It's getting dark, it's even more dangerous outside, and I don't know if they're still alive, and I don't know if I'll be alive this time.

We were silent because the sound would draw attention, and the night was the time of the demons, and they were much worse than the robbers.

I took her to the place where we had met, her goggles shining faintly, and I leaned over to look at the footprints, and she saw it, and whispered to herself, "Really, they passed through here." ”

I noticed a silver hair hanging down her forehead, which had fallen from her helmet, and asked, "Are you very old?" ”

She said, "So what? ”

I said, "I don't look like I have a hand, and I don't like a sound." ”

She said, "Find them, then find a place to hide, and you'll be in trouble if you encounter a demon." ”

I said, "Needless to say, I know hell better than you do." ”

"Hell," she asked. ”

I said, "Skyscrapers are heaven, and everything else is hell." ”

She said, "Sort of, but don't get too hopeful." ”

I thought she was going to repent, saying, "You promised." ”

"But you also promised that you would let me see them, alive," Lamia said. ”

I knew it was useless to argue, but to obey her as much as I could. I said, "Go this way, I see them going this way." ”

We walked a few kilometres ahead, and my luck was high that I always found footprints at the crucial moments. Even in sad times, unlucky people like me get lucky once in a while. Lamia suddenly stopped, and I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"You don't have night vision goggles," she said. ”

I nodded helplessly.

She said, "Why do you see better than I do?" ”

I said, "I live underground where I don't see the light of day, so..."

She asked, "Mutation?" ”

That's right.

At this time, we all heard footsteps, so we hid behind the trees, holding our breath, it was the monsters, or demons.

The moonlight shone on the demon in the clear night sky, it was a short man, about 1.9 meters, with silver-white skin and a strong and fat body, through the skin, you could see its blood vessels and internal organs. It had a hairless body like a bear, a face like a lion, and horns like a cow on its head, but it walked upright like a human.

It was fifty meters away, and the wind blew through the square, and it could not hear us.

Lamia whispered, "There are no companions around for it." ”

I asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Lamia said, "Sure." "She had a watch on her wrist, and the screen on it showed the only dot, which was the albino demon in front of her.

My eyes were drawn to her watch and I asked, "Can you detect demons?" Is this something in a skyscraper? ”

"Yes, but only to detect demons, and it's still in the testing phase," Lamia said. ”

It is truly a creation of heaven, a masterpiece beyond imagination.

She took out the pistol, fiddled with it twice, and fired a shot that I never thought could be so quiet, and the bullet pierced the demon's head, and the demon fell hard.

There is an old saying that people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away. My broken gun, even if it is attached to the demon's brain, may not be able to solve the demon with one shot, let alone one shot, two or three shots are enough.

I was more envious and yearning, and I also decided that Lamia's status in the skyscraper was not low. Ranger, Ranger, can I be a Ranger when I enter the skyscraper? I'm familiar with the wilderness, and I'm very hard-working, so I'll be a good match for her.

I decided to adjust my aim to be slightly higher, and once I got into the skyscraper, I had to climb up as quickly as I could, at least to get Lamia's appreciation first.

Lamia walked up to the demon, cut off both of the demon's horns with a dagger, and skillfully took out the bag, saying, "I had to cut some meat, but unfortunately I couldn't take care of it." ”

I asked, "The devil's horn is the hardest part of the body, and your knife is so sharp?" ”

She said, "yes, so your throat is hard enough." ”

Even I didn't expect the hardening potion to work so well, but when I think about it, I really haven't been cut before.

Lamia looked at her watch and said, "Get out of here, more demons are approaching." ”

We started to sprint, running behind a flowerbed with crazy plants, and here, the ground was marble, and I searched for a long time, but I didn't see any footprints for a while. It was an abandoned office park with a sign on the door that said Skyford Ltd., and Lamia said, "Skyford? ”

I asked, "This place has been abandoned for a hundred years, and whatever it used to be, it is now dilapidated." ”

She clicked a few times on the screen of her watch and said, "Before the end of the world, Skeford used to be a big arms dealer. ”

In that case, I could have changed to a better weapon.

She shook her head when she heard this, and said, "This is the office area, don't expect too much." ”

I don't really want anything more, just go into the skyscraper and I'll have everything.

Lamia covered her belly, she seemed hungry, and she said, "Just wait here until dawn, and continue to look for them tomorrow." ”

Dawn is not far away, and I have already seen the dawn of the future. It was not just a ray of dawn, but an opportunity for a turning point in my life.

But in order to please Lamia, I had to be more attentive. I walked ahead, pushed open the half-hidden door, pointed my gun left and right, made sure it was safe, and motioned for her to follow. Lamia nodded to me, and my hope increased.

When we got upstairs, tables and chairs cut the large room into square areas, and small trees grew here and there. I emptied a square, picked up a pile of firewood, and made a fire. The square area perfectly blocks the light from the fire, and it is not easy to see us from the outside.

I took out two pieces of dingo meat and said, "Lamia, give you both." ”

Lamia said, "Don't you eat it yourself?" ”

I said, "My stomach is hungry." ”

Lamia smiled and said, "No, I'm not used to eating outside." ”

It dawned on me that in the skyscrapers, they must have eaten clean and delicious food, all the delicacies I had read about in the magazines of old, the fat and hot oil, the bright red and crispy beef, the fine mutton, and the sweet fruits, a hundred times sweeter than the figs I had picked.

She pulled out a roll of food wrapped in tin foil from her bag, which I recognized, and the book said it was a sandwich. She took off her helmet and goggles, and her face was completely revealed, she looked very young, not more than eighteen, but she had silver hair, like a waterfall, her eyes were bright, large and clear, and her features were delicate and delicate, and she was not like the poor men and robbers I was accustomed to, and her skin was as smooth as those models in magazines.

I think that people in heaven should be like her, maybe everyone should be like her, no, there must be no exceptions.

She ate the sandwich in two bites, and I didn't even have a chance to beg her for food.

She must have had it in her bag, and there were many, delicious sandwich rolls from skyscrapers.

I think she's in a good mood and can ask her about the skyscraper, because it's about my future.

I asked, "What does a Ranger do?" ”

"Actually, it's a lot like you scavengers, we have some power, we have the best equipment, and we are well paid, but if we don't meet the quota, we will be driven away," Lamia said. ”

I asked, "What?" Is it still possible to be driven away? ”

Lamia said, "No, it can't be, I've never been, I'm the best. ”

I'm happy because the better she is, the more she can take care of me and promote me.

I said, "We scavengers also have that kind of quota, like every time I go out, we either pick up food, or some supplies, medicines, or whatever." If you don't pick it up enough, you won't have enough to eat when you go back. ”

Lamia said, "Where is your 'waterless village'?" Is it underground? ”

I replied, "Of course, how can anyone live on the ground now?" But I immediately added, "Unless it's heaven or a robber." ”

Lamia laughed, "Maybe it's about the same." You defected from Waterless Village? ”

I said, "There is no hope in that place, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places." All I think about is heaven now. ”

"You're amazing, you hurt me with that punch, and I haven't been hurt by a human in a long time," Lamia said. ”

I was suddenly so upset that I couldn't go - how could I injure the messenger of heaven who had saved me from the sea of suffering? But who can not know the prophet?

I said, "Don't take it personally, men make mistakes, women make mistakes..."

Lamia said: "Have you ever thought that if you leave, Waterless Village will lose a good hunter, a person to rely on. Is it likely that they will perish as a result? ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "The waterless village has been destroyed. ”

She said, "What's going on? ”

I said, "I was the only survivor of a demon who destroyed the village, and to this day I still have a premonition that the demon is following me." My only way out is a paradise that even demons can't enter. ”

There was sadness in Lamia's expression, and she sighed, "There are too many such things now. What kind of demon is that? ”

I was silent for a moment and said, "That's a fish." ”

Actually, I don't want to say, but Lamia asked, I can't help but answer, I have asked her, so I am inferior.

Lamia asked, "Fish?" How... Fish? I've never seen a demon like a fish. ”

I gestured with my hands and said, "There is a fish tank in the waterless village, about the size of four baths, and they used to worship the fish tank and the fish in the fish tank. They would rather not drink water themselves and make sure the water in the tank is fresh, but then they stopped believing it. ”

Lamia said: "The fish in this tank don't seem to be very big, how can they destroy the village?" ”

I said, "Don't you understand? Because the fish... The fish is a demon, a supernatural evil force. Not only will it destroy the village, but everyone who stands in its way will be killed by it. ”

Lamia seemed interested, and she said, "A little more information, how did it kill people?" ”

I said, "I can't say any more, the fish can sense that I'm talking about it, and the more I talk, the easier it will be for it to find me." The fish does not allow anyone to escape its pursuit. "My voice was trembling, but I couldn't stop.

Lamia said, "How do you know it's looking for you?" ”

I said, "I can feel it when it gets closer, it's like... It's like drowning, and it's painful. I really can't go on any longer, friend, I really have to keep my mouth shut. ”

Lamia tilted her head, her eyes twinkling like stars, and said, "Devil like a fish, well... Interesting, the Archons may be concerned. ”

I let out a confused "hmm" as Lamia explained, "A big part of our Ranger job is to collect samples of the various demons in the world, and if we can catch them, that's the best. ”
