"call..."
Carly took a deep breath, opened the door with the key, and quickly closed and locked it.
After a series of quick operations, she turned around and prepared to close the curtains, but heard an elegant voice coming -
"Dr. Philos, I've heard a lot about you."
At some point, a gentleman wearing a top hat and an elegant black suit sat down at Carly's table and gently pushed his silver-framed glasses on his hooked nose.
He stared at Carly with a half-smile, a coin flipping rapidly between his gloved fingertips.
The moment she looked into his eyes, Carly recognized him——
——【Black Angel】Suleiman Agust, Chief of 【Blade of Babel】.
......
6) Black Angel (Part 5)
On the north coast, swarms of fish swarmed onto the shore, their pitch-black claws and barbs dragging hideous trails on the sand.
The workers fled and screamed, and arrays of police blocked every intersection leading to the inner city, but were torn apart in an instant when the dark school of fish passed by.
Those strange creatures, half human, half fish, and composed of dark bones, came ashore under the drive of some irresistible force, tearing open the rain curtain of Hillster, and re-presenting the true appearance of the world that was once submerged under the sea.
——Wherever they are, there is the sea.
"Creak, creak, creak -"
Amid the ear-splitting sound of bones rubbing against each other, the entire port area was soon submerged by the dark school of fish, turning into a pile of meat and debris.
On the edge of the dilapidated red brick roof, an old fisherman who had lost half of his body was sitting precariously, staring with empty eyes at everything that suddenly surged out from the sea.
In his deep voice he sang the dark nursery rhyme of the past:
"A sailor walked onto the Black Island..."
"A butcher walked onto the Black Isle..."
"A hunter walked onto the Black Isle..."
All this happened so suddenly that it instantly shattered the dull atmosphere that had lasted for a hundred years in the port of Hillsted and once again awakened the fear of the sea in human genes.
They should not have sailed.
"Their boats are black..."
"Their shadows are black..."
"In the end...their...smiles..."
Before the old fisherman finished singing, his body swayed and he fell from the eaves and fell into the school of fish swarming on the street.
The black liquid spread like poison on the streets of the port area and was about to enter the inner city of Hillsten.
At this moment, four or five lightning-like roars exploded in the sky—
"boom--"
All the "fish" raised their heads almost instinctively, and saw white lightning bursting above the dark cloudy sky, illuminating the gray clouds.
Among the semi-transparent clouds, three or four dark shadows were flying at high speed.
"Bam—"
......
"Ding--"
While looking at Carly, [Black Angel] Suleiman Agust threw the coin on his fingertips high up and caught it again.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the result of the coin, then smiled elegantly at Carly and said:
"Is there anything you want to say to me, Miss Fellowes?"
Looking at Suleiman who suddenly appeared, Carly's brain almost went blank for a moment, and her legs kept shaking.
She knew that the well-mannered gentleman in front of her was the murderer who stabbed Perlis' heart with a dagger.
And she knew even more that she had no chance of winning at all.
"..."
Carly clenched her fists tightly, suppressed the anger and unwillingness in her heart, and tried to calm herself down.
His presence here means that he knows my whereabouts and roughly knows my purpose and intention.
In other words, both Chadwick Smith's death and the thing that surged up from the shore were controlled by him.
Why can he do this? Is it because... it has something to do with Perlis...
"call..."
Carly took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Suleiman saw all of this. He smiled gently as a polite gentleman, then turned his hand and produced a silver dagger from his fingertips like a magic trick:
"You can't escape your own shadow, Miss Fellowes."
The meaning of this sentence is obviously "If I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago." Carly understood this, so she did not hesitate any longer and spoke softly:
"what do you want to do?"
"Chatting with you and dealing with some troubles," Suleiman said with a half-smile, "Look, the fish have been landed, and the star fire is about to go out."
He was talking about Perlis... This means Perlis is indeed not dead... Carly clenched her fists lightly, and then spoke calmly:
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
"I want to talk about that thing in your brain."
Suleiman tapped his temple with his slender fingertips and curled his lips elegantly:
"Ice Storm, huh? Something that can give Laplace a headache is very special."
How did he know... Carly's eyes narrowed slightly, but she quickly replied calmly:
"The mechanism and logic of [Ice Storm] have already penetrated almost all concepts related to the 'system' in the Federation. What I have in my brain is just one of the active triggers."
"How can I cancel it?" Suleiman smiled elegantly, "As far as I know, simply killing you will trigger the Cradle."
"You can remove the Cradle," Carly replied cooperatively, "but you also have to kill me. After that, there is only a half-hour limit, otherwise the Ice Storm will still destroy most of the Federation's power grid facilities."
"Very creative means." Suleiman nodded with satisfaction. "They rely too much on you, which gives you an opportunity."
"What about you, [Dark Angel]," Carly said calmly, "Are you going to kill me?"
Based on her previous experience in the forge, Carly knew that as soon as she entered the room, she would not be able to maintain control of the little birds.
The same is true for the [Cradle System]. In other words, the moment she walked into the room, the [Cradle] was no longer visible.
I'm completely caught... If Suleiman kills me, Laplace will have half an hour to remove the Ice Storm. I have to assume that he has already made preparations for this situation. It means that I have completely fallen into his trap...
No, why didn't they do this when I was brainwashed? I don't understand why that guy is...
Carly shook her head slightly, putting all these thoughts aside.
Suleiman seemed to be very happy to see Carly being tortured by her thoughts. After more than ten seconds, he spoke elegantly:
"You worked really hard... You escaped here by yourself."
"You don't understand, Agent," Carly said calmly, "You are just a lackey to carry out Laplace's intentions."
"Oh, Dr. Fellowes, if you say that, we have a big misunderstanding..."
Suleiman smiled softly and looked out the window briefly, with a hint of indifference in his silver eyes.
"Laplace and I are just a trading relationship, understand? We each get what we need, just like you and Pure White Fireworks..."
"You..." Carly frowned.
"What else? It only took you a few months to break out of your mental prison, but you never told her the truth in all these years?"
The smile on Suleiman's face became more and more obvious, like a hunter teasing his prey.
"Smart people all have their quirks, Dr. Fellowes, you just don't want to believe it..."
"Nonsense, you don't understand anything!"
Carly said loudly, reaching towards her waist, trying to touch the steam revolver loaded with [Thorn] bullets.
We must resist, only resistance can...
"..."
However, before Carly's hand even stretched out a few centimeters, she found that Suleiman had stood up at some point.
This elegant gentleman was holding a revolver engraved with black patterns in his hand, with the muzzle stained with red light, pointing it at Carly's forehead.
How could it be...Carly's eyes widened at that moment.
"Good night, Dr. Fellowes."
Suleiman smiled elegantly and gently held the edge of his hat:
"Reunite with her."
There was not even time to react, not even time to beg for mercy.
At the moment Suleiman pulled the trigger, a red light shot out from the revolver and hit Carly's forehead -
"Pfft!"
Her head exploded like a watermelon, her broken body trembled slightly, and then she fell on her back on the ground, motionless.
6) Black Angel (Part 6)
Looking at Carly's headless body, Suleiman smiled elegantly, his silver eyes tinged with ink.
"It's a shame you never like to follow the rules, Dr. Fellowes."
[Black Angel] narrowed his eyes. Under his gaze, Carly's headless body gradually disintegrated and broke apart, turning into a stream of energy composed of blue light and dissipating.
——This is just an illusion!
At this moment, in the alley next to the hotel, Carly's eyes regained focus and she let out a deep breath.
She never entered the hostel by herself from beginning to end, but used the [Man in the Mirror] modified by Lian's technology to create a phantom in the alley to explore the way!
Since the "Man in the Mirror" created an energy body, even though it was blocked by that strange stance, it lasted for a while in front of Suleiman.
In this way, she successfully avoided a threat.
But it wasn't over yet. Carly had already guessed that she would be trapped in the room, so she had made preparations in advance when she arrived at the hostel.
"Clap!"
"boom!"
The moment Carly pressed the detonation button, the factor energy bomb that she had previously placed in the drawer of the hotel exploded. Flames burst out from the window, shattering all the nearby windows.
Suleiman was very close to the table, so this blow was sure to hit him no matter what.
But Carly still didn't relax. She quickly waved her sleeves, spreading blue light in the dark alley.
Almost immediately, she felt a faint buzzing sound behind her and turned her head, just in time to see the elegant gentleman rising from the shadows of the alley.
There was not a single scratch on Suleiman Agust's body, and there was not even a speck of dust on his elegant black evening dress.
He pushed up his glasses on his hooked nose and murmured in an elegant voice:
"I told you... you can't escape your own shadow, Miss Fellowes..."
[Black Angel] raised the engraved revolver in his hand again and pulled the trigger——
"boom--"
A red light blasted out, and Carly suddenly activated [Star Track] and turned her head to avoid it.
At the same time, she pulled out the two pistols from her waist and fired at Suleiman:
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang——"
After a round of strafing, the bullets were dragged down by the gravity created by the shadows on the ground in the alley before they even touched Suleiman and were completely swallowed up.
