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

It was the scene on the other side of the sea again, but this time...it seemed as if something in the sky was watching me...Perlis recalled the scene in her dream just now and felt a chill down her spine.

She didn't think much about it, but simply dealt with her image, then walked through the cabin, opened the door, and went to the captain's room.

Pearlis didn't want to waste any time, she wanted to know what was in the box in the ruins of the shipwreck.

......

The deck was very quiet late at night. The dim moonlight was sprinkled by the broken moon on the slightly mottled wooden boards, creating a snow-like luster.

Walking through the corridor and going up the stairs, Perlis soon reached the superstructure of the deck, and quickly found the captain's room at the top of the "Blue Reef".

As Perlis expected, even though it was late at night, the lights in the captain's room were still on, and faint voices of talking could be heard from inside.

Perlis knocked on the door gently, and after a short wait, the door opened -

"Miss Pollis?"

Mei Xinghui revealed half of her face, and her violet eyes suddenly sparkled the moment she saw Perlis.

The civil servant lady was also in the captain's room...? Perlis was puzzled for a moment, and then she figured out the reason:

The things in that deep-sea treasure chest are likely to involve the realm of mythology and legend, and Xinghui Mei is needed to assist in the research.

"Um..." Perlis nodded, "Can I come in?"

"Of course!"

Mei Xinghui opened the door for Pearlis and invited her in.

The captain's room is not big, and it still follows Mei Xinghui's simple decoration style, but it is more full of life.

Next to the big table in the middle of the captain's room, Perlis saw Furukawa Wataru with a serious face at a glance, and then saw Aoi sitting next to him.

To Perlis's surprise, Aoi was holding a large bowl of ramen and devouring it in big mouthfuls.

Are you still eating so late? Looking at Aoi's voracious appearance, Perlis suddenly felt a little scared.

"Hmm...?" Aoi saw Perlis standing at the door, and immediately swallowed hard, then showed a bright smile, "Wow, pure white sister, you are okay!"

Who is your sister anyway... You're getting more demanding... Perlis puffed up her cheeks helplessly, then walked to Aoi's side, pulled out a chair and sat down.

She ignored Aoi and turned to Furukawa Watari and asked:

"Captain Furukawa, what's in that box?"

Furukawa Watari, with a stern face, said nothing. He pushed a tattered piece of parchment to Perlis and patted it gently:

"this."

Perlis took the parchment and looked at it carefully, and found that it was a map. Most of the pictures on it had been eroded by sea water and gave off a salty smell.

After a little identification, Perlis deduced from the relative positions of the landmarks she had seen before that this was a vague schematic diagram from the Sea of ​​​​Dila to the East Ocean.

On this diagram, a crooked black line marked a route from the Misty Strait to the end of the Eastern Ocean. Its bends and curves were very exaggerated, even a little random, like the graffiti of a naughty child.

But Perlis didn't think so.

She silently took out the map of the relative position of the black island that she had recorded in Xilin Island, and compared it with the torn parchment. She found that the end point of the black line completely overlapped with the position of the black island she marked.

——As expected, this is a route to [Immotaros].

This route starts from an island called "Haiwu Island" in the Misty Strait, goes around a large circle outside Donglin Island, passes by "Dead Snake Bay" and the surrounding "Broken Islands", then passes all the way from the edge of "East Ocean", and finally disappears at a point in the corner of the map with a bizarre turn of nearly 90 degrees.

Perlis raised her head, exchanged glances with Aoi, then turned to Furukawa Watari and asked:

"Is this the only one?"

"No, there's this."

It was Mei Xinghui. She placed an equally decayed and tattered book in front of Perlis and immediately explained:

"Most of the paper materials in the box were in a mess. There was only a nautical chart and this thing that looked like a logbook."

"The second half of the log is in a text that I cannot understand. It looks like a variant of the ancient divine language. It may take me some time to decipher it."

Ancient divine language...? Perlis was a little confused, and immediately cast her eyes on the logbook on the table.

There are many gaps on the logbook, and a corner is missing in the upper right corner of the book. This diary looks very old and exudes a strange smell from the deep sea.

"..."

Perlis opened the diary and found that most of the words were no longer visible, and only a few fragmentary sentences could be pieced together.

This is a font similar to the common language, but it looks more complicated and the handwriting is quite sloppy, which seems to reflect the writer's impatient and rough character.

It was so difficult to read... Perlis squinted her eyes slightly and barely made out a line of words:

"...November...day, 934, the storm...dissipated...gradually stopped...it's time...to search for the island..."

The handwriting was slightly missing and appeared fragmented. But what surprised Perlis was not the content, but the date.

——February 934.

"You've discovered the problem," Aoi looked at Perlis's slightly wrinkled eyebrows and nodded, "This is an adventure ship from before the [College War]."

Perlis swallowed slightly, she raised her head and glanced at the calendar on the wall: this year is 951, and the College War was in 936, 15 years ago.

This navigation diary is from November 934, 11 years ago.

This leads to a strange question: If this ship was on an expedition to Black Island 17 years ago, why was the wreckage only found floating on the sea today, 17 years later?

Could it be that... because of some recent changes in the ocean, its remains were thrown out to the bottom of the sea...? Perlis thought of the deep sea crack where no one knew what was underneath, and the giant eye in the darkness.

It was getting weirder and weirder... Perlis looked at the broken sentence and tried to fill it in with her imagination:

"The storm is dispersing and gradually dying down... What? Is it time to go to the Black Island and look for... something?"

Hmm... I can't guess it, I have to keep reading. Perlis didn't stop, her eyes moved down along the yellowed pages.

And when she pieced together the next complete sentence, she took a deep breath:

"...all black...gone...no trace...."

"...the sea is alive..."

.......

5) Yaki Troll Soul Eater (Part 2) -Additional Update-

The sea is alive.

The moment this sentence entered Perlis's eyes, she seemed to see the giant eye opened in the darkness and the countless tentacles extending from the abyss.

The layers of scales on the tentacles seemed to tremble again in front of Perlis. She was very sure that it was definitely not anything in the currently known food chain.

What is that? Is it the sea?

What does "...all black...disappeared..." mean? Perlis closed her eyes and thought for a moment before catching a similar scene:

When she floated above the ocean rift, she also entered a dark and indescribable space.

And at the end of the darkness, Perlis saw a giant eye open.

So... they also encountered that kind of darkness and came to the conclusion that "the sea is alive"?

"..."

Perlis raised her head and met Aoi's gaze. The latter nodded slightly and said:

"This sentence must be related to the monster you and Captain Furukawa discovered in the ruins of the shipwreck. Do you have any ideas?"

Perlis didn't say anything, just shook her head slightly and continued to look at the navigation diary.

She needs to keep reading and wait until she reaches more conclusions before sharing the information.

"..."

Following the horrible handwriting downwards, a series of black stains followed, covering the normal handwriting.

Further down, Perlis finally caught a few more recognizable sentences:

"...The veins in the abyss...are very dark...and very far away..."

"...gone...all..."

"...It's so dark...My hand..."

"...Don't come here..."

"...No...I'm not coming..."

"...help me..."

As the creepy text was written, Perlis felt her eyelids twitch unnaturally.

The last few paragraphs sound like the transformation process of the diary owner... If the information in the Black Island nursery rhyme is correct, it's probably that the crew of that ship turned into that dark monster.

Once again, Perlis recalled the towering dark figure and the terrifying smile that was forced out from the muscleless cheeks. The chill of the night was even greater.

As for the "veins in the abyss", for no reason, Perlis connected it with the crack in the seabed that emitted a dark aura. But as for what "very dark" and "very far away" meant, she had no idea.

Based on current information, this adventure fleet departed from the starting point of the Misty Strait and followed the strange route on the nautical chart. They successfully avoided storms and turbulence and entered the black island called Inmotalus.

After that, they landed on the land of Black Island, but were almost wiped out after encountering some kind of mutation, and the remaining survivors were transformed into monsters with "black smiles".

This is such an unpleasant truth...Polis closed her eyes and observed a brief moment of silence for those explorers.

However, since the explorer became a monster after writing this sentence, who wrote the second half of the diary written in a variant of the ancient divine language as told by Mei Xinghui?

Perlis calmed herself down, then flipped through a few pure black and incomplete pages and found the next page with a sentence.

She saw the scribbled ancient divine words at a glance, but she couldn't understand them either.

What does this all mean...Polis squinted carefully, trying to find a pattern in the sloppy grammar.

But the next second, she suddenly felt a flash of red lightning before her eyes——

"Well...!"

In an instant, the strange symbol formed by the "abstract flower" and the "ink bottle" flashed in front of Perlis, and countless red arcs flowed through the veins in her body.

Her vision suddenly turned red, and then the sentences suddenly became understandable.

No, not understanding, but some deeper spiritual integration:

"Immataros! Immataros! Dedicate to the great Immataros (ancient divine language)!"

"Wake Him up! Wake Him up! Wake Him up! Wake Him up (ancient divine language)..."

The distorted words were accompanied by a hint of red light in Perlis's vision. In an instant, the flood of information hit Perlis's brain, making her shaky and almost vomiting.

In the end, the words were tangled together into a sentence written in wild ink:

"I see you (ancient divine language)."

"Uh..."

Feeling dizzy, Perlis immediately slammed the diary shut and tilted her head back.

Two streams of heat flowed down from the tip of her nose, across her philtrum, and dripped down her chin...

Another nosebleed... How could it be...

Perlis closed her eyes, her mind in a mess. She gently pinched her nose, allowing the red veins to shuttle through her body, repairing the damage she had just suffered.

The other people at the table obviously realized that something was wrong with Perlis. Aoi and Mei Xinghui immediately rushed to her side and held her shoulders, while the sharp-eyed Furukawa Wataru grabbed the navigation diary without hesitation and threw it fiercely to the other end of the room.

"Ms. Perlis, are you okay?" Xinghui Mei patted Perlis's back, with a hint of anxiety on her quiet face.

"Little Junbai? Are you okay?" Aoi held the ramen and took a big bite with chopsticks, "Would you like to have a bite of this to recover?"

"No... no need..." Perlis took a deep breath and opened her eyes, "I'm fine..."

She took the handkerchief handed to her by Xinghui Mei, wiped the blood from her face, and breathed slowly.

That variant of the ancient divine language... seems to be the true form of the ancient divine language... No, it should be said that the current ancient divine language is just the state of that expression in the material world after a certain "information reduction"...

Perlis recalled the feeling of seeing those lines of horrifying text. The moment she saw the text, she felt that countless pieces of information flooded into her mind, interweaving into a picture:

It was an endless sea of ​​stars. Above the twisted curvature cave, a group of blurry golden buildings were floating, appearing very far away.

And under the sea of ​​stars, Perlis saw countless black tentacles covered with layers of scales, extending out towards the starry sky, but eventually they completely disintegrated under the illumination of a red light.

These images are blurry, but they are the most complete images that Perlis has obtained after processing the information with her brain.

Those dark tentacles...are they related to the myth of the goddess Ursa? It sounds a lot like the so-called "black tide that drowned the world"...but what does that have to do with the stars?
