Listening to what Laplace said, Perlis was slightly stunned, and it seemed that countless images flashed through her mind.

Edward always asked her to stay in Wilkin's mansion, try not to go out, and not have too much contact with the outside world.

Except for occasionally having to go out for a long time, he always stayed at home and accompanied her, as if this little girl was the only thing in his life.

Was he planning to... distance himself from Laplace?

"..."

After a brief silence, Perlis spoke coldly:

"Then, you broke your contract with him."

"Broken? No... hehe... he was killed by Ivar and lost the ability to watch over you as you grew up. He was the one who broke the contract."

"It was you who sent Ivar." Perlis said coldly.

"Ivar the one I sent? Oh, my lovely...little flower? Ivar likes to call you that? You misunderstood...that was never my intention..."

"That was Ivar's choice."

Epilogue) People in the Game (Part 2)

Hearing Laplace's words, Perlis' pupils shrank slightly, and this brief surprise was quickly captured by those silver eyes.

Seeing this, he smiled kindly and said calmly:

"If you let me do it, I will directly overclock the core of the Tower of Babel and let the red thunder directly devour my pathetic second son. Then, your fate will be taken over by me personally, and then... Believe me, if that happens, your life will be much more miserable than it is now."

"This was my original plan, but Ivar volunteered to control your fate... So, he personally shot Edward von Valantia in the chest, hoping to use this as a means to gain custody of you..."

"Oh, by the way, Ivar wanted to use relatively strong means against you, but when he saw you at the funeral... he seemed to lose his resolve..."

As Laplace spoke, the conversation in the icy rain emerged in Perlis' mind:

"But she's so young... Are you sure?"

"She'll grow up, won't she?"

In the dim light, Perlis saw the pair of green eyes in the icy rain, and the complex emotions mixed in them.

"Why?" Perlis asked softly, as if questioning Laplace, or as if questioning the pair of green eyes behind the ice rain.

Seeing this, Laplace's unfathomable silver eyes flickered slightly, but his expression remained kind.

"Perhaps, it's because he thought of an old acquaintance..."

The corners of the old man's mouth curved slightly, as if everything in front of him was a drama on his chessboard.

"Let's move on to the next question."

Laplace's voice remained the same as always, always carrying that calmness that made him look intimidating without even getting angry.

Sure enough, this old guy only spoke half of every sentence, and it was impossible to get the whole truth from him.

The cunning old fox is difficult to deal with.

"..."

There was no change in the expression on Perlis's face. She thought for a moment and then spoke softly:

"Second question, who is Harilalee?"

"Ah... You seem to have found the solution to the problem and grasped its key points, right?" Laplace clapped his hands lightly, expressing his amazement. "In that case, I will answer you truthfully..."

"She is the Daystar, Halilari Havrgard, a member of the Ivory family, and an arbitrator from the Higheaven."

"And, in human terms, you could call her a mother."

The moment she heard the word "mother", Perlis felt something in her mind tremble slightly, as if a missing puzzle piece was fitted.

Whether it was the words "daytime stars", "tusk of the elephant" or "high heaven", all of them were thrown behind Perlis' mind in an instant and ignored.

She only heard the last two words of Laplace's words, "Mother".

Mother... the mother that my father never mentioned...

She has always been there, above the sea of ​​flowers, looking at herself quietly and smilingly.

Where did she go? Why didn't she meet me in real life?

Perlis pursed her lips slightly, and then continued:

"Where is she?"

"That's not the answer to this question," Laplace smiled softly. "One last question. Ask it."

Oh, are you so anxious to die?

Perlis glanced at Laplace coldly and gently turned the butterfly knife.

She did not ask the question "Where is Harilalli?" She knew that if she wanted to get as much valuable information out of Laplace, she needed to explore the source of the problem.

For example, Halle Lali's disappearance was obviously related to the experience of Edward, Ivar, and Aleph across the sea many years ago, which directly led to her adoption by Edward and Ivar's betrayal.

So, if you want to find a clue to all of this, it must be...

Perlis closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them, halos of light flickered in her bloodshot eyes.

"The last question is, what is the reason that lured me to the Tower of Babel?"

"Well...you asked another great question."

Facing the halo in Perlis's bloodshot eyes, Laplace lowered his head slightly, then gently opened his arms.

Then, his always kind and mature aura disappeared in an instant, and a hint of madness appeared around him:

"Why don't you see for yourself?"

The next second, Perlis suddenly felt a violent wave coming from above her head - it was the core of the Tower of Babel!

Then, uncontrollably, Perlis heard the whispers floating into her ears.

And this time, she heard the clearest voice among the whispers:

"Immotalos...Immotalos...Immotalos...Immotalos..."

There is a problem... There must be a problem...

Perlis opened her bloodshot eyes, and she subconsciously manipulated the Factor Energy Bracelet, wanting to rush directly to Laplace and put an end to his actions.

However, the imagined factor potential energy disappeared. When Perlis turned her head, she found that her factor energy bracelet was motionless and did not rotate at all.

Can the factors from all around... be absorbed completely?

A halo lit up in Perlis's eyes, and she looked around with her factor vision, only to find that since some time ago, countless factor energies had been gathering towards the ceiling.

From the moment he entered the room... no, from the moment he ended the duel with Ivar, Laplace had been deliberately reducing the amount of factor energy in the area near the peak of the Tower of Babel! If he had just started absorbing it, there was no reason why there would be no factor energy left so quickly!

He deliberately maintained a relative number of factor energies in the corridor where Perlis came from, allowing Perlis to drive the power of the factors and thus lower her vigilance.

The old fellow who had laid thousands of miles of wires...sat in the center of his spider web, calculating the exact length of each string.

Perlis frowned slightly, but even so, she didn't think it was a big deal.

Laplace was just a mortal, and I could kill him even with just a butterfly knife.

Without thinking any more, Perlis suddenly kicked her foot and stabbed Laplace with her silver blade.

"bass--"

Just when Perlis was about to succeed, Laplace suddenly tilted his head, and the silver blade brushed past his cheek, splashing a little blood.

At the same time, the eyepatch on Laplace's face was also cut off, revealing the eye that had been covered.

It was a blood-red eye.

"What..?"

The moment she looked into those bloodshot eyes, a picture subconsciously flashed through Perlis's mind.

That's what she found in Edward's old house...a blood-red eyeball floating in a glass bottle.

He...he transplanted that eyeball onto his own body?

Is he crazy?

Epilogue) People in the Game (Part 3)

In just a moment, Laplace seemed to sense Perlis's surprise and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Perlis Havrgard, you have been on my chessboard for a long time."

Immediately, Laplace swung his fist at Perlis at a speed that an old man could not possibly achieve.

"boom--"

A huge airflow burst out, and Perlis blocked it with her silver blade, but was still knocked back several steps.

At this moment, she did not have the factor shield, so the blow with great force caused her ribs to hurt slightly.

His power...why? How is it possible?

Perlis frowned slightly and found that things were not simple.

Just as she was about to attack Laplace again, she found that her limbs suddenly became weak.

"Well!"

Perlis froze in place, and then she heard a voice behind her:

"The letter has been delivered, Miss Pearlis, please read it."

It is the last one of [Blade of Babel], [Black Cape] Mercury.

At this moment, Perlis belatedly noticed a slight pain in her neck. Even without looking, she knew that it was something like a paralyzing needle.

When is it

Perlis glanced, the halo in her bloodshot eyes lit up, and red arcs of electricity burst out from her body surface, and the paralyzing needle that had pierced into her body was directly bounced out.

【Black Cape】Mercury is no match for him, but if he fights with him, Laplace will have the opportunity to make more moves.

Let’s deal with Laplace first!

After making a quick decision, Perlis ignored Mercury and used her paralyzed limbs to run towards Laplace.

However, before she could run two steps, she saw a huge figure standing in front of Laplace. He was wearing a modular steel helmet that covered his eyes, and his waistline was larger than three Perlis. He was wearing iron armor, and two factor energy shields were deployed on his steel arm guards.

It is the eleventh seat of [Blade of the Tower of Babel], [Giant Warrior] White Peng Falcon.

"Long time no see! Bai Yan!" Bai Peng Falcon roared, half of his face under the helmet showing a big laugh, "But, there's no time to get together today (Dila language)!"

After saying that, Bai Peng Falcon suddenly straightened his waist, and then mercilessly smashed the two rock-like factor energy shields onto the floor of the final control room, and the shock wave burst out -

"boom--"

Perlis was shocked and took two steps back. Before she could recover, her killing intent suddenly lit up, causing her to turn around quickly and swing -

"clang--"

The silver blade blocked the sudden attack from the back launched by [Black Coat] Mercury, but Perlis had no intention of holding back. The halo in her eyes lit up, and she swung again fiercely -

"Kacha——"

Mercury's factor shield exploded, and his arms were briefly bent, revealing a flaw.

Then, a red line quietly appeared on Mercury's black dagger——

"bass--"

With a swing of the silver blade and a flash of red light, Mercury's blade broke. The huge impact force also made him retreat backwards, giving Perlis the opportunity to pursue the victory.

In response, Perlis concentrated her attention, slowed down the time before her eyes, then locked onto Mercury's neck at that moment and stabbed out with the silver blade.

However, just as Perlis's silver blade was about to pierce Mercury's unprotected throat, some irresistible force in the air intercepted her silver blade.

She only felt that the silver blade was facing a soft but insurmountable wall of position. The tip of the blade was just a little bit away from touching Mercury's throat, but when it reached the limit, it suddenly bounced her back -

"Well.."

Perlis staggered to a stop, and when she looked up again, she found a figure in a dark green dress hanging upside down on the ceiling, with a pair of sunglasses on the face with a broad jaw.

That is the ninth seat of [Blade of Babel], [Blackwater Scholar] Zu Chumen.
