The campfire reflected the shadows of the rocks beside the camp, and the light and shadow of the ground were somewhat mottled and swayed with the beating of the flames.

At first facing the flames, she couldn't feel the warmth of the flames, maybe even if she put her hand in the fire, she couldn't feel anything.

She remained silent, after Mann offered to let her tell her about her past.

"Isn't that okay?" Mann smiled regretfully, but didn't ask persistently.

"You can't hear me. Chu shook his head, and his hoarse voice sounded like a night owl whispering in the night.

Mann didn't understand what Chu meant, why he couldn't hear it, he turned his head to look at Hatsu, and was about to say something.

But then, he saw Chu stretch out a finger and point it on his forehead, and a cold touch came from his forehead.

Mann was stunned, and before he could realize what he was going to do, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes, as if he had been caught in another world.

When he could see his surroundings again, he found himself in a wasteland, the sky and the ground blood-colored.

He raised his eyes to look at the wilderness, and then, in distraction, froze in place.

There were corpses everywhere, stumps scattered all over the ground, blood submerging the ground.

Among the corpses that fell to the ground, some were people, some were creatures he had never seen. Their deaths were of a variety of appearances, with faces that were either hideous or fearful.

They were so unwilling, each of them stared blankly at the low-pressure sky with their own godless eyes.

The air smelled of blood, and it was hard to be thick, as if the air had been soaked in blood, and it became viscous and heavy.

How many corpses there were, Mann couldn't count, he only knew that the corpses had reached the end of his gaze, and the number was in the thousands.

His breathing became rapid, his face was pale, and his forehead was sweating, and the corpses on the ground seemed to be smiling at him, and he was alone.

He had never seen so many corpses, nor had he ever seen such a horrific sight, and this place seemed to be the so-called hell.

At this time, he saw a figure in the center of the corpse, a pitch-black figure, holding a pitch-black long knife in his hand, and the blade was dripping with sticky blood.

The figure seemed to notice him as well, and turned around.

It was the beginning, and Mann recognized the beginning, but it was not the beginning, because her breath was so strange, and in the oppressive black, there was endless tyranny and ferocity.

Finally Mann couldn't bear it anymore and took a step back, and the world before him went dark again.

"Ahh

In the real world, Mann by the campfire exclaimed, propped his hands and feet on the ground, and sat back a few steps until he leaned against a rock.

"Whew, whew, whew. Mann sweated, gasping heavily.

It was still quiet, and the campfire made a faint crackling sound, but luckily his exclamation was not loud enough to attract the rest of the camp.

At first glance, Mann looked frightened, and with an apologetic look on his face, he whispered.

"I'm sorry. ”

That's why she said that Mann couldn't hear it, and that the scene she showed Mann was just a scene she had experienced in the Apostolic Wasteland.

It was the time when the slaughter in the wasteland had just begun, probably only a few years ago, and she was deeply involved in the killing, her human nature was already twisted, and her heart was full of tyranny and murder.

Chu stopped talking, sat by the fire and closed his eyes, as if ready to rest.

Mann leaned against the stone and gasped, the silence of the night, the dry, bloodless ground telling him that what he had just seen was an illusion.

But it took him a long time to calm down.

The boy looked at the messenger sitting by the fire with a complicated look, and he understood why he had told him at first that he could not listen to her. But he couldn't help but think back to what he had seen in the illusion before.

What did Chu do standing in that corpse, did she kill those people, and why did she kill them.

He had too many questions, but he couldn't ask them anymore. Because he knew that he couldn't even bear a scene of what he had experienced for the first time, let alone help share it.

By the fire, only the sound of a bonfire was left. After a long time, the boy took a shallow breath and looked at Chu and said.

"At the beginning, one day, I will listen to you tell you everything. ”

Chu opened her eyes slightly, and under the reflection of the flames, the black eyes were hollow, only the lonely flames danced silently.

Hatsu didn't answer Mann, in fact all she could tell him about the wasteland, corpses, and blood. She can't tell Hillman, she can't tell Sakurako, she can't tell about robots, she can't tell Lawrence.

Because she had taken away their sins and had returned what they had given her, they were already innocent and had nothing to do with her, and their stories no longer belonged to her.

"Sleep. Chu slowly closed his eyes again: "I have to go tomorrow." ”

Mann looked at it for a moment, then nodded in response, "Hmm." ”

He lay down by the fire and closed his eyes.

But after a while, he felt something draped over him, a black cloak, condensed from the first evil.

It's been a little chilly tonight.

Mann shrunk back and slept peacefully in his cloak. Probably that's why he's not afraid of Hatsu, he believes that Hatsu isn't a villain.

The next day, the soldiers in the camp got up early, and they headed for Hescama with Mann and Chu.

The road between the rocks is wide, the clear and cloudless sky seems far away, and the scenery to the west is always so beautiful as a rough mine, but it is dangerous.

That is until they meet the city of Hiskama, the fortress between the peaks.

The towering city walls almost sink into the clouds, so that people can't look up to the top of the city, and the huge city gate occupies the mountain road, so that those standing in front of the city can't help but sigh their insignificance.

After the soldiers had made a messenger, the gates slowly opened.

I don't know why, after the soldiers in the team passed on what they had experienced, the soldiers in the city always looked at Chu with a strange eye. Of course, I didn't really care about it at first.

Mann surveyed the city curiously, filled with passing soldiers and camps. His eyes were full of novelty, everything was as he expected, there was so much he hadn't seen before.

They made their way to the city, and it seemed that the soldiers were going to see them, which made Mann even more excited, and it was the first time he had the opportunity to meet such a big man.
