"Whew...... ...... "The girl gasped loudly, she was dizzy from the speed of running. A small line of footprints in the snow stretched from a very distant place to her feet, indicating that she had run a long, long distance.

Her big gloves were already covered with debris of ice and snow, and she was fleeing alone in the ice, her little figure running through the stream, through the woods, all the way to the farthest places.

Where are you going to run? The girl herself didn't know, she just didn't want to be caught, so she tried her best to escape. In the face of the terrible enemy chasing behind, she had no chance of fighting.

So the farther she escaped, the better, and she wanted to escape to the end of this world in one go, to a place where no one could catch up.

"Wait...... Don't ......" From an unknown distance, a familiar voice of a young girl came. It was the owner of the voice who chased her to such a wretched point, and it was clear that he hadn't given up yet.

"Never, never," replied the running Snow Maiden in a direction that could not be seen yet.

Because if she is caught up, very, very terrible things will happen, so no matter how tired she is, and she is shivering from the cold, she has to flee to the end.

This is the girl's decision, a vow as great as carving fish yaki.

"Wait a minute, Yayu" This was the helpless voice of Ulysses, who was already desperately chasing after him, and the chase almost made him dizzy.

As for why it has become like this, it should start with a few days.

............

It was a dead night, and after the masquerade commotion was over, the historic Radiant Academy was back to its usual state. Aside from the fact that there was a huge ice cap above the Academy, there didn't seem to be any incidents.

The students who received the shallow spiritual guidance left a very good impression of the masquerade, and some students even suggested that it should be used as a New Year's repertoire every year in the future. And among them, many girls who have had special dreams are particularly in favor.

Ulysses, who returned to the branch of the Radiant Academy, found that many girls looked at him with completely different eyes than before.

He confirmed that he had re-put on the "lucky *** ribbon" given by Binghuang's mother, but the eyes of many girls looking at him always reminded him of some scenes where he felt blushing.

The burning eyes full of happiness were very similar to the eyes he had seen when he and Cindy were happy in the dream that the Wind Fish had created not long ago. The same charm, happiness, and enthusiasm were so great that he was afraid to face the gaze of these girls.

If it just looked fine, but as if confirming his intentions, some of the active and enthusiastic girls began to invite him to their room.

At first, it was just one or two, but as the number of girls they met increased, similar invitations snowballed. It was already an undisguised confession, a girl's outpouring of love.

After escaping from the dormitory in some embarrassment, Ulysses was puzzled, he confirmed that he was definitely not as abusive as Cindy, and he definitely did not write love letters to these girls, how could he suddenly become so popular?

Those girls looked at him and always felt very similar to him, innocent, passionate, cute, but very dangerous.

After escaping the warm invitations of all the girls, Ulysses came to a special place.

This is the place where the star envoys of the past generations died, and the unfortunate place where blood stained red. Although they had understood the truth about their deaths, and knew that it was all of their own volition, when they returned to this place, Ulysses still felt a heavy atmosphere.

He would never forget his shock at seeing Cindy pour a pool of blood, and his uneasiness at discovering that her body had lost all its warmth. At that time, his spirit may have been really confused, so he desperately used the incomplete resurrection secret method on Xiandi's corpse.

The wind blew through the roof that would not be visited, and as it had been for thousands of years, the roof still in disrepair still retained its dilapidated appearance. When you close your eyes, you can smell the girl's blood.

Why must it be here? Why did they all choose to end their lives in the same way? Why could they give up their lives so easily? Even after meeting all the star envoys in "Sister Party", Ulysses still didn't know the answer.

So, tonight he was here again, to this special place that had brought the fragment of Yulia to him, to seek an answer. ,

Sitting on the only bench on the roof, Ulysses took a deep breath and carefully took out one of his treasured books.

The title of the book, "Sister Party", I don't know who wrote it, and I don't know where it came from. Twenty-one different sisters are sleeping in the book, and if Carré tells him in the end, it hides the truth about the resurrection that is so important to him.

The gorgeous masquerade, the singing wind fish, and Liligi, who was awakened from the darkness, gave Ulysses a powerful stimulus and gave him real hope.

It was the hope that brought Yulia back from the darkness, a wish he wanted to fulfill no matter what he became.

At the moment, all the sisters on the cover are in a hazy state. But unlike before, they feel more vivid, as if they can be brought out of the book by blowing the fog that envelops them.

Ulysses turned the first page and saw the handwriting he had written on the book in the past, the traces of his correspondence with Anne.

As he turned the pages, a beautiful note sounded, as if the shadow of a pink girl smiled at him with mischievous eyes, singing that hopeful song.

It won't be simply taken away

That kind of thing is not allowed

Open your eyes and look at the world strongly

Don't give up your hope until the last minute

Whether it's love or fate, don't simply give up.

Be strong and hold your chest up

Don't lie about your feelings, say it when you're afraid

Don't just cry out, don't just stop

Keep moving forward

When you look back, you're on a journey that is your own.

No longer broken notes, but poetry of birds that have regained their wings and are flying in the sky again. Even if he didn't see Anne directly, Ulysses felt greetings and care from her singing voice, which was slightly different from the past.

Thank you, Anne, Ulysses wrote his reply with a pen on a blank page.

Brother, are you alright? The handwriting belonging to Anne soon appeared, which was the first way the two communicated with each other, and it was also the simplest and most direct way.

I'm fine, I have something to ask that Carré, can you tell me how to contact her?" Ulysses hesitated, but wrote out the purpose of his correspondence.

Coming here on purpose, deliberately restoring communications in this position was not an act of whim, but a decision made by Ulysses after careful consideration.

The grand masquerade is over, and the last star envoy, Cindy, has returned, but it's not over. For Ulysses, this is even the real beginning.

Okay, brother, you just need to choose the image of the 20-bit sister at the beginning, and you can contact her directly, please write to me next time. Now the power of the book can only support the appearance of a sister.,Please chat with your sister well, ^_^

After drawing a mischievous smiley face, the whole "Sister Party" returns to the first page where it started, full of infinite possibilities.

"Choose the type of sister you like. There are twenty-one objects you can choose from, and each of them is a very beautiful and cute sister. Who would you choose? Cute, kind, or frail?"

Twenty different types of options appeared, and behind each one was an image of a small girl, the same as the star envoys who had held a masquerade ball.

Compared to the first visit, there is one more choice, and the information of the Star Envoy's sisters is more detailed, which means that the book has begun to accept Ulysses and recognize his brother's status.

Looking at those twenty-one different types of options, Ulysses had the feeling of going back to a few months ago. That's how he made his choice that night, in the castle of Teacher Cavendish the Sage of Water.

At that time, he didn't know the meaning of this choice, and he didn't even look at the appearance of his twenty younger sisters, so he chose one of them at random.

For him, at that time, he only thought that it was a slightly different book, and the so-called choice was just to study materials. I had no idea what the choice he made would change.

And this time, when faced with these choices again, Ulysses felt that something in his heart was becoming softer, although the choice had already been decided, but this time he carefully read all the information of his sisters. ,

The first star envoy, Anastasia, a genius and mysterious sister, a little squeamish, a little tantrum, she is a child of the fire dragon, a sister full of passionate feelings.

The second star envoy, Mianma, she is the darling of the starry sky, a kind and loving sister. She values the people she likes more than anyone else, and she never cries for herself, and when she cries, it's for others.

Third Star Messenger ......

After looking at each other, Ulysses finally saw his target, his second-to-last sister, a blonde princess like Carré.

Twentieth Star Envoy, Caret. She is a blonde cherub and she is the only princess who has come out of the misty forest. Her original name no longer matters, she has inherited the faith and power of Dark December, and has been qualified to use the name of Kalei, she is the embodiment of the Dark Princess, the most incredible sister.

Caret, Ulysses chose her.

The golden light flashed, and the shadows of the other sisters slowly disappeared, leaving only the shadow of the little princess holding the parasol.

"You have chosen her, and you have chosen them, may your soul be comforted and no longer lonely. There are thousands of paths to happiness, and this is one of them. "Strange handwriting emerges, then disappears, replaced by a whole new blank beginning.

"Caret, is that you?" Ulysses tentatively wrote his greeting.

The beautiful handwriting answered Ulysses' question,

"I'm Caret, is the moonlight beautiful tonight?"

Ulysses looked up and saw the transparent snow and ice firmament, the ice sheet made by Helen had not yet melted, but the silver moonlight still reflected through the ice, giving the roof a cool glow.

"It's beautiful, it's pale blue moonshine. Ulysses stretched out his hand, and the cold moonlight shone on his palm, making it a snow-white patch.

"It's a pity that I can't see the world on your side, otherwise I can watch it with you. Ulysses, do you like the night?"

"It's not a nuisance, the night will make me quiet. "After choosing the path of the Demon King, Ulysses has begun to melt into the darkness and no longer has any restlessness about the night.

In the depths of the night, he can even feel a stronger force than during the day.

"Carré loves the night, she loves the light in the dark, and she prefers the stars. ”

"So please draw the moonlight tonight as my reward for answering your question. ”

"Do you know my purpose?" Ulysses looked at the handwriting in the book, a little surprised.

"Of course, you're too easy to see through. When Liliki came back to life, you were more excited than anyone else. It wasn't because of the princess's resurrection, but because of the power of the resurrection. Although he couldn't see Carré's eyes at the moment, Ulysses felt like he had seen everything through him.

His purpose, his desire, what he wanted, could not be concealed from Caret.

"Don't be too upset, this is actually something that all those who know about this resurrection ritual can't resist***. Soul summoning to completely awaken the dead from the darkness is something even I want. Carré didn't hide her thoughts about this soul summoning technique.

This kind of forbidden technique that completely violates the law of life and achieves a miracle that cannot exist, I am afraid that there is no one in this world who does not want it. For her, who is already close to eternity and will not die even if she is hit by a tenth-level divine art, this is also irresistible.

"You want it, but this is obviously a forbidden spell that you have led to perform," Ulysses asked, a little uneasy.

"You're mistaken. I said that I was simply given the responsibility of holding this masquerade party, and I was also the executor. But the real owner of this masquerade is not me, nor is it the Wind Fish, but someone else. He is the true master of this rite of resurrection, and it is not me who resurrects Liliki, but him. ”

"Who is he?" Ulysses couldn't wait to know the name.

"Unfortunately, I can't tell you that name directly, and it probably doesn't make sense to tell you, because it seems to me that it's obviously a fake name. What I do know is that he is the priest who has found Mephistopheles' power. Carré answered Ulysses' questions as best she could, and in fact she had a lot of questions about the man herself.

Mephistopheles ...... The priest ......, "Ulysses knows something related to Mephistopheles, and if Aya is right, it's the name of the demon king of her world, the mysterious demon king who manipulates the soul technique. ,

Is it by chance, or is it just the same thing, and only by finding this person can you obtain the forbidden technique that perfectly awakens the dead from the darkness?

"There is a lot of uncertainty about him, all I know is that he has the power to communicate with the souls of all things. It was through the method he set out that I began to be freed from the curse of infinite rebirth. ”

"Through the pact with the Wind Fish, I have almost regained all my strength. In return, I was in charge of convening this masquerade and completing this special ritual of resurrection in accordance with the contract between the Japanese Fish. ”

"What I can tell you is that, from what I know, we are the only ones who want to complete the resurrection masquerade. You must learn the true method of resurrection, and then find the Wind Fish and make a pact with it, and use its power to have the possibility of repeating such a resurrection ritual. ”

Ulysses took every word Carré said to heart, and it was the key to Yuria's resurrection.

"Also, ...... Need...... Key, you have to ...... as soon as possible" Carré's handwriting suddenly became choppy for some reason, leaving Ulysses anxious.

Carre...... Wake up soon...... Go find ...... Time is running out...... "I could see that Carey was already struggling to write these words, and her handwriting had begun to be crooked, like a child who could not hold a pen.

Finally, after an irregular scratch, the handwriting suddenly broke, leaving a large blank space.

What's the matter, what happened, Ulysses looked at the notebook in amazement, and waited anxiously for Carré's answer.

However, there was no more answer. After a blank silence, "Sister Party" closes without warning, surrounded by darkness. Even the shadows of all the sisters on the cover have completely disappeared, replaced by the pattern of twelve stars.

"How so?" Ulysses only knew about the two conditions related to the resurrection ritual, and from Caret's later answers, it was clear that something was missing.

For such a powerful forbidden technique that is close to a miracle, not to mention that an important part is missing, even the slightest mistake is not allowed. This is a terrifying forbidden technique that reverses the law of life, and even Aya said that it is impossible for ordinary people to master the secret method.

The icy wind blew mercilessly through the rooftops, and Ulysses remembered the questions he hadn't asked yet. Why did the fragments of Yulia appear here at that time, and what was the essence of those blood-colored mist.

These Kalei should all know, because this is the most special place for the Star Envoys, and the remaining power here should also have something to do with them. However, the silent sister party never made a sound again, and darkness enveloped the book, as if there was no hope for a future in sight.

"Ulysses, don't give up hope. "At the height of Ulysses' loss and overwhelm, a familiar figure appeared at the end of the roof.

It was a knight girl in silver armor, and beside her was a space demon in black clothes.

"How did you know I was here, Arcelia?" Ulysses confirmed that he had come here alone, without telling anyone.

"Your actions are too easy to speculate, and Sharon has been worried about you. Arcelia walked up to Ulysses and touched his shoulder with the invisible sword in her hand.

"Don't give up so quickly, the Apostolic Order has been your most powerful aid. Sharon, is the analysis complete?"

"The information has been completely organized, and according to Aya's orders, I have gathered all the information about the masquerade. Sharon's voice was quiet and confident, and at the level of spatial power, she was undoubtedly the authority of the Apostolic Order.

What's more, her shattered core has been fully restored, and a new "domain" has been formed based on the Demon King City here. Even a super-powerful creature like the Wind Fish couldn't stop her analysis.

"Master, please see the specific information. Sharon didn't say much about how hard she had to work and was almost always at the highest level of calculation to collect this important information, but she really showed him the secrets about the masquerade that Ulysses didn't know.

I'm afraid even Carré didn't know that as early as when she held a masquerade ball, every move of the star envoys was thoroughly recorded by Sharon, and she didn't let go of even the smallest details.

Ulysses saw a prelude to a masquerade that he didn't know about, and something that might have something to do with the resurrection ritual.

This is the influence information that Sharon has gathered, although it is only a projection, but all their movements and the flow of magic around them are represented in detail. ,

In Sharon's mapped image, the first one to appear is Anastasia, and the location of the appearance is the roof, which was once stained red with blood.

Ulysses couldn't help but clench his hand as she emerged from the blood-colored mist, and the scene was almost exactly the same as when Yulia was back, except that the person who came out of the mist changed.

Coming to the real world as the first star makes Anastasia look exactly like a normal person. She took a few gulps of the fresh air of the academy and looked satisfied.

"It's been a long time since I've smelled reality. It's still the same here, and it hasn't been repaired properly. The first star made Anastasia step on the floor under her feet, and found that it was almost broken.

However, this did not prevent her from coming here for the purpose of being here, and after confirming that she appeared in the real world as a physical entity, Anastasia began to whisper an inaudible summoning text to the blood-red mist behind her.

Soon, the second-star envoy Mianma also came to this world, and she looked around as curiously as the first-star envoy Anastasia, and then was hugged tightly by Anastasia, making various intimate movements.

"Anna, it's so itchy, don't" The face that was rubbed with her hair was a little shy to dodge Anastasia's pro-Ni behavior, like a poor little animal.

"It's going to be a long time before I miss it, so let me enjoy it. Anastasia caressed her face affectionately, and did not forget to continue the call.

Then came the third star envoy, the fourth star envoy, until the last Carré appeared, and the dead girl on the roof all returned to the real world.

When the last blonde Karei appeared, all the emissaries bowed their heads as if to welcome the arrival of the world's first princess.

Holding a parasol, Carré hugged all the sisters with satisfaction, and then led them to the heart of the Radiant Academy's branch, the towering tree.

When they came to the tree, which was always full of fresh flowers and evergreen, half of the twenty star envoys put their hands on the tree and began to sing, while the other half began to dance.

Ulysses didn't understand the language they spoke, but he could feel the joy of the star's angel's song, like a poem of birds in the blue sky.

Next, Ulysses saw a familiar figure, a young girl who was sneaking from the top of the tree to look at the dance below, with a curious and happy expression.

That's the girl who always bumps into him.,The incredible dream girl-Ayu.。

At first, she just poked her head out of the tree to take a sneaky look, and after looking at it for a little bit, she immediately retracted it. But as the performances of the star envoys became more and more cheerful, the frequency of her sticking out her head increased several times unconsciously, and the peeking time became longer and longer, just like an underage girl who couldn't stand the candy ***.

Although her movements were very hidden, the big tree where she was hiding was also unbelievably many, many leaves that completely blocked her figure. But after more than five minutes of peeking together, she was still discovered by Caret.

The sky around the tree suddenly darkened, and twelve intertwined starlights locked onto the sneaky Ayu. Before Ayu could react, he separated her from the tree.

Ayu struggled hard, and the surrounding leaves helped to hide her. However, with the concerted efforts of the twenty star envoys, she was unfortunately dragged down and fell into the encirclement.

"Woo no, don't don't" The captured Ayu struggled desperately, but it obviously didn't make any sense, and the Star Angel girls easily grabbed her and tied her up with the rope that Starlight had made.

"First meeting, Dream Messenger of the Seven Wings. Carré shook her parasol and looked at the struggling Ayu with admiring eyes, like a creature caught in a trap.

"Let go of me, violence is bad, we can talk about it, woo don't hit me, I'm afraid of pain. Looking at Kalei, who was full of danger all over her body, Ayu surrendered before the battle began.

"It's really strange that this is the same pacifist as the rumored one, this can also be an eighth-level powerhouse, and it is a very strong type. It was clear that it was not only Ulysses who was questioning this, but also Carré.

Ayu is strong, there's no doubt about that. Ulysses even felt that she was the most special eighth-level powerhouse he had ever seen. But obviously there is such a strong force, why never fight seriously. ,

"No one said that the eighth-level powerhouse loves to fight, I am against violence, and world peace is the best" Yayu adheres to the principle of non-violence as always, but now she is tied up and sturdy, and she is really not convincing.

Carré smiled, and then began to order the other Star Envoys to build a rotating stage, and in the midst of countless stars, a beautiful stage was chosen to be built. And in the center of the stage is a beautiful cross, in which the unfortunate Dream Ano Ayu is hung like a martyred saint.

"Woo no, who will save me" Looking at the cross at his feet, Ayu immediately remembered many, many dark histories.

Burn the witch, judge heretics, burn monsters wow wow wow don't, she's not a monster, she's not a witch, she's not a heretic, don't burn her, it's very painful to be burned by fire.

"I'd love to burn you like that, but it's a pity you're still useful. Kare, who had succeeded in capturing Ayu and sending her to the cross, turned her parasol and came to Ayu alone.

"Woooooooooo "Looks like Ayu is about to cry.

"Unfortunately, you can't leave here until the ceremony is over. Carré held out her fingers and pressed Ayu's chin just right, then stood on tiptoe and kissed her on the lips.

"Thankfully, this is the second kiss of Her Royal Highness the world's number one princess, summoning the sign of the ritual of the soul. ”

"Woooooooo

The sound of something breaking rippled, and some gray shards flew out of Caret's body, and the entire sky trembled with the force that erupted from her.

"Descend on the great dark December. All the emissaries prayed together, and the starlight emanating from them was all gathered on Carré alone.

As night came, a huge vortex appeared in the sky, in which the shadows of twelve different stars could be faintly seen.

This earth-shattering scene should have attracted everyone's attention, but it was incredible that no one saw it, as if the arrival of the dark December was happening on another level, and only the space demon Sharon faithfully recorded this amazing scene.

However, more amazing things are yet to come.

As if attracted by the huge vortex in the sky, countless tiny points of light began to emerge from Ayu's body. These points of light quickly gathered together, forming countless colorful bubbles.

In the bubble, you can see many, many creatures that have long been extinct in this world, and in the bubble they do not die, but continue to live, like a museum of ancient creatures.

One by one, the ancient creatures fluttered around, and it wasn't until a bubble much larger than Ayu's body appeared, that Carré let go of Ayu's lips.

At this time, Yayu had already fainted from the too strong stimulation, so he didn't see the huge bubble flying out of his body. Unlike the other bubbles that flew away as soon as they left, this particularly large bubble did not leave Ayu's body, but was connected with her.

In the center of the bubble, a phantasmagion of a behemoth can be faintly seen.

"Dream fantasies, darlings of the world, wake up at this moment. Carré held out her finger and punctured the huge bubble.

"Boom" the heavens and the earth changed color, and in a huge roar, a huge white whale swam out of the broken foam. Compared to it, Ayu's body was as insignificant as a small drop of water.

This is the legendary fantasy creature, the fantasy wind fish.

It came out of Ayo's body and wagged its tail leisurely, and flew directly into the sky.

With it at its center, a vast ever-changing world began to expand and spread.

Sure enough, she was the key. Well, the masquerade begins. After flicking Ayu's soft cheek, Carré looked satisfied.

Ayu, who was taken out of the Wind Fish, seemed to have lost something very important, and he fell asleep like that, losing the ability to sense everything around him.

"Lend me all your strength for the time being, don't resist, it's useless to resist. Carré placed her hand on Ayu's heart and began to close her eyes.

Centered on where Carré stood, countless starlights began to intertwine and disperse, announcing the true beginning of the masquerade ball amid the whistling of the Wind Fish. ,

............

"The key to the resurrection, is Ayu?" Ulysses looked at the pictures recorded by Sharon in disbelief, originally thinking that Ayu was just unfortunately caught, but he didn't expect that she was the most important core of this resurrection ritual from the beginning.

"According to my calculations, the probability is as high as more than 90 percent. In addition, there is also something unusual about the circuit of this Radiant Academy, as if it was prepared for this resurrection ceremony. Sharon faithfully reported the results she had received to Ulysses.

Although there are still some details that cannot be analyzed, one of the several necessities of the resurrection ritual known as the "masquerade" has been identified.

The "method of evoking the soul" that makes up the ball.

The "Star Messenger" who held the dance party

"Wind Fish" with the support and cooperation of the dance party

Open the dance party and summon the key to the Wind Fish, "Ayu"

"Master, if you want to fulfill your wishes, get them all. Recently, she is the easiest to get her hands on. Sharon pointed to the girl hanging from the cross in the picture, emphasizing a cross.

"I suggest that the capture operation be launched now and catch her as quickly as possible. Well, I know where she is. ”

It turns out that if you want to resurrect Yuria, you have to ask Ayu to help? Ulysses looked at the figure of the girl who usually liked to bump into him, and even more like to eat carved fish grill, and made up his mind.

No matter what he asked him to do, he would ask Yayu to help him, even if he wanted to carve fish for her every day.

However, Ulysses would not have imagined that this matter would be even more difficult than he imagined, so difficult that it would make him collapse.
