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

"Of course, you have another choice: sleep forever in the center of this sea of ​​flowers, fall into a deep sleep, and never wake up again."

"Even from the veins in the starry sky, it can be seen that the suffering you have endured so far is just a drop in the ocean. It is far from over and there is no sign of it ending at all."

"You have a reason to escape from it all, little girl, escape from those miserable days, stay quietly in the sea of ​​flowers, and enjoy the peace that belongs only to you without worries."

Hearing Icahn's words, ripples began to form in Perlis' heart. Countless images and emotions emerged from her mind all at once, bubbling up.

A journey always has an end, no matter where it is.

In the past, Perlis would have seriously considered this option.

"I want to move forward."

Pearlis looked at Ikan with light in her eyes.

Seeing this, Icahn smiled lightly, and then said with a sigh:

"so good..."

"Why do you say that?"

"because..."

Icahn paused for a moment, turned around, and waved to Perlis:

"...The person who loves you most in the world is also rushing towards you at full speed."

After he finished speaking, his figure turned into waves in the sea of ​​flowers, as if he had disappeared into the sea of ​​flowers.

Perlis stared blankly at the place where Icahn disappeared, then raised her head and looked at the starry sky.

"Carly..."

Perlis closed her eyes, and a warm force flowed through her blood vessels to her whole body, making her feel unprecedented peace of mind.

Then she opened her eyes and walked along the path among the flowers with firm steps.

Tonight, she will leave the shore and sail towards the sea of ​​stars.

...END...

1) The Anchor

“It will always rain.”

——Selected Works of Wilkin's Fairy Tales

“Haaaa…Haaaa…”

In the alleys of the capital, Wizel, a hooded boy ran for his life, his stumbling steps splashing water on the boxes.

He turned one dark corner after another, sometimes leaning over, sometimes using all four limbs, looking very embarrassed.

When he thought he was about to escape, the next corner turned out to be a dead end.

"I rely on!"

The young man roared and turned around, only to be met with a fierce blow—

"what!"

He was thrown to the ground, his hood fell down, revealing his slightly fat face.

The patter of rain fell from the sky above the alley, dripping onto his confused cheeks and flowing down his jawline like tears.

"No, no, no...wait a minute, I've already told you, I'm not, I absolutely—"

Yu argued desperately, sliding backwards in the mud and reaching for the thing around his waist with his hands.

However, when he saw the pursuer's face clearly, the hand stopped.

It was Jessica. She looked at Yu who was sliding on the ground with cold eyes and an indifferent expression.

"Jessica..." Yu muttered in a low voice.

In the rainy alley, Jessica slowly walked in front of Yu. She gently pushed the safety on the pistol and pointed the muzzle at Yu's forehead:

"I'm not a debt collector and I have no interest in how much money you owe at the casino."

"It was just a temporary setback...!" Yu frowned when she heard about the debt. "I told you, my house is already..."

"Shut up."

Jessica said coldly, her finger tightened on the trigger a little, frightening Yu so much that she trembled and stretched her hands in front of her body and shook them:

"No, no, no! Don't shoot! I promise, I won't interrupt anymore, please!"

He no longer had the high-spirited look he had in the past. Having gained weight just a few months after leaving the competition, he now looked like those gamblers in Weiser's casino, with nervous breakdown and a face as pale as a pig.

Seeing her old friend like this, Jessica's eyes became colder. She frowned slightly, as if she remembered some bad memories, and exhaled:

"What I want to ask is, do you regret it?"

"Regret? Regret for what?"

"Little Camp, you killed him!"

Jessica yelled, suddenly taking off her hood, and her short hair was immediately covered with crystal raindrops.

"Don't think I don't know anything! You shot him in the back!"

Hearing Jessica's roar, Yu was stunned for a moment, with a somewhat stiff expression on her face.

He seemed to force himself to pull the corners of his mouth, then spread his hands and said indifferently:

"Come on...come on, you've been chasing me for so long just to accuse me of something?"

"So what?"

"That only makes you... you childish, haha... look at me now, what a wonderful life I am living..."

"Is it really beautiful?" Jessica curled her lips sarcastically. "Look at you, like a fat pig. You lost all your savings and even sold your house. Everything the competition gave you, the Federation is taking back in full!"

"I've already told you, it was just a temporary setback! I'll immediately..."

Before Yu finished speaking, Jessica narrowed her eyes and immediately pulled the trigger——

"Snapped!"

The sound of gunfire echoed through the alleys of Wezel, insignificant and instantly swallowed up by the icy rain that enveloped the city.

Yu's expression froze at that moment. He turned his head blankly and found a crater with smoke coming out of it on the ground between his legs.

"You're a complete jerk," Jessica said coldly, "but you can still make amends."

After saying that, Jessica flicked her hand, and a note fell into the puddle in front of Yu.

Then Jessica left, leaving Yu alone.

Looking at her back, Yu's mouth twitched for a long time, but he still struggled to speak:

"Hey! Enlia... How is Aunt Enlia? She..."

Jessica didn't even look back, she turned around and disappeared around the corner of Yu Alley, leaving Yu sitting alone in the alley.

He stayed there for a while, then reached out and picked up the note from the puddle.

The title of the note read "Newsboy", and below the title, a line of childish handwriting read:

“We are delivering a brand new message.”

"..."

Yu just stared at the sentences blankly without saying a word. What he didn't notice was that a few small blue dots of light were gradually disappearing from the back of his clothes.

These blue spots of light flexibly shuttled through the rain alley, accurately avoiding every drop of rain, passing through the eaves, through the blocks, and flew all the way into the window of a house in the villa area.

At the window, Carly Fellowes, wearing a white evening gown, raised her hands, allowing the returning blue light spots to merge into the Five Rings.

She glanced at the icy rain outside the window again, and then spoke softly:

"Re-check the Cradle System operating status."

"Normal status, Dr. Fellowes," the room's AI replied. "This is your third search in ten minutes. Do you require anti-anxiety medication?"

"No," Carly took a deep breath, "I'm fine."

After saying this, Carly picked up the suitcase beside her and snapped her fingers gently:

"Set route, Lansta New District, Dr. Sean Davis's residence, entrance number three."

"The route has been planned," the house's AI said, "I hope you enjoy your dinner."

"Thank you."

"By the way, Dr. Fellowes, before you leave, I need to repeat the contents of your memo."

The AI ​​in the room stopped talking for a moment, and then spoke in a completely different voice:

“The Seesaw.”

The moment she heard this word, Carly's body trembled slightly, as if something was spreading along her nerves.

Her ice-blue eyes suddenly became empty and lifeless, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, but she said nothing.

"..."

After a brief silence, Carly smiled and politely said to the house AI:

"thanks for your reminder."

"Enjoy your dinner again," the AI ​​said cheerfully.

Carly nodded, then opened the bedroom door, went downstairs, and came to the entrance of the mansion.

There, an elegant black car was waiting for her in the rain.

"Ms. Philos," the bodyguard in a formal suit saw Carly's empty eyes and immediately walked to her side from the car with an umbrella, "Are you ready?"

"I'm ready," Carly smiled gracefully, "Let's go, we still have to give our blessings to Mr. Sean Davis."

The bodyguard chuckled and nodded. He escorted Carly to the side of the car, opened the door for her, and after she got in, he called on the intercom:

"The package is on the way."

"receive."

......

1) Anchor (Part 2)

Carly will never forget the past few months. For her, these were definitely the months when she lost herself the most.

Drinking, drinking from morning till night.

Wine bottles filled Carly's vision, surrounding her, numbing her weak nerves and body with alcohol.

She won the prize money of the [competition], but she never went to any social occasions again, just locked herself in a small room. Every time she ate, the housekeeper would always put the food at the door, and then replace the untouched overnight food with new ones the next day, and the cycle would repeat over and over again.

"The once high-spirited Dr. Carly Fellowes has fallen." This information quickly spread throughout Wiesel's upper class society. Of course, almost everyone knew why: her favorite Perlis Havrgard was declared missing in the competition.

Business tycoons quickly seized this opportunity and took advantage of it. They used various means to force Carly to meet with them, forced her to sign a large number of paper contracts, and sold one patent after another that originally belonged to her.

However, rather than being forced, it would be more accurate to say that Carly didn't resist at all.

Gradually, she lost her value - almost all the technology was in the hands of the Federation, and she could no longer form a personal monopoly.

A genius of a generation fell in this way. People no longer saw her angrily giving orders at the senior meetings of the [Academy]. However, they could often see her firing at the target swiftly at the shooting range on the corner of Wezel Street, as if she was venting something.

In the end, even those eyes in the darkness were too lazy to look at her anymore - she was just a useless person.

"..."

In the back seat of the black car, Carly stared blankly at the rain outside the car window. The streets of Weiser looked a little blurry in the rain, and the neon lights looked hazy in the rain, real and fake, reflecting a strange brilliance in her eyes.

Soon, the car drove into the new area of ​​Lansta - this area originally belonged to Lansta Industries. After the deaths of Itrisna Lansta and Basta Lansta, Lansta Industries fell into the hands of the academy and was managed by Dr. Sean Davis, a senior researcher at the academy.

Today is the opening ceremony of the new area of ​​Lansta. Sean Davis invited most of the dignitaries in the [College], but unexpectedly included Carly Fellowes, who was considered to be "down and out".

No one thinks that Carly has any extra value. Not only does she no longer have those monopolized technologies, but her brain has also been damaged by alcohol. Who would be willing to communicate with her?

But Carly "numbly" accepted the invitation and did not refuse.
