Where do you start?

I think it started when I was born, I was born in Hallownest, I have no father, no mother, and some are just relatives...... The whole hive is a kinship, although there aren't many people left.

Everyone said that Hallownest was dead, many floors had been abandoned, and generations of Hallownest had waited for their master to return, but without a master, not even the master's relatives no longer appeared.

We are nothing more than self-disciplined machines that are not needed.

The elders always said that, and then one day, he didn't wake up anymore and was carried away by everyone and sent to the decomposition pool.

The Holy Hive worm people grew up here and returned here.

Originally, I should have been like this, but after seeing the books in the Hallownest, my younger self became curious about the world outside the Hallownest, and it must be a beautiful world that is not inferior to the Hallownest.

With such thoughts, with the help of his friends, he escaped from the Hallownest through the vent, originally wanting to leave with his friends, but he smiled and shook his head to refuse.

You can't hear me singing, he said.

Why, you obviously say that I sing very well.

Why?

Although I don't understand, but since I have walked out of the Hallownest, I have no idea of going back, this world is so beautiful, the sky is no longer dirt and metal, and the air is not as turbid as in the Hallownest, I want to witness this world and see the place where our master once lived.

The little bug paused at this point, and Marlin shook his head, "You've been disappointed, haven't you?" ”

Yes.

He said so, and continued to talk to herself.

Human cities are so dirty, adults are so ugly in their hearts, and they are so annoying to chase their cubs, are these humans really the same as their masters, all humans? It's completely different from the books.

But in any case, it is a view that cannot be seen in the Hallownest.

Seventeen years old outside, I met a human cub, unlike other cubs, who didn't think of catching me with a net, just sat there, motionless, silent.

Even if I flew past him and stopped in front of him, he just continued his silence.

He sat there for a day and a night, and I stole food from a nearby human store, and this time he reacted, running as fast as he could, shouting loudly to the bakery owner who was chasing him, that he didn't steal the bread...... We ran so fast that the store manager couldn't catch up with us.

It wasn't until he had eaten the bread that I heard his story from him.

Dad died, killed by Chaos; Mom died, and she was also killed by Chaos; There are also sisters and grandfathers, and grandmothers and brothers.

He was the only one in the family who survived hiding in the well.

Chaos is such a villain, he has lived in this world for seventeen years, and he has seen a worse situation than this, and the humans in the entire city are facing death because of the selfish desires of a few people...... Humans are such a strange race.

Wandering with this little child, although not as free as before, following him, you can always see another side of the people of this world that you don't expect.

The bakery owner who would run after him was actually deliberately unable to outrun him.

A scoundrel who would force him to do laundry every day, but every time he deliberately left a few cents in his pocket.

Every time the police gentleman arrested him for theft and other crimes, he actually did it when he was hungry, so that at least he would not starve to death if he had prison food.

Everyone is living in their own way, and he is good, and everyone is good.

Years passed through the days of wandering, and one day, he came back and, instead of choosing to go to the bakery, sat down.

I'm going to be a soldier.

What is a soldier and can you eat it?

I was very curious, and followed him into the barracks, only to find out that there were still people in this world who were willing to fight Chaos.

The first time he practiced, he didn't run long before he could run, and the old gentleman and the big guy were discussing whether to drive him away.

I wanted to help him, so I ...... In the end, he was chosen as the master.

Our Sons of the Holy Nest, from the moment they were made, were just for this moment, but everyone was waiting for the master before, and now they have chosen the master.

The next day, he finished his training and was very good, the old gentleman and the big man both said so.

It's great to help him, and make me realize that helping a human being and seeing him happy is such a happy thing.

From that day on, his fate changed, and so did mine, and we went to the north together, and defeated many, many Chaos, killed them, and cut off their heads.

The old grandfather of Hallownest always said that human beings are each other's ladder to happiness.

I didn't know it before, but after coming here, I realized that chaos is also a human being, otherwise how could they become a ladder for his promotion.

It's just that chaos is a bad guy, and if you beat a bad guy, you must be a good guy.

It was the most carefree time, the happiest day, I would always sing to him, he would always smile and look into the distance.

It would be nice if days like this could be all the time.

It's just that the old man also told me that the longer the happy days, the more unfortunate suffering, that time, he encountered a very large chaos, it was difficult to fight, in order to help him, I was very seriously injured, and he hurt his leg.

We killed the Chaos, he was promoted several ranks, and my limbs were broken, it was a sacrifice to protect him, I don't regret it, I still stay with him, sing for him, although my limbs are broken, I can still repair myself, it just takes time.

That all changed until she showed up, and I found out that he loved to hear her sing...... He couldn't actually hear my singing, he couldn't hear my vows that I liked him, and that smile was all on her.

I...... It's just a tool, and if it's broken, it can be thrown away.

I don't want to be thrown away, I go on my own, even if there is nothing.

I was struggling in the gutter, and just as I was about to slide into the abyss, I saw Vasp, the brightest light in my dark eyes, my salvation, she even betrayed herself for me, just to buy me a potion......

I went to hell, but I was saved.

………………

Marin sat on a chair made of twigs from the World Tree, and couldn't help frowning as he listened to the tiny insect man in front of him say all this—what the hell is this, autonomic organism armor, this era before the First Era is far beyond Marin's imagination.

And this autonomous organism armor sounds distorted, it is distorted because it has a self-mind? Who would be the trigger for it? It's the stinky bird who learns his tongue, or the guy who only remembers fighting in his head.

Thinking of this, Marlin looked at the two little things again, Mira, it is the name of this autonomic organism's armor, it is now in a repaired state, so it is so slow when it is planted.

This can also prove that the reason why those insects outside have such a hard carapace must be the larvae released when it is aberration.

Still a nano-creature, Marin sighed.

And about the him and her that Mira said, Marin felt a headache even more, he took out the newspaper from his satchel, pointed to the lord and his bride above, and said, "This is what you said about him and her." ”

How do you know.

Mira asked in surprise.

"Look at your heartless appearance, you were sold and helped to count the money, if it weren't for Vasp picking you up, you would be a xenomorph by now." Marin said as he looked at Mira in the blue sheath in front of him.

The latter was silent for a moment, and then her cries collided in Marin's ears and head like surround sound.

Vasp's also began to tremble, and visible distortions appeared on her.

"If you want Vasper to die, then keep crying, and when she becomes a xenomorph, I'll kill her with one stab." Marin cocked his legs.

Of course, this is just to scare her, Marin is sure that this little girl named Vasp must have impressed Mira with her sincerity, let her get out of the distorted path, and regain her vision and expectation for the future...... Then again, what kind of self-consciousness do you have in autonomic organism armor, how boring humans were before the great destruction, can't you add a law of three or something else to control it?

Or do they simply want to be a creator, a ......? God?

Perhaps it is because of this that it will eventually usher in destruction.

When mortals don't have mortal realization, the world will laugh and watch the lost mortals destroy themselves as quickly as possible.

Sighing like this, Marin saw that the distortion on Vasp's body was gone, and Mira stopped her crying.

Vasp is a good friend of mine, she lent me her body to restore me to my senses, she is my eternal benefactor.

It said this, and then called out Vasp's name with some uneasiness, and this friendship made Marin somewhat relieved - perhaps it was because of such a selfless friendship that she was able to save Mira, although Vasp, a little girl, had done something that she should not have done at her age in order to survive, but at least, her thirst for life and love for friends, Marin saw it.

"I'm fine, Mira......" The girl gasped twice, then raised her head and looked at Marin: "Sir, I see that you are wearing the clothes of a priest, may I ask, can we live." ”

"Your friend Mira hasn't answered me yet, how can I bring back the people who are possessed by worms outside?"

They can't come back alive, and the worm fetuses I release when they are aberrated cannot be recovered, and they are usually soldiers who operate dead bodies at once.

Hearing Mira's answer, Marin sighed: "Fever is the first stage of infection, right? ”

Yes, after forty-eight hours, the process is irreversible.

Marin lowered his legs, held his head in his hands, and looked at the ground mixed with stone and metal plates under his feet in a low voice, and was silent for a moment in pain and struggle, and finally raised his head to look at Mira on Vaspur's chest: "Only by killing you can we stop their activity, right." ”

Yes, you ...... You know us, sir.

"Sir! Don't kill Mira! Please! She's pathetic, isn't she! The girl looked at Marin with a sad expression.

Marin smiled wryly and nodded: "Yes, she is pitiful, but what can I do, my friends, my lovers, my friends all came to this city by train this morning, and they are all infected...... They I love, Maya, Faye, Jessica, Lilim, Cross...... For you, maybe it's just five unfamiliar names, like the innocents of this city. ”

With that, Marin stood up, and Fio, who had transformed into a forest, and her friend returned to Marin's arm.

"But for me, they are priceless, and they are something I must protect...... Please start the distortion, I can't do it with you guys. Speaking of this, there was a hint of bitterness in the smile on Marin's face: "Please...... Give me a reason not to kill you against my conscience. ”

"Nope! You can't kill Sister Mira! Vasp screamed and shielded the sheath on his chest with both hands.

No, Vasper, put your hands down, okay, I'm your sister Mira.

Mira's call eventually caused Vasp to drop her hand, and she, along with her sister, looked at Marin with her dull insect eyes.

I feel your struggling heart, the owner of these names must have a very important place in your heart...... I am so envious, if only I could be so important in his heart.

At this point, Mira was silent for a moment, and then continued to speak:

I will end my life on myself in return for not killing Vasp, but in the same way, you have to promise me that Vasp will live until she faces the death that awaits her in her old age.

"Nope! Don't do that! Sister Mira! ”

Shut up, my sister, I'm doing your good!

After a brief but quick argument, Mira continued her deal.

Is it okay, Mr. Marin, you are the only person I can trust in this city.

"Why believe me." Marin was puzzled, and he stood there looking at it.

Because of the light that came down from behind you, I saw a human form of light, and he was smiling at me, a warm light that I had never seen before.

Marin walked sideways, turned his head, and saw some familiar figures, facing the true god, he chose to lower his head: "Hello...... And, good afternoon, Lord of Justice. ”

"Good afternoon, Marin, it seems that you need a witness for this transaction, and I, willing to testify for you, little thing, Vaspu will become an apprentice of my church, such an arrangement, are you satisfied?" Anonymous said to Mira.

Greetings to you, Great Being, you have come to fill this cold tomb with warmth—Mira was silent for a moment, then continued—I'm sorry, but I have only one compliment in my thesaurus that best suits you.

"It's all right, kid, do you have anything else to put on the scales?" Anonymous asked.

Mian was silent for a moment, then finally spoke.

Kill him, okay, this is my last plea, Mr. Marin, you can refuse me, and I am willing to die if you refuse me, but ...... I'm so stupid, why didn't I find out sooner that he didn't hear me.

Marin was silent.

"Cel Kate will be present in the exhibition match after the Central Province competition, if you think you can, I can arrange one for you, including gloves, is there anything else you want to know." Anonymous smiled and looked at Marlin.

Marin remained silent.

Enough, all this was just my whispers before I died, the old grandfather of Hallownest once scolded me for wanting to leave Hallownest, saying that the outside world was very dangerous...... I don't believe it, but I was wrong.

If I could do it all over again, I would definitely wait for you, and in every life, every life, I would be your spear and armor.

Vaspur, goodbye.

The sheath began to fall off Vasp's body, and as it was about to fall, Marin looked up at Mira as Vasp let out a cry of grief.

"I agreed, I would kill Cel Kate with my own hands, and if his widow chose to duel with me, I would kill her too...... If possible, I will also send you back to Hallownest. ”

At this moment, Marin seemed to hear Mira's most pleasant voice of thanks.

Thank you, Mr. Marin, for giving me what I wanted at the last minute.

"Don't thank me, you know what, the song you sang...... Very nice to hear. With that, Marin walked up to Vasp, then stretched out his hand, waited, and finally caught the falling sheath.

Thank you, listeners, and farewell......

One last whisper came from her ear, and the liquid in the sheath began to solidify, eventually changing from a container that protected her to a coffin that encased her.

Marin took a handkerchief out of his pocket, carefully wrapped it, and placed it in his space bag.

"Sister...... Dead. The worm girl asked.

"Yes." Marin looked at her, found that she had not faded her distorted appearance, and turned his head to look at Anonymous: "Your Excellency, this is ......"

"The child transferred the aberrations of Mira to herself, and the purest feelings made such a miracle that she did not lose her mind, and Mira regained her senses...... That's why I don't want to deal with them, they want revenge with the purest love...... This decision was made known to my old friends. Anonymous looked to the other side of the tomb, Marin turned his head, and Fio jumped to the top, shining a light that made Marin see the little girl standing in the shadows.

"Don't say it, my old friend." The girl had the same square ears as Marin, and she smiled and walked up to Marin: "Child, you have taken this sacred path of revenge, then you must complete it, remember, either end the life of Cel Kate, or wait to be terminated by him, revenge can only be taken by you to live or die." ”

With that, she disappeared into the tomb.

"I'm leaving, although I don't care how long I stay in this world, but the world probably cares a lot, so I'm looking forward to the moment when you stand on the field, and I will personally hand over this child to the bishop of the church here." As he spoke, Vasp floated to his side.

"Your Excellency, why did you agree with me to kill Cel Kate?" Marin asked.

"The guy who betrayed his friend, who is qualified to defend himself in front of me, as a child like you said, everyone has to pay for their choices, Mira paid, you paid, now it's Mr. Cel Kate's turn." With that, the god disappeared behind the portal, and he took Vasp with him, leaving only a goodbye.

"Good afternoon, then, and goodbye, Marlin."

Before he could say goodbye, Marin was silent for a moment, then glanced at the brother who was himself in the coffin, and finally climbed up the soft ladder at the entrance of the cave where he had jumped.

The city was still as quiet, and Marin paused abruptly before he could take a step, and he turned his head to look at the mass of ash by the wall, the psionic wind blowing through it, lifting them into the air.

Well, good afternoon, and goodbye, Mr. Professor.
