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

[Deep Dive Cradle] has always been a taboo. Although it is an open secret within the academy, this kind of brainwashing is completely against ethics and morals.

This kind of dark side is probably one of the reasons why Grace fled the academy...

However, he doesn't have to do anything bad this time -

"Brainwash me, Grice."

Carly said, stood up, walked to the side of the [Deep Diving Cradle] without any delay, and lay down on the chair.

She put on the headphones hanging next to the chair, looked at Grace beside her, and said:

"Come on, I can't do it alone."

Grace was still in a daze. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his hand and said:

"No, no, no, no, you can't do that, Senior. You've already been implanted. You can't expect to fight it with another trigger word, right?"

"That's what I hope," Carly said calmly, "If a trigger word can be associated with my 'accused' state, why can't I create another trigger word associated with the 'awake' state?"

"This... this is not supported by papers or experiments... isn't it a bit..." Grace was still hesitant.

"Don't worry, my ideas are usually not wrong," Carly said calmly, "Come here and help me adjust."

Grace hesitated for a while. He looked at Carly's seemingly nonchalant face, but his heart was full of question marks.

Why would you go to such lengths? Since you've already fled the Federation, you could just stay in La Vatino and live your whole life in anonymity...

After seeing the once energetic Carly dying on the train, Grace guessed how this 19-year-old senior student resisted brainwashing and escaped from the Federation:

heart disease.

Using such an extreme and horrifying method to harm oneself, and now thinking of using even more extreme methods to continue to fight against it...

You've already escaped, so why continue to fight?

Grace walked to the side of the [Deep Diving Cradle] in a daze, debugged the machine, and mechanically input a series of parameters.

There was no way he could refuse the request of his senior sister, he admired her, he was her junior and more importantly, her student.

He just didn't understand why Carly continued to fight in such an extreme way.

Until he asked Carly about the setting of the trigger words——

"Trigger word? Just use 'Police'."

Grace's face was reflected in those ice-blue eyes, but Grace knew that the shadow of another person was reflected in those eyes at that moment.

[Pure white fireworks]?

For that girl, the senior student could actually work so hard.

"it is good..."

Grace curled his lips slightly, and made a logical connection between "Police" and "awake state" as Carly requested.

Then he pressed the start button, sending Carly into a deep dive.

"Om-"

A deep blue light lit up around the outline of the bed, enveloping the girl's body in an icy blue glow.

Carly closed her eyes, her sleeping face as peaceful as a child. Strings of blue light flowed into her brain through the tubes on the headphones, implanting her mind at a subconscious level.

Looking at the sleeping senior, Grace gently clenched his fist and placed it against his forehead.

This is [Eye of the Federation] Carly Fellowes, a genius and a madman.

Who knows where the line is between genius and madness? It is better to say that geniuses are all madmen to some extent...

Grace knew that it was impossible for him to catch up with such a person.

Whether in terms of talent, knowledge, or courage, he could not compare with the senior student who was a few years younger than him.

As for the love lurking in my heart...it's more like a joke...

Grace, do you dare to embark on the journey with her to find the one she loves?

The boy asked himself this, then shook his head slightly.

Impossible... How could it be possible...

The woodpecker on the tree cannot compare to the brightness of the stars.

......

4) Embers (Part 8)

Carly had a dream.

She stood in the center of the sea of ​​flowers, the light of the stars shining on her, making her feel a long-lost peace.

Not far away, a girl with pure white long hair was standing in the sea of ​​flowers, with an elegant posture and a calm expression.

That's Carly's starlight.

......

"call..."

Early in the morning, Sharduo was tidying up her appearance in front of the mirror with a nervous look on her face.

She carefully combed each strand of light green hair smoothly, and pinned the bun and small decorations exactly where they should be, meticulously.

After that, she tied a small bow on her chest, then stood up, opened the curtains and faced the morning sun.

The bow is still the same bow.

“…”

By the window, Sharduo gently stroked the light golden bow, trying to calm her mind and recalling Ashlia's every move.

Even after all this time, she still sets aside an hour every morning just to be able to speak and move like Ashlia.

She already had an independent personality and her own style of doing things. This imitation of Ashlia was not a manifestation of conservatism or fear, but more like an obsession.

Sharduo felt that if she did this, Ashlia would still be a part of her.

She survived in another way.

"..."

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door. Sharduo turned around and answered softly:

"I'm done."

After hearing her answer, the door of the room was pushed open. Rui Yin, wearing silver armor, walked in and looked at the girl in the room with a smile:

"Good morning, Your Majesty."

"Good morning, Ryan," Ashlia smiled gently, calmly and elegantly, "I don't have classes today. What's my schedule?"

"In the morning, there is a small meeting at the Representative Council, and you need to be present," Ryan explained. "As for the afternoon, Miss Philos has decided to leave in the afternoon. Do you want to see her off?"

"She's leaving so soon?" Ashlia was a little surprised. "I thought...she would stay for at least three or four days..."

For Perlis, that guy has done everything...

Having just escaped from the clutches of the Federation, he was so anxious to go to E-Tran that he didn't even have time to rest...

I have to do my part as well...Aishiliya thought.

"Does the airship have any spare capacity?"

"Yes, yes. Let me think... Ah, there is only one boat left that has not been put into service yet. It is reserved for you to use when you go to the wasteland to negotiate with the scavengers next time."

"It's okay. We can go there by car," Ashilia said. "Give the airship to Miss Philos and take her to Hillster as soon as possible. The ground border of E-Tran is not peaceful now, and she may be involved."

"Is it okay? If we go to the wilderness by car, the road will be bumpy and tiring."

"It doesn't matter. I have to do something." Ashlia smiled gently. "Then let's go to the representative meeting."

"Please wait a moment. I have something else to show you."

Having said this, Ryan walked into the room, took out a power-shaped device from his waist, and handed it to Ashlia.

"This is a projection device that Dr. Grice copied overnight yesterday. It can replicate your projection. It is said to be a preventive measure."

Ashlia took the device, played with it for a while, and then pressed it gently:

"Om-"

Blue lights lit up around the device, and illusory afterimages pieced together in mid-air, soon transforming into the appearance of Ashlia.

"Amazing..." Ashlia exclaimed sincerely, "It must be Miss Carly who gave him some guidance, right?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Grace is a science and engineering geek, he wouldn't think so far," Ashilia covered her mouth and smiled, "Yesterday Miss Carly asked me about things related to Edisi. It should be for my sake, to prevent anyone from taking action against me."

"So that's how it is. That little girl is quite smart..."

Ruiyin smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"But, I am enough to protect Her Majesty the Queen."

"It's better to be safe than sorry. It's always good to have an extra layer of insurance."

Ashlia looked at Ryan, who was obviously a little jealous, and smiled softly:

"Without further ado, it's time to go to the representative meeting. Let's go."

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

The one-armed old knight leaned down gently, saluted to Ashlia, and extended a hand.

Looking at that hand, a smile appeared on Ashlia's lips, and then she placed her little hand on that hand.

It has been fifteen years since I got here.

......

"Well..."

Early in the morning, Carly sat up from the recliner in the Deep Diving Cradle and rubbed her eyes.

My mind is a little confused, but surprisingly clear, without the muddled feeling I had before.

By the way...how come it's already morning...

Carly rubbed her eyes and looked toward the window: the sunlight was broken into strips by the blinds, shining on the messy equipment in the laboratory. Speckles of dust floated in the light, like a fairyland out of the world.

In this atmosphere, Carly slowly sat up, rubbed her head, looked at the operating table beside her, and saw Grace sleeping there: he was lying on the operating table without taking off his glasses, and he was obviously so tired that he fell asleep.

On the screen in front of Grace, Carly saw the structural diagram of "The Man in the Mirror" - Grace spent an entire night and successfully replicated Lian's masterpiece.

Why is this guy suddenly trying so hard?

By the way, I don’t need to sleep in the [Deep Diving Cradle] for so long... Is this thing meant to let me have a good rest and help me clear out distracting thoughts and unstable mental impurities?

What a thoughtful fellow student...

Carly slowly walked to Grace's side and pulled his coat up to cover his shoulders.

"I'm leaving this afternoon. I don't know when we'll meet next time."

Carly smiled gently. Who wouldn't be happy to have such a hard-working young man?

"Next time, give me more surprises."

After saying that, Carly stretched out her arm, letting dots of blue light fall on the table next to Grace, leaving a message inside.

It’s better not to wake this guy up. Leave him a message and contact him next time.

By the way...I'll leave the surveillance rights of that old witch Adisi to him. I hope he won't use it to do anything weird.

This guy is already in his twenties, and he doesn't seem to have anyone he likes...so weird...

"..."

After that, Carly made herself a cup of coffee as if she were at home, took two sandwiches from Grace's refrigerator, and enjoyed breakfast in the morning sunshine.

After she had almost recovered, she packed up all her things and left Grace's laboratory.

Before closing the door, she took a last look at her junior who was sleeping at the table and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
