“Haaaa…haha…”

Su Yao quickly checked her wound, and after confirming that she was fine, she turned to look at the broken mirror.

The mirror was no longer dark, and there was no longer that strange suction force. The broken lens reflected Su Yao's sweaty face.

What is that channel in the mirror...and why does it have such suction?

Is this a portal to the [Netherworld]? What is the [Black Tide Cult] planning to send into Chaoqu?

Su Yao did not come to a relatively reasonable conclusion because her thinking was interrupted before that.

The interrupted time was white and there was nothing. When she regained consciousness, her face was wet and pressed against the bathroom floor.

"Oh my god, this little kid is always doing bad things..."

Su Yao struggled to raise her head. She only saw a pair of slippers and that familiar accent——

——It was the old lady from the next door, holding a steel pipe in her hand and with a ferocious look on her face.

......

5) Three Sisters (Part 11)

Looking at the familiar face in front of her, Perlis was speechless for a moment.

Ibuki Rin? Why is she in Chaoqu?

Isn't she the second seat of [Babel Blade]? Isn't she the inner guard of [Canghuang]? Why is she here?

"..."

The girl with black hair and red eyes looked at Perlis silently. She didn't say anything, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

That smile was one that Perlis had never seen on Ibuki Rin's face. As an extension of this, Perlis realized that the temperament of the girl in front of her was completely different from that of Ibuki Rin: although both had childish and pretty faces, the temperament of the girl in front of her was more mature than that of Ibuki Rin, and the aura contained in her blood-red eyes was also deeper.

"You are not Ibuki Rin." said Perlis.

"You are very smart, [Descendant of the Flower Sea]."

The girl nodded and said softly in her voice as peaceful as the night:

"My name is Yi Qian. In the secular world, I am known as the Dragon-Breaking Sword and the second Guardian of the Great Wall."

Yi Qian raised one hand, motioning for Perlis and Carly to come to the attic together, and gave up half of her space.

Perlis and Carly did as they were told. They walked to the edge of the Wanglong Pavilion and looked at the magnificent Red Sun Palace. This huge palace was like a blazing sun on the dark horizon. Its huge body spanned the outline of the city, adding a sense of grandeur to this prosperous and peaceful city.

Perlis turned to look at Yi Qian, who was silently overlooking the city with her arms folded across her chest, looking quite chivalrous.

"Are you Ibuki Rin's...sister?" Perlis said softly.

"According to your ethical relationship, you can understand it this way," Yi Qian said calmly, "The last time we met, you were still at the [First Fire], but just now you can already bear the ancient divine language without any damage. Your growth is gratifying."

The last time we met? The time in the palace of Cang Huang?

Perlis looked at Yi Qian in surprise. She still didn't turn around. As if she knew what Perlis wanted to ask, she explained calmly:

"The three sisters are one. We were born from the earth and have never been separated."

"So are you Ibuki Rin?" Perlis was a little confused.

"Yes," Yi Qian said, "and no."

This time, Yi Qian did not continue to explain, but gave Perlis some time to chew on her own.

She didn't seem flustered. As the guardian of the prosperity before her, there was a calming sense of casualness around her.

"..."

After a brief pause, Perlis raised her head and continued to ask:

"Is the poem on the door left by you?"

"Just do it as I please." Yi Qian said.

“Why not just tell them what the poem means?”

"They need time to become enlightened, to realize the simple truth that only a few people understand."

"What's the point?"

"The honey that the ants are trying so hard to carry away may just be the leftovers that human children have thrown away."

Yi Qian's tone was very calm. She seemed to have no psychological burden when she called the people she protected "ants" without a trace of emotion.

These words suddenly reminded Carly of something, so she asked:

"Is the barrier on the sky also made casually?"

"No, that's a grave." Yi Qian said calmly.

"Whose grave?"

"The owner of the tomb."

"You mean... everyone on this planet?"

After Carly finished speaking, Yi Qian did not answer, but just looked up at the sky.

"Carly Fellowes, humans have never been the masters of the earth, nor has civilization, just as birds have never been the masters of trees, and fish have never been the masters of the sea. That tomb is the tomb of its master."

"Uh...Okay, let me ask it another way," Carly cleared her throat helplessly, "Who is the owner of the [Grave]?"

Facing her question, Yi Qian looked into the distance calmly, and after a long while she answered:

"No one can sleep peacefully, so the tomb has no owner."

These words completely confused Polys and Carly. They subconsciously thought that Yi Qian was fooling them, but reason forced them to think about these words.

Anyway, let’s get back to the topic.

Perlis cleared her throat and immediately asked Yi Qian:

"Why did you lead us here?"

"Because time is running out," Yi Qian said calmly, "[Engraved Ink] is closer to complete than ever before, and the past is about to return."

Perlis already knew this information - there are currently three copies of [Engraved Ink], two of which are with [Black Angel] and [Lord of the Black Tide] respectively, and the last one is somewhere in Qilang.

The reason why Laplace sent out the [Wide Area Broadcast] was to let the [Lord of the Black Tide] move towards Qi Lang, making the three copies of [Engraved Ink] closer than ever before.

"Where is the last piece of [Engraving Ink]?" Perlis blurted out.

"In the [Black Dead Zone]," Yi Qian murmured, "a restricted area for life."

Yi Qian spoke these words in the ancient divine language. In an instant, a misty scene filled the space in front of Perlis and Carly.

It was a dead zone between the mountains - the land was eroded by the black tide, and the ruins of civilization were dyed the color of the sea.

The scene progressed, and a ruined laboratory appeared in front of Perlis. Near the laboratory were patches of black swamps, with shadows in them emitting strange bubbles.

"That is where the last piece of [Engraved Ink] is located," Yi Qian said, "Our youngest sister Issa is sleeping in the temple below the laboratory. She is guarding the last piece of the authority of the Old God."

Ah...Isa, that’s my younger sister’s name, so there are three sisters in the house.

The younger sister who guards the authority of the old gods...the two older sisters who watch over the humans on both sides of the strait, are these the [Three Sisters]?

What is their origin? She said she was "born from the earth", does this mean...

As she was thinking, a name from a myth suddenly appeared in Perlis' mind, causing her to open her mouth involuntarily -

——[Mother Goddess Ersa], the mother goddess of the earth.

In an instant, the countless clues in Perlis's mind connected together:

...The strong factor can be red. The Hafurgaard tribe with blood-red eyes are followers of the [High Heaven Court]. It is very likely that Ibuki Rin and Ichin, who also have blood-red eyes, are also followers...

...In the mythological story "Son of Man, Son of God" told by Miss Mei, it is mentioned that a girl with long black hair was "born" from the eyes of the earth...

"You are..." Perlis said with some difficulty.

"Hush," Yi Qian raised her index finger, "The earth is listening."

Perlis immediately shut her mouth. After a brief pause, she squeezed out three words:

"why?"

Why did the gods' followers always protect the abandoned humans? Why did the gods' followers guide her?

Obviously, in that myth, Ursa cut the umbilical cord and fell into a deep sleep.

Faced with this question, Yi Qian simply replied:

"Because the owner of the tomb should always have a glimmer of hope."

Yi Qian still looked down at Chaoqu City calmly, her blood-red eyes reflecting the outline of the city:

"Chaoqu has been sleeping for too long in the midst of prosperity, and most of the sleeping people have forgotten where they are."

"When the sky falls, they will be annihilated in the starlight, while the Sons of Dust Stars will still be busy fighting, just like they were nineteen years ago."

Yi Qian retracted her gaze and turned to Perlis:

"Remember, the Lord of the Black Tide is far more powerful than the Black Angel. Even though the former only has 2/7 of the Engraved Ink, he was once a member of the Hafurgard tribe. He is a natural vessel of authority and possesses perfect compatibility with authority."

"You will eventually fight him to the death. This is the fate of the Hafurgaard people."

When she heard the word "fate", Perlis' eyes widened and her lips trembled invisibly.

"Does destiny really exist?" she recalled Icahn's prediction.

Faced with Perlis's question, Yi Qian did not rush to answer, but once again revealed the smile that she had when they first met.

The emotion contained in that smile was very familiar to Perlis - it was compassion.

"If you believe in it, it exists."

After saying this, Yi Qian closed her eyes and became motionless like a stone statue.

Perlis knew that her guide had given her all the instructions and now it was up to her.

......

5) Three Sisters (Part 12)

At the entrance of the apartment building, the backup police officers with guns finally arrived at the assembly point.

Since they received the "Black Water" alert issued by Su Yao, they were almost fully armed, and the factor shield was activated before entering the door.

However, before the police could open the door to the apartment building, a staggering figure walked out.

——It’s Su Yao.

Her expression was very miserable, and her arms and forehead were bandaged with blood.

Before the police could ask her anything, she threw the guy she was dragging to the ground - it was a middle-aged woman in handcuffs who had fainted.

"The Black Tide Cult, they tried to open the lower realm passage to Chaoqu City. The owner of Household No. 605 who opened the passage has turned into a black water ecosystem and has been killed by me."

"This is the owner of household 604. He attacked me and has been confirmed to be an accomplice."

Su Yao glanced at the policeman who had a bad attitude at the beginning. The guy was looking at a flower not far away with a guilty conscience and refused to look at her.

"The site is well protected. Please evacuate residents before treatment to avoid secondary contamination of black water."

Su Yao was about to leave when a police officer from the backup team stopped her:

"Are you alright? Soldier, you look badly hurt."

"It's okay," Su Yao pushed his arm away, "I'm fine."

After Su Yao finished speaking, she walked straight out of the police encirclement. Countless eyes were focused on her back, like a red-hot anvil piercing her scalp.

Without asking, Su Yao knew the meaning of those looks: A female soldier actually handled the black water infiltration incident alone?

Su Yao has gotten used to the fact that her identity as a woman has always been the reason for being questioned.

"..."

As she walked, Su Yao suddenly stopped. She held the small black ring on her wrist, and beads of sweat flowed down her forehead.

At the corner of her eye, a streak of ink spread out, then quickly shrank back.

This was the first time that Su Yao used the [Filter] from the [Black Soldier]. With this, she was able to quickly recover from the sneak attack of the [Black Tide Cult] aunt and capture her.
