Her previous calmness was all pretended. In fact, Su Yao felt like she was burning from the inside out - it was a burning sensation that penetrated deep into her bones, making her feel like every step she took was like stepping on cotton.
Do you want to back out after just one use? No! You can't back out!
Su Yao took a deep breath, stood still, and fought against the burning sensation.
I have to go have dinner with Perlis and Carly... I promised to treat them...
I have made a promise with so many people...
"..."
Amid the crowds of people passing by on the streets of Chaoqu City, the girl stood alone, adjusting her breathing.
She is like a drop of water in the vast ocean of people, small and crystal clear.
......
After coming down from Wanglong Pavilion, Perlis has been a little dazed.
She had countless fantasies about the sender from the other side, and even thought for a moment that the sender might be Ikan Geller, the poet who had not appeared for a long time.
However, the sender of the letter was actually Yi Qian, the leader of the [Three Sisters] and a follower of [Mother Goddess Ersa].
Just like the moment when water drips through stone has finally arrived, Perlis clearly saw the path that was arranged for her.
For all this, she had only one question: Why did the Three Sisters want to watch over human civilization?
Yi Qian described humans as ants without hesitation, and Perlis didn't seem to have any feelings for the city she protected.
She is more like a cold-blooded executor, standing alone on top of a tall building, carrying out some long-lost mission.
Just like Ibuki Rin, she hides in the shadows of human civilization, watching everything with cold eyes and only taking action when necessary.
Is that their destiny? And what do they think of their destiny?
"Little White Flower...don't even think about it~"
After being patted twice on the face, Perlis came to her senses and found that Carly across the table was looking at her with a smile.
At this moment, the two were in a hotel in the center of Chaoqu City - the meeting place agreed with Su Yao.
"Thinking too much will make you stupid."
"Why? Isn't it true that if you don't think, you will become stupid?"
"Thinking is only meaningful if you have enough knowledge," Carly said seriously. "If you don't have enough knowledge, you will just think about it and it will go astray. Remember the guy who attacked Miss Sweet?"
Yeah... Carly has a point. We don't have enough clues at the moment, so there's no point in thinking too much.
No matter what the reason was for Yi Qian to guide Perlis, she had already determined the next target [Black Dead Zone].
"However, as for the [Black Dead Zone]... I didn't find any information about this place. It might be military encrypted information."
Under the protection of Perlis's mental barrier, Carly also saw the images provided by Yi Qian through the ancient divine language, and saw the laboratory.
"Think of something positive. At least our goal is clear, isn't it?"
"Yeah." Perlis nodded.
At this time, the door of the hotel opened and a figure wrapped in bandages walked in - it was Su Yao.
"Wow, I'm starving. Let's eat."
Su Yao sat down at the table of Perlis and Carly, picked up the menu without hesitation, and began to think:
"I want to eat four-joy meatballs, steamed pork, braised lamb, Chaoqu roast duck, plum blossom scallops, eat, eat, eat, eat..."
She quickly checked the items on the menu, while Carly looked at the blood-stained gauze on her head and arms with concern and asked:
"Su Yao, are you... okay?"
"Well, that's all for now! More will come later!" Su Yao handed the menu to the waiter, then turned to Carly, "Hmm? Are you talking about these injuries? It's okay, it's okay, in fact, it should have healed, look!"
As she spoke, Su Yao took off the gauze in front of Carly - there was no wound.
"how do you..."
"Let me keep a little secret," Su Yao winked at Perlis with full energy, "Ahaha... How are you guys doing? Have you seen the sender?"
"Yes," Perlis did not ask any further questions, "He is the second seat of the [Protector of the Great Wall]."
"Wow! You actually saw that person?" Su Yao was a little surprised. "It is said that even the [Symbolic Society] finds it difficult to see her. It turns out that this is a signal they sent to you..."
"Is it difficult to see the [Symbolic Society]?" Perlis and Carly looked at each other.
"Yes, she basically only appears when there is a major crisis in Chaoqu City, and there has only been one such major crisis recorded."
"The time with the Black Dragon?" Carly said.
"Yes, at that time, the [Sky Eye] was not perfect enough, and the reaction time was a little slow. If it weren't for her sword, Chaoqu might have been destroyed by the [Black Dragon] that suddenly appeared."
Su Yao said, picked up the carbonated drink served by the waiter, took a sip, and sighed with satisfaction.
"It was during that time that Yi Qian's support among the people increased a lot. People called her the Dragon-Breaking Sword, the guardian of the capital."
"But after that, few people saw her anymore, and on the rare occasions when she was seen, she was standing on a hundred-foot-high building."
5) Three Sisters (Part 13)
The food in Chaoqu City is quite unique and fascinating, but Perlis can hardly eat it.
She always felt that something was not right. The prosperity around her seemed a little fake to her, which made her subconsciously more alert.
Su Yao told Perlis and Carly about a case she had just experienced: a researcher set up a strange ritual at home and opened a passage to the underworld. If Su Yao had come a little later, something would probably have come out of there.
What made her dissatisfied was that the Chaoqu police were not prepared at all.
"If I hadn't come, how many people would have died..."
Su Yao's tone did not contain any blame, but a hint of loss.
Perlis knew why - the soldier from the border originally thought that Chaoqu would be a brand new place of challenge, but he ended up in such an environment where everyone was lazy.
What surprised Perlis even more was that someone in Chaoqu City actually tried to open the passage to the underworld. You know, this is the most prosperous area in the entire Qilang, and what it lacks the least is abundant material conditions.
With the Qilang military strictly eliminating the Black Tide Cult, infiltration from the outside is basically impossible. The biggest possibility is that, like the Jingshui Lake incident, the cult opened the channel by brainwashing and winning over the residents.
Born in paradise, he was still tempted by the snake and ate the forbidden fruit.
Su Yao was right. Although the physical Great Wall was very strong, the spiritual Great Wall was still a major weak point.
"I got the hard drive from his computer, it was encrypted," Su Yao said, taking out a small disk, "I didn't give it to the police, they may forget about it soon."
"Can you show it to me?" Carly said.
"of course can."
Su Yao handed the hard drive to Carly, and after just a few minutes of pondering, Carly successfully connected to the hard drive using [Shihai] and ran the decoding program.
"Is the invasion system of [Rain Barrier] also effective against [Poetry Sea]?" Perlis was a little surprised.
"What else? It's just a matter of changing a few interfaces," Carly said calmly, "Tsk tsk, your Qilang people's database is simply a mess... Can this be called encryption?"
Just half an hour later, Carly unlocked the information on the hard drive and began to read it:
"This guy is from the Qilang Research Institute... He is a standard intellectual. He studies the factor circulation theory. He seemed to have great prospects before."
"Well, his neighbor mentioned it," Su Yao nodded, "Anything else?"
"There are also several letters from the Black Tide Cult. We can trace back to their source and find their location, but this will probably take some time and require your database."
Carly returned the hard drive to Su Yao, saying that she could do nothing about it for the time being and that she needed to at least connect to the local database.
"Give it to your headquarters. I have finished the most difficult decoding. Let them do the rest of the manual work."
"I understand. Thank you, Miss Carly," Su Yao smiled happily, "Do you have any plans tonight?"
"I kind of want to go to the industrial park of [Poetry Sea] to have a look," Carly said, glancing at Perlis beside her, "but forget it, she should want to sleep."
"It's okay, I can go with you." said Perlis.
"No, no, let's go another day. We have to travel tomorrow," Carly rubbed Perlis's head, "Ms. Su Yao, if I'm not mistaken, you should have a letter to deliver?"
"Ha, you guessed right," Su Yao nodded, "Hongyang Palace will call a meeting tomorrow afternoon."
"Who summoned you?"
"【Sky Eye】, Chief of 【Great Wall Guard】, General Yan Chu."
As Su Yao spoke, the man who sat in Qi Lang's seat during the tripartite meeting appeared in Perlis' mind.
I'm on the same path my mother has walked before...
"Did you tell me the purpose of calling the meeting?" Carly continued to ask.
"Of course, they need to know what Yi Qian said," Su Yao smiled helplessly, "Yi Qian will not talk to them. In fact, the second seat of [Protector of the Great Wall] was just given to her by them. She never asked for anything."
"Given your position, do you think they will embarrass us?" Carly asked, "Just be honest. We can accept any answer."
Su Yao thought for a moment, then answered:
"No, Yi Qian's suggestion is highly valued. Although we don't know what she said yet, the Qilang military will definitely assist you."
"She told us to go to the [Black Dead Zone]," Perlis said, "Does Miss Su Yao know this place?"
"Ahaha...it seems...I don't know..." Su Yao shook her head apologetically, "My level is too low, woo..."
Su Yao looked a little lonely, and Perlis couldn't bear it, so she comforted her:
"You lead the way for us tomorrow, and we'll go together and let them tell you."
Su Yao is so hardworking and upright, she should have a better position to display her talents, Perlis thinks so.
Hearing what Perlis said, Su Yao's eyes clearly had a glimmer of brilliance, but soon calmed down:
"Okay, I'll do my best."
......
After dinner, Su Yao went to report to the military headquarters in Chaoqu City, while Perlis, led by Carly, came to a hotel recommended by [Shihai] and successfully checked in luxuriously with the living expenses provided by Tianshifa.
The bathtub in the hotel room was very big, probably the largest one in all the hotels where Perlis had stayed, so she was pressed by Carly into it and they soaked together for half an hour. After coming out of the water, both of them felt dizzy and didn't want to move after lying on the bed.
"..."
Carly hugged Perlis and brought up the holographic page of "Sea of Poetry" above them. Perlis watched Carly operate the web page and browse the information on the Internet.
"【Blue Sky Fortress】 has completely cleared the black tide ecology around the Great Wall, and the outer roads are gradually recovering..."
Carly muttered while showing a disdainful expression:
"Come on, let's make a bet. In fact, the Kuroshio ecosystem has not been completely cleared. It will only become more and more. Do you believe it?"
"I believe you," Perlis raised her neck lazily, "The Lord of the Black Tide is here."
"But it is understandable. At times like this, people's hearts are more likely to be scattered. Add to that the recent infiltration of the Black Tide Cult in the mainland... who knows what will happen if public opinion is allowed to run wild."
Carly said as she closed all the images and rubbed Pearlis's face.
"Well... no more rubbing... I'm sleepy..."
"Are you okay? When Yi Qian mentioned the word 'fate' today, your expression wasn't very cute."
Carly looked at Pearlis in her arms with concern, a little worried about this taciturn person who liked to keep her emotions to herself.
Pearlis' eyes flashed, and for a moment, she wanted to tell Carly about Ikan Geller's prophecy and share her inner anxiety with her.
She opened her mouth, but in the end no words came out.
Being worried about prophecies and fate is not what a smart person should think at all.
Carly must have told me not to take it to heart, but she was thinking about it all the time, which only added to her psychological burden.
So, Pearlis didn't tell Carly, but just held her hand tightly.
She felt the hand quickly return her grip with the same strength, and a sense of security rose in her heart, instantly dispelling all her uneasiness.
As her consciousness gradually faded, Perlis recalled her last conversation with Yi Qian:
"Does destiny really exist?"
"If you believe in it, it exists."
I don't believe it. Perlis thought to herself and closed her eyes peacefully.
Even though the irresistible force had pushed her so far in the story, she didn't think now was the time to accept her fate.
