In the middle of the night, the clean moonlight illuminates the cold earth, and the whole world is silent.

In a dilapidated church, a little black girl stood on an old huge cross, with her head tilted up, her red eyes open, her eyes looking through the roof cave towards the crescent moon in the distant sky, that deep Looking at her, no one knew what she was thinking about, and the wings of the pieces were slowly falling from her side, like black snowflakes.

At the same time, a pale, frail human girl of about fifteen years old was also standing in this church, staring at the petite girl like a black angel above her.

"The black angel." The girl's voice had a malnourished morbid feeling, and she looked extremely weak, but there was a smile on her face, and she gently stretched out her hand to call, as if she wanted to touch the black angel.

The angel lowered his head, moved his gaze from the crescent moon to the human girl, and said blankly: "I should have said it several times, I am not an angel."

"I know, the mercury lamp, right?" The not-so-friendly treatment did not arouse the girl's disgust at all. She still smiled and said, "But in my heart you are an angel. The first time I see you, I will I see... Ah, it's finally time, the black angel who came to take my life, now, when will it take my life?"

Listening to the girl calmly and naturally talking about the topic of her own death, as if discussing something that has nothing to do with her, the mercury lamp shrugged her shoulders helplessly, "Hehe, I really didn't expect that there are still images among humans. You who beg for death like this, even for death, come here to see me every day...Do you really want to die so much?"

"Yeah." The girl replied without hesitation. The girl sat down on a dirty chair, leaned slightly, and said without affection, "In the beginning, I said that I could only live to be five years old, but I didn't die, and then At the age of seven or ten, I didn’t die when I was supposed to die. During this time, everyone was tired. Think about it, no matter how you extend your life, you will die immediately. This is still the same, so it’s better to die quickly. ."

"You know? During the day today, my parents came to see me. Although they pretended to be very happy and told me that everything would be fine, their faces were full of exhaustion, as if they were sorry for me... this It's all my fault. They would be much easier if they didn't have me. After all, I am a broken child, useless trash, not as perfect as Miss Angel."

Huh!

With the slight wind blowing, the mercury lamp fell down, sitting on the back of the chair where the girl was sitting, and looking at the smiling girl next to her, "That's a matter of course, but I want to be the perfect for Alice." Dolls are two completely different beings from you."

"Yes."

"But..." The Mercury Lantern turned his head again, looked into the distance, and said to himself, "It's trash or something, don't say it lightly. Even if it's a broken body, it can't be called trash. The few remaining lives also have meaning. Even if it is something that has disappeared, as long as there is still someone thinking about it, there is a hope of living...No one lives for the sake of death."

"Miss Angel..."

The Mercury Lantern reached out and lifted the girl's chin, almost looking down at her against her face, with a wicked smile on her mouth, "It's a pity, the thing I hate the most is human beings, vulgar and greedy, stubborn and cowardly. Just like you. , The stubborn desire to die, the cowardly hope that using death to escape the responsibilities and pain of living is really hard to see the extreme, so I will not help you fulfill your wish to die... Remember, I am not an angel."

"Well, it's a mercury lamp." The girl nodded with the same expression as before.

The Mercury Lantern moved his hand away and said again: "It takes more courage and more strength to live than death. It also requires more strength. A dying and powerless body like you has no hope, but I will give you life. The power to go down."

"Why? I don't want to live." The girl said suspiciously.

"Didn’t I say that, I am not an angel, let alone help humans, so when I leave, for you who long for death, I will fulfill your opposite wish, and then when you no longer long for death one day, you will live When I go down full of hope, I will appear in front of you again. At that time, I will take your life." After speaking, the mercury lamp slowly floated up and flew towards the night sky, "This is the devil's Make an appointment, don’t forget.”

"Angel...Mercury lamp, where are you going?" The girl quickly got up and asked anxiously.

"I have sent out an invitation to my sisters and will now set out to take their lives."

The girl stared blankly at the black angel gradually merging into the night sky. Just as the other party was about to disappear, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and said loudly, "Kakizaki Megumi! My name is Kakizaki Megumi!"

"I will remember it as a proof that I will come to take your life next time."

When the voice fell, the mercury lamp had completely disappeared into the night sky, but before she left, she gave the human girl named Kakizaki Megumi the strength and hope to live.

"Be sure to come back, Mercury Lamp... this is an agreement."

The girl looked up at the silent night sky and smiled and said, although the mercury lamp did not take her life, but gave her the strength to live, but in her heart, the mercury lamp is still her angel, so she hopes to live and live Until the mercury lamp appeared in front of her again and took her life.

...

It has been a month since Mercury Lantern left the Ming Realm and returned to the world where she was born. Although she felt that her father must be here and almost searched the entire world, there was no clue. , And finally she stopped in this city with the presence of Rozen Maiden.

The meaning of the Rozen Maiden War is to give birth to the most perfect doll Alice in her father’s ideals. Although Mercury Lamp has been working hard for this for countless years, she only hopes to be with her father forever since she met her father. It's good to be around. As for whether you can become Alice, it doesn't matter anymore.

But now that her father has disappeared, she has to start the war again, because gathering all the Virgin of the Rosary will make Alice the perfect doll. This is the only hope she can think of to find her father. .

Although the goal is clear, she has been hesitating, but this hesitation also ends here.

The encounter with Kakizaki Megumi was just an accident, but for the mercury lamp, this encounter was of great significance... As she herself said, it takes more courage to live than to die, so she swung the butcher knife at her sister. Men, it takes more courage than to live.

However, if she didn't even have such courage, the meaning of her returning to this world would no longer exist.

Although no longer hostile to other Rozen Maidens, although originally decided not to participate in the Alice game, if it is for the father, then...not to mention the sisters, even if you personally ruin the entire world, you will not hesitate!

This is her current consciousness.

The first doll is a mercury lamp, the second doll is a canary, the third doll is a green star stone, the fourth doll is a blue star stone, the fifth doll is really red, the sixth doll is a young berry, and although it is clear that it exists It's still there, but it's never appeared, I don't know if it's been asleep or what, there is no information, even the most mysterious seventh doll that doesn't even know its name... This is all the Rozen Maidens.

Since the Rozen Maiden was born to the present, even they themselves don’t know how long has passed, hundreds or thousands of years? The only thing that is certain is that ordinary humans born at the same time as them have already turned into bones.

And in such a long time, in order to become the most perfect dolls and fulfill the wishes of the fathers who made them, this war called Alice Game Sisters to kill each other has happened one after another. Several times, in addition to the most mysterious seventh doll, the other six Rozen Maidens have more or less friction and battle, but they have never decided the winner.

The reason for this result is that apart from the fact that the Demon of Laplace has repeatedly fiddled with it, the Rozen Maidens have never awakened in the same time period, which is also the most critical reason.

However, in this era, Mercury Lantern can clearly feel that, except for the seventh doll which is still a bit fuzzy, her other five younger sisters have awakened. Therefore, in order to be able to find her father again, she asked her five This sister sent out the invitation that they must come, and then waited for their presence in the unreal world she created.

Yes, just wait, because she knows the strength of the Rozen Maidens very well. Originally, she had enough qualifications to be the strongest Rozen Maiden without relying on the media, but now she doesn’t need to say much. So she didn't need to play any tricks... As for why the Mercury Lantern invited all the roses, instead of killing them directly in the real world, only she knew.

Although it is a false world, if you look at it this way, it is no different from the real world. In a bright environment, with mountains and seas, and an endless sky, the mercury lamp stands on a tall building in this world, quietly. Waiting quietly.

Then, I don’t know how long it took, a gray vortex appeared in the calm void, and then a golden spiral-shaped double ponytail with blue eyes and a length of the ground, wearing a 19th century red queen-style dress, with noble temperament The young girl descended from the sky and appeared in front of the mercury lamp.

The first to arrive is the old enemy of the Mercury Lantern-the fifth doll is really red!
