"How does it feel?" Lilith spoke softly, reaching out to ruffle my loose hair.

"Awful!"

"Hahaha!" Hawke laughed, "Your reaction is much more intense than the first time I ate fish balls!" ”

"What do you mean?" His reaction annoyed me a little.

"Hawke, you go out first." Lilith nudged Hawk.

"Why?"

"I'm going to change Ruixin's clothes."

"Oh." Hawke scratched his head, his big eyes looking at me carefully, "Well, let's change." ”

"That's why I'm telling you to get out!" She grabbed Hawke by the collar and dragged him out alive.

……

Behind closed doors, my sister began rummaging through the closet for clothes.

"What did Hawke mean just now?" I asked, sitting on my bed.

"Alas~ an adolescent boy, he often peeks at me and Ariel taking a shower." She replied with a smile.

"No... I was trying to ask, why did he just laugh at me? ”

My sister was stunned for a moment: "Oh... You're asking that, hahaha~ I'm sorry! ”

Me: "??? ”

"After eating the fish balls, I was able to see part of the memory of the deceased." She explained simply.

"The dead?"

"Yes, the fish ball you ate is the man you killed last night."

“？？？”

"When the man died, he became... Fish balls? A fish ball? I frowned, unable to believe my ears.

"Hmm. Still, it's better not to know why—" she replied, touching my head.

Hearing this, the stomach pouch that had not eaten anything began to roll, and the vomiting sensation had reached the throat.

"In other words, I'm eating people!? Just now, I ate a middle-aged man with a stubble on his face into his stomach?? I covered my mouth and tried to suppress the vomit that had accumulated in my throat.

After all, those are all medicinal soups that my sister made for me, and I can't just spit them out.

"People here have to eat one fish ball a day!" She looked at me with a serious look in her eyes, not like she was joking.

"That's... What if you don't eat it? ”

"You're going to die!"

……

I sat slumped on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, my mind chaotic.

Ever since I first opened my eyes, I was in a state of endless panic and non-stop running!

To be honest, in the past few days, I haven't had any time to think about why I ended up in this strange place, let alone understand why most of the people here use some kind of 'superpower'.

However, being in this safe environment now gives me free time to think about these inexplicable questions...

My head started to swell, and there were so many unexplained questions that I didn't even know which one to start asking!

"Little fool, come, change your clothes first."

My sister patted my face gently, and my thoughts quickly returned to reality.

She rummaged through the closet to find new clothes, the waistcoat and skirt worn by the little girl.

"Wow, it just happens to be my favorite pink~" I smiled and took them.

"Why are there little girls' clothes here? Are there other girls my age?? "I was pleasantly surprised and expectant.

"Nope. It's just that these clothes have been here since the beginning. My sister replied lightly.

"Huh? Isn't this your home? ”

"No, to be exact, this is Uncle Luo's home, and we are all children he picked up. These clothes... Maybe it used to be—" At this, she lowered her head, her eyes darkening.

"It's... I hurriedly interrupted, apparently thinking of something unpleasant.

(However, who is this Uncle Luo?) As he thought about it, the tall and mighty figure of the man resurfaced in his mind.

However, when I changed my pants, I realized that I was already wet underneath, and the bedding around me was also soaked...

"Wait, I wasn't going to be...!?" I reacted and instantly understood why Hawke was laughing at me.

"I wouldn't... Won't pee... Wet the bed, right!? My little face was hot and hot, and I fell on the bed with my face covered.

"It's nothing, most people who eat fish balls for the first time are like this, after all, they will be seriously affected on the mental level~" My sister smiled and helped me up and dressed me.

"Big... Does everyone wet the bed? ”

She was stunned for a moment: "Don't worry about this..."

"Hmm~~~~" I covered my face with my clothes, and my shame exploded.

……

After changing her clothes, my sister opened the door.

"Hawke, come in, I still have some things to deal with later, so I'll ask you to take care of Ruixin."

As soon as the door opened, Hawke jumped in, and he also changed into a new outfit.

"Are you going to work?" He looked up and asked Sister Lilith.

"No, I'm going to find Uncle Luo."

"Hey, did he tell you where he is? It's not easy to find him! Hawke shrugged.

"Hmm." My sister nodded, "I probably won't be back tonight, so you and Ariel will take care of dinner." ”

"Okay, good~ Be careful when you go out, don't become fish balls!" He replied, a wicked smile on his face.

"Stinky little ghost, take good care of Ruixin for me!"

"Roger!" Hawke straightened up and beckoned at her.

……

In the evening, in the [Undercurrent Street] market.

Led by Hawke, we walked in the middle of the street, lined with small shops of all kinds.

The bosses themselves shouted to attract customers, and some hung billboards and small lanterns to attract attention.

"Is this a snack street?" I looked around excitedly, but he was clutching my hand.

"Although it also sells snacks, it is definitely not the kind of wonderful place you imagined in your heart!" He looked serious, scanning his surroundings from time to time.

"There were five different areas in the camp, and [Undercurrent Street] was the meeting point and the only place outside of [the arena] where prisoners from different areas could interact freely. However, it's not as peaceful as you might think, as it's a mixed bag, and there are a lot of predators known as 'White Sharks' who specialize in hunting newcomers like you who don't know the rules of the game! Just like last night! ”

"You take a closer look around." He whispered.

I looked around and was still surrounded by the shops, the bustling pedestrians, the shouting bosses, and the ladies dressed up in fancy clothes.

"I see! The beautiful big sisters at the door of those bars are indeed very attractive, you are afraid that you will not be able to resist their temptation, right? ”

"No! Did Miss Lilith tell you something strange again!? He panicked.

"Look over there." He quickly calmed down and glanced at the small dark alley beside him.

There sat several people in the regiment, wearing hoods and holding short daggers in their hands.

I couldn't make out the faces of the men, but I could feel their eyes focused on us.

Not only that, but among the pedestrians around, many eyes are around us, moving along with our progress!

If Hawke hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been completely aware of that.

A sense of anxiety hit my heart, and I couldn't help but speed up my pace.

"Don't panic, behave like you always do!" He whispered a reminder to me, clenching my hand.

"Hmm!"

I became cautious even to breathe, and I nervously walked forward under his guidance.

The once bustling street market began to become silent.

Because I don't dare to pay attention to those boring places anymore, the desire to survive in my heart is constantly telling me that I must keep my brain vigilant and not let last night's tragedy happen to me again!

"You haven't told me what you're here for?" I asked, my tone trembling slightly, and I began to regret coming with him.

"Find someone!"

"Find... Who are you looking for? ”

"Find Ariel, find her home and cook."

"Uh... Ha!? ”
