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

"Then...then I...will go now?"

"Go ahead, you'd better hurry up." Perlis said, kicking the door of the room open.

The guard nodded, then brushed past Perlis and left through the door.

Before the guard disappeared, Perlis seemed to have thought of something, turned around and called him:

"Hey, you said Mayor Zu Ligui is your uncle, so what's your name?"

The guard's body trembled, he turned his head and drove Perlis hesitantly.

Then, the next words he said made Perlis' body tremble slightly:

"My name is Zu Chumen."

......

In the mayor's office, Zu Ligui was pacing back and forth, looking anxious.

From time to time, he would tap his forehead with his index finger, as if constantly reminding himself of something important.

At this moment, the mayor's secretary rushed in and shouted:

"Mayor, it's bad! That lunatic is rushing in!"

The mayor seemed to have expected this. He nodded, walked to his bookshelf, and swept a row of books to the ground.

Behind the row of books, a shotgun with intricate carvings was placed, with a box of shotgun ammunition next to it.

The mayor grabbed the shotgun, opened the ammunition box, loaded three blue-shelled shotgun shells into the shotgun, and pulled the bolt hard.

He nodded to the secretary, then left the office and walked down to the lobby.

In the hall, a dozen guards in black robes were standing in a row, pointing their guns at the figure at the gate.

The mayor looked towards the gate and saw that Aoi's body was surrounded by a high temperature light, and her long chestnut hair was spread out with the ends dyed red.

The door of the office building had been torn apart by Aoi's high temperature, leaving debris scattered all over the ground, with the edges of the fragments stained with the color of sparks.

"【Red Devil】..." The mayor's nose flared, "Hehe..."

The mayor pushed aside the crowd that was blocking him, walked to the front of Aoi, and looked at her with his head raised:

"What are you doing, stranger?"

"Give my sister back to me! I know you must have kidnapped her!"

Aoi shouted, and the scorching wind that blew out caused the air in the entire hall to fluctuate. The guards' black robes were blown up by the wind, and they subconsciously took a few steps back.

Faced with such powerful pressure from Aoi, the mayor was not afraid at all.

He took two steps forward and shouted:

"Sinner, you should have atonement long ago!"

Aoi seemed to have completely lost her mind. Her body created a gust of scorching wind and she immediately charged towards the mayor.

The mayor raised his shotgun fearlessly and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The shotgun was fired, but instead of producing a pellet, a burst of blue light appeared.

When the blue light was activated, white frost immediately condensed on the edge of the shotgun muzzle, and the hot air around it suddenly cooled down.

The blue light hit Aoi, her pupils shrank slightly, and then she staggered to her knees with icicles hanging on her body.

Seeing her fall to the ground, the guards nearby raised their weapons and pulled the trigger at Aoi.

Bullets hit Aoi one after another. Although they could not penetrate her skin, they made her weak body twist and tremble for a long time.

At this point, the mayor pulled the bolt, ejected the shell, and fired again:

"boom!"

The blue light blasted out again, and this time, Aoi fell directly to the ground, motionless.

Her eyes were closed, her face looked extremely painful, and her reddened features slowly faded away.

The mayor walked over to Aoi's fallen form, stepped on her chest, and pointed the shotgun at her head.

He didn't shoot, but just sneered and waved his hand:

"Send her over, it's about time to deal with it."

"Yes!"

......

As Perlis tore through the crack and landed on the roof, a hand immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her behind the shelter.

It was Carly. She made a "hush" gesture to Polys, signaling her not to speak.

At this moment, the two were on the roof of a building next to the town center office building. Looking from the edge, they could see the open gate of the town center.

Perlis knew what had happened there just now. On the way over, she sensed that Aoi's factor had entangled her and had returned to the center of the town.

"Why didn't you stop Aoi?" Perlis asked Carly anxiously, "She was caught!"

"I thought you weren't worried about Aoi at all," Carly chuckled and looked at Perlis, then her eyes turned to the town center gate again, "This is our plan."

"plan?"

Perlis scratched the back of her head in confusion, so Carly quickly explained the situation.

On the night that Rei disappears, Aoi and Saya head out to look for the friend who might have information.

However, the friend was not at home. According to the description of the secretive neighbors nearby, he had been summoned to the town center not long ago.

At that point in time, Perlis and her group arrived at Yuan Town.

This couldn't be a coincidence. After careful consideration, Shaya revealed the identity of her friend: he was the owner of a factory that processed netherworld objects.

In the Black Current Land outside the Great Wall, the concept of "Netherworld Objects" means polluted garbage, ranging from the remains of black water entities to ominous objects with strange powers.

It was obvious that the mayor was deliberately blocking the group's way to find the Sky Eye Facility No. 0.

Even such marginal clues have been blocked, not to mention some core clues.

Therefore, Aoi directly proposed a very bold plan——

——Since those people are coming for the Kui Lian sisters, why not just do as they wish.

He took the initiative to show himself to her, pretended to be defeated, and saw where she would be taken, in order to try to find out their true intentions.

"Aoi is very durable anyway, that little attack won't cause much actual damage to her."

Carly smiled, but soon became serious:

"However, according to the information I saw from Xiao Xiaoniao's vision, the shotgun bullets used by the mayor are a type of ammunition that can cause extremely low temperatures."

"Perhaps it is used to fight against black water entities," Perlis analyzed, "After all, many black water entities can generate high temperatures."

"But how did he know that Aoi could also create high temperatures?" Carly grasped the key point. "When he looked for Aoi with a shotgun, it was already loaded. He must have known Aoi's power in advance."

"You mean, they know Aoi...?"

"At least, they know Aoi," Carly confirmed, "and Rei."

As they were talking, Perlis and Carly saw a group of soldiers carrying a body bag out of the gate in the center of town and throwing it casually into the back seat of an inconspicuous rickshaw.

A man who looked like a coachman dragged the carriage away. Although he looked like a very authentic coachman, Perlis discovered through factor entanglement that he was actually a guard who had appeared before in disguise.

"Next, it depends on where he's going to go," Carly said. "I asked Shaya to leave Yuanzhen temporarily. When things have developed to this point, she will ask for help from the Qilang military as a backup... By the way, did you get any results with the guy you were following?"

Polys then reported to Carly everything that the guard she was following said. Among them, the most crucial information was that "the mayor clearly knew the location of the Sky Eye Facility No. 0."

However, what made Perlis most uneasy was the name the guard gave himself:

"Zu Chumen, [Blackwater Scholar], the ninth seat of [Blade of Babel]," Perlis murmured, "Could it be a coincidence that they have the same name?"

"If something is so strange, there must be something fishy going on," Carly said. "If I remember correctly, the report from the kingdom is that Zu Chumen has the power to possess other people..."

"This explains why the guard had injuries but had no recollection of attacking us," Perlis said. "He doesn't seem to be lying. I can kill him at any time. If he has the corresponding power, there is no reason for him to take such a risk."

"Everything seems to be connected..." Carly lowered her head and thought, "Aoi and Lian's mother, Sakura Shansen, once studied the method of opening the portal to the [Eternal Wall] in the [Laboratory] in the Dead Zone, and the key to enter that laboratory read out the name of Dr. Zu Chumen..."

"According to the timeline, the guard also named Zu Chumen was born after the black water eruption, and he has been losing his memories continuously since he was a child..." Perlis murmured, "He was parasitized by the real Zu Chumen? If he is Zu Chumen, who is the one from the Federation?"

"Perhaps it's just a body. Zu Chumen was changed in the drilling eruption incident... This gave him the power to rely on the lower world to possess..."

"But what's the use of having a body on both sides?"

As soon as Perlis finished saying this, she realized that she had made a fool of herself.

——Of course it is useful. Isn’t this the basis of the Federation’s deployment in the Eastern Continent?

Aren’t human settlements like Yuanzhen, which are far away from the Great Wall, the best starting points for the federal ideology to invade?

The role played by Zu Chumen in this process is just like the two sisters Ibuki Rin and I Qian, a mouthpiece that can easily cross the storm!

Moving between different bodies, transmitting information, jumping in opposition, like a dark ghost.

Whether in public or in secret, Laplace has a nearly perfect layout.

"So, since Zu Chumen knew Shan Senying, there is a way to trace the mayor's acquaintance with the Kui Lian sisters," Perlis said, "From this point of view, the situation of the two sisters is far more dangerous than we thought..."

"We have to catch up," Carly stretched out her hand towards Perlis, "I'll give you the coordinates."

"it is good."

Perlis grabbed Carly's hand, tore open a crack, and the two of them disappeared on the roof.

......

13) Elegy of Far Town (Part 7) -4k chapter-

According to the coordinates provided by the [little bird] that Carly attached to Aoi, Perlis traveled all the way and came to a dilapidated street.

The road surface of this street is bumpy and there are even cracks eroded by darkness, extending all the way to the buildings.

Most of the houses along the street are missing bricks and tiles. The structure of the buildings is like the skeleton of a rotting corpse, exposed in broad daylight, showing a state of weathering and wear.

When Perlis and Carly emerged from the crack in the roof, they just happened to see the rickshaw carrying Aoi enter a building on the street.

When she saw the house number of the building clearly, Perlis' heart trembled slightly——

——It was a meat processing plant.

Why did they drag Aoi into the meat processing plant? Did they intend to eat her?

Perlis and Carly nodded, held hands again, and shuttled through the rift.

When the rift opened again, Perlis and Carly appeared in a shadow.

The source of the shadow was a huge machine that was roaring and making noises mixed with the sound of mincing meat.

After confirming that the location was concealed, the two men turned their eyes to an open space not far away, where more than a dozen people in black robes were standing. Two of them were pulling the iron chain with great effort, slowly lifting Aoi's body up.

What made Perlis feel very strange was that she could not recognize the factor entanglement of those black-robed people. There seemed to be an invisible gravitational force around their robes, blocking Perlis's factor vision.

These people are different from the ordinary guards before...their status should be higher...

What do they want to do to Aoi?

While Perlis was thinking, she saw a man in a black robe pick up a long white knife and stab it into Aoi's abdomen without hesitation.

"Zizi!"

The long sword did not penetrate the girl's skin. Instead, it melted instantly in a flash of red light and turned into splashing molten iron.

The man in black robe raised his head blankly, only to see that Aoi still had her eyes closed and did not seem to be awake, but her abdomen had indeed just released a strong temperature.

"Are you sure she is unconscious?" the man in black robe asked a shorter man in black robe beside him.

"I'm sure," the short black-robed man said hoarsely, "this might be her self-defense mechanism!"

"No! We still can't kill the Red Devil!" the black-robed man roared, "She will always be a trouble!"

The words of the man in black robes made Perlis and Carly suddenly nervous - these people actually said the title "Red Devil".

And their purpose was simpler than Perlis thought: to kill Aoi.

At this moment, Perlis recalled the whispers of the black-robed guards who boarded the car to search when they saw Aoi and Lian.

Could it be that Yuanzhen is where the Kuilian sisters went after the Wulan drilling eruption?
