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

This is a reward for assisting in the experiment, not a concern for her... This is what Perlis thought in her heart.

"Thank you," Aoi took the water from Perlis, drank two gulps, and sighed, "But let's do the same thing when we go down the mountain."

"Why?" Perlis asked in confusion.

"Challenges are always interesting." Although Aoi looked weak, her brown eyes unexpectedly lit up. "If I can get used to your strength, maybe we can cooperate with each other in unexpected ways in the future."

Unexpectedly, she worked very hard, even though she was already so strong. Perlis stared at Aoi's face indifferently for a while, then nodded slightly:

"I see."

"Yeah, thank you cute little pure white~"

Aoi reached out to pinch Perlis's face, but the latter ruthlessly dodged her hand, so she just smiled gently.

"You and Carly don't seem to like others touching you."

"..."

Instead of answering Aoi's words, Perlis turned around, walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked at the horizon.

The gray fog in the early morning has dissipated. At this moment, the sea is sparkling in the sun. The bleak atmosphere has dissipated, and it looks full of vitality and fascinating.

However, no matter how hard Perlis searched on the horizon, she could not see the shadow of the hazy black island.

Can it only be seen at a specific time? Perlis thought about it and realized that the last time she saw the black island was in the early morning.

Early morning...gray fog...is this a prerequisite for being able to see the Black Island?

"Well..."

While Perlis was thinking, Aoi walked up to her, looked at the horizon and said:

"In fact, what Inmotalus saw was not only in Deira. Whether it was I-Tran, Thebite, or the coastal areas of the Federation, there were legends of 'strange black islands on the ocean'."

There are... all over the world? Perlis turned around and asked Aoi;

"Is there any conclusive evidence?"

"No," Aoi waved her hand helplessly, "The only place where you can stably see Kuroshima is in the Dila Sea, and only at certain times... You probably noticed, it's every morning."

An island that only appears in the early morning... It has been seen all over the world... but it is unstable...

This is very counterintuitive. Logically, shouldn't it be hard to see clearly when there is fog, and only when the line of sight is clear can it be seen clearly? How come this island is the other way around...

Perlis thought about it for a moment, then gave up decisively. Without enough clues, thinking was too tiring.

She looked around, found a pile of rubble, and then hesitantly took out the red stone that once belonged to the Silent One.

Should this redstone really be used?

"call..."

Perlis sighed softly, then poured strong factor energy into it and buried it in the rubble.

There is no time to feel compassion now. We must make full use of all the resources at our disposal and be decisive.

When you can find a replacement later, bury this redstone...properly.

"..."

After doing all this, Perlis looked towards the shallows in front of her and saw the workers working in the shallow sea area in the distance.

They walked on the sea water, constantly bending down and reaching their hands into the sea, looking for blue crystals in the sand and rubble on the seabed.

Near them, a makeshift and shabby factory was stranded on the shallows, with bursts of black and blue gas belching out of its chimney and pollution being discharged into the sea.

This small scene of the cliff and shallow beach was destroyed in an instant... Perlis complained inwardly, then turned around and stretched out her hand to Aoi:

"Let's go."

3) Ocean currents and tides (Part 5)

"Okay," Aoi was about to take Perlis's hand, but then hesitated and took a deep breath, "Wait for me."

After saying this, the tips of Aoi's hair took on a crimson tint, and her eyes turned pure gold, shining brightly.

Then she held Pearlis's hand and nodded seriously.

Good effort... Perlis gave a thumbs up in her heart, then took out her butterfly knife and slashed it at the air -

"bass--"

She and Aoi entered the crimson rift at the same time, and traveled all the way to the pile of rocks where the red stone was buried before.

"Om-"

The rift opened, and Perlis and Aoi jumped out at the same time, standing firmly on the ground.

After landing this time, Aoi's pupils just trembled slightly, and he didn't threaten to die like last time.

"Huh... I feel much better, but I still feel so uncomfortable..." Aoi glanced at Perlis' expressionless face and suddenly sighed, "Junbai, you have a really good body."

"..."

Perlis ignored Aoi and dug out a red stone from the pile of rocks and threw it into her pocket.

Next, the two of them went to the Vo1d crystal factory they had seen on the cliff before, preparing to find out some information about Inmotoros from there.

......

Near the factory not far from the shallows, countless workers were wading through waves, bending over and fiddling with stone pestles in the water, just like fishermen following the tide.

From time to time, a small piece of azure crystal embedded in gray stone would jump out from the sea water with a strong fishy and salty smell. They would throw the crystals into the basket behind them and continue searching.

On the sea in the distance, rafts drifted with the waves. Every once in a while, a fisherman carrying a pickaxe would dive into the water. After a while, he would return to the raft with a basket of crystal ore, take a short rest, and then start the next round of mining.

This is a crystal mineral deposit in the Dila Sea. The ore in the shallows is easy to pick up, but it is very small. The relatively deeper shallow sea deposits are relatively abundant, but have very strict requirements on the water ability of the miners.

Looking at the busy workers on the beach, Perlis's face was calm, but she spoke in a low voice with a hint of complaint:

"The efficiency is so low...Are there no more advanced mining tools?"

"There are some modern mining factories, but most of them are concentrated in the Donglin Island area," said Aoi, who was standing next to Perlis. "In more remote areas like Xilin Island, most factory owners will directly use cheap labor and shallow shoal mineral deposits to maximize their profits in order to save costs."

But in this case... the probability of suffering from crystal wrist inflammation will be higher... Perlis looked silently at an old man working in the shallows. Blue crystals mixed with blood were faintly visible on his wrist, but he still kept searching among the rocks under the water, his old face expressionless.

What could Perlis do? Help them? No, she was still confused about her own future.

"How about we go ask the workers on the beach?" Aoi pointed at the crowds of people in the distance, "Are you afraid they won't be willing to answer?"

"Just trade with them," Perlis glanced at Aoi's pocket, "You have money, right?"

"Yes, I exchanged a lot of Dila Yuan before I came here," Aoi smiled and showed Perlis the piles of banknotes in her wallet, "After all, Dila's delicious food..."

Well... since you said so, I'll let you spend the money... Seeing Aoi talking nonsense again, Perlis nodded slightly and walked towards the workers on the shallows.

When the shuttle crashed, Perlis only took out a few unburned federal gold coins from the locker on the shuttle. This hard currency, which is higher than the Federal Reserve currency, should not be used casually - although Perlis had already exchanged one of them for wine.

She made up her mind again not to drink...Perlis clenched her fists imperceptibly and walked to a group of workers.

At this moment, a group of workers were gathered on the shore, looking at something on the sea. When Perlis walked behind them, she naturally heard their conversation:

"Is that Yamamoto?"

"Yeah...it's been ten minutes and the rope hasn't moved..."

"Should we call the shogun?"

"It's not necessary... the boss will blame me..."

"So just leave him in the sea?"

"No, but...what if we get attacked by a shark?"

"No one can take care of it anymore. Let's go. The sun is getting hot. Let's finish work as soon as possible..."

"..."

A group of workers stood together on the shallows, looking at the sea, just talking without any movement.

Following their line of sight, Perlis caught a glimpse of an empty raft: the rope next to the raft was directly connected to the miners in the sea, but at this moment it was motionless and silent.

Someone got into trouble in the sea...? Perlis subconsciously stepped forward, ready to ask about the situation, when she saw a shadow flash by -

"Hold it for me!"

Perlis subconsciously grabbed Aoi's coat.

"Eh?"

She looked again and saw a red shadow suddenly plunged into the sea, creating a wave -

"Plop~"

The workers watching the scene immediately started to discuss. They pointed at the waves that spread out after Aoi dived into the sea, as if they had never seen such a stupid person:

"New here? Are you not afraid of death?"

"Who cares...she's just bored...it's her own fault..."

"That's a little girl, right? Don't you need to help her?"

"No need...you'll probably get bit by a shark..."

It would be fine if they didn't help, but how could they talk like that...Perlis felt a little angry and suddenly disliked these fishermen.

At this time, white mist rose from the water surface, followed by faint bubbles.

Before the workers could comment on this phenomenon, a red shadow suddenly rose out of the white mist.

"Bam—"

The hot air in the white mist lifted the girl up into the air. In her arms was a dying boy. Both of them were soaked.

Seeing this scene, all the workers immediately dispersed dozens of meters, fearing that they would get into trouble.

Aoi immediately landed on the empty shallows, put the boy on the ground, and then placed one hand on the boy's chest.

"call..."

Aoi exhaled gently, and heat burst out from her eyes, which emitted a faint golden light and passed through Aoi's arm into the boy's body.

In the blink of an eye, the boy's cold body gradually warmed up. He choked on a mouthful of water and then started coughing violently.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

When the boy's blurry vision gradually became clear, the first thing he saw was a pair of golden eyes and chestnut hair with red at the ends.

"Cough... cough cough cough..." The young man coughed violently and subconsciously tried to sit up, "You...you..."

"Don't worry, it's okay..."

Aoi comforted the boy briskly, pressing him gently into the shallows with her hands, signaling him to rest.

After confirming that he was okay, Aoi stood up and casually tossed her wet hair. The high temperature bursting out of her body gradually evaporated all the water stains on her body into white steam.

She looked around at the workers who were watching, and faced their looks that were partly of surprise and partly of fear, and asked with a smile and a brisk voice:

"Excuse me, can someone take me to see your boss?"

.......

3) Ocean currents and tides (Part 6)

"How daring... What if there's a shark?"

At the door of an office in the factory, Perlis threw the coat back to Aoi and muttered softly.

"Oh, maybe the shark couldn't bite you, so it just threw you away... sharks don't eat you..."

"Pfft, there's no shark there," Aoi smiled softly, put on her coat casually, put one hand on her waist and said, "He's entangled in the seaweed. Poor kid, this is probably his first time doing this kind of work."

The boy named Yamamoto was almost an adult, and he looked like he had never experienced any storms, and he was indeed quite immature... Perlis recalled Yamamoto's face. A few minutes ago, Aoi and she took the child who almost lost his life to the factory's infirmary and handed him over to the doctor.

"Those workers didn't even try to rescue us..." Perlis frowned her delicate eyebrows and lowered her head slightly, obviously not liking what the workers did.

"After all, it's not easy for them. Working in a mine like this is basically equivalent to chronic suicide. They can't even protect themselves," Aoi waved her hand helplessly. "Under this premise, it's hard to judge whether their behavior is right or wrong."

Perlis did not refute Aoi. She also tried to put herself in her shoes, so she did not say any accusatory words.

She just felt powerless.

"..."
