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

4) Mountain Temple (Part 2)

The morning in Qingcheng is full of life, just like a girl who just woke up and added some firewood to the stove while yawning, igniting the vitality of the world.

Riding on a small raft, Perlis and her group arrived at the northern city area and stepped onto the solid streets paved with white bricks.

Black roof, white bricks and tiles, roosters crowing everywhere, and people get up and dance when they hear the cock crow.

The curls of smoke from the cooking stoves rose into the clouds, and the aroma of the fireworks rolled into clouds, drifting through the streets and alleys.

On the roadside, street vendors were calling out for a new day's business, and children were running in groups on the street, carrying baskets on their backs. Their swaying little hands pushed aside the steam from the bun shops, like little birds flapping their wings among the clouds.

Tianshi led Polys and Carly to sit down in front of a breakfast shop on the street. Due to the heavy business in the morning, street shops usually set up a few more tables at the door. As long as it doesn't rain, it is quite comfortable to sit at the door.

Soon, Tianshi ordered the food with ease:

"Three bowls of mixed noodles, please. As for the soup... what would you two like to drink? Oh... you don't know much about it, so why not drink the same as me?"

Tianshi murmured, looking up and seeking the opinions of Pearlis and Carly.

"Let Miss Sweet make the recommendation." Carly rubbed her belly gently, feeling a little impatient.

"Okay, then three bowls of cuttlefish and pork rib soup. Just bring the clay pot."

After the waiter left, Tianshi quietly lowered her head, took out a pen and paper, and began to write something.

This young writer seems to be out of touch with the world, but he has a strong ability to control his life...

She copes well with both life and writing.

It's just... um... the battle is a bit too abstract, it would be better if I didn't curse...

"..."

While waiting, Carly was still pondering on the pages in the [Sea of ​​Poetry]. She seemed to be getting more and more proficient in operating those floating web pages, and Perlis couldn't even understand what she was doing.

Although Pearlis didn't like surfing the Internet, she still knew how to use the federal terminal, so she wasn't completely clueless.

And Carly is now operating [Poetry Sea]... It seems to be using her eyes? With some slight twists of her wrist, the pages jump very fast.

"Carly, what are you looking at?" asked Perlis curiously.

"Some news from the interior of Qilang... um... the East Great Wall was blocked, saying that the [fish] were coming ashore and had a conflict with the [wolves]. Although the authorities tried to cover up this coming ashore as seasonal migration, public opinion on the Internet doesn't seem to think so..."

"Public opinion? What do you mean?"

"Some people believe that the landing of the fish was manipulated by the Black Tide Cult."

As Carly spoke, Perlis subconsciously recalled the dark gentleman in the top hat.

In her opinion, there is only one person who can control the fish.

【Black Angel】Suleiman Agust.

Has he reached the other side? Is this his work?

"I wonder if Miss Saya got out safely..."

"..."

As they were talking, the waiter brought the three of them a dish called mixed rice noodles: a sauce made of special sauce, dried radish, and peanuts mixed with drained dry rice noodles, which smelled very fragrant.

Then, the waiter used a long-handled tool to take out three small earthenware jars from the large earthenware jar at the door of the store and placed them on the table together.

When the can was opened, the aroma of cuttlefish and pork ribs immediately overflowed, making Perlis's empty stomach move.

"This is clay pot soup. Isn't it delicious?"

Tian Shi had finished writing. She put the notebook back into her pocket and turned her gaze to Carly who was browsing the [Sea of ​​Poetry] beside her:

"Ms. Carly has learned how to operate the Internet? That's amazing."

"It's just some simple operations," Carly nodded, and then changed the subject, "I saw those people who attacked you online."

"Huh? Attack me?"

Tian Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled quietly and said:

"Ah... that's the truth... sorry... I made you feel bad..."

"No, I mentioned this mainly because I don't understand what they are talking about..."

Carly frowned and read the comments on the Internet:

"...If this is the case, then I think the author does not need to curse the self-deceiving 'I cannot see the ruled' so much, because the latter cannot understand his meaning based on such theories, and the victory of the former is therefore natural, just as the higher mind must crush the lower mind...What the hell is this? Is he an evolved higher being?"

"I don't quite understand it either?" Tian Shi smiled helplessly, "They seem to be a group of intellectuals."

"Intellectuals don't take the blame. We don't speak in a pretentious or confusing way," Carly shook her head. "The truth is simple. Even if it's complicated, it's the mission of scholars to make it understandable to everyone. Outputting a bunch of nonsense that normal people can't understand is only for the purpose of showing off and keeping to oneself."

"Ms. Carly is very knowledgeable," Tianshi nodded, "But maybe it's because I ignored these public opinions that made them angry..."

A fleeting light flashed in Tianshi's eyes. If Perlis saw it correctly, it was like a fire, extremely aggressive.

But her expression remained calm and composed, without revealing any excessive emotions:

"In the past two years, the Black Tide Cult has been very active in the interior of Qilang. There have been many black water infiltration incidents every month, causing casualties among the people."

"At the 352nd meeting of the Symbolic Council, representatives from various regions voted to pass the Anti-Kuroshio Infiltration Law, which includes a series of countermeasures, including using the Sea of ​​Poetry to track down people's whereabouts when necessary, in order to identify suspects who opened channels for the Kuroshio in the mainland."

"There were many opposing voices among the public at the time, probably including the group of people you mentioned."

"This guy's called 'Cuckoo Bird'," Carly flipped through the name of the speaker again, "Do you remember it?"

"I don't have any impression. There are a lot of them and I haven't paid attention to them."

Tian Shi shook her head, looking very helpless:

"At that time, I expressed my position on the Internet, believing that the control over bad guys should be strengthened... You know, Miss Saya's hometown, Shangshu, was destroyed because of a black tide invasion. As her friend, I don't want this kind of thing to happen more and more. Considering that I had a certain influence at the time, I would like to appeal to everyone to stay rational..."

"I saw what you said at the beginning. It wasn't anything radical," Carly said. "And then what?"

"Then... they thought I was 'supporting repression' and was a lackey of the dictator..."

Tian Shi smiled bitterly and shook her head, then adjusted the beige hat on her head:

"Under incitement, more and more people cursed me, and some of them affected my life, so I announced that I would quit the Internet and decided to devote more time to real life."

"I saw you urged people not to read negative comments," Carly frowned. "Is there anything wrong with that?"

"But the masses are uncontrollable, and Miss Pearlis should understand this very well."

Tianshi nodded to Perlis. Perlis, who had been eating with her head down, was suddenly mentioned. She raised her head and was a little surprised:

"Gu...how did you know that?"

"Because Miss Perlis also seems to be a lonely person," Tianshi's eyes seemed to be penetrating, "but you are full of enthusiasm... This means that you are essentially an enthusiastic person, but you have suffered suppression from the outside world at some time... Generally speaking, it was childhood - the age when the evil of ignorance prevails."

Tianshi's analysis shocked Perlis a little: she didn't expect that her past experiences could be completely seen through by this young writer in less than a week of getting along, with unparalleled accuracy.

Is this the kind of insight that comes with being a writer?

4) Mountain Temple (Part 3)

Seeing Perlis's slightly surprised look, Tianshi smiled and said:

"Anyway, after that round of internet turmoil, I went outside the Great Wall with Shaya. She received a mission to pick someone up on the West Coast, and that's how I got to know you guys."

After listening to Tianshi's description of her experience of being accused of a lot of things because of a few simple words, both Polys and Carly couldn't help but sigh.

As expected, no matter where you go, there are always many ignorant people, and there are definitely many people who think they are superior to others.

As for the anti-humanists who open channels for the Kuroshio inland, Perlis thinks they are too rare: what kind of human can evolve such a brain?

"This kind of people is so rare," Perlis sighed, "Even in the Federation, this kind of people are rare."

"But, Miss Tian, ​​if you speak recklessly on the Internet... is there no one to supervise you?" Carly's brows were almost twisted together, "Don't you know Miss Lou? Can't you ask her to directly identify this kind of person?"

"I didn't look for her, but after she found out about this, she immediately contacted the Great Wall Defense Force and located the leader of the cyberbullying group through the Sea of ​​Poetry."

Tian Shi said, her eyes narrowed slightly:

"He is not an intellectual. He is a waiter in an inn in Qingcheng. He has not received much education, but he likes to participate in discussions online."

"I thought it was at least a... Do you have a university or something here? Some fancy place?" Carly said.

"Yes, and I thought so at first," Tianshi shook her head, "but it's not true. That guy has little education, and his main source of knowledge is the Internet. He immerses himself in the [Sea of ​​Poetry] every day and discusses with a group of colleagues. Over time, they formed a group to discuss topics that go against the mainstream."

“Have they ever acted on it?”

"Well... the guy did it. He organized a strike."

"I can actually hear the word 'strike' in Qilang." Perlis raised her head and glanced at the prosperous vitality on the street.

"However, there were only five people, and they were kicked out. There were some physical conflicts at the time, so they were recorded. That's why Xiaolou was able to find him quickly."

After Tian Shi finished speaking, Perlis saw the corners of her mouth slightly curved at an invisible angle.

She must still despise those guys... She's just well-mannered... No, Miss Sweet doesn't have much manners when she fights... If those guys attacked her, she would probably greet them and beat them away...

"..."

Perlis saw Carly lower her head and mutter something that seemed quite aggressive, but Perlis didn't hear it clearly.

Then Carly said:

"Miss Sweet, although I know you probably don't need my comfort, you are really amazing. Don't mind these people's attacks."

"Thank you for your comfort, Miss Carly, but I'm fine," Tian Shi smiled quietly, "They can't hurt me in reality, huh."

The bloody words on the white wall, the broken glass, the threatening note, the rising and falling of his black eyes took those images into his depths and burned them all in the fire.

"It's okay if you don't mind. Come on, let's eat."

Carly said this, finally stopped poetry and started eating the bowl of mixed noodles in front of her.

"tasty...!"

Looking at Carly wolfing down the food, and then looking at her own bowl which had been emptied long ago, Perlis sighed helplessly.

Who woke up early in the morning and cried out that he was hungry, and then kept surfing the Internet after the food was served...

There is no hope for the otaku girl!

......

"Hey, what are you doing? Get to work!"

"I know, I know... Tsk..."

In an inn in the northern part of the city, Du Jun raised his middle finger to the back of the innkeeper, then put away the [Sea of ​​Poetry] page that appeared on his wrist.

He picked up the broom and swept up the debris left by the guests, cursing:

"...a bunch of trash, nothing but running dogs...low-minded..."

"...You guys don't understand at all. This shouldn't be the case..."

"...Damn it, I'm going to kill you sooner or later..."

He hated everyone - including himself. The sound of prosperity in the streets sounded like noise in his ears, and the whipping of the shopkeepers seemed to him nothing more than bloody exploitation.

He didn't like Qingcheng at all. Here, he couldn't do those great things.

He once dreamed of overthrowing all of this, and that day he and five like-minded people declared a strike, cursing the "Symbolic Meeting" and the visions that had not yet come true at the door of the store.

They beat up the shopkeeper who tried to make peace and he ended up spending six months in jail.

He hated everyone living in this era because this was not the era he wanted.

He tried to appeal to people to change all this through the Internet and put those complicated theories on the table one by one, but they were labeled as "attic in the air" by those damn low minds.

They know nothing! They cannot understand our great theory that the truth is only in the hands of a few people!

Du Jun believes that he is the one who holds the truth.
