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

Aoi said to Furukawa Wataru anxiously, then turned around and was about to jump back into the sea.

But before she did so, she caught a glimpse of Perlis panting by the side of the ship, and her eyes narrowed slightly:

"Pure White! Are you okay?"

Aoi rushed to Perlis's side and wanted to pick her up, but when she saw the two bloodstains on Perlis's philtrum, she dared not move:

"Are you hurt...?"

"It's okay..." Perlis gently wiped off the blood, her voice a little weak, "Leave here immediately..."

"I know. Captain Furukawa Tou has already gone to do it." Aoi turned around and saw Furukawa Tou negotiating with Shibata Kazuki. "He will leave soon."

"That's good..." Perlis panted, then raised her head and looked at the sun in the sky.

The afternoon sun was so scorching, but it could not dispel the chill that enveloped Perlis's body.

Whether it was the pitch-black space, the giant eye in the abyss, or the countless black tentacles that emerged from the cracks on the seabed, they were far beyond what Perlis could imagine.

She felt an extreme madness overriding her consciousness, as if it was about to deconstruct her thoughts.

If an ordinary person saw that kind of thing...he would definitely go crazy, right?

And that black skeleton-like monster...what is that...?

"Dang——dang——dang——"

"Full sail!"

It was the voice of Grissom Tran, which obviously meant that the "Blue Reef" was about to leave this sea area and continue to move towards Donglin Island.

Perlis closed her eyes, and the dark face of the skeleton appeared in front of her.

She remembered that when she was in close combat with the monster, it had looked her in the eyes.

Then, it smiled, a smile appearing on its black, bony face that had almost no muscles.

Perlis's mind was dark, almost completely filled with that smile.

This scene became more and more familiar, and Perlis felt like she had seen it before...

correct!

"...!"

Perlis opened her eyes and looked at Aoi in a daze. The latter was looking at Perlis with worry on her face, as if she was afraid that she would fall down at any time.

Just now, Perlis recalled why that black smile was so familiar.

That horrible nursery rhyme about the Black Isle!

"...their smiles are black...!"

That thing...that monster...is it someone who has been to Black Island...?

Why did it appear in this sea area? Why did it appear in the ruins of a shipwreck?

An unreasonable fear rose in Perlis' heart. She once again recalled the giant eye in the abyss. Just looking at that thing made her almost crazy.

That...existence, is it related to Imhotaros?

Where does that crack in the seabed lead to? If I sink into that abyss, can I reach the Black Island?

"call..."

Perlis stopped her wandering thoughts because she felt that her spirit was extremely exhausted due to that eye contact. Thinking at this moment would not only make it difficult to come to a conclusion, but would also further deepen her fatigue.

Captain Furukawa Wataru seems to have salvaged a box from the bridge of the sunken ship, which may contain some information.

"..."

Seeing the thoughtful look on Perlis's tired face, Aoi finally couldn't help but ask:

"Pure White, what happened down there?"

"It's a long story..." Perlis rubbed her temple, not wanting to recount the experience for now, "What happened over there?"

“I don’t quite understand…”

Aoi shook her head and recounted her experience from her perspective:

"After I killed the five Dark Tide Hammers, I immediately saw Captain Furukawa Watari coming out of the ruins holding a box. He was slightly injured, so I sent him back to the boat first and asked him what happened."

"He told me that he encountered a monster, but he didn't go into detail. He just said that you were still down there, and seemed to be looking for something."

"I was just about to go back to find you when I suddenly felt..."

At this point, Aoi's eyes became a little dazed for a moment, as if she was recalling a bad experience:

"I feel like something is watching me..."

"......!" Perlis's expression hardened as she confirmed one thing:

The giant eye under the abyss was real at that moment and not just an illusion of Perlis.

"I wanted to jump into the water, but I found that I couldn't do it no matter what I did..." Aoi shook her head slightly, "I suddenly became very afraid of water, and instinctively wanted to escape from the sea, and I couldn't wait to run to the land..."

"Captain Furukawa To's face looked even more strange. His breathing became more and more rapid, and it looked like something might go wrong at any moment."

"So... I sent him back to the ship first, and then I planned to go back and find you."

Aoi looked embarrassed and obviously felt very guilty.

But Perlis knew that it was definitely not Aoi's fault. She was definitely not a timid person, nor was she the kind of person who was afraid of death and abandoned her companions.

Otherwise she wouldn't blame herself so much.

Looking at Aoi's appearance, Perlis closed her eyes and smiled softly:

"It's okay. I'm fine, right?"

"But if anything happens to you, it must be because I didn't go down to save you," Aoi shook his head again, his usual hip-hop look completely gone.

"Then do me a favor..."

Perlis took a deep breath and felt that her legs had no strength left:

"Help me go back... and take a nap..."

She was very tired and needed to rest urgently. If she didn't ensure her physical strength, she would definitely not be able to cope with what happened next.

As for the dangers that the "Blue Reef" might encounter, Perlis believed that Aoi would be able to handle it.

"..."

Aoi looked at Perlis's slightly stubborn and indifferent face and sighed:

"No matter what, this time it's my turn. When we get to Donglin Island, I'll treat you to lots of delicious food to make it up to you."

No...or rather, forget it...Pollis smiled gently and nodded to indicate that she would talk about it later.

She waited for Aoi to help her back to the cabin, but she was picked up by Aoi around the waist.

"Hey! What are you doing..."

"Aren't you exhausted? It would be more reasonable to carry you back," Aoi returned to her smiling face, "When you have rested, tell me what happened down there, and I will help you think about it."

"..."

Pearlis was helplessly carried towards the cabin. She felt the heat bursting out from Aoi's body, gradually drying her wet clothes.

This is really convenient...Perlis really wanted to say something, but she felt too tired to open her mouth.

At this time, she heard Aoi's somewhat cunning words:

"By the way, I'd better help you take a bath first. The smell of sea water is not so ideal."

"No." Perlis was no longer tired and resisted firmly.

......

"Ah... sunny days..."

A small raft floated above the rolling waves. The fishermen on it gracefully adjusted their straw hats and looked towards the back of the Blue Reef in the distance.

“Great for fishing...”

The fisherman stood up on the raft and looked down into the deep ocean current with his eyes focused.

He stretched out a hand towards the abyss beneath the sea, groping lightly in the air.

Not long after, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and his groping hand suddenly clenched, turned, and then gently pulled back -

"Om-"

The shadow of the raft was suddenly stretched longer and longer, and a vibration hidden in the space continued to come, making a faint roar.

The more the fisherman pulled, the more the light in his eyes gathered, and a dark vortex appeared.

Then, in the center of the vortex, a giant eye loomed.

"So that's it..."

The fisherman smiled gracefully, then he took out a gold coin from his pocket, turned it a few times between his fingers, and then flicked it -

——It was the back, on which was engraved a strange eye, overflowing with madness in its lifelessness.

"You have bad luck, Familiar."

The fisherman was as polite as a gentleman, but the curve at the corner of his mouth was getting bigger and bigger, and a little bit of madness gradually overflowed:

"Tell me everything you know."

He jerked his wrist, and the shadow of the raft instantly became extremely dark, with black foam boiling in it.

A vibration hidden beneath the space spread out in waves, as if there were whispers mixed in it, appearing extremely strange.

And among the whispers, one of the voices became clearer and clearer.

Then, a sharp black shadow was pulled out from the deep darkness by the fisherman——

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!"

A shriek that seemed to be able to pierce the eardrums broke out, and a dark monster like a hunchbacked human jumped out from the shadows, staring at the fishermen with eye sockets with countless tentacles overflowing.

Looking at the monster, the fisherman just gracefully adjusted his straw hat, smiled, and gently twisted his wrist again.

In an instant, boundless darkness suddenly enveloped the entire sea, swallowing up all the fishermen and monsters.

This was just a sudden vision. The next second, the darkness dissipated and the sea returned to its usual calm and peaceful state.

But there was no one on the raft, only its shadow was still trembling slightly.

5) Yamata the Souleater

"Immotharos...Immotharos...Immotharos...Immotharos..."

"Hula-"

The overwhelming swarm of ravens covered the sky and then dispersed in the cold wind. Spots of light from the burning clouds fell and illuminated the girl's cheek.

In the distance, a spire corroded by darkness reached straight into the clouds. Red thunder surrounded the tower, radiating into an unstable net in the sky.

Subconsciously, Perlis wanted to move towards the spire and find out what was inside.

But at that moment, she felt something opening up in the sky above her.

She didn't even have time to look up before she felt her consciousness and body being completely shattered into pieces.

"clang--"

"...!"

The silver bells rang, and Perlis sat up suddenly, breathing slightly, with cold sweat all over her head.

She quickly looked around and found that she was still in the cabin of the "Blue Reef". It was quiet all around.

Is it just a dream?

"call..."

Perlis gently touched up her somewhat messy pure white long hair, combed it casually, then stood up and sat in front of the dressing table.
