Once upon a time.

There is a monster with no name living in a certain forest.

Monsters live a very pleasant life every day.

Until one day, it rescued a woodcutter.

The woodcutter was already wounded and dying, but he was willing to give up his name and beg the monster to save his life.

So the monster asked him why.

"Why would you rather live without your name?"

Here's how the woodcutter replied.

"I have an old mother at home, what will happen to me if I die? The reason why I want to live is not that I am afraid of death, I just don't want my mother to lose her son. ”

So, the monster ate the woodcutter and took his name, relatively, in his place to be filial to his mother.

A few years later, the old mother died of illness.

Before dying, the old mother sued the monster.

"I know you're not my son, and I'm grateful to you all these years. I don't know what your name is? Who are your parents? ”

The monster didn't know how to answer, because it didn't know its name at all.

"It's really pitiful, the names are all taken by your parents, if you really want to know your name, go find your parents."

The monster thought it was a good idea, and it set off on a journey.

The monster found a small village.

There was a poor and greedy old woman, and all she did every day was to watch the gold bars of the gold shop come and go.

The monster asks the old woman.

"Old woman, are you my mother? Do you know my name? ”

This is how the old woman replied.

"I once had a child who made me the richest man in the village, and if you can do it, you will be my child, and I will give you your name."

So the monster began to work day and night in order to make the old woman the richest of the people.

Even if it can't walk anymore, it has to lie in bed and work.

The old woman, who had received the money earned by the monster, had become the richest of the people, and she had bought the gold shop.

However, looking at the dying monster, the old woman was disgusted.

For her, monsters are at best tools to make money for her.

Knowing this fact, the monster ate the old woman and continued his journey.

This time, it came to a town.

The town is infested with all sorts of crooks, and among them is a rich and kind woman.

The monster asks the woman.

"Beautiful auntie, are you my mother? Do you know my name? ”

Here's how the women answered.

"I used to have a child, but he died when he was very young. If you don't mind, be my child, and I'll give you the child's name. ”

The monster was delighted to hear this, and agreed to be a stand-in for the women and children.

What it does every day is to manage the property for the women and deal with all kinds of people who come to the door to cheat money.

But women are so kind.

I don't know through most of the scams, but complain about the monsters that drove the scammers away.

Later, almost all of the women's money was defrauded, and the last steamed bun was cheated out by the hateful beggar.

The woman was sick and dying.

Before she died, her greatest hope was to see her child, but unfortunately she could not achieve this wish.

The monster buried the woman and returned her son's name.

After eating up all the people who had cheated women out of their money, he set out on a journey again.

During the journey, the monster saves a fallen angel.

"Holy angel, are you my mother? Do you know my name? ”

This is how the fallen angels answered.

"I don't know if I have children because I've always lived in heaven. If you can bring me back to heaven again, I will make you my child and give you a name. ”

The monster was delighted, and after all the hardships, he built a stairway to the sky.

But the angel had fallen and could not climb the ladder, so she complained about the monster.

She transplanted the depravity from her body to the monster and pushed the monster into hell.

In hell, the monster encounters a demon who is constantly looking up at the sky.

"Devil, are you my mother? Do you know my name? ”

The demon laughed.

"I don't have children, but I don't mind you being my baby. If you can adapt to life here, you can be my child, and I will give you a name. ”

Over there, the angels who pushed the monsters into hell were punished by God and could not return to heaven if they did not kill the demons.

So, the angel came to hell and slew the demon.

The monster was angry and wanted to eat the angel, and the angel told the monster the truth.

It turns out that she is the real mother of the monster, and because she dislikes the monster for being ugly, she abandoned the monster when she was a child.

The monster was hard to accept, I didn't expect my mother to be such a person.

Eventually, it ate the angel because it didn't need a name anymore.

Yes, it's a monster, a man-eating monster, and the monster is its name.

Once upon a time, I thought I could see through the world, and the world would unfold in front of me.

But I was wrong, so wrong.

From 'that day' onwards, the world was blackened, empty except for the black of fear and unease.

Yes, from that day on, the world became too narrow to accommodate everything else.

Even a gentle sobbing is such a luxury.

"So, the monster woke up to the meaning of its own existence, and it was no longer happy."

So the monster left the haunting place and set out on its journey again, this time its eyes a pitch black color.

"As a result, the world can no longer tolerate the existence of monsters, and monsters do not forgive the world for playing with themselves like this."

Ximen Mingling, who was standing on the ground, casually put down the picture book he was holding in his hand.

Her eyes were so lonely, so empty, that they couldn't tolerate any color.

She quietly looked at the pile of flesh and blood on the ground, and looked at the head of the clone of Ximen Shengxue that was lying quietly on the ground less than a meter in front of her.

Why laugh?

Why do you laugh when you are treated like this by your own daughter?

Simon didn't understand, but she only knew one thing.

That's the smile that hung on the head of Ximen Shengxue's clone, it was so eye-catching.

I wanted to destroy this last head, but I found that I couldn't move forward, as if I was being pressed by a jack.

At the same time, there was a faint sense of affection in his heart, but Ximen Mingling was very afraid.

She feared that if she confessed that feeling, she would no longer be herself, and even the black meaning that sustained her would be gone.

In that case, you will lose yourself in the direction you are heading forward, like the monster in the picture book who doesn't know your name.

"What about monsters?"

Simon Mingling pulled out an inexplicable smile from the corner of his mouth.

[Eldest sister, are you going to leave this house too? 】

[Mingling......, it's not like this, I'm just ......, I'm just ......, I'm sorry. 】

[Why apologize?] 】

[I'm sorry......, Mingling, the eldest sister is just ......, I'm sorry. 】

【……】

[I really envy Ruqin, obviously my mother will automatically erase her memory every day when she wakes up, but Ruqin has always insisted on telling her mother about us. Unlike me, I can't stand this anymore, I'm such a coward. 】

[So, did the eldest sister leave this house because of this? 】

[Perhaps.] Mingling, I'm not afraid to tell you, what happened when I was a child, I have always remembered it vividly, and I will wake up from nightmares every time because of it. I always felt like something was missing in my heart from that day on, and then something was constantly expanding, and I was scared, I was afraid that if I stayed in this house again, I didn't know what I would do. 】

What does bloat mean? 】

[I don't know. However, if you really want to describe it, it's a monster. 】

[Monster? What monsters? 】

[Do you remember the fairy tale "The Monster Looking for a Name" that my mother used to read to us when I was a child? The cruel truth made the monster wake up, and since then he has become no longer happy, and has become a real monster, a man-eating monster. On that day, looking at the father who killed my mother, such a monster was born in our hearts. 】

[I still don't understand.] This monster or something, is that the reason why you really left this house, big sister? 】

[Mingling, one day you will understand, but by then, it will be too late. So, do you want to run away from this home with your eldest sister? 】

[I...... I'm here to stay. 】

[Really? Then let's do it for yourself, the eldest sister is gone. 】

"It's really a monster."

Ximen Mingling suddenly pressed his heart, and then said as if muttering: "Eldest sister, you are right, it has grown so big." ”

As she spoke, Simon Mingling laughed, with tears in her laughter, which looked so funny and awkward.

On the other side, Ye Feiye, who entered the 'Nuclear Shelter', showed a stunned look.

"Hey, that's a joke, isn't it? It's a nuclear vault, it's like an underground city. ”

No wonder Ye Feiye was so surprised.

Generally speaking, when you think of a nuclear shelter, you think of an underground bomb shelter in the old days.

In fact, these two are the same thing, the difference is that with the development of the times, weapons have been replaced, so the way of defense is more advanced.

The 'nuclear shelter' located underground was originally intended for high-rise construction, so it is naturally different from the 'nuclear shelter' that is open to civilians.

The high-level is always the high-level, the existence of the fate of all people, so even if they take refuge in such a place, they must still show their identity and value.

So this 'nuclear shelter' is the size of half a football field in terms of area.

A variety of facilities such as hospitals, shops, swimming pools, etc., are available to make it easy for the upper floors to hide in this area as if they were going to play.

Well, it's not hard to understand why it's abandoned here.

With so many facilities, just updating the equipment is a big expense, and it's better to build a new one.
