The little girl in front of me is just like me, holding a huge scythe twice as tall as herself!
She kept repeating the phrase clearly and clearly: "Kill ~ clear ~ "
"Who are you!? Wrong... You... Why do you look the same as me? I asked, approaching her.
However, like a marionette, she completely ignored my questions, and kept repeating the lines in her mouth.
When I walked less than two meters away from her, I was surprised to find dozens of petite figures behind her, dressed and looking exactly the same, as if carved out of a mold!!
"Kill ~ Clear ~ "
The girls jumped up and running towards me, gradually enveloping me and dancing around me.
"You... What are you going to do!! "I'm a little scared, even though they are just a group of little girls the same size as me, they are dressed and look exactly the same, and they all have the same faces as me, which is the most worrying part!
As I thought about it, the girls' encirclement became tighter and tighter, and the girls at the head of the line had already touched my body.
It's cold!
I felt the touch with their skin, but what could be transmitted was a piercing coldness.
The chill made me shiver.
"Please, please don't do this!" I stopped, swinging my scythe in my hand to chase them away.
However, it was so close that I couldn't use my fists at all.
"Ruixin !!" Suddenly, a man's voice came from afar, and I couldn't tell exactly where it was going, but it was clearly visible.
"Kill! Purge! ”
In an instant, the brisk words in the girls' mouths turned into sonorous tones with murderous aura, and the scythe clenched in their hands pointed to the sky at the same time.
At this moment, they formed an encirclement with their backs to me, and held me firmly in the center of the circle, like loyal guards sworn to protect their king!
In the next second, everyone's eyes turned to a figure in front of them that gradually became clearer.
Is that...?
Uncle Luo!?
It was a speeding figure, dressed in a tight uniform and wearing a large peaked cap.
The girls who surrounded me gradually approached him, swinging their scythes in their hands to engage him.
I couldn't make out the man's face, but this one was exactly the same as Uncle Luo today, and he knew my name too!
He wields a dagger, but he can confront girls wielding huge scythes without falling behind.
In the blink of an eye, several girls had fallen to the ground.
"Kill! Purge! ”
The last few girls waiting by my side joined the battle one after another.
However, even with their large numbers, it was difficult to resist the man's powerful and unsparing attack.
I gradually walked towards the battlefield over there, although there was a fierce battle going on there, but I didn't feel any panic in my heart at all, and the speed under my feet was even faster and faster, as if there was a force pulling me to get to the man's side quickly.
However, the distance between me and the man became farther and farther away, and no matter how much I quickened my pace, the battlefield and the man's figure became smaller and smaller and blurred in my vision...
"Wait for me! Wait for me!!!!! I couldn't help but shout, but the voice was swallowed up by the endless darkness around me, and no one responded to me.
The surroundings returned to nothingness, and nothing else could be felt except for the cold ground beneath their feet.
"Ruixin? Ruixin!? Another man's call, but this time it was in my ears, so close to me.
Suddenly, I opened my eyes and felt a pair of large hands firmly holding me in my chest, and the familiar feeling of warmth was constantly coming to me.
"Luo... Uncle Luo? ”
"Well, it's me."
I breathed a sigh of relief and a slight tired smile on my face as the reassuring voice came again.
When he saw that I had regained my senses, he placed me in a chair.
Feeling that the warmth was about to separate from me, I felt a little reluctant, afraid that after separation, we would never be able to meet again.
I reached out and grabbed Uncle Luo's shoulder again, looking at him with both eyes.
This is the first time I have made eye contact with Uncle Luo.
It was a pair of crimson pupils, and although they were full of murderous energy, my body did not tremble because of it.
He blinked and picked me up again.
Only then did I realize that there was not a trace of smoke on him today.
"Uncle Luo..."
"Huh?"
"What the hell are you... Who is it? ”
……
In the chaotic and dark laboratory, Uncle Luo sat on the tattered bench, and Elius waited silently, his eyes fixed on the man in front of him.
After a long silence, he pulled the cigarette case out of his pocket, but after a pause, he put it back.
"Who am I? Scold... yes, who am I? He smiled, the expression on his face a little incomprehensible.
"Let me continue answering Elius's previous question." He continued lightly.
"It's not so much that I want to use Ruixin to escape from this concentration camp, but that I want to get the answers I always want to know from this little girl!"
"Answer?"
"Hmm." He nodded, "From the first time I opened my eyes in this concentration camp, my memory has almost completely disappeared, and I only remember my own name, and an obsession that has always haunted my heart. ”
"That's to find this little girl and get out of here with her."
"I don't know who I am, I don't know why I did it, and I don't know who made me do it, but there's always a feeling that keeps telling me, 'If you find this little girl, you can solve all the puzzles!'"
"During these hundreds of years, I have never given up my exploration, using the special abilities that this concentration camp has given me to pass on the few memories I have left. I set up [Base Coral] and adopted many children for my use, so that one day I could get these questions answered. ”
"Finally... Some time ago, I met this little girl. It was in that little alley that I didn't know what she was looking like at a glance, and that was before Hawke reported her personal information to me. ”
"Maybe that's the fate between the two, right?" He smiled and reached out and patted me on the head.
"It's... Is that the real idea behind the countless lies you weave in front of everyone? Arius shuddered slightly.
"Then Ruixin, it's time for you to reveal the answer for us."
"Ahh Even I don't know where I'm from. ”
At this moment, my mind could not help but return to what I saw when I first opened my eyes in the concentration camp, and the deep and dark blue sky came to my mind again, and a feeling of depression came over me.
