"[Recording]"
Pace stood up shakily while breathing heavily. The slight tingling sensation still lingered in his arm and it seemed that he could not get rid of it for a while.
"Ms. Ka...Ms. Kali...I..."
"It's the side effect I told you about before. I didn't expect it to be so serious..." Carly said while quickly directing the drone in the air to record the situation just now.
"Ah... Is that so..." Pace felt a little dizzy, "Well... then you go ahead and do your work... I won't bother you anymore..."
Pace bent down with difficulty, trying to pick up the dumbbells on the ground. However, as soon as he tried to pick up the dumbbells, his arms felt like they were on fire:
"Ahh..."
"Hey, you idiot, sit down properly," Carly retracted the drone swarm and immediately dragged the staggering Pace to the table, "If your arm is burned, you will have to bite it with your mouth in tomorrow's [Shura Field]."
Carly dragged Pace to the table and pressed him on the stool. As soon as Pace's buttocks touched the stool, he collapsed and looked unconscious. Seeing Pace so unconscious, Carly sighed helplessly and sat down opposite him.
"You, are you willing to risk your life when you start fighting?" Carly looked at Pace, puzzled. "I still remember how you tricked Little White Flower into working for you in Thebes. Why are you so enthusiastic now?"
"Well, this is probably...atonement." Pace said weakly.
"Tsk... you've even come to atone for your sins," Carly looked at Pace with disdain, "Although we haven't been in contact for long, but as a realist like you, there's absolutely no need to do this for her, right?"
"this..."
"Is it because you like her?"
"No... How could it be possible..." Pace showed a helpless smile, "Who would like a little girl who is difficult to get along with..."
"Oh~ I don't believe it. Perlis is so beautiful, I can't help it. You are still a man!"
"Maybe..." The body curves of the Angel Yelina inexplicably appeared in Pace's mind, "I prefer... the Debita?"
It took Carly a long time to understand what Pace said. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, looking extremely happy:
"Hahahaha, you'd better not say this in front of Little White Flower. She is very sensitive about that. She will cause trouble to anyone who says anything about it. Hahahaha..."
Seeing Carly laughing so happily, Pace suddenly felt that it was a little unreal. He seemed to have never seen Carly look good when she was alone with him, let alone laugh. After all, he had pushed Carly's most cherished girl to the brink of death. Even though he personally saved Perlis in the end, the scars left by that experience could not be erased.
I always feel that even if we get together, I am always excluded.
After Carly laughed for a while, she saw that Pace looked melancholy, and as if she understood what he was thinking, she said softly:
"You're wondering why I'm always so disgusted with you, right?"
"Ah...?" Pace came back to his senses, a little at a loss, "Ah... um..."
"That's actually very simple, there's no special reason," Carly propped up her head with her hands, her ice-blue eyes looking at the ceiling, "You're a stinky man, and you bullied the little white flower, and you're always unkempt and unaware of yourself. Anyone would dislike you, right?"
"How can I be unkempt? I still shave!"
"See, you really don't know yourself..." Carly looked at Pace with disdain, "When I say unkempt, I don't mean something as boring as the appearance."
"What I'm saying is that you've never really worked hard for something in most of your life."
Carly's words flashed through Pace's mind like thunder, and he once again recalled the corpse by the fireplace and the night when he sighed for the future of the tavern on a rainy night.
At that time, he never made any efforts to make up for his regrets, but just deceived himself again and again: I have a lot of things to do now, and it is not time to realize my true ideas. As time went by, Pace was getting further and further away from his goal, and he almost forgot about Lianna.
It wasn't until Pearlis came into his life that he truly changed his trajectory.
Did he choose to give up his Thebite identity for Perlis purely for atonement? Was he really just for revenge against Ivar?
"Maybe, I used to be." Under the incandescent light, Pace raised his head and looked directly at Carly, "But since she came, I have been working hard all the time."
"Yes, now I see it," Carly smiled softly, "So, I think you are quite interesting."
Facing Carly's smile, Pace truly knew his own inner thoughts for the first time.
What he was pursuing was the feeling that he was working hard to change something.
Only by constantly changing and giving everything to pursue your goals without hesitation can you live your life without regrets in the true sense.
"I thought you would have given up early even if you caught up. I even thought of many alternative plans to leave La Vatino," Carly looked directly at Pace, her ice-blue eyes gleaming faintly under the incandescent light. "But you didn't. You tried very hard. Maybe it wasn't a very effective effort, but compared to your previous self, it was obviously a big improvement."
"I do..."
"Honestly, if you hadn't worked so hard, I wouldn't bother talking to you, and I wouldn't stay up late at night to help you build the giant armor..." Carly rubbed her eyes, "But since you are willing to change, of course I will try to help you... But I will only help a little bit, so as not to spend too much energy."
Carly stood up, opened the storage bag on her waist, and took out a small bottle. Only then did Pace see the potion in the small bottle: it was a blue liquid that flickered under the light. Carly handed the small bottle to Pace and said, like a doctor prescribing medicine to a patient:
"This potion is extracted from the Vo1d ore. Although it can relieve pain to a great extent, you can't drink too much, otherwise the side effects will be serious. Keep this bottle and drink it if your arm hurts. Just drink half a bottle at a time."
"Miss Carly..." Pace took the bottle that Carly gave him and murmured.
"I'm happy that you're working so hard, keep it up," Carly said as she stood up and walked towards the workbench. "It's getting late, so don't exercise today. Go to bed early, Pace."
"Okay... Miss Carly..."
Pace stood up slowly. The pain in his arm had almost disappeared. He picked up the dumbbell from the ground very neatly and walked out the door.
As he reached the door, Pace suddenly realized something.
Was that the first time Carly called her name?
After realizing this, Pace quickly turned his head and wanted to say something to Carly. However, Carly had already started working. She stood in front of the workbench with her back to Pace, hammering the heated steel with a small hammer, making a crisp sound.
Ah... As expected, everyone here works very hard.
Pace lowered his head slightly and looked at the dumbbells in his hands. He decided on the spur of the moment that he should do one more set of exercises before going to bed.
......
6) The Sins of the Great Prophets (Part 6)
"Boom——"
A loud thunder streaked across the sky, lighting up the dark clouds that shrouded La Vadino. In every dark night, the dark clouds were always rolling, brewing one thunder after another that would flash across this city of sin.
"Crash..."
The drizzle slowly fell on the road in front of the government hall, and the security guard in the sentry booth was sitting cross-legged in great comfort. This was the best thing about working the night shift. He could stay alone in this small space without being disturbed, listening to the popular songs on the late-night radio, feeling the sound of raindrops outside the window, and reading the newspapers left by those on duty during the day.
Although a batch of arms was to be delivered tonight, the security guard didn't care at all. He was only responsible for opening the door. Could he encounter any strange things? The rebels had long been suppressed in the old city where no one lived. The courtyard had long been controlled by the [Sharp Knife Lion] family. Although he was only the lowest-ranking direct descendant of the family, he had managed to get such a job that he could eat without doing anything. What could be more enjoyable than this?
Anyway, the ones who suffer are the civilians who have no food to eat, not you.
It was almost twelve o'clock, and according to the usual time, the convoy should be arriving soon. The security guard drank the hot cocoa in the cup, and with the heat flowing into his stomach, he stood up and walked to the control console of the security booth.
Okay, just wait for the convoy to arrive and open the door for them, and we'll be done.
The security guard stared at the darkness in front of him. The rain that kept passing by his eyes made him a little bored. He yawned boredly and wondered whether he should take a nap first.
At this moment, the captain's voice suddenly came from the intercom:
"Calling all personnel, the team has exceeded the three unanswered responses. Eliminating the possibility of communication failure, we are now on full alert."
Alert... Alert? What's going on? The government office has never been on alert before? The security guard was a little panicked. He quickly picked up the intercom and pressed the talk button:
"Hello? Captain, what's going on? Maybe they just forgot to reply. What's the matter?"
The security guard talked to the intercom for a long time, but the captain never responded to him. It should be said that the entire intercom channel fell into silence, without a single sound.
What happened.. Why is it like this...
There was a faint sound of wind blowing past, and the security guard turned his head suddenly. A stream of black smoke flashed past the edge of his vision and disappeared.
What is that?
The security guard rubbed his eyes and looked at that location again, but there was nothing there.
The rain was still falling outside the security booth, and the raindrops hit the roof of the security booth, making a drum-like sound. The music on the radio was still playing, but it no longer made the security guard feel comfortable.
Why did they suddenly become silent? They couldn't all be dead, could they?
The security guard had a strong premonition that if he continued to hide in this booth, he would be the next to lose his voice. He quickly threw the intercom on the table, then took out the AW-69 Federal self-defense pistol from the drawer, loaded it very quickly, and slowly walked to the door of the security booth, ready to go out and find out what was going on.
At least we have to reunite with our own people first and can't stay here.
After taking a deep breath, the security guard gently pushed open the door. However, to his surprise, a hooded figure was already standing at the door.
"You! You are!"
A white shadow flashed by, and the security guard only had time to see the pair of blood-red eyes before his eyes went dark and he passed out.
......
Under the cover of night, Perlis quickly pushed the security guard's unconscious body into the security booth and closed the door.
This guy actually opened the door by himself...Perlis was still struggling between knocking on the door or just breaking in, but this way he saved a lot of trouble.
But why did he open the door? At this time, what could the security guard do?
Perlis looked at the security guard's body and soon found a pistol on the ground next to his hand. It was an AW-69 Federal self-defense pistol. Perlis picked it up and quickly inspected it: the gun was loaded. It was obvious that the security guard had noticed something and was standing at the door with a gun in the middle of the night.
Could it be that he noticed me? If so, he should have shot me the moment he opened the door...
Perlis threw the gun away and began to search the security booth. Soon, she found a map in the bottom drawer next to the console. She unfolded the map and found that it was a security floor plan of the government office.
Apparently, Georgeson Alais's room was on the third floor of the main building of the government hall. The only way to get there was to enter from the main entrance of the government hall and then go up the spiral staircase in the central hall. There were about three sentry posts set up along the way. As long as we could find a way to bypass them quietly, we could avoid Georgeson Alais's attention as much as possible.
Georgeson Allais, what kind of paranoia made him stay in the government hall late at night? Was it to inspect the munitions that were about to be delivered? Or was it for some other reason?
Perlis turned her eyes and found a walkie-talkie on the table of the control console. It should be left there by the security guard. She picked up the walkie-talkie and checked it. She found that no matter which channel it was, there was only noise and no signal at all.
No signal...Does this have anything to do with the security guard having to go out so late at night?
Without thinking too much, Perlis quickly memorized the map, crumpled it up and threw it away, then pushed open the door of the security booth and once again went out into the rainy night.
......
The Government Hall is located in the center of the atrium. Its main building is a church from the Pership Dynasty. At the end of the [College War], it was the place where the queen, Celica Yad Pership, lived. During the [Sharp Knife Lion] family rebellion, the church was destroyed by a fire and rebuilt after the war to become the current Government Hall.
Looking at the church in the distance, Perlis ran silently along the green belt beside the road. Raindrops fell on her hood, and when they accumulated, they slid down her face and fell into her clothes. The cold stimulation spread, but it could not stop Perlis's extremely fast pace.
Soon, Perlis saw the first sentry post not far away: to her slight surprise, the soldiers in the sentry post had already cordoned off the road, with rifles ready in their hands. But her surprise did not end there.
What surprised her most was that they were not heading towards Pearlis, but towards the government hall.
In this case, we can only go straight ahead. With a slight effort, Perlis's running figure broke through the outline of the drizzle, and the butterfly knife in her hand spun at high speed.
As if hearing footsteps behind him, the captain behind the cordon turned around. He saw the girl running fast on the road almost at a glance, and raised the gun in his hand quickly:
"Boom--boom--"
"Dang——dang——"
Perlis easily deflected the bullet fired by the captain, and then leaped into the air, her blood-red eyes flickering in the rainy night——
"What..."
"bass--"
A white shadow accompanied by a red arc of electricity fell from the sky and instantly cut off the captain's throat. The other soldiers at the cordon line just reacted and were about to shout, but Perlis had already stood up and slashed several times quickly -
“Swish—swish—”
The butterfly knife with a bloody glow was raised high, leaving a trail of blood. After the fight was over, Perlis straightened up silently, gently shook off the blood on the butterfly knife, and walked forward. Behind her, the soldiers along the cordon were all in a pool of blood, motionless.
Soon, other soldiers who heard the noise rushed over, formed a circle around Perlis, and completely surrounded her.
The rain was dripping down, dripping on the muzzles of the soldiers' raised guns, and flowing through the girl's pure white hair. In the drizzle of this city of sin, Perlis gently raised the butterfly knife in her hand and stretched it in front of her -
"Tap-tap-tap-"
Raindrops fell on the silver blade, some splashing, but most of them were directly evaporated by the red factor energy, making a "sizzling" sound. A faint white mist emerged from the blade and drifted away. It was the drizzle flowing against the current.
Through the white mist in front of her, Perlis swept her sight over the soldiers blocking the way one by one, counting their numbers:
"1...2...3..."
"Put down...put down your weapons! Otherwise we will shoot!"
The muzzles of the guns were shaking - that was caused by the shaking hands of the soldiers. They were afraid of her, afraid of the figure standing calmly in the drizzle.
"You are the Pure White Flame, right? Surrender now, and we will..."
"Boom——"
A thunderclap exploded, and the pale white lightning reflected the outline of the atrium of La Vatino. Under the lightning, Perlis's figure flashed very unsteadily, and the blood-red light on the blade instantly turned into a deadly trajectory -
"bass--"
"Ahhhhh!!"
