Sound, it filled everything, and the tightly closed eyes did not bring any message. Surrounded by the sound of numerous bubbles. Amidst the irregular continuous sound of water bubbles, a sound came.
"Who are you?"
Monica responded involuntarily, "Who am I? I don't know who I am either."
"Why don't I know who you are?"
"Because I'm no longer like myself, I can't recognize myself anymore."
"Why?"
"I have lost so much, enough to empty my heart. I have nothing left."
"Is there really nothing left?"
"There is only endless disappointment and regret left."
"Is there still something left behind, even if it's disappointment and regret?"
"But..." The fiery red scene appeared, and Monica found herself in a huge bubble. Surrounded by countless small bubbles, inside the bubbles were the appearance of one's beloved, the experimental appearance of Alfred holding a test tube, Joanna's energetic face, John Carroll's cold and stern face, images of village companions, the back of that day, and the blood of that night. "That's all incomplete."
"Why is it incomplete?"
"I don't know."
"Are you incomplete, or is the past incomplete?"
"I don't know."
"Is it incomplete memory or incomplete heart?"
"I don't know! I don't know! Don't push me anymore!"
"Is anyone pushing you?"
The scene before me changed again, bubbles disappeared one by one, and the background changed to a sea like blue. Monica seemed to drift in it, with ripples caused by the refraction of sunlight on the water surface.
"Why don't you answer me? Is anyone forcing you?"
"The world... gods... fate... humanity... vampires... I... myself..."
"Why are so many people pressuring you?"
"I don't have the strength, I'm too weak."
"Can having power change everything?"
"At least I can seek revenge!" The scene changed once again. In the pitch black surroundings, the only one who can see clearly is oneself.
"Do you want revenge?" A person appeared in front of him who was exactly the same as himself, but with a different expression. It feels like there's a hint of strangeness and a hint of mockery.
Slowly lifting her head to face the other person, Monica's eyes flashed with a strange light. I saw the other person's playful big mouth covering their entire face, and a thick voice that was different from just now came in. "If you want strength, I will give you strength. This can be considered as a reward for liberating me!"
The scene disappeared completely and returned to the deep darkness. Monica couldn't see herself clearly either. She could only shout in the darkness, "Who are you?"
"After thousands of years of imprisonment, I have long forgotten my name. But I know that I come from the embrace of the earth, and now I will return to the earth. The anger of the earth will also be quelled by her child returning to her embrace." A bright red appeared in the darkness, and a ruby like red light shattered before Monica's eyes. Everything returned to tranquility.
The sound of blisters is still continuous
"Ah~" Monica bounced up from the chair.
Looking around, this is the familiar Platinum City underground laboratory. I will stay here and fall asleep, probably because last night's trial of the experimental product went very smoothly, so I completed it in one breath. After completion, the sense of achievement is far less than the feeling of fatigue, so just fall asleep like this.
Looking at the huge sheep sink next to me, there was nothing else inside except for about half full of special liquid. But the mechanical action of the sheep sink still hasn't stopped, and the intermittent bubbles created are the culprit behind such a dream.
Sitting back in the chair, Monica closed her eyes and let out a big breath. "The power to dominate the earth's veins? Probably obtained at that time! If I hadn't dreamed of it, I would have almost forgotten myself... Who is it? What exactly did the teacher seal in that ruby? The heart of that dungeon..."
Looking back at the table, a pair of metal fist covers, foot covers, and earrings were placed in the middle of the pile of documents. The traces of repairing and patching indicate its unusual... Hmm~or rather, its tattered condition. From the appearance, these things are not worth much money at all; Even from some special perspectives, its uniqueness cannot be seen. Only a few strange symbols and patterns on them may attract others' attention, but in the eyes of artists, children's graffiti is probably more valuable.
Picking up something from the table, Monica stood up. "Then... who should we do the experiment with?" After putting down a strange sentence, Monica left the basement.
As soon as she entered the door of the group training room, Monica had a wonderful feeling for the scene before her. More than a hundred Platinum Jaguar Knights, all in groups one, two, and three, lay on the field panting. Of course, more people are foaming at the mouth and unconscious.
"Ah~Ah!"
A loud roar startled Monica. Upon closer inspection, several people sat up in the audience. At the other entrance of the training room, several fully armed knights also walked in.
"Is it over? Ah! Good day, Miss Fislow." Knights in groups of five or six walked in, each with a mixed expression, thinking of something different. When Monica saw a group leader approaching and was about to speak, she walked up to several knights who had just sat up and said to one of them, "Woods, at least you can be considered the deputy leader of the group. Isn't this too ugly?"
"Mr. Wostibo~Captain, don't talk nonsense there. By the way! Why did you just appear so coincidentally? It's just been a while since we finished fighting." Woods' tone could tell that he was quite dissatisfied, and another implication was that he still had the strength to argue.
Wostipo placed the shield in his hand on the shelf next to the group training room, and then squatted down next to Woods. "I just finished my routine patrol and wanted to come here to practice and sweat. Unexpectedly, there were already shouts of passionate fighting scenes coming from inside, so we all cooperated and sneaked over. After a peek, everyone agreed to wait until the inside was over before coming in."
"Damn it! The Countess practices indiscriminate combat at irregular times every day, with tests every thirty days that do not meet certain standards, and special personal guidance services... What's even more despicable is you!" After finally recovering normal breathing, Woods sat cross legged on the ground, not counting.
Wostipo just smiled and sat directly on the ground. "There is a saying in the East: 'A gentleman does not walk in dangerous places'."
"I know another sentence: 'Monks can escape, but temples cannot escape.'"
At this point, the other group of members, whether they had just returned from patrol or had been beaten to the ground, all gathered around.
"Worth..." Monica just made two sounds to call out, and Worthy began to say, "Let's start reviewing. Woods, let's talk about your thoughts on the battle. Can the tactics you used to review against Jess be applied to the Countess?"
"It's useless! The best form of close combat attack is a three person unit melee, where too many people can affect each other's movements. However, Countess's tactics are fundamentally different from Jess's."
"That's right!" said a group of knights returning from patrol. "Back then, Jess's tactics were a straightforward attack style, mainly focused on strike type attacks. He didn't care about the attack location and fully utilized his strengths, using his powerful power to directly destroy the enemy."
"But the Countess's tactics are completely different. Choosing the closest opponent to her, facing only one person at a time, is quite different from Jess' magnificent attack. Especially since the Countess seems to have received orthodox martial arts training, her attack points are completely harmful. Moreover, there is not only a single attack method like Jess, but also various techniques such as throwing, catching, and combining qi, which the Countess is quite familiar with."
"Hmm! It's not difficult to understand how Madam broke through the three of us. First, she attacked me as an arrow, using my momentum to grab her hands. Madam lay down on the ground behind her and kicked me in the abdomen, causing me to fall backwards."
"Then we were both shocked and knocked down one by one. Although we were very close, we didn't have time to gather under the high-speed movement of Madam." After speaking, everyone paused to think about things.
"Um... that..." The timing always flashed by, and before Monica could speak, the contemplative Wostipo spoke again, "Jess habitually stared at his enemy in the distance and used his unexpected speed to make special attacks. In the past, we were mostly knocked down because we thought he wouldn't attack our own thoughts yet. The lady would attack those around us in the most favorable situation. Their barrier defense and combat speed were unmatched by us."
Woods nodded in agreement and said, "That's right! Almost as long as you get close to the Lady's barrier, which is where her hand can swing, the next moment is almost the time for you to fall."
Hmm
Monica, who was still standing by the door, couldn't get in at all and could only wander around looking around. Upon closer inspection, those still lying on the ground were either the second group members who considered themselves very strong, or the rookies from the third group. Almost all of the first group gathered together to discuss. She also saw some envy and surprise in the eyes of those who had fallen to the ground and had not yet fainted, but it was because a group could still compare and laugh, right!
This situation remained unchanged, and Monica suddenly lost her novelty and remembered her purpose of coming here. But judging from the situation in the audience, there's probably no one to help! And the group of people speaking in front of her seemed very busy and didn't pay any attention to her, after all, they were using their time for survival. On the one hand, I don't necessarily have to seek help from this group of people, so I'm not very proactive. On the other hand, women find it difficult to get involved in men's passionate friendships.
Thinking of other alternative methods and seeing things ahead, Monica grabbed onto the object in her hand and showed a rare evil smile. "You will regret it..." Turn around and leave.
I learned from the maids in the corridor that the Countess was already enjoying afternoon tea in the side hall. Monica also arrived at the side hall.
"Ah! It's rare. I thought you were locked in the basement again today and wouldn't come out," Yanni said happily as she saw Monica walking in. "Prepare an extra cup of tea and come over," the waiter beside bowed and left.
Chuli tastes authentic tea and Dim sum. And as soon as Hanniel, who had been obediently sitting on the chair, saw Monica, she happily ran to her side. "Sister Monisha, Sister Monisha, can the little dog you changed into again?"
"Hmm~?" Monica was stunned for a moment before Yanni smiled and said, "It's the hell three headed dog from before."
"What's going on?" Monica sat in the position she had been accustomed to sitting in for nearly a year, and also carried Hanniel to a nearby position.
"That night, the three headed dog found two mirrors from somewhere and moved them face to face. It jumped into the mirror with a loud jump and disappeared." Yanni finished speaking, and Hannier pestered Monica again, saying, "Can we make another one, okay? Sister Monica."
Patting Hannie's little head, Monica smiled and said, "Be good, Hannie. That dog is a bit bad, it's only when it's even worse that it becomes so good. If Hannie really wants to keep it, why don't she find some more good dogs?"
Chu Li next to her just smiled awkwardly after listening to Monica's words. As for Ni, she was slightly annoyed and slowly said, "Mo~Ni~Sha~"
"Hehe! The bad guys are angry."
Hanniel, with a somewhat disappointed expression, ignored the impending war between adults and lowered her head to think about her own affairs. Her eyes lit up as she suddenly lifted her head. "Sister Monica, what kind of people are the Seven Warriors?"
The sudden question caused everyone present to pause for a moment, and Monica's silly face turned into a smiling expression, asking, "Why do you want to know?"
"Because I have only seen Mother, Sister Monica, Brother Jess..." Hanniel counted with her fingers. "And I haven't seen anyone else."
"Oh~Yeah, then I'll tell you another interesting story. Also in that big house, one afternoon, I hid in the shadow of the backlit window, thinking about things and looking at the scenery outside..."
Staying in a big house, Monica couldn't help feeling a little confused about why she could hang out with a group of teenagers, and even embark on this cohabitation experience. She sighed and sat in the shadow by the window, yearning for the day, even though she was a vampire. Just don't be exposed to direct sunlight, as those who have such thoughts will still find opportunities to enjoy the beautiful scenery during the day.
The standalone large house is located in the middle of the mountains and streams. Watching the colorful scenery outside the window, Monica also relaxed and enjoyed herself at such a moment.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Monica caught a glimpse of two very special people together.
Under the dense shade of trees, Jess is enjoying the beautiful afternoon leisure time. Rest your head on a tree and look at the blue sky, hearing the sounds of nature in your ears. That expression is really hard to tell whether he is wandering in the sea of clouds or considering how to shoot down the chirping birds on the tree to roast.
Adam, holding a cup of fragrant hot cocoa, sat aside and enjoyed the same amount of time. But now she felt a little unnatural, as she noticed Jess's gaze wandering over her. "Is there any problem?"
"It's nothing, just imagining what you will look like when you grow up."
"Why?" Adam asked with a strange expression.
"Mmm~" Jess thought for a moment before saying, "I've been having some strange dreams lately. A group of us are fighting dragons in our dreams, and in the dream, I vaguely saw Yanni and I as we grew up. Instead, I didn't see you, Jack, and Sally."
Blowing hot cocoa, Adam took a shallow sip, but only smiled without replying. Jess stepped forward and asked, "What exactly does that mean?"
"That secret..."
"That secret can't be said~, I know. If you don't want to tell, always use this sentence to block everyone." Looking at Adam's relaxed expression, Jess continued, "Knowing what the future feels like? Knowing what will happen in the future now, isn't that boring?"
After listening to Jess's question, Adam rare placed the cup from his chest to his thigh, lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "In fact, the future is not the only one, any action will affect the future. I am just knowledgeable about the cause and effect, selecting what I want from many future choices and guiding everyone forward."
"That means you are creating the future, not predicting."
Adam smiled silently, and Jess weakly leaned his forward body back onto the tree. "What a boring life!"
"No way! I'm still very excited because I know this day will come, and there are still factors that are not easy to control! It's quite interesting how to lead the wrong track back to the result I want. Most of the time, I can only be an observer because my own strength is also insufficient!"
"Well, can we still know the future? Do you know what will happen to me later?"
Adam was momentarily stunned by Jess's words, but then he smiled like a late winter sunshine and said, "That secret can't be said." After speaking, he immediately disappeared in front of Jess.
"Really, it's like this every time, taking time to pause and escape. Does anyone really have a way to knock her down?" After speaking, he also stood up and patted his buttocks, ready to leave.
"Ah! Jess, it's just right. Can you do me a favor?" Yan Ni, who came from behind and was nicknamed the Super Beautiful Princess of the Mainland, was holding a bunch of wild flowers that she had picked from somewhere and pulling on Jess's clothes with one hand.
Upon hearing Yanni's words, Jess didn't even look back and answered "No!" directly.
Yan Ni shouted loudly with a strong tone, "What not!"
A vague voice said, "Scissors, stone cloth!"
A sudden sentence stunned everyone present and almost made Monica poke her head out to take a look. I only saw Jess turn around and look at the door, saying, "Hey! Jack, why is there a fish with only bones in its mouth? Where did it come from?"
"Hehe! Secret."
"Ah! Jack, that's great. Come and help me! I want to make the most beautiful wreath in the world to wear." Yanni buried her face in the flower she was holding, rubbing and happily saying.
Jess and Jack exchanged a glance and lowered their heads to let out a sigh of grandeur. Then the two of them engaged in a quick and strange conversation.
Jack shook his head first and said, "This woman is too childish, isn't she?"
Yan Ni, who was listening on the side, was still puzzled. Jess continued, "Naive? No! I think she's crazy. It's not easy to go crazy like her."
"Is it cured?" Jack finished speaking, and Yanni reached out to pull at Jack's clothes and asked, "Hey! Jack, what are you talking about?"
"Is there a cure?"
"Hahaha~" "Hahaha~" Looking at the inexplicable laughter of the two, Yanni could only twitch her lips and give a bitter smile as a complement.
Jess, who was still smiling, reluctantly continued, "I think there's no cure for it. It's both narcissistic and arrogant. Combined with his strange powers, it's hard to imagine what the person who marries her will look like in the future."
Jack, who was holding a fish bone in his mouth, also gave a haha. "Don't say it as if you don't do your own thing, it will be fun to scold yourself when the time comes."
Jess looked at Jack in surprise. "Self? Stop making trouble. Even if all the women in the world die, I won't take a liking to her."
"It's not so tragic!" Jack replied with a nonchalant attitude. On the contrary, Yanni's still puzzled expression lingered between the two, and before she could let go of her hand holding Jack's clothes, she pulled again. "Hey, what are you guys talking about?"
"You're a jerk with only Adam in your eyes, you don't have the right to teach me so much, do you?"
Jack took a step closer and squinted his eyes at Jess. "Besides, are you really not interested at all?"
Jess just arched his hand and shrugged his shoulders. "At such a young age, what interest do you want me to bring up? When you think of her again, stop making trouble. I can't even lift her anymore. What do you want me to do?"
"Ah~" "Ah~" The two of them instinctively lowered their heads and sighed, even Yanni and Monica, who were watching from afar, unconsciously followed suit. But Yanni quickly recovered and continued to ask, "Jack, Jess, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"
Jack first lifted his head and continued, "But recently Adam has been avoiding me too closely, which has been a bit disappointing. Does she really love me?" As Jack spoke, Yanni looked at Jack with a pleading gaze and said, "Hello! Jack."
"Hello, big brother! This is not very good, is it? She's your sister." As Jess spoke, Yanni turned to look at Jess and said, "Hello, Jess."
"I know! But that impulse in my heart is there! There's always a little bit of hope." Jack's voice felt a bit disappointed.
At this point, Yanni had already retracted her hand, and the trembling movements of lowering her head and clenching her fist felt a bit dangerous.
Jess leaned back and said, "Why do I have a feeling that you will definitely make a big mistake someday? Be more restrained!"
Isn't love something that people do?
"But it also depends on who the object is! I can't focus on a woman like you, let alone that woman being my own sister. But to be honest, I'm really interested in what Adam will look like in the future."
Throwing the flowers in her hand onto the ground, Yanni stomped her feet and said loudly, "Hey! You two! Speak human language to me! Do you understand me, human language! Human language! You're telling me that kind of nonsense. It's strange if I don't teach you a lesson!"
"Damn it! Be careful, don't touch Adam! Ah! Stop talking, the angry person is chasing after me. I'll dodge first!"
"Understood~Big idiot! But I won't care about that much until ten years later. It seems like I'll have to dodge too."
Yan Ni, who was still standing in place, looked at the two people who were escaping from each other and stomped her feet angrily, saying, "Hey! Come back to me!"
Just as Yanni was considering which side to pursue, Sally walked over wearing a cooking apron and holding a kitchen knife. "Yanni, have you seen a damn fish stealing cat?"
Looking at Sally's smiling expression, Yanni paused for a moment and pointed in the direction Jack ran away. "It's going that way. But that should be Jack!"
Smiling until she squinted her eyes, Sally's face leaned closer to Yanni. "It's okay! One damn thing." At the same time, he pulled out two red ribbons from behind and intertwined them, restoring them to the Lance of Rankinus. Raise your feet high and, while lowering it, forcefully throw the gun out with that force.
When a mournful howl came from afar, Sally nodded and smiled contentedly, "It will take about ten days to cure it!"
Sally's smile really made Yanni shiver. When she thought of chasing Jess and turned around, she saw that Michael had already dragged Jess's foot backwards.
Seeing this situation, Yanni paused for a moment before asking, "Mifa... how did you... drag him back?"
"Oh! I just saw Jess running over with a face full of punches, so I chased after him and punched him heavily from behind. Then I dragged him back. What? What happened?"
Yan Ni briefly described what had just happened, and Mifa Er angrily cursed, "Look! I knew!" She turned around and planned to kick Jess hard. Unexpectedly, Jess was kicked in half. I saw another part flying high with Mifar's feet. "Oh my goodness! I kicked Jess in half," Mifa exclaimed in shock
Just as Michael was about to fall into hysteria, Sally patted her shoulder and pointed to the shade of a nearby tree. Jess is sitting under the shade of a tree, caressing the back of his head. "You bastard from the sky killing thief group, I'm sorry for you. You'd better explain it to me clearly. Oh, ah, ah, ah! It hurts so much. It's so important to fight to death!"
Looking at the remaining other half in his hand, it was evident that a large piece of wood had run out of nowhere. Mifa threw the wood in his hand at Jess and cursed, "Can you stop beating me like that for a day?"
"You care so much about me!"
"I just want to take care of you!"
"I won't let you manage it!"
"Who cares about you!"
The two engaged in meaningless verbal abuse while approaching. At the end of the argument, the voice was not only blurry but also somewhat off topic. The others only heard the sound of "woof woof! Woof woof!". Even the two of them started fighting... if that kind of pulling, pushing, and biting each other was considered a fight.
Yanni looked at it and said, "Do you want to persuade me?"
"Do you want to intervene in the battle that has already separated from humanity?" Sally asked in response.
"What does it mean?" Yan Ni was a bit confused about the meaning in Sally's words.
"Two little dogs are biting each other. As humans, we either splash water or ignore them."
"Oh!" Yan Ni seemed to take it lightly and followed Sally's footsteps as she left the scene. And Mifa is having a hot fight with Jess... that situation should be called 'biting hot', which may be more appropriate.
Watching from a distance as Monica passed by, she just shook her head. After putting down the curtains, walk towards other places.
