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

In any case, the current situation is somewhat dangerous: although Aoi is unlikely to be killed casually, Lian is different, and her situation is not optimistic.

In short, since it has been confirmed that the people in front of us are related to Lian’s disappearance, we can just subdue them and then interrogate them.

Thinking so, Perlis took out a butterfly knife, and the silver blade flashed with light.

But at this moment, she heard the short black-robed man suddenly speak:

"If you want to kill her, freeze her with low temperature first, wait until her vital activities weaken, and then cut her head off directly, so as to avoid her self-defense mechanism."

The series of words that guy uttered were very calm and well-reasoned. It was obvious that he had done a lot of research on Aoi's weaknesses.

The other men in black robes looked at the short guy with some suspicion, and one of them clapped his hands and signaled the guards beside him to bring the things up.

After a while, a two-meter-high barrel of freezing liquid was brought over, with white steam billowing out of it.

Aoi was hanging above the barrel of freezing liquid at this time, swaying with her eyes still closed.

"Are you sure you can kill her this way?" asked the man in black robe.

"I am sure," said the short black-robed man, "that no one knows her better than I do."

Hearing this, Carly and Pearlis looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

Oh no...this method really could kill Aoi!

"It's time to take action."

As Perlis spoke, a small white flame ignited on her hand, emitting a strange light.

The guards were about to break the chains and let Aoi fall into the freezing liquid barrel. But in the blink of an eye, Aoi was gone.

——The chain that bound Aoi was empty!

"Run!" the short black-robed man shouted, "She's coming!"

Several black-robed men immediately began to move towards the exit, but at this moment, countless blue lights burst out -

"Ding------"

The men in black robes screamed and took a few steps back. They fell to the ground, covering their eyes and howling wildly.

Several guards rushed forward to help them up, but a red shadow fell from the sky, and Aoi, who was emitting high temperature all over his body, was looking at them:

"I'm a little angry," she said.

The guards raised their assault rifles and fired at Aoi. The dense rain of bullets hit her body, but all of them were bounced away without exception.

After they emptied their magazines, Aoi shook her wrist and said disdainfully:

"It's boring."

She punched out fiercely, and a scorching wind exploded, knocking all the guards to the ground.

Several men in black robes wanted to flee in another direction. At this moment, Carly emerged from the darkness holding a steam revolver, with blue dots of light floating around her:

"Don't move," she said lazily, "Squat down and put your hands on your head."

The two men in black robes raised their hands tremblingly, then knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

Several guards saw the situation here and raised their rifles at Carly. Before they fired, a white shadow flashed by and knocked them all to the ground.

Pearlis destroyed the guns in their hands with a butterfly knife and looked at them coldly.

For a moment, the situation in the entire meat processing plant was under control, and it seemed that everyone was under control.

At this moment, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded from the door -

"Run this way! Quick!"

Everyone looked over and saw the short man in black robes running outside with two other men in black robes.

From the very beginning, the short guy protected his eyes and blocked Carly's icy blue light!

Seeing this, Aoi jumped up and shouted:

"Don't run!"

She accelerated towards the three men in black robes and was about to catch up with them.

At this moment, the short man in black robe pressed a button on his hand——

"boom!"

A small device on the freezing liquid tank exploded, white gas burst out, and the cold liquid poured directly onto Aoi's body -

"what!"

Aoi let out a scream and was about to slip, but she gritted her teeth and held on.

Using the last bit of her strength, she raised a gust of scorching wind.

The scorching wind blew across the body of the short black-robed figure, lifting her hood.

At that moment, everyone saw the true identity of that person——

——That’s Rei, Aoi’s younger sister, Rei Sugimori.

There was a flash of astonishment in her eyes when she looked at her sister, but soon, the astonishment turned into a hint of determination.

The corners of Aoi's mouth trembled, she fell to the ground and stretched out her hand towards Lian:

"pity...!"

However, the short figure soon disappeared in the white mist raised by the refrigerant and was never seen again.

......

"What did the white-haired girl ask you?"

In the mayor's office, Zu Ligui looked at his nephew with empty eyes and frowned.

"She asked me... where is the Sky Eye's Facility Zero..."

"Did you answer?"

"I said I didn't know! I said my uncle knew!"

"Oh..."

The mayor's eyes suddenly dimmed a little, as if a shadow was cast from his eyelids to his eyelids.

Then he murmured in a low voice:

"I may have said that you shouldn't confess anything to outsiders, didn't I?"

"She's going to kill me!" the guard yelled.

"How dare she kill you? You little brat, if she kills you, won't we have a reason to kick them out? At this critical moment, how could they destroy their own path themselves?"

Zu Ligui rubbed his neck, tilted his head back, stared at the peeling ceiling and murmured:

"But it doesn't matter. As long as those outsiders are still here, the conflict will break out sooner or later. You just brought this process forward..."

"This...I..."

"Don't blame yourself. I didn't think enough. I thought that the girl from Hafurgard wouldn't be able to find any clues, but who knew she could find you directly? I didn't think enough."

Zu Ligui patted his nephew on the shoulder and said:

"As usual, go to that place and wait for me. I'll call you out when the storm has passed."

Hearing the mayor say this, the guard panicked:

"I...I don't want to go..."

"Be obedient, I need you to get some sleep and get things back on track."

"I don't like the feeling of losing my memory..." The guard held his head, "I don't like..."

Every time his uncle sent him to "that place", he would lose his memory over several days.

He hated this sense of disconnection, which left him with no control over his life.

"This is your duty, Truman," the mayor's voice was a little threatening, "We need to hand the things over to her. Those outsiders will use tougher measures next time, and we need corresponding bargaining chips."

"I..."

The guard lowered his head, as if he had noticed something, and didn't dare to look into his uncle's eyes:

"Is this why you keep me by your side?"

"How is that possible? Don't I love you enough?"

Zu Ligui spoke calmly, walked to the desk and sat down slowly.

The office door was opened, and two men in black robes walked in, surrounding Zu Chumen on the left and right.

"It's time to come back." Zu Ligui said in a low voice as he watched his nephew being taken away.

......

"Now the situation is troublesome..."

Looking at the row of black-robed men who were tied to the ground but refused to surrender, Carly felt deeply helpless.

She and Perlis had just tried to interrogate these guys, but in the end they got nothing out of them.

These people seemed like some kind of death warriors who had been trained to the extreme. Some of them even tried to commit suicide by biting their tongues after being captured. If Perlis hadn't knocked them out in time, they would probably have bitten off their tongues.

"Where does such strong determination come from..." Carly muttered, "In order to destroy the Qilang people, they don't even want their own lives?"

"But they are not that brave," Perlis said, "If they really were not afraid of death, they would have fought us desperately just now."

"This shows that they still have weaknesses, but I'm afraid we don't have much time to figure this out now."

Carly glanced at Aoi who was sitting next to her, with a dazed look in her eyes, next to the broken tank of cryogen.

Obviously, it was a big blow to her that her own sister tried to kill her.

The moment I saw Lian, all my previous doubts were suddenly solved:

Why was Lian taken away without any signs of struggle?

Because she left voluntarily.

Perhaps, Lian had been planning to escape since she entered Yuan Town.

Her allies were of course the people from Far Town, otherwise she would not have helped them try to kill her sister.

"The people of Yuanzhen have more or less contact with the Akademi Federation through Zu Chumen," Perlis said, "Is it possible that Lian has been... from the very beginning?"

It pained Perlis to come up with this inference, but she had to admit that it was very likely.

"Maybe Laplace used the black water to control Lian. If I remember correctly, she was in a bad mood that day," Carly said, "After entering Yuan Town, her black water was triggered by the locals, leading her to do this series of things."

Yeah... Lian was not in a good mood that day, and even smashed the teacup, which is not what she would normally do...

When Perlis was thinking this, a picture suddenly appeared in front of her eyes -

——When she handed the sisters a photo of Sakura and the sisters, Rei once said:

“It’s been so long.”

At that time, there was a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Therefore, we can basically rule out the option that "Lian was controlled by someone after entering Yuan Town". She had planned all this in advance.

And... that sentence doesn't make sense. What does "so long ago" mean? The sisters clearly don't have any memories of the past?

Could it be that...

"...!"

A possibility popped up in Perlis's mind. She grasped it tightly, stood up, and walked to Aoi:

"Aoi, are you okay?"

Aoi raised her head, looked at Perlis's indifferent expression, and sighed softly:

"I'm fine..."

"Don't be so stubborn, you can tell me."

"It's really okay," Aoi smiled bitterly, "Well... you have to accept reality. Being depressed won't change anything... eh?"

Before Aoi could finish her words, she felt a delicate hand on her head, stroking it gently.

She looked up and saw that it was Pearlis's hand.
