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

"..."

The moment the door opened, Perlis met the priest's eyes. Most of his face was covered by the hood and shadows, and only his eyes were clearly visible to Perlis.

Those eyes were dark green and emitted a faint light in the darkness.

......

7) Sea Mist Room (Part 14)

Dark green eyes...Perlis recalled Ivar Sekpas, the man who was both her adoptive father and her father's murderer.

It's really not a very good memory...

"..."

The moment Pearlis opened the door, everyone in the church turned their heads and looked at her.

Those faces were old and young, male and female, all human faces. They stared at Perlis expressionlessly, their eyes motionless, and their grayish-white faces looked a little creepy under the dim light of the church.

Seeing this, Perlis tightly grasped the butterfly knife in her sleeve, ready to face the battle directly if something went wrong. But those people just watched expressionlessly, as if they had turned into stone statues after completing the previous action.

What's going on? Why are they looking at me? Perlis carefully observed every face under the black robe, trying to find even a hint of intention from their stiff expressions, but she only found the same unchanging stiffness.

That's the look of a dead person.

"..."

Just as the situation was at a standstill again, the church bell rang again. At the same time, the priest on the bulletin board gently flipped the book in front of him and pressed his hand on a certain page.

As he moved, a transcendent and ethereal melody echoed in the dome of the church. All the people in black robes immediately turned their eyes away from Perlis and looked up at the sky at the same time, still with no expression on their faces.

What surprised Perlis was that the melody did not have any effect on her. Instead, she felt a force flowing from inside to outside, which surprised her for a moment.

That priest...Perlis raised her head and looked into those green eyes again, but still couldn't see the man's face clearly.

She didn't have time to ponder these things. She didn't know when the melody would fade away, so she had to seize every second. So, Perlis quickly passed through the church, with a halo in her bloodshot eyes, searching quickly.

Soon, she found a hidden switch next to a relief fountain that did not spray water under the bulletin board: From Perlis's perspective, there was a trace of red light, and the content was a line of words that she was very familiar with:

“Listar Kas Mizalar (Ancient Divine Language)….”

Perlis recited the spell softly, and the moment she finished speaking, drops of dark liquid spurted out from the relief fountain, and soon overflowed, soaking the ground under the bulletin board.

Perlis subconsciously took two steps back, but in just a blink of an eye, the place that was soaked by the fountain was completely free of water stains and turned into a dark hole in the ground.

The stairs extended towards the darkness below. Looking down, all you could see was darkness.

According to Article 7 of the Ankamouth Code, this leads to the church's catacombs... There's no telling what's hidden in there.

"call..."

Perlis took a deep breath, then took a step forward and walked down the stairs.

After walking for a distance, the light behind her disappeared, and the melody that filled the church also dissipated, and the dead silence returned again.

The priest seemed to help me... For some reason, he seemed to want me to enter this tomb...

Perlis recalled the pair of dark green eyes and the blurry face, and a possibility popped up in her mind, but she quickly denied it.

Ivar Sekpas is dead, killed by my own hands...and even if he wasn't dead, he wouldn't be in a strange place like the town of Ankamouth.

Besides, how could that guy help me? He has done so many bad things. All he has done is bad things...

Suddenly, the sound of bullets on the top of Wanren Mountain rang out again, followed by the falling "Executioner" and black blood splattered all over the ground.

Who knows... After all, no one has ever told me the truth, and they just treat me like a little flower in a greenhouse...

"..."

Feeling suddenly lonely, Perlis gradually walked up the first flight of stairs and came to an open tomb. There were hundreds of coffins here, but they were not sealed, leaving the bones inside exposed to the air.

Perlis saw the appearance of the bones at a glance: they were human bones, with only the skeletons left, a little yellow, but for some reason they remained in this state and did not further dry or decay.

Is it because this area is in the [Netherworld]?

Perlis did not investigate further, but quickly walked through the hall of the tomb and continued walking down through the door at the other end, going deeper.

She soon arrived at a tomb hall again, where human skeletons were still displayed randomly, but in much smaller numbers.

Unlike the skeletons above, these bones are charred black, but it does not seem to be caused by fire, but more like the color caused by some kind of corrosion.

This color made Perlis feel creepy and reminded her of many bad feelings. At that moment, it seemed as if a cold wind was blowing in the windless cellar.

Continue down.

"..."

When entering the third tomb chamber, Perlis covered her mouth - a foul stench filled the air, making her feel a little faint.

What surprised her even more was what happened next: there were fewer skeletons here than in the second tomb, but they all looked hunched and sick. There were all kinds of strange hyperplasia on the limbs of the skeletons, and barbs protruded outward, forming a shape similar to fish fins.

Perlis could recognize at a glance that this was the skeleton of that kind of "fish".

The remains of these monsters have been hidden under the church in Ankamouth? So everything above is real?

Since when did it start...

"..."

The hollow monster corpses were twisted and distorted, and several of the crooked skulls stared at Perlis, making her back a little cold. She quickly crossed the hall, pushed open the door at the end of the tomb, and found that there were stairs leading down one by one in front of her.

Is it deeper? Looking at the darkness before her, Perlis instinctively resisted going any further.

The deformed skeletons on this floor were already weird enough, and she didn't dare to imagine what she might see next.

But they were almost at the spring, just a little bit short, and Perlis didn't want to give up here.

"call..."

After taking a deep breath, Perlis took a step forward and continued down the stairs.

"..."

The deeper they went, the more ominous the air became. A faint whisper passed by Perlis's ears, telling strange and fragmentary words.

She concentrated, steadied her cognition, and kept repeating Rule Five of the Code:

"...Ignore everything you hear on the way. Everything in the catacombs is Gudella artifacts, not real..."

"Not really..."

"Not really..."

"..."

If the skeletons in the third tomb already look like the fish outside, what about the next tomb? What would be in there?

Perlis didn't dare to think about it, but kept preparing herself mentally, telling herself that she must ignore those things.

Soon, when Perlis walked down the last flight of stairs and came to another new tomb chamber, she was ready to face everything she was about to see.

"..."

However, when Perlis walked into the tomb carefully, she found nothing in front of her.

"What...?"

The walls on all four sides were covered with strange reliefs inlaid with algae and shells. The hall of this tomb was larger than the previous three tombs combined, but it was empty and contained nothing.

How could this happen? Perlis walked into the tomb and saw nothing but a door with ancient patterns carved on it at the other end.

There were no human corpses, nor any "fish" corpses.

If there is nothing here, why is this tomb so big? This doesn't make sense...

"..."

Thinking of this, Perlis subconsciously raised her head and wanted to look at the ceiling of the tomb.

However, at this moment, a sharp silver bell rang in her mind, stopping her from moving.

"jingle--"

Perlis lowered her head suddenly, and cold sweat instantly covered her back.

Her shoulders trembled, and a hot stream flowed out from the tip of her nose, dripping onto the ground and spreading stickily.

Don't look at the ceiling!

Don't look at the ceiling! Don't look at the ceiling! Don't look at the ceiling!

"Om————"

The loud tinnitus made Perlis's eyes a little dazed. She stood there for a while, at a loss, before she came to her senses and staggered towards the gate at the other end of the tomb.

Along the way, she kept having murderous feelings in her mind that almost made her faint. At the same time, whispers drifted past her ears. This time, she understood what they said:

"Look up and see the beautiful stars."

"Look, those are stars, so many stars!"

"Mom, I want to see the stars."

"The stars are so beautiful... the stars..."

"..."

It was as if countless eyes were focused on the top of Perlis's head, causing her to tremble subconsciously. Her pace became faster and faster, gradually changing from walking to jogging, and from jogging to sprinting.

As if running for her life, Perlis ran to the door at the other end of the tomb and pushed it open violently. Without even doing the most basic search, she turned around and slammed the door shut.

After doing all this, her body was soaked in cold sweat, as if she had just been fished out of the icy waters of the Misty Strait.

......

7) Sea Mist Room (Part 15)

According to the slightly rough Thebitten map on the [Evil Spirit], Aoi quickly found the pattern among the uneven buildings and found the correct direction to the lighthouse.

As Aoi went deeper, a large number of city defense measures gradually appeared on the surrounding buildings, and the streets were occupied by various sandbags and small bunkers, dividing them into lines of defense. The fog seemed to have dissipated a little here, and the outline of the lighthouse was looming in the fog.

But what made Kui feel uneasy was that, just as the [Evil Spirit] said, there was no one here. All the Thebites seemed to be swallowed up by the thick fog. Occasionally, one or two Thebite-made guns and cold weapons were scattered on the ground, and half-eaten military rations and fruits were scattered around the bunker.

All this seemed to foreshadow the bustling crowds that once existed here, except that there were no people anymore.

Ah... What should I do if I can't find Pure White... Aoi patted his head with a headache, feeling a little depressed.

Although that girl is not an easy person to get along with, she is actually very cute and kind... I finally got along with her and she even said that we should go find Kuroshima together...

Aoi sighed softly, and she quickly passed through the ruins left by the Thebits, and soon stood in front of the mottled lighthouse. There were no algae or shells on it, and it was recognizable as a human architectural style at a glance, which made Aoi feel a little grateful from the bottom of her heart.

In short, light the lighthouse first and dispel the fog. Maybe she will emerge from some corner by herself.

Thinking of this, Aoi grasped the handle of the lighthouse door and squeezed it gently. The door lock melted away and was easily crushed by Aoi.

"Boom."

......

“Haaaa…haha…”

After closing the door of the tomb, Perlis' knees went weak and she fell to the ground unconsciously, gasping for breath.

She recalled the feeling of being watched by countless eyes. The weirdness and terror that struck her soul made her feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit.

Whatever was on the ceiling of the tomb, Perlis knew that if she saw those things, she would probably go crazy or die on the spot.

"call..."

Red veins flowed in her body, and arcs of electricity burst out from the surface of Perlis's body, repairing the nerve damage she had just suffered.

We can't delay here... We are almost at the spring, almost at the spring...

Perlis used all her strength to support her knees, stood up, took a deep breath, and then turned to face the space behind the tomb.

To her surprise, there was no spring in front of her - everything she could see was shrouded in darkness, deep and dark, with a roar that made the space itself tremble.

This pitch-black space left a deep impression on Perlis - she was also pulled into such a space above the deep-sea rift and saw the big eye in the abyss.

Will I see that guy here again? Perlis looked towards the end of the darkness with a little caution, but found that there was nothing there. A void enveloped the dark space, making Perlis subconsciously feel that danger was approaching.

But no matter what, we must move forward and find the location of the spring.

"..."
