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

She deliberately lowered her voice and acted mysteriously, as if she were really some mysterious inhuman species.

Oh no... So embarrassing... Perlis suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot and she almost wanted to turn around and jump into the cold sea.

But what she didn't expect was that after hearing this, Mei Xinghui suddenly let out a short exclamation:

“Haaaaaa…!”

The quiet civil servant lady covered her mouth, her violet eyes widening.

“You…you really…!”

"Shh...keep your voice down," Perlis put a finger in front of her mouth, "Don't let anyone hear."

“Ah… um…”

Mei Xinghui looked around in panic, then lowered her head and considered it seriously.

After a while, she raised her head and whispered to Perlis in a respectful tone:

"I...I can help you! But you are not allowed to tell anyone..."

Her tone even sounded a little pious to Perlis, so much so that Perlis subconsciously wanted to cover her face.

What on earth am I regarded as...something like the son of God who fell to earth?

"..."

After a brief silence, Perlis cleared her throat and then tried to put on a serious expression and said:

"I'll keep your secret, and you'll keep mine secret."

"Ok!"

Xinghui Mei agreed without hesitation, as if she was swearing an oath to God. Seeing this, Perlis's face became hot again, and she couldn't wait to return to the cabin and bury her head in the bed.

After organizing her words a little, Mei Xinghui stated very seriously:

"Inside the palace, beside His Majesty the Canghuang, there is a hidden guard."

"She has multiple identities and extremely powerful military force. She has resolved many assassinations launched against His Majesty Cang Huang after the academy war. She is like an invisible ghost."

Mei Xinghui spoke carefully and paused slightly.

Then, under Perlis's focused gaze, she said the name of the inner guard:

"That sir is called [Falling Cherry Blossom Sword], and his name is Ibuki Rin."

......

(Note 1: Also from the quotation: The Storyteller)

4) Gaze from the Abyss (Part 6)

When she heard Ibuki Rin's name, Perlis immediately felt the heat dissipate, and a cold wind suddenly swirled around her body, making her nervous.

She recalled the icy rain in front of the courtyard of Edward's old house, and the black-haired, red-eyed figure that knocked her out from behind.

Ibuki Rin...【Falling Cherry Blossom Sword】...【Blade of Babel】Second place?

And now, she has become Cang Huang's hidden inner guard? She can also manipulate the energy of the element? Is she also a member of Hafurgard?

But Ibuki Rin's hair is not white... Although her eyes are also bloodshot, but...

Wait...blood eyes!?

"..."

In an instant, something connected in Perlis's heart:

Ikan Geller displayed a lot of magical power that Perlis could not understand, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Laplace transplanted the blood-red eyeball that Perlis found in Edward's old house, and then gained strong physical fitness.

And now, according to Mei Hoshiki, Ibuki Rin, who also has bloodshot eyes, also has the power to manipulate factor energy.

Bloodshot eyes...are they a sign of some kind of power?

The energy extracted from the almost pure destructive factor is red...

After tearing open the space itself, the space that Perlis could travel through was red...

The purest Vo1d crystal, the strange patterns engraved on the Tower of Babel, and the words of the ancient divine language are also red...

Although there is a certain gap between the scarlet red and the pure red of the blood-red eyes, they are all very close and should not be a coincidence.

Blood eyes...perhaps they are a symbol of a certain group of people. According to the myths mentioned earlier by Mei Xinghui, those with blood eyes can use themselves as a medium to manipulate factor energy?

The reason why redstone has such a powerful factor energy driving force is because its own properties are similar to those of the Blood Eyes?

It seems that if I can go to Donglin Island, I need to meet that [Falling Cherry Blossom Blade]. Not only to find out the truth, but also to find out why she backstabbed me... and why Carly...

A series of thoughts flashed through Perlis's mind. She sighed softly and then spoke to Mei Xinghui in front of her:

"Thank you for the information, I will reward you."

"No, no need." Mei Xinghui closed her eyes and shook her head, "It's just... I have a small request."

"Well, go ahead." Perlis nodded slightly, "I'll try my best to make it happen."

After getting Perlis's promise, Mei Xinghui hesitated for a while. As a quiet archon, she usually didn't talk much, but now she was driven by her inner thirst for knowledge and desire to speak at length.

But she restrained herself. The quiet girl took a deep breath and then spoke seriously to Perlis:

"If possible, can you come to my room more often?"

"Eh...?"

Hearing Mei Xinghui's request, Perlis was startled and her lips slightly opened.

Seeing this, Xinghui Mei suddenly waved her hands in panic, and then spoke awkwardly:

"No... that's not what I meant! It has nothing to do with your real identity! What I meant is... if you have any news or discoveries, can you come to my room... um... share them with me! You know, I seldom leave my room. I usually read books and handle affairs alone in it, so..."

Mei Xinghui said the longest sentence she had ever said since she met Perlis. Her cheeks were slightly red, and she was completely different from the cold and aloof person that Perlis had first seen.

It feels like I am looking at myself from an outsider's perspective... Perlis smiled bitterly in her heart, then nodded slightly and said:

"I understand, Miss Mei."

Looking at Mei Xinghui's beautiful violet eyes, Perlis smiled gently and extended a hand towards her.

The quiet lady of the civil service was stunned for a moment, then she held Perlis's hand and shook it gently.

After that, she let go and walked towards the small restaurant on the upper deck:

"Come on, you haven't been to the small restaurant reserved for management staff before, right? I'll take you there. Although there's no scenery or fireworks on the deck, it's more hygienic..."

......

The small restaurant of the management is located in the high area of ​​the deck superstructure, only one level higher than the captain's room. Looking out from the restaurant, the sea is as if sprinkled with gold powder and has a beautiful halo, which makes Perlis feel extremely comfortable.

Of course, she would have been more comfortable if it hadn't been for the episode with Hitaro Mama in the morning.

I wonder what the crew will think of me after I beat up that artist who seemed to have some fame on the ship... Perlis muttered to herself, and then turned her attention back to the breakfast in front of her.

The breakfast was very light, a piece of steamed fish sprinkled with some seaweed, plus a bowl of miso soup. Compared with the fast-food-oriented food culture of the Akademi Federation, the food on the Dila Sea gave Perlis a sense of returning to nature, as if her taste buds had been purified.

"call..."

After drinking miso soup, Perlis finished her breakfast with Mei Xinghui. Mei said goodbye to Perlis and said she was going back to the cabin to handle daily affairs. Perlis went to the deck and decided to bask in the sun and take a look at the scenery on the sea.

"..."

The sun's rays made the wooden deck a little hot, and the atmosphere was very lively with the sailors coming and going. To Perlis's surprise, no one seemed to have any problem with her for teaching Mama Hitaro a lesson, perhaps because no one liked that guy, or perhaps because the affairs on the deck were complicated.

This suited Perlis very well.

When crossing the deck, Perlis met Shibata Kazuki who was shouting. When the first mate saw Perlis walking onto the deck, he immediately greeted her with a hearty smile:

"Ms. Perlis, I am sorry for offending you just now. That guy is a little abnormal, but he is not a bad person. Thank you for showing mercy. After all, in a duel in Dila, the winner has the right to deal with the loser."

"Hmm..." Perlis nodded slightly, "How is he?"

"It's not a big deal, thanks to your mercy, it's just a broken wrist," Shibata Kazuki laughed, "The explosion of the pistol shocked his brain, but he's awake now, still a little dazed, but he's already started reciting poetry."

Hmm...it seems that he accepted the explanation of "the pistol exploded"...Pollis looked at Shibata and Xina's cheerful but not silly faces, and fully affirmed the emotional intelligence of this first mate.

However, it is a pity that the so-called "artist" can actually recite poetry...

"..."

Seeing that Perlis didn't say anything, Shibata Kazuki nodded slightly and then smiled brightly:

"That's it for now, Miss Perlis. I won't disturb your early morning time."

"Yeah." Perlis nodded and walked past Shibata Kazuki.

She hadn't taken a few steps when she heard Shibata and Xi add:

"However, if there is a chance, I still hope to fight with you."

"In the name of the shogunate samurai."

The voice of the first mate Shibata Kazuki became much more serious. Without looking back, Perlis knew that his hearty smile must have faded a little.

This is reasonable. As the first mate, he still wants to stand up for his crew, even if it is for a guy like Hitaro Mama.

"..."

Perlis didn't look back, but just nodded slightly:

"it is good."

Then she walked along the deck to the bow and looked out at the sea beside the "Blue Reef" statue.

......

4) Gaze from the Abyss (Part 7)

It was noon, but Perlis was not very hungry, so she did not go for lunch, but continued to bask in the sun on the deck.

When was the last time I was so leisurely... Perlis narrowed her eyes and calmly thought about her experiences since the battle to retake Charon.

I always feel that we are drifting away from those peaceful days...

Compared with those ups and downs, the comfort at this moment made Perlis feel something was wrong, as if this was not the life she could have.

"call..."

Perlis decided not to think about anything, just close her eyes calmly and enjoy the sunshine above the ocean current.

The sound of waves kept repeating in my ears. At noon, the shouting on the deck became less frequent, and the whole atmosphere was dominated by the sound of waves and wind, which was comfortable and light. The cries of seagulls could be heard from time to time, and occasionally flying fish would jump out of the sea, making a tiny sound when they fell into the waves, like drum beats between the melody of ocean currents.

Gradually, Perlis almost fell asleep while standing. Her consciousness became increasingly blurred, and the deck under her feet became soft.

Suddenly, a shout came from this quiet atmosphere:

"There's a shipwreck! Lower the sails and drop the anchor!"

It was a familiar voice. Perlis opened her eyes and looked toward the top of the tallest mast, where she immediately saw Grissom Tren wearing a white turban.

Looking in the direction of the sea he pointed, Perlis saw a half-sunken bow floating quietly on the sea, with wooden boards and cracked barrels scattered around it.

This is the safe passage between Xilin Island and Donglin Island... Why is there a shipwreck? Was it done by pirates? Perlis suddenly felt a little confused and looked carefully at the ruins on the sea.

But she could not connect the ruins with the pirate looting no matter what: most of the wreckage of the ship was in a horrible torn state, which did not seem like something ordinary pirates could do. It was more like the work of a supernatural power like Aoi.

"..."

While thinking, Perlis heard several heavy footsteps coming from behind her. She turned around and saw Furukawa Watari with a stern face and a three-legged hat, and Aoi beside him with a smile on her face:

"Hey, Chunbai, are you basking in the sun again?" Aoi ran up impatiently and hugged Perlis, "Come here, give your sister a hug!"

"Hmm..." Perlis subconsciously wanted to break free, but when she thought of how Aoi was hit on the head by the giant sword of the [Angel] before, she didn't dare to move, for fear that Aoi would twitch and die in the next second:

"Is your head okay?"

"I'm fine," Aoi rubbed Perlis's shoulders and said with a smile, "I was just unconscious for a while when I was hit. I ate three big bowls of noodles this morning. I could even do somersaults after eating. I feel refreshed now."

No... there's something wrong with your brain... Perlis looked at Aoi's smiling face speechlessly, then struggled slightly and left Aoi's arms.

Then, Perlis turned her head and saw Furukawa Toru looking out from the side of the ship, his old-fashioned and deep face looking a little solemn.

He seemed to know something? As soon as Perlis's thought flashed through her mind, she saw the first mate Shibata Kazuki and Grissom Tren walk to the side of the ship and stand next to Furukawa Watari:
