he have just gotten rid of you and Aloi together?"

"I don't know..." Perlis murmured, "but he seemed to say... not now?"

Why? Isn't now the time for the competition to begin? If not now, when?

Was it when he climbed the Tower of Babel? If so, why did it have to be at the Tower of Babel?

Perlis recalled the confrontation between Ivar and Prince Aloi. If she remembered correctly, Ivar mentioned another name at that time...

Is her name...Hali Lali?

"Well..."

Thinking of this name, a headache came over her. Perlis closed one eye slightly and covered her forehead.

In an instant, the sea of ​​flowers flashed before her eyes, with the graceful figure standing among them.

Halle Lali...is that the name of the girl in the sea of ​​flowers?

Who is she?

"..."

Looking at Perlis who was covering her head in thought, Carly sighed softly:

"There's no point in thinking about this now. The point is, if Ivar didn't plan to end up in the Weird Forest, then we wouldn't be able to find him now."

"Why?" Pace asked.

"Because it's less than five minutes from here to the base of the tower."

Carly unfolded the map of the forest. The longer she was in the forest, the more complete the birds' mapping of the forest became.

On the map she unfolded, the woodland was almost at the border of the forest, less than a kilometer away from the base of the tower.

"In that case, let's go directly to the base of the tower," Carly said helplessly, "But there's always been something wrong..."

"What's the matter?" Pace perfectly fulfilled the function of the questioning machine.

"There are too few people," Carly frowned. "Originally, the Weird Mist Forest is famous for its short-range combat, so it's normal not to encounter anyone during the whole process. But during the time when Xiaoxiaoniao was surveying, I found something very strange."

“There was hardly a soul on this side where we entered the forest.”

Carly waved her hand lightly, and the map was divided into a block, which included the entire area from the place where Perlis and her group entered and explored to the clearing in the woods and the stream.

"There are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that we are very lucky. The Itrisna Border intercepted most of the contestants who entered the forest from our side, and the others took a detour and did not enter from this side. This possibility exists, but it is definitely not the complete reason. After all, the terrain of the forest is complicated, and it is certain that we will encounter many people. It is not impossible that we will not meet anyone."

"The second possibility is that someone has created two isolation zones in the area near us, prohibiting anyone from entering."

As soon as Carly spoke, Ivar's figure flashed before Perlis' eyes.

Could it be that Ivar...

But why?

Pearlis raised her head, and she was almost certain that Carly and he had the same idea, and the two nodded as if they understood each other.
