"You're acting, right? Hahahaha!"

Zu Ligui's expression changed as he pulled out a simple pistol from his waist, which was already loaded with a factor energy bullet.

He wants to end Aoi's life.

But at this moment, he felt a flash of red light, followed by a burning sensation on his wrist.

He saw a hand flying out, and after a brief delay, there was another red light, and another hand flew out.

The two hands were spinning in the air, and then two cold arrows accurately hit the palms of the two hands, nailing them to the wall.

This way, the detonator will not be triggered.

"..."

Zu Ligui stared blankly at his two hands that were swept away by the laser. Only then did the sensation of severe pain reach his brain.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

He fell to the ground, his two broken arms raised, and screamed.

All the soldiers turned their eyes to the eaves. Unknowingly, the giant wolf stood on the edge again, and Buriged, who was riding on the wolf, was slowly putting down the bow in his hand.

"I'll say this one last time, put your weapons down."

As Burigede spoke, several dark shadows flashed across the sky behind him, accompanied by a roar that tore through the clouds.

——Those were Qilang people’s attack planes.

Qi Lang’s military support has arrived, and this war, which has not yet expanded, is about to be strangled in the cradle.

"..."

Looking at the planes flying across the sky and their leader kneeling on top of the armored vehicle, both the soldiers from the remote town and the nomads fell silent.

Soon, as the first person lowered his weapon, more and more people threw their weapons to the ground and raised their hands.

They were surrounded by two people.

......

After stepping into the black pool, Perlis felt herself sinking into endless darkness...sinking...

Although the factor shield prevented her from coming into direct contact with those netherworld substances, the trembling feeling hidden beneath the space still made her feel a chill.

"Buzzing..."

Accompanied by the roar, Perlis was guided by the notes lingering around her body and anchored her current position.

When she came to her senses, the vast Black Lake and the windmills on the other side of the lake appeared before her again.

At the lakeside, Ivar Sykes, dressed in a black robe, was still looking at the lake. After sensing Perlis's arrival, he turned around and nodded to Perlis:

"Little flower."

Perlis walked silently to Ivar's side, and they looked out at the dark lake together.

After a long while, she spoke softly:

“Does this lake have any special meaning?”

"Oh, I thought you had guessed it a long time ago," Ivar smiled, "This is the original front-line base."

Hearing this, Perlis' pupils shrank and she subconsciously turned to look at Ivar.

Frontline base...? The place where my father and mother stayed?

Yes... That base blocks a black lake... There are whispers coming from that black lake... Herames von Valantia, later known as the Black Angel, is often bewitched by that black lake...

If this is the front-line base, then could this large lake be the original Black Lake?

But it doesn't look like that... Perlis looked at the huge lake in front of her. The Black Lake was so small back then, and this one is so big, how are the similarities?

As if seeing through Perlis's doubts, Ivar chuckled:

"After the Day of Judgment, the topography of this area was changed, and many tributaries of the Long River were diverted. Those rivers eventually flooded the former Black Lake and created this large lake."

"This was once a battlefield, but most people have forgotten it. But the netherworld will never forget it."

Ivar said, turning to look at Perlis, his light green eyes were very clear, and obviously more human than last time.

Perlis couldn't look directly into those eyes, so she turned her gaze to the black lake and said:

“Who changed the terrain here?”

"Those who can change the terrain," Ivar said, "Come on, little flower, it has come to this point, can't you really think of it?"

In fact, of course Perlis could have thought of it. She had once seen something that could move mountains and fill the sea - the [Creator Engine].

There is no doubt that the Hafrigad tribe changed the terrain before their fall and sealed the Black Lake with a lake, which prevented the contents from continuing to spread.

"What's in that black lake?" asked Perlis.

"You can go and see for yourself," Ivar said, "You should be able to get a glimpse of history from that vicinity. Only the Hafgard people with a strong spiritual realm can withstand that level of underworld erosion... hehe..."

Ivar said, turning around and facing Perlis:

"I know you are here to look for the Sky Eye Facility 0. In fact, that facility is not far from the original front-line base. You can find its location information by just finding a leftover terminal."

"The nearest terminal is in a nearby research institute, which is located right below the office building in the center of town. The box at the end of the utility room is the entrance. After passing through the corridor, there is an identification door made of netherworld materials. If you enter rashly, you will get lost in the netherworld due to the misalignment of the anchor point. But you have the [Word of Ursa], which can destroy those materials."

"Miss Lian is behind that door. Behind that door is a record of the past of a pair of sisters, as well as the cruelest truth of the Qilang people."

After Ivar's words, Perlis' mouth opened slightly, but she had nothing to say.

Her adoptive father Ivar told her all the information she wanted at once, without holding back at all.

This means only one simple fact:

——Ivar had been watching her.

"you..."

Perlis turned around to face Ivar, but found that Ivar had turned his face towards the Black Lake in the distance.

"Sometimes, I miss those days. Edward, Aleph, Hali Lali, we used to spend many wonderful days in this front-line base."

"That was the day when I truly came out of the haze. During that day, a ray of light pierced through the gray darkness, making the tiny dust briefly shine like starlight."

A smile appeared on Ivar's lips. The madness on his face had long since disappeared, leaving only the most primitive calmness.

Notes burst out from [Words of Ursa], outlining pictures in Perlis' mind.

She saw a young boy hiding in the flowers, nervously holding his camera and looking at the girl in the distance.

The girl's long hair was pure white, as if the halos of the stars were gathered on her.

The boy hesitated for a long time, and finally raised his camera and pointed it at the girl bathing in the starlight in the sea of ​​flowers.

The moment he pressed the shutter, the girl turned around and smiled playfully at the camera.

That smile was forever frozen in the picture, then put into the frame and left on top of the locker.

In front of the door opposite the lockers, a bearded man was staring blankly at the painting in the frame, watching the old scene reappear under the broken moon.

Thunder roared outside the window. The man chuckled and said:

"That's not too bad, is it?"

At that time, he was heading towards his finish line, the [race] in which he lost his life.

Now, he stood on the ruins of the past, looking at the past that had long gone.

"I love her, little flower, I don't deny it," Ivar smiled, "She pulled me out of the small dark room...I saw the world because of her..."

He turned his head to look at Perlis again, his light green eyes looked so tired.

"I did a lot of wrong things, but I didn't regret it. You don't have to forgive me, but don't let this experience hurt yourself."

"I've been hurt." Perlis whispered.

"...Feel sorry."

Ivar lowered his head, a mixed expression on his face.

Perlis also lowered her head and said nothing.

Ivar was the one who pulled her up from the icy rain that separated her from the past, and the one who raised her.

But he is also the murderer of Edward and the criminal who killed so many innocent lives.

Pearlis's hands were shaking, she didn't know how to face this man.

"..."

At this moment, a hand gently rested on Perlis's shoulder. She looked up suddenly and found that it was Ivar's hand.

"Go ahead, little flower," Ivar said, "I am going away."

"Where are we going?" Perlis asked subconsciously.

"Go forward," Ivar smiled bitterly, "I think this is the fork in the road."

Ivar took a step forward, heading towards the Black Lake.

When he stepped into the lake, the dark body slowly disintegrated, turned into fragments, and merged into the black lake.

Seeing Ivar about to disappear into the lake, Perlis subconsciously called out to him:

"Ivar."

Hearing the voice, Ivar turned his head, his face eroded by darkness showing some surprise.

The light green eyes and the blood red eyes looked at each other again at this moment.

Then, Perlis said softly:

"Thank you."

Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, like a pot of soup filled with all kinds of emotions, and she couldn't tell the difference between bitterness, sweetness, sourness, and spiciness.

A hint of surprise flashed across Ivar's face, and then his light green eyes suddenly became extremely clear:

"You have the same eyes as your mother, little flower."

He smiled one last time and continued walking, disappearing into the spreading darkness.

Perlis stood alone by the lake, staring at the gradually boiling darkness without saying a word.

......

When Perlis emerged from the darkness, she found that everything was over.

"Little White Flower, come out quickly."

At Carly's call, she came to the gate of the treatment plant. At a glance, she saw countless Qilang soldiers who had taken over the place, as well as those black-robed men who had their hands handcuffed.

After the Qilang people launched their support, the Yuanzhen people surrendered obediently without much struggle.

"It's a bit too fast. I haven't even analyzed the specific location of the netherworld compartment yet," Carly said to Perlis beside her, "The mayor still doesn't say anything. He said it's okay to kill him, but... eh? What are you doing?"

"Go to the center of town," Perlis said, "Rian is there, and she's in danger."

......

After Perlis shared the information, the Qilang military quickly surrounded the entire office building in the town center.

Perlis, Aoi, and Carly were responsible for the breakout, while the others prevented anyone from trying to escape from the building.

"Let's go."

Perlis nodded to Aoi, who pushed the door open and led the way forward.

The group quickly passed through the gate and, following Perlis' instructions, quickly reached the basement level.

What caught my eyes was a pile of miscellaneous items, arranged in no particular order. But in Perlis's eyes, these miscellaneous items were orderly in the chaos, extending out a crooked road.

Soon, at the end of the road, Perlis saw a box. She nodded to Aoi, who punched it and smashed it.

Sure enough, under the box, a dark passage appeared in front of the group.

"There is netherworld woven material in the interlayer of this box," Perlis pointed to the fragment of the box, where the edge was stained with a thin layer of black. "If I'm not mistaken, the paint material of this passage is also the same thing."

"Yes, the little bird can't conduct reconnaissance and has lost its signal," Carly frowned, "It's interference from the underworld..."

"Is Lian in there?" Aoi asked anxiously.

"Yes, but she's not the only one here," Perlis frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, Zu Chumen is here too."
