Chapter 566
After entering the room, Luo Mio heard Relli's voice behind her.
Relli smiled and said to Luo Mio.
"This is for you, Bianca. See you at the beach later."
Luo Mio silently watched Relli leave after taking the storage box, then lowered her head to open the box and look at its contents.
Luo Mio's eyebrows twitched slightly when she saw what was inside.
"..."
——
At the seaside, on the dazzling white sand and by the clear blue sea.
Girls dressed in brightly colored clothes gathered on the beach.
The girls were all wearing swimsuits, revealing their fair and delicate skin and enviable figures.
"By the way, where's Instructor Bianca?"
Lisha looked around and asked curiously.
"Huh? What do you want?"
At that moment, Luo Mio's voice also rang out behind Lux and Lisha.
At this moment, Luo Mio had changed into... a swimsuit? Or rather, summer clothes...
She wore light white shorts, a blue sleeveless T-shirt that gradually faded from top to bottom, and a transparent, raincoat-like jacket over it.
Her hair, which had always been tied in a single ponytail, was now loose and flowing down her back.
He was also wearing a pair of sunglasses on his forehead.
She was wearing cool white and purple high-heeled sandals.
Looking at Luo Mio's attire, Relli blinked and then said.
"Oh, I remember I prepared a swimsuit for you, Bianca, right?"
Luo Mio rolled her eyes at Relli and said irritably.
"If you're helping your sister out, don't drag me into it."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Relli also adopted a dismissive and evasive attitude.
On the beach, Luo Mio glanced at Tirfa and the women of the 'Knight Order' who were having a great time, and then looked at Lux, who was in the harem and in the midst of a passionate affair.
After stretching gently, Luo Mio turned and walked away.
Before leaving, he spoke softly to Lux, Lisha, and the other girls.
"You can all rest and enjoy yourselves today. We'll start special training tomorrow."
Tirfa and some members of the 'Knight Order' who were having fun suddenly changed their expressions upon hearing Luo Mio's words, staring at Luo Mio in disbelief.
Tirfa also looked miserable.
Even Kurokushifa, Risha, Nokote had their lips twitching slightly, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Luo Mio.
As Luo Mio's students, they were well aware of just how arduous and torturous Luo Mio training was...
Even the third-grade students looked rather grim.
But Celestia remained calm, even a little expectant.
Perhaps among everyone, she was the only one who could withstand Luo Mio's enormous training regimen.
After leaving, Luo Mio's gaze fell on the deep sea on the other side.
In the deep sea surrounding Ries Island, a strangely shaped ship, larger than the entire island, is slowly rising.
This enormous, oddly shaped ship is one of the three ruins in the New Kingdom territory.
"The Third Relic - The Ark!"
Chapter Thirty-Four: Five Years Ago
"This must be it..."
After leaving the group, Luo Mio walked along the road through the dense forest and finally arrived at a building on a cliff.
A monastery building that looks very old.
Luo Mio looked at the dilapidated-looking monastery in front of her, a cold glint slowly appearing in her azure eyes.
In Luo Mio's eyes, the monastery before her was like hell, filled with a thick, bloody atmosphere.
The infernal blood river of hell envelops the monastery like a river.
The air was filled with a lingering, bloody smell.
Upon smelling the scent of blood, Luo Mio couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly.
The stench of blood emanating from outside the monastery was something Luo Mio had only ever smelled in one other place...
Battlefield!
Since Ries Island served as a covert military facility during the Old Empire era, it was impossible for a large-scale massacre or war to have occurred there. Therefore, there is only one possibility.
'Sometimes even noble ladies are no exception, especially when the Imperial military is selecting Human Experimentation...'
In her mind, Luo Mio recalled Relli's words.
Without a doubt, the monastery in front of us was probably a base used by the military to conduct Human Experimentation during the Old Empire era!
The thought of Human Experimentation brought back memories of Luo Mio's past experiences in the Black World.
Thinking of this, a lonely, ethereal golden light flickered in Luo Mio's eyes.
Luo Mio then walked towards the monastery gate, breathing in the lingering, sticky smell of blood in the air, and then gently snapped Luo Mio fingers.
"Smack!"
With the snap of his fingers, flames, as brilliant as stars, suddenly ignited around the monastery, centered on Luo Mio.
And these flickering flames in the air are burning away the lingering stench of blood that has settled here for so long.
Upon entering the monastery, Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly before narrowing, revealing a hint of danger in them.
Inside the room, a unique, strange musty smell lingered from the building.
Inside the room, research equipment was arranged very neatly.
The rows of stone beds were covered in dust, and the corners of the room were already filled with cobwebs.
The decaying lime on the ceiling above the room was also slowly falling down.
Upon seeing the scene before her, Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly, and her gaze fell directly on the rows of stone beds that seemed to be used for some kind of experiment.
Then Luo Mio gently stretched out her hand.
The next instant, the Perfected Form holy sword 'Blade of Immortality', which Xiao You had transformed into, appeared in Luo Mio's hand.
Luo Mio murmured softly.
"System..."
"..."
In his mind, the system paused for a moment, then sighed softly, as if knowing Luo Mio's personality, and said helplessly.
'I just can't do anything with you...'
As she spoke, the small ball of light that the system had transformed into instantly disappeared from Luo Mio's Consciousness Space.
Then it disappeared without a trace, its whereabouts unknown.
Luo Mio looked at the room in front of her, a golden glint in her eyes. The ends of her coral hair turned white, and a faint golden ring appeared behind her.
Luo Mio held the 'Blade of Immortality' in her hand, and wisps of 'Finality' aura slowly appeared on the exquisite golden sword.
Luo Mio raised her hand, wielding the 'Blade of Immortality' and slashing fiercely at the space in front of her.
The next second, a hollow, chaotic spatial rift was instantly torn open in the space in front of Luo Mio.
Looking at the spatial rift ahead, Luo Mio slowly raised her hand.
The golden diamond pattern on his forehead suddenly shone with dazzling light, and his azure eyes instantly transformed into a brilliant, empty gold.
Then an enormous force outside the rules appeared around Luo Mio.
The next moment, a spatial tremor flashed in Luo Mio's golden eyes.
The spatial rift that had been created by the 'Blade of Immortality' in front of Luo Mio was now undergoing a dramatic change.
The crack suddenly burst and expanded, eventually spreading throughout the entire monastery.
Then, in Luo Mio's perception, the surrounding space and time began to flow rapidly backward...
Or rather, within the Spacetime Rift, time and space are regressing madly.
As time went by, the time rewinding became longer and longer, and Luo Mio's gaze became colder and colder.
Final--
Five years ago.
The space near the monastery where Luo Mio is now has also been reverted to five years ago.
Looking at the monastery before her, Luo Mio felt as if she had returned to that oppressive world she had once before.
The ugliness of human nature was once again revealed to Luo Mio.
On the countless stone beds in the room, countless girls, like lab rats being manipulated, stared blankly at the stone ceiling with hopeless eyes.
Their necks and waists were bound with straps.
They had long since lost all Life Aura, and their blood had already congealed, making them seem like worthless waste, carelessly discarded and placed on the stone bed.
Luo Mio silently walked forward, looking at the girl on the stone bed in front of her, her golden eyes now extremely cold.
The girl was about eleven or twelve years old. Her very simple clothes and the calluses on her hands, even at such a young age, proved that she was just an ordinary village girl.
At this moment, there was bright red blood around the corner of her mouth, and her abdomen was covered with dried blood.
The girl's lifeless eyes revealed a helpless despair in her final moments...
Having been captured and brought here, seeing what the other girl had gone through, she must have been utterly desperate long ago.
Luo Mio remained silent, instead walking straight past each of the girls who had already died.
When Luo Mio arrived at the last stone bed, the girl looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was dressed very elegantly, and her pretty and lovely face made it clear at a glance that she was a noble lady.
But what made Luo Mio feel a tightness in her chest was...
The girl's clothes were in complete disarray, and it was immediately clear what had happened to her...
And the girl's entire body was utterly breathless...
It's hard to imagine that this is a noblewoman's daughter. This shows just how morbid and corrupt the idea of male superiority and female inferiority had become during the Old Empire period.
It seems that the captured girls are not just props for Human Experimentation... but also tools for the military researchers here to vent their frustrations. Even noble ladies cannot escape this fate.
Luo Mio lowered her eyes gently and remained silent.
However, in an instant, the atmosphere around them turned the entire room as cold as an ice cave.
As if sensing the unusual chill emanating from the entire monastery, a commotion arose from the underground passage behind the room.
Several clattering footsteps echoed from the stairs leading to the basement.
Before long, several military personnel in robes appeared in Luo Mio's line of sight.
When the other party saw Luo Mio's exquisite and unimaginable beauty, his eyes immediately revealed greed and... lust.
Perhaps mistaking Luo Mio for a resident of Ries Island, the leading captain coughed lightly and spoke to Luo Mio in a very righteous and earnest manner.
"Excuse me, miss, this area is off-limits."
Luo Mio looked at them with indifferent eyes, as if they were dead, and her clear and melodious voice was as cold as if one had fallen into an icy abyss.
"You are the ones who caused the deaths of these children."
The military personnel exchanged glances, their expressions changing, and they were just about to speak to Luo Mio when...
