Garrett stood in the mud, the dense foliage of the towering trees completely obscuring the sunlight, and darkness dominating the area.

He closed his eyes, listened to the sounds of death and corruption, and felt the withering of all things.

This is life, a never-ending cycle.

He pulled his feet out of the dirt and kept moving through the endless mud, looking for a light that would never penetrate the leaves.

In a trance, he didn't know how long it was, maybe a minute, maybe a whole year, and he suddenly realized that he was no longer in the mud.

There were a few white clouds in the blue sky, the sun was swaying wantonly on the grass, and the fresh air rushed from his nose into his lungs, driving all the negativity out of his lungs.

It's a vast grassland.

A girl was standing behind him with an innocent smile.

"Lilith. Garrett smiled and turned his head to crouch down, holding out his hands.

The cute blonde girl laughed and ran to Garrett and crashed into his arms like a gust of wind.

The young man lifted the girl's soft body and shook it in mid-air:

"Fly. ”

The girl was teased by her father and giggled.

"I really can't stand you two father and daughter, don't overdo it. A helpless female voice came from behind the man.

Garrett turned his head, and a tall beauty with the same hair color as her daughter was looking at the two of them dotingly.

Garrett touched his daughter's nose and laughed:

"Ignore her, let's keep playing. ”

The woman looked at the girl and her husband tenderly:

"You're going to work, aren't you?"

Garrett looked at Lilith with loving eyes, and reluctantly put him on the ground:

"I'm going to quit this job in a while and take you with me to live in Wharton. ”

The woman asked in surprise:

"Did you get a job at Wharton?"

She can't wait for her husband to leave the city, where she feels only depressed, and he has to work until the early hours of the morning before he can come home, and it has been a long time since the family had fun and played together like today.

Gallade nodded and said:

"Of course, you don't have to worry about money. ”

He had a secret account with enough extra property to buy a whole estate in Wharton and hire dozens of servants, if not more than enough.

The only question is how to get out of his current life, but he already has a good plan.

Not far from the three of them, an iron gate stood alone in the middle of the meadow.

Garrett put on his work clothes with the help of his wife, gave her an affectionate kiss before saying goodbye, and walked with firm steps towards the lonely iron door.

He opened the door.

The door was dim, as if it was about to devour all life that came in, and the sound of electricity and metal clashing roared behind it, and the terrified screams and wails of countless monsters rang out in one after another.

The white clouds behind them floated leisurely in the blue sky.

He walked in and closed the door.

At the moment when the door closed, Garrett seemed to be able to see that the clear sky was instantly enveloped by gloomy dark clouds, and the storm turned into a sharp blade, surrounding the two people in the middle, and a touch of his familiar bright red seemed to appear in the middle of the storm. 、

The man who closed the door instantly aged his twenties, his temples were slightly white, and his untreated beard covered half of his face in a mess.

He put on the white coat handed to him by his assistant, and hid the clothes that his wife had put on for him in a place where he could not even see.

The old man picks up a cup of coffee:

"How's it going?

Blonde female assistant holding papers:

"The results are not encouraging, the people we sent seem to have angered it, it has already killed thirteen volunteers. ”

The old man put down his coffee and asked suspiciously:

"Then why don't you continue to test? Are there not enough volunteers? Then recruit a few more, anyway, for them, there is no difference between trying out a new drug and facing monsters, they still want to die and leave a large inheritance." ”

Although the claimed mortality rate was about 40%, all the volunteers who witnessed their experiments turned out to die.

Of course, they would leave 60% of the volunteers for a so-called "drug trial", feed a few pills that had no effect, give them enough money to squander for a while, and then send them away.

The female assistant denied it:

"No, there are enough volunteers, but they need to be used for other experiments, and the deputy director said that your current behavior is nothing more than a waste of precious resources, director, your mental state is not right......"

Garrett looked at the female assistant with bloodshot eyes:

"What did you say?"

The female assistant was silent for a while:

"Nothing. ”

Garrett said emotionlessly:

"Keep experimenting. ”

The female assistant lowered her head and commanded the people around her.

As the sound of machinery sounded, a metal wall in front of Garrett slowly parted to the sides, and a transparent layer of composite glass appeared in front of Garrett.

The facility's best scientists couldn't help but breathe harder.

A five-meter-tall monstrous monster squatted on the ground, most of his body was wrapped in silver-white metal, the giant beast in the silver cage could not even struggle slightly, and whenever his body emitted a light blue firefly-like light, the machine would output a burst of high-voltage electricity, completely destroying his desire for freedom.

With Garrett's gesture, the electromagnetic shackles on the huge monster kept falling off, leaving only the basic safety measures.

A two-person tall metal cylinder slowly protrudes from the ground, the cylinder opens the movable door, and a woman dressed in white is standing in the center.

The woman squatted on the ground screaming the moment she saw the beast

She covered her mouth and cried:

"What is this? I'm just here to experiment with new drugs, and my baby is still waiting for me to get the money to go home and be cured, who the hell are you? ”

The woman looked at Garrett through the transparent material:

"You're a liar, aren't you afraid that the police and the Knights will arrest you? ”

Garrett looked indifferent:

"We're really experimenting with new drugs, but it's not you who took the medicine. ”

The woman looked at the motionless monster, mustered up the courage to stand up, and ran barefoot towards the transparent layer, she slammed her body into the transparent layer with all her might, but was helplessly bounced back to the ground.

Garrett thought it was a little funny, this was made of composite materials that even monsters couldn't break, how could a mother who had been malnourished all year round break it.

The woman slammed hard, and cried out heartbreakingly:

"Let me out! Let me out! Rei is still waiting for me. ”

Garrett comforted:

"Don't worry, I promise that the money will be sent to your family according to the amount on the contract. ”

There are two lines of bitter tears on the woman's face:

"If I die here, my daughter won't have anyone to take care of, and the money will only kill her. ”

Garrett showed pity, but the words he said made his mother completely desperate:

"Sorry, we are not responsible for after-sales service, I would love to sympathize with you, but the world never sympathizes with anyone. ”
