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

"Then, when you met Ivar in the forest, some of my guesses were confirmed: As a scavenger, Ivar's mission was to eliminate the troubles designated by the Federation in the competition... If I'm not mistaken, Itrisna Lanstar, the only heir to the big company, would be one of Ivar's targets. If she died, the Federation could directly take over all the assets of Lanstar Industries and turn them into federal state-owned enterprises."

"But when Ivar saw you, he could have killed you right away, but he didn't. This was completely contrary to his original motive, as if..."

"It's as if he is luring me to the top of the Tower of Babel..." Perlis said softly.

For a moment, Perlis recalled what Ivar had said in the clearing in the forest:

"Or you... not now..."

What does that mean? Ivar isn't the one waiting for me?

What does "not now" mean? Will there be a moment when Perlis will no longer be herself?

As she was thinking, Perlis suddenly recalled what Ivar had said to her in the iron prison of Wanren Mountain:

"You know what? You look a lot like Edward... and even her..."

"It's not you... I'm so disappointed..."

The moment everything came together like a puzzle, Perlis realized something she had never noticed before.

It seems that Ivar's purpose is not simply to duel with Perlis on the top of the Tower of Babel. If he wants to get rid of Perlis, he doesn't need to take any detours - as long as he doesn't take action on Wanren Mountain, Perlis would have died under the executioner's axe.

In addition to Perlis, Ivar has been referring to someone else, the "she".

Who is she?

In an instant, a picture appeared in Perlis's mind, a picture that kept repeating in her dreams:

That vast sea of ​​flowers and the girl standing in that sea of ​​flowers.

She has long pure white hair that reaches her waist and a pair of blood-red eyes.

Is it her? Who is she? Why has Ivar been looking for her? What is his relationship with her?

"..."

Seeing that Perlis had fallen silent, Carly quickly stated her conclusion:

"I think the reason we have such a smooth journey is because Ivar has been cleaning up all the contestants who try to approach us, and his purpose is to get you to the Tower of Babel."

"And if everyone who enters the tower's base dies, then our team's three dog tags are destined to allow only one person to reach the top of the Tower of Babel."

"There...I'm afraid there's something fishy going on there."

Carly and Perlis looked at each other, and when this part of the truth surfaced, they seemed to see a huge shadow floating slightly underwater.

Laplace...what on earth is he planning...

Before Perlis and Carly could figure out what to do next, suddenly, there was a crisp applause not far from them:

"Not bad, not bad, as expected of Miss Carly Fellowes, the logic is clear... well-reasoned..."

The voice was so familiar, elegant yet a little cunning, so familiar that Perlis instantly drew out the silver blade and pointed it behind her.

There, Aloi Aziz was standing with a big smile on his face.

......

9) The Top of the Tower of Babel (Part 2)

Sure enough, Aloi was still alive.

Seeing Aloi Aziz's annoying face, Perlis subconsciously prepared to engage the enemy, and an arc of electricity burst out from the blade of the butterfly knife.

However, Aloi was not panicked at all, and the smile on his face did not change at all. He turned his hand, and a dog tag appeared in his hand. Then, he lightly snapped his fingers, and a faint blue flame ignited at his fingertips.

"Think before you act, Miss Perlis (Wilkin's words)," Aloi said in a voice that was no different from before, "If I fall, this dog tag will instantly turn to ashes in the flames of the energy."

"So?" Perlis said coldly, "What does this have to do with me?"

"No, little white flower, you can't touch him."

Before Aloi could answer, Carly stopped Perlis with her hand, with Aloi's smile reflected in her icy blue eyes.

"Why?" Perlis was very surprised.

"Because, if I'm not mistaken, that's the last dog tag on the field."

The moment Carly finished speaking, Aloi laughed softly, his red-gold eyes narrowed slightly.

"Very smart, Carly Fellowes. You have a brain that matches your title. Although most of the time you are not rational enough, you still did not lose your temper at the critical moment. This makes me feel relieved."

"Oh? Do you think I'm rare?" Carly said disdainfully. She waved her hand and a blue light appeared in the air. "So, what do you want to say?"

Just now, Aloi's appearance was like the last piece of the puzzle that confirmed everything, making Carly sure of her guess.

The reason why the little bird had not previously detected the contestants throughout the tower base was very simple:

All are dead.

The person who did it was either Ivar or Aloi.

From Ivar's point of view, if his goal was to allow Perlis to climb the Tower of Babel, he would need to clear all obstacles on Perlis's way so that when she reached the base of the tower, only three members of Perlis's team would be left in the entire venue.

The conditions for climbing up the Tower of Babel from the pedestal are simple: a dog tag of your own and a dog tag of someone else.

As a result, when the three members of Perlis's team reached the base of the tower, the three dog tags in their hands were only enough for one person to climb the Tower of Babel.

And that person must be Perlis Havrgard, Ivar's target.

However, what Ivar didn't realize was that Wilkin's serpent had come out to mess things up in this place.

"Hahaha, you are so impatient, Miss Carly..."

Aloi smiled softly, his red-gold eyes became sharp and scanned around.

"Where is the Thebiter? I don't see any trace of him..."

When Pace was mentioned, Perlis' heart trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

"He stayed in the Weird Forest and fought a life-and-death battle with your guards," Perlis said calmly, "I thought you knew."

"Is Fang still alive?" Aloi raised his eyebrows. "I thought he died by the creek..."

It turned out that it wasn't Aloi who asked Balza to stop them at the last minute? Perlis and Carly looked at each other at the same time, somewhat puzzled.

Because, that guy kept saying "the prince's order", and it seemed like he was loyal to Aloi's orders.

"It's just a small change. It won't affect our transaction."

Aloi said nonchalantly, his red-gold eyes greedily scanning Perlis's face.

"Deal?" Perlis raised her eyebrows slightly, "What deal?"

"It's very simple, Miss Pearlis..."

Aloi stretched out his hand and lowered the dog tag slightly - the dog tag began to emit a faint red light when it entered the base of the tower, which was a symbol of promotion.

"Originally, if that Thebit man was still here, I would have provided you with a dog tag so that both of you could climb the Tower of Babel. But since he didn't make it here, this dog tag will allow one of you to climb the Tower of Babel while the other one has a chance to leave in the escape pod..."

"I can assure you that, including those who slipped through the net, there are only three of us at the base of the tower now. In other words, if you don't accept my deal, you only have two choices: either use two dog tags to leave the competition together, or one of you climbs up the Tower of Babel, and the other stays at the base of the tower and waits to die..."

A proud light like that of a hunter appeared in his red-gold eyes, as if he had succeeded at this moment.

After hearing what Aloi said, Perlis frowned slightly. She looked at Carly and found that the latter had the same expression.

If there were indeed only three people left at the base of the entire tower, then what Aloi said was absolutely correct.

According to Carly's wide-area search when she entered the tower base, there was indeed no one in the entire venue. Considering that the little bird by the stream did not detect the [Veil] before, it is possible that some fish that slipped through the net hid in the tower base in a special way to avoid the little bird's sight.

However, now Aloi has appeared in front of Perlis and Carly. If they choose to search the entire tower base, they will miss the transaction with Aloi, and the tolerance rate is extremely low. Moreover, once there is really no one in the entire tower base, they will have no way out.

In this case, it seems that the only way left is to trade with Aloi.

The Viper's trick was indeed simple and disgusting...Looking at Aloi's face, Perlis' heart was filled with disgust.

"..."

After a brief confrontation with the red-gold eyes, Perlis spoke softly:

"So, what do you want?"

"Well... it's very simple..."

The red-gold eyes swept over Perlis's body, and finally stopped at her blood-red eyes.

"I want...your blood..."

After saying that, Aloi conjured up a glass test tube in his hand like a magic trick and threw it to Pearlis.

Pearlis took the glass test tube and quickly estimated the capacity, which was probably around 100 milliliters.

"This blood will not make you lose the strength to fight on the top of the Tower of Babel, and the price you pay is that Miss Carly can successfully escape from the base of the tower. How about that?"

Blood? His own blood again... Why is he interested in his own blood? Some crazy and perverted fetish?

Recalling that the Great Prophet Zachamos Arichi had also drawn his own blood and said in a very intoxicated tone such strange words as "blood of the gods", Perlis couldn't help but feel her stomach shrinking in pain.

What's wrong with them? What's so special about my blood?

Could it be... related to the faint lines on the Tower of Babel? Or to the sea of ​​flowers?

Polys closed her eyes gently, temporarily shutting all her complicated thoughts into the small black box of the alarm clock, and immersed her heart.

Now is not the time to think about these things. There are more important things right now.

Perlis took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, there was a thin mist in her bloodshot eyes.

"I accept your deal, Aloi Aziz."

......

9) The Top of the Tower of Babel (Part 3)

After accepting Aloi's deal, Perlis did not hesitate any longer, but stretched out her fair and smooth left wrist, and then used her right hand to control the silver blade and lightly scratched it -

"Well.."

The sharp silver blade cut a small cut on Perlis' wrist. The burning sensation of the strong factor energy made Perlis groan in pain, but even so, she did not show the pain. Instead, she calmly placed her wrist above the glass bottle and let her blood fill the bottle.

Then, she put the cork back into the bottle and quickly threw the bottle to Aloi, not paying any attention to the wrist that was still bleeding.

"Hmm.. smart choice."

Aloi placed the bottle of Perlis's blood under the black cloud, looked at the bright red color, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Then he threw the dog tag to Pearlis, who caught it with a wave of her hand.

"And then, Prince Aloi?" Perlis looked at Aloi's satisfied expression coldly, "Are you just going to wait for your end at the base of the tower with my blood?"

According to Aloi Aziz, there were only three people left at the base of the tower, so there was naturally no way for him to leave after losing his dog tags.

Hearing what Perlis said, Aloi smiled again, which made her look very annoying, and said:

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Perlis, but please remember that the venomous snake will always find his way out..."

Aloi bowed slightly to Perlis, his red-gold eyes gleaming with pride.

"Good luck... The last of Hafgard..."

After saying that, a red light suddenly appeared around Aloi, stirring up a little smoke, forcing Perlis and Carly to cover their eyes.

When the smoke cleared, Aloi Aziz was nowhere to be seen. The only sounds left on the site at the base of the tower were the sound of the wind and the faint roar of the lava river rolling not far away.

......

After getting the dog tag, Perlis turned around and looked at Carly.

Carly also looked at Perlis, her ice-blue eyes filled with worry.

Three dog tags mean that only one person can go up to the Tower of Babel, and the other person must leave.

"Carly..." Perlis found it difficult to speak, "You..."

"It's not over yet! What if Aloy is lying to us? Right?"

Carly smiled and pointed to the distance. Polys looked over and found that it was a wisp of black smoke.

"If the escape pod is destroyed, there must be contestants nearby. They might even have dog tags on them. If I can find the dog tags from them, I can go up to the Tower of Babel with you and help you, right?"

Hearing what Carly said, Perlis was slightly stunned and her heart sank.

She knew that what Carly described was absolutely impossible.
