Chapter 46: Hometown (End)
Since the villagers are dead, then they have to find it themselves.
Old Joey took Pego and walked over the corpses, trying to find something to eat.
The sea breeze was blowing, mixing the smell of blood with a bit of salty dampness.
Suddenly: "Hmph~"
Pego was stunned for a moment.
His cute pig nose sniffed in the air, and then, with a lot of pain, he discovered something.
The taste here, he is very familiar with!
As I said before, Pego recognizes the way or people, completely relying on his nose, so, when the smell of blood is all around, he can't tell where this is, and as for old Joey, after he falls asleep in the middle of the night, you change him to another place, and when he wakes up, it is estimated that he will not find that he has moved the place.
Anyway, this man and pig had been in the village for a full 10 minutes, and it wasn't until the sea breeze blew away the gore that Pego finally realized.
They seem to have walked back.
"What's wrong?" Old Joey asked inexplicably.
Pego sniffed it again and finally confirmed: "Here.... It's Hope Village. ”
"......" Old Joy was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded silently: "Oh." ”
He just answered.
But he already knew...... All the people in this village are dead.
Old Joey is sometimes stupid, but sometimes, his mind will be a little brighter, he knows that the death of these villagers must be related to himself, when he left a few days ago, they have already said that because he killed an angel, it will bring disaster to them.
It seems, this is the disaster.
Old Joey didn't understand why these villagers thought like this, they were almost obedient, those angels were very annoying, like those parasitic maggots on the flesh, they were big and fat, but they took care of themselves at all, and they could only survive by inserting their long breaths into the parasitic flesh, and then squirming their fat bodies and sucking juice.
But this group of villagers was so unangry that they let themselves be sucked.
Anyone who raises pigs knows that if a pig has bugs on it, it should be removed.
But if there are pigs that don't want to be killed...... That can't be helped, so Old Joy doesn't seem to care too much about the death of this group of people.
"So, let's find out if there's anything to eat."
He said lightly, but he didn't even notice that his hand, I don't know when, clenched tighter and tighter.
......
Unfortunately, there was no food in the village, and it seems that after the angel was chopped up by himself, another angel came and took the food away after killing the people of the village.
Old Joey reluctantly leaned against the pig-headed statue in the center of the village and sat on the ground.
"I'm tired."
He said to himself, and then, looking at the sun in the sky, he didn't know what he was thinking.
After I don't know how long, he seemed to feel a little stinging in his eyes, so old Joey lowered his head.
Suddenly, beside him, he noticed a very special corpse.
He didn't recognize the body because she had a human face.
And it is precisely because of this that Old Joy knows who this person is, and there is a deep knife cut in her heart, with some deep scratches on the edges, and it seems that she struggled before she died.
The entire village, everyone's wounds were extremely smooth, and even when their throats were cut, they didn't resist at all.
Except for her.
"Is she the girl named Mia?" Old Joey asked lightly.
Pego leaned over and sniffed next to the corpse, then ...... "Hmph~Hmph~" He nodded.
Old Joy didn't say anything more, just lowered his head.
He didn't know Mia very well, but after all, it was this girl who was the first person he saw in this world, and it was she who brought him to this village.
Afterwards...... There is no after.
The ordinary life almost made old Joey forget about the girl.
And the last memory is that the girl rushed out of the crowd and stood in front of her, and at that time, the villagers were throwing themselves with stones to get out of the village.
......
That's all the intersection between myself and Mia.
But just when old Joey decided to kick the girl out of his memory completely......
He felt an inexplicable sour nose, and he seemed to see Mia smiling, clinging to Pego's side, touching Pego's head...... "This little pig is so cute. ”
This is what Mia had to say about Pego.
Old Joey was suddenly stunned.
It was only then that he finally realized...... I could tell that Mia was laughing, the kind of smile that had no heart and lungs, and was called a 'giggle'.
......
Old Joey seemed to understand something.
A long, long time ago, he once asked Ziliang what a friend was.
Ziliang's answer was, when, if you can tell whether a person's expression is crying or laughing, then that person should be considered a friend.
Although Pego told himself afterwards that Ziliang was just too lazy to explain to you, and at the same time, he was simply mocking your face blindness.
But old Joey knew that Ziliang was right, because by now, all the people he could recognize his face were already his friends.
Old Joey lowered his head and looked at Mia's corpse.
"Pego...... You say, "Where did those angels come from?" ”
"Hmph~Hmph~" Pego shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Well, who knows?" Old Joy asked again.
"Hmph~Hmph~ The angel will definitely know."
Old Joey nodded, yes, where did the angels come from, then the angels must know! Sure enough, Pego is much smarter than himself.
"So, how can I meet an angel? I want to ask him. ”
Pego imagined and said, "Unless there is something here that can be noticed by angels from far, far away, then they should always come and see what is going on." ”
"Can you see it from far, far away?" Old Joy thought, "So, it's smoke?" Tornado? Or lightning? But I can't get any of these things out......"
He thought depressedly, and then subconsciously looked at the sky again.
Squinting his eyes, his gaze scanned through the glare of sunlight and landed on the rock-covered dome, where thousands of giant crawles called 'the sun' roosted on it.
"Light ...... There is light everywhere, and if there is no light anywhere, it can be noticed. ”
He thought.
Then, standing up, bending his knees slightly.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang.
The whole opposite side collapsed as if it had been hit by a meteorite, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the earth cracked.
And a phantom, as if the heaven and the earth were reversed, fell from the bottom up to the dazzling sky.
Old Joey's hand holding the hilt of the knife was buzzing.
"Don't ...... Alone"
