Chapter 223 The Secret Ritual Between Girls (Part 1)

After the initial joy of learning the news, the girl calmed down again.

In fact, no one on this island can really reach the cliff, not even the only fifth-level lord in the entire port city.

Therefore, whether the old man's words are true or not, she can't confirm it.

In this closed port city, the residents are very conservative and xenophobic.

Because of her unique hair and eye color, as well as her slightly strange dreams, the girl is often isolated and rejected by her peers on the island.

They call her a wild child, a bastard, a monster, throw stones at her, tear her clothes, pour dirty water on her, and scare her with snakes caught in the sea.

Until one day, an explorer who really came from the outside world arrived on the island.

He drove away the children of the same age who bullied the girl, and told the curious girl about the outside world.

Then, the explorer left, and the girl never saw him again.

But in the evening of the day she met the explorer, the children bullied her even more.

They vented their anger that was driven away by the explorer on the girl, punching and kicking her. Regardless of her violent struggle and resistance, they tied her up with a rope they picked up and threw her into the ruins of the building where ghosts were said to be haunted.

Many people had disappeared in the ruins that suddenly appeared, and the adults on the island designated it as a forbidden area and avoided it like snakes and scorpions.

Even if she could really break free from the rope, the night of the island had already fallen. No one dared to walk on the streets under the night, and she could only choose to spend the night in the haunted house.

The cold night wind blew through the dark rocks of the ruins, and the tightly tied girl had only a torn and dirty dress on her body.

Very cold, very hungry, and in pain all over. The darkness around her was like a life, gradually engulfing the girl's consciousness.

But after the night of the island fell completely, she suddenly saw in the haze that the direction of the originally dark house in the center of the ruins suddenly showed orange-red fire.

When she woke up again, she was already in this gorgeous big house.

Nothing in the room would change. She tried to move some furniture in the room and even broke the vase, but as time went by, they would eventually return to their original places.

Rona thought she was dead, but when she saw the familiar island environment outside the window, she realized that she had stayed in this world in a new way of existence.

Perhaps because of her obsession, she found that she no longer felt cold and hungry, and had the ability to change her clothes and make objects float by relying on her thoughts.

However, the house had a strange power that prevented her from leaving the ruins.

In a corner of the ruins, Rona found her drifting bottle.

The children who bullied her also threw her drifting bottle into the ruins. Fortunately, it fell into a clump of weeds and was not broken.

Unable to leave, the girl had to live alone in this house.

From the initial loneliness to the gradual adaptation later.

The only fun every day was to observe the pedestrians coming and going outside the ruins.

But gradually, she began to notice the abnormality of this port city.

The scenes were endlessly repeated, and the cycle restarted every time the full moon came...

And she couldn't remember who her family was. Her memory was completely blank.

Sometimes someone would mistakenly enter here, and Rona also discovered another ability of hers: she could see the invisible halo on these outsiders.

If you stay in this house for too long, this halo will slowly turn black, and the speed of transformation is determined by the brightness, and the brightness of the halo is related to the strength of the outsider.

But when this "light" turns into a dark color like midnight, the outsider can no longer leave.

For some reason, those weaker outsiders will run away in fear when they see her, and those powerful outsiders will attack her directly when they meet.

They call her a monster.

Even after death, she can't get rid of this name.

After several terrible experiences of consciousness falling into darkness, when she encounters a powerful outsider again, she will carefully hide in the fireplace, hoping not to be discovered.

This kind of time has lasted for so long that even Rona herself can't remember how long it has lasted. Until a few days ago, a half-elf girl with the faintest halo she had ever seen suddenly broke into her life...

She didn't look very smart, and had no sense of crisis. No one knew how she grew up.

It was fine if she completely ignored her warnings, but she even slept in front of her without any defense.

Unlike other outsiders before, the girl was not afraid of her sitting in front of the window, and even tried to chat with her tirelessly.

But she often said something difficult to understand. What about 'NPC', 'mission', 'copy', 'dog planning' and so on...The last one was probably some special kind of alienated monster?

In the following time, Rona confirmed her judgment.

He would treat her as an ordinary girl trapped by the erosion of the ruins like himself, and even looked at her with sympathy, telling her about his daytime experiences every day.

For the sake of her, with whom he had only been together for a few days, he would stand like a fool in front of the attack of that powerful outsider, even though his body was shaking so much that he could hardly stand.

Even after learning her true identity, he still called her a friend, not a monster.

The girl was like a ray of light, illuminating her originally dull life.

So, Rona wanted to give her a little gift in return.

She remembered the half-elf girl's favorite thing.

Vivian once told her that it seemed to be called 'mission reward'?

"...Everything here cannot be moved."

"Vivian, I'm glad to meet you."

"I know it's very ordinary and can't be compared with your other 'mission rewards'."

Looking at the surprised look in the light green eyes of Summer Night Firefly, Rona's eyes slowly dropped, as if she felt a little lost.

"But, I only have this, I can give you..."

"No, Rona, I like your gift very much!"

Aroused by overflowing sympathy, Summer Night Firefly couldn't help but suddenly hugged Rona, burying her light body in her warm embrace.

The latter's small body trembled suddenly, and then quickly broke free from the girl's arms.

At this moment, the health value on the half-elf girl's panel dropped a lot instantly.

"Don't touch it!"

The girl with black eyes shrank back as she looked at the firefly whose halo suddenly dimmed with some heartache.

"Sorry to bother you for a moment, both of you."

At the same time, Avis brought Jom back here.

"So, Miss Traveler, I'll ask you one last time, do you really want to get her out of here?"

After looking at the embrace that had been raised by 20% for Firefly Summer, Avis turned to Firefly Summer and confirmed it seriously.

"Yes, Avis, is there any way?"

Looking at Rona beside her, Firefly Summer nodded with great certainty.

"Don't worry."

Avis smiled and turned his eyes to Rona beside him.

"So, what about you? Are you willing to leave here with her?"

Looking at Firefly Summer as well, the little girl with black eyes nodded vigorously.

"I... am willing..."

"Very good."

Avis nodded.

In this case, the conditions for the ceremony have been met.
