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

"Zizzizi..."

The mechanical device was emitting electric sparks. Its factor energy storage device was obviously lacking in energy on the Black Tide Land. Perlis released some of the destructive factors in the bracelet and let the device absorb them.

Soon, the door of the laboratory began to rumble.

It turns out that the technology of the previous era is completely dependent on factor energy...even opening a door is driven by factor energy. It is no wonder why the [Great Union] continues to create more drilling rigs.

The growth of demand and dependence has led to a path from which there is no turning back.

"..."

The door of the laboratory opened, and the ancient wind blew out from inside, lifting the hair of Pearlis and Carly.

They looked at each other, and Carly summoned the Little Bird to quickly scan the internal structure:

"Let's go, the path has been established."

Carly finished speaking, Perlis nodded, and the two began to move forward into the deep darkness.

......

"It looks like it's almost over."

At the edge of the Wulan Combat Center, colorful lights flashed in Yan Chu's black eyes.

His vision was flexibly divided into hundreds of pieces, which were the vision transmitted back by Qi Lang units in various parts of the battlefield.

This is how Yan Chu evaluates and analyzes the entire battle situation by grasping the details on the battlefield. Most people would feel dazzled even if they looked at hundreds of screens, not to mention dividing their vision into hundreds of pieces.

But Yan Chu was able to remain calm in this situation and grasp every detail clearly.

This is why he is called the Sky Eye.

"..."

Yan Chu was observing every corner of the battlefield quickly. He was like a virtual ghost wandering above the battlefield. His sight suddenly looked down at the earth from high above, and then galloped along with the dust and sand.

However, after several observations, Yan Chu discovered some problems——

——The retreat of the [Black Tide Herd] did not begin from the moment the [Black Khan] died.

Admittedly, the current battle situation is a complete victory, but after Yan Chu calculated the distance and speed of the farthest Blackwater unit's escape, he discovered a blind spot.

Those monsters apparently began to flee before the Black Khan died, first a small number, and then more and more.

The death of [Black Khan] was only one of the reasons why these black water entities retreated. There must be other reasons.

And the one who can make the Black Tide Herd retreat is unlikely to be one of them...

Could it be a follower of the Black Angel? No... The Earth Vein seemed to be a follower of the Black Angel at first, but it sided with the herd...

But this is most likely just a way to muddy the waters, with the aim of making the Qilang military believe that the [Black Angel] and the [Black Khan] have formed an alliance, so that they will relax their vigilance after a phased victory.

After a series of deductions, Yan Chu determined that there was only one reason why the Black Tide Herd fled early -

——A more powerful unit that is hostile to the herd is approaching this side rapidly.

Its existence is so powerful that even with the presence of the [Black Khan], its followers have to retreat, which means that it is more powerful than the Khan.

"...!"

Yan Chu seemed to realize something. He immediately opened the communication and ordered:

"【Blue Sky Fortress】, raise altitude and start returning. Execute immediately."

"Received. [QL-101 Blue Sky Fortress] is on its way back."

In front of the huge glass in the gunboat cockpit, several pilots nodded and quickly raised the height of the [Blue Sky Fortress].

What they didn't expect was that General Yan Chu's order saved their lives.

Because just a few seconds after it rose, a huge shadow descended from the sky.

"Buzzing..."

It was some kind of supreme being that was above everything else. Before anyone could react, a huge dark shadow suddenly emerged fiercely from the shadows between the clouds.

"boom!"

The pitch-black dragon turned into a meteor and instantly passed right below the [Blue Sky Fortress]. The hurricane it created made the body of the aerial gunboat tremble unsteadily.

If the gunboat had been any lower at this point, it would have been destroyed.

At the same time, all units on the ground observed the existence that came out from between the clouds - it was a dragon at least a hundred meters long, and it was roaring.

It instantly blocked out the sun, circling around, plunging the ground into darkness like a solar eclipse.

——That was the black dragon, the black dragon that once shrouded Chaoqu City.

......

11) Engraved Ink (Part 2) -4k chapter-

"Huh... the air here is so bad..."

Under the faint blue light, Carly and Pearlis walked slowly through the corridor of the laboratory.

What surprised the two was that the interior of the laboratory was not eroded too much by the black tide, but maintained its original appearance - modern corridors, furnishings, and exhaust ducts above, but it seemed to have been sealed by the black water outside, causing the air to be very turbid.

Apart from the fact that it was dark, Perlis didn't feel like this was an abandoned place.

She even wondered if she and Carly had entered the [underworld] the moment they entered the laboratory, just like they had in school. So, Perlis tried to tear open the space crack with a butterfly knife, and found that there was a red light inside.

Obviously, this is their original world.

"This place doesn't look like a place where the [Engraved Ink] is hidden," Perlis murmured, "It looks more like... an ordinary research facility like the [Academy]?"

"But Yi Qian clearly said that the Eternal Wall is hidden here," Carly frowned, "She has no reason to lie to us."

"What are the results of the scan?" Perlis turned to look at Carly.

"This is also very strange... There is no dead zone with little birds, which means there is no erosion from the [Nether], but according to the current modeling results, this is really just an ordinary laboratory..."

"Um..."

"There's an...office area up ahead," Carly's retinas flashed blue light, "We should be able to find some clues."

"Let's go."

After the two walked forward cautiously for a distance, a translucent glass door appeared in front of them, which looked quite modern.

Carly pressed the key on the identifier next to the door, and with a "beep", the door slowly opened.

Pearls and Carly walked into the office area, which looked like a chemistry laboratory. Many chemical instruments that Pearls could not understand were placed on the table. The samples under the microscope had solidified and could not be recognized.

"There's no one here..." Carly frowned, "Strange... Did they all... evacuate?"

"It's possible," Perlis murmured, "Carly, look over there."

Looking in the direction of Pearl's finger, Carly saw a door in the corner of the chemistry laboratory, which seemed to lead to an independent office.

And on the nameplate of the door, the three words "Shansen Sakura" were clearly written.

"What...?"

Perlis and Carly slowly walked to the side of the door and looked at the names belonging to Aoi and Lian's parents in disbelief.

Sakura Sugimori...is a staff member in this pre-era studio?

No... this is unlikely... Shouldn't this laboratory have been abandoned after Judgment Day? Then why would a teacher who came to the countryside to teach be a staff member here? And he seems to have a very high status.

"Unless..." Carly muttered.

"This is the real reason why she came to Lulintun to teach..." Pearlis continued.

"This is originally an experimental facility controlled by the Qilang government..." Carly frowned.

"Perhaps it was taken over from the Qilang government before the collapse of the previous era," Perlis murmured, "some very important research was originally being carried out here, but an accident eventually occurred..."

"This accident was caused by Sakura Shanmori?" Carly pinched her chin.

"It should be related to the eruption of the drilling platform..." said Perlis.

"Did she do that on purpose?"

Not necessarily. Although everything seen in the netherworld of the school showed that it was all related to Sakura Shanmori, she didn't look like someone who would let the black tide submerge everything for any reason.

"Let's go in and take a look," Carly suggested.

"Ah."

As Perlis spoke, she inserted the butterfly knife into the door lock. The strong factor on the silver blade could melt the door lock in an instant, causing crackling sparks.

Perlis pushed open the door and entered Sakura Shanmori's office.

The office looks very tidy overall, with books on the bookshelves and the desks neatly arranged, everything is in order.

But on the ground, Perlis saw a broken cup. It was obvious that it was broken by Sakura Shansen when she left in a hurry because of something.

It has been more than ten years since anyone cleaned up the broken pieces.

"..."

Carly quickly used the "Little Birds" to scan the books on the bookshelf to check if there were any secret compartments. The answer was no. Most of the books were regular research books and could not reflect the research intentions of this laboratory.

And Perlis walked to Sakura Shansen's desk and looked at everything on the table.

Her eyes quickly locked onto a photo frame, and she exclaimed:

"Carly! Come and see!"

Carly immediately walked to the side of Pearlis, looked over there, and took a deep breath.

In the picture, Sakura Shanmori is hugging a petite girl and smiling. Next to her, a more dignified girl is holding her mother's skirt and also smiling at the camera.

With just one glance, Perlis and Carly recognized the two little girls - they were Lian and Aoi.

"As expected..." Perlis murmured.

"Ren and Aoi once spent a long part of their lives here," Carly pondered, "but they forgot everything."

"This means that the secrets in the laboratory are very important," Pearlis analyzed.

"And the Federation people who brainwashed Aoi and Rei must also know this secret," Carly clapped her hands lightly, "See if there is anything else."

The two searched in Sakura Shanmori's office, but in the end they did not find any evidence that could indicate the true research intention of this laboratory.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this seems to be just an ordinary laboratory, studying some things about chemistry and biology.

But Carly noticed something was not right - the documents in Sakura Shanmori's research materials were too superficial and did not look like something a deep researcher would read.

It was almost like some kind of superficial project to conceal her true intentions.

After telling Perlis this conclusion, she frowned slightly and said:

"Remember that voice you heard at school... the one that said it could grant our wishes?"

"I remember..." Carly's eyes were a little evasive, "Sakura Shanmori and the principal also said that she heard those noises. Didn't we think that she opened the drilling platform because she was tempted?"

"Hmm...but that doesn't seem to be the case."

Perlis's eyes fell on the keys on Carly's chest - these three keys came from Zu Chumen, the Black Angel and the Black Tide Cult respectively.

Except for the first two keys which are in the hands of the Federation, the Black Tide Cult, which holds the last key, were once students taught by Sakura Shanmori and were with her when the drilling erupted.

This means that one of the keys does belong to Sakura Shanmori.

Under the premise that all three keys point to the same laboratory, the purposes of the three people holding the keys are likely to overlap.

...From the conversation with the principal, we know that Shansen Ying's goal is to give those rural children a better life...

...Zu Chumen's goal should be tied to the Federation people, that is to find [Engraved Ink]...

Could it be that this laboratory wants to find the [Engraving Ink] and then change the current situation?

No, it's impossible. Perlis immediately rejected this idea.

She didn't think that Zu Chumen and Shan Senying, the two researchers of Qilang, knew about [Engraved Ink] at that time, at least it was impossible for Shan Senying to know it.

Then, there is only one possibility left -

"The purpose of this laboratory is to enter the [Eternal Wall], the residence of the Mother Goddess Ersa."

When Perlis finished her deduction, the air fell into deathly silence.

Carly, who had been distracted just now, suddenly came to her senses and covered her mouth:
