Cathari is a resident of Fuso City.

He had been in this grand and desolate city for three years.

From his normal life to this infernal hell overnight, he relied on luck and struggle to survive a brutal period of time, becoming the last survivor of the original outcasts.

Whether it was the last or not, he himself didn't know.

But he likes to call himself like this, because he can affirm himself by claiming to be so self-affirming, and affirming his own value by comparing it to bad in this world of careless human life.

As for who the other displaced people were in the same period, or even who were still alive, he couldn't remember clearly.

He lives in a mess in Fusang City, and he just wants to live like this, he has no attachment to becoming stronger, even if he understands that if he is not strong in this world, he may not even know how he will die in the future.

But he was sure that if he went to explore the three boundaries around him and seek a way to survive, he would surely die a miserable death.

Just a few experiences in the Honkai Boundary Zone made him tremble.

The burning sensation of being eroded by the energy called "Honkai" was still vivid, and he felt that he was worse than dead during that time.

In the future, even if you give up exploring the boundary, you will often be shrouded in that shadow in your sleep.

Physically and mentally exhausted, it may be better for him to continue to live like this than to die altogether.

But the cowardly cannot take his own life,

He always had a worn pistol in his arms, one of which was intended to be issued to himself.

Cathari waited for that day, for a change in his life when he would be able to make up his mind to pull the trigger on himself.

Recently, there has been a lot of anomaly in Fuso Castle.

It is mainly reflected in the activities of those cultists.

Whether it is in the past or the present life, even if those cultists have the same powerful power as the film and television works of the previous life, Cathar still does not take these people who pin their faith on the "gods" seriously.

But his opinion doesn't matter, and in any case, these cultists with bad intentions for the world are quite dangerous.

There were also some strange people who came to Fuso.

These people don't seem to have any malicious intent, but are just doing a basic investigation and understanding of the city.

It reminded Carteri of when he first came here.

Seeing the traces of civilization was undoubtedly touching for the people who had wandered into the other world, but in reality he could only ask why he had not starved to death in the wasteland outside in the first place.

Anyway, Cuthar tried to make contact with the newcomers.

It was learned that their temporary stronghold was in an abandoned church not far from his residence.

It was originally a missionary point of the Baicang religion, but it has been forcibly abolished, which is a pity.

Ask them what they're looking for here, and they'll give some fluttery answers.

Lost pets, lost selves, fun to play......

There were any answers, and those bright smiling faces made Carterie wonder if he was in the same world as them.

They probably came from the world outside of the rumored Sunken Sky Islands.

Even if those places had their own filth, they certainly wouldn't be worse than the Sunken Sky Islands.

After talking to them, Cuthar ended the conversation at the right time, so as not to arouse unnecessary vigilance.

Afterwards......

What happened after that?

Cathar's will to think was a little sluggish.

He seemed to be asleep from exertion.

Surprisingly, he thought that his weak body and mind had not yet reached the point where he passed out without realizing it.

Well, Cathar must have fallen asleep.

So who is this thinking consciousness now?

“……”

Am I dreaming?

When the idea pops up, it seems to trigger a keyword.

The scarlet light lit up in front of him, illuminating the table in front of him and the "girl" sitting in a chair behind the table.

The girl, who didn't look very old, had unusually thick long black hair, and looked at the paper documents in her hand with a blank face.

What is she doing?

Cathar thought, wanting to get closer and take a look.

As a result, the girl said before he could take a step: "You are going through the interview right now, and I don't think any interviewer will rush into front of the interviewer." ”

Cutteri was stunned, a little puzzled: "Interview? I didn't attend any interviews, did I? ”

"No, you participated, it was our unilateral invitation." The girl said as she put the papers in her hand on the table.

Cathar's eyes swept over the file without a trace, only a glimpse, but he saw his own picture on the file, and although the other words were not clear, he immediately judged from the familiar arrangement that this should be his own information.

He was a little uneasy.

Why did his information appear in this strange place, and what was the interview that the girl in front of him was talking about?

"Don't be so afraid, you gave us this information."

"I don't remember ever handing out my resume to any force." Cathar thinks this thing is his resume.

He didn't know if there was such a decent process in the outside world, but Fusang City definitely didn't.

"Your dreams gave us to be exact, but it doesn't matter." The girl's white finger lightly tapped the picture of Cuthari on the file and said, "I heard that you left yourself a bullet that is convenient for suicide, is this true?" ”

"Yes." Cathari replied calmly.

"Can you kill yourself now?"

"Why?" Cutley asked quirkily.

"Aren't you waiting for an opportunity? I think we can be the catalyst for you to kill yourself. The girl said with a cute smile.

Cartery was a little irritated, "What the hell is going on," said Cartery, "But I don't think so, miss, if this is a wicked joke you have played on me, I want to say I don't like it, and will you make me leave?" ”

"Oh, do you think I'm joking?" The girl tilted her head and said, "Then to change the topic, it was your gang that asked you to investigate our group, right?" ”

Hearing this, Cathari showed a puzzled look: "Gang? Why are gangs mentioned? I didn't join them. ”

"Yes, although it is not written on your information, it may be because you subconsciously deliberately conceal it, so you can't dig out more information about this deep dream, but what you have done will always leave traces."

The girl picked up the information on the table again: "You like to have some self-denial inner debates, but in a way, you are also used to using this method to persuade yourself. You're a talent. ”

Cathar didn't speak.

"You didn't join the gang, so can you explain where you got that extra wine and bread every seven days, the gang is really generous, and will give you a steady distribution of supplies, it would be better if you could get some chips. They don't seem to want your lower eyeliner to be too powerful, though. The girl talked eloquently, leaving Cathar on her back.

"Huh? Are you trying to hide it so that you don't attract attention, why are you still being discovered? ”

Before Cathar could speak, the girl seemed to know what he was thinking in advance: "It's still your dream that tells me, you know, Cathar, people are very fragile in their sleep, because dreams will expose the hidden true side of people." ”

"I'm not trying to criticize you for anything, I still have a good opinion of you. After all, it's just an interview, isn't it? Even if you fail, you're just going back to where you need to be. ”

"So, if I give you an opportunity here, do you want to kill yourself without hesitation, or do you desperately struggle to get back your wine and bread?"

Cathari said in a deep voice, "I am not obligated to face the choice you have given me. ”

"You know that very well, don't you?" The girl looked up, obviously not tall and still sitting in the chair, but Cutri had a sense of frustration at being looked down: "You know that the world is the jungle, you think that you are like the walking dead ready to give yourself a shot at any time, you originally relied on nothing but yourself and the last bullet, but now you seem to have changed a little." ”

"Wine and bread seem to give you some confidence and expectation in the 'strong' who never set their sights on you?"

The girl laughed: "It's not a shame to find a reason to live, at the cost of you becoming a little weak." I'm not denying you, but to me you are the real walking dead. ”

"Enough!" Cathari shouted.

The girl shut up at the right time and looked at him quietly.

"Then let me ask the last question of this interview, Cathar, do you dare to kill yourself here? It's just a dream. ”

Cuthar gasped, sweat running from his hairline to his chin.

At some point, he seemed to be holding something in his hand.

Whew......

Click......

Bang!

Cathar's eyes darkened.

"It's not bad, you're qualified, welcome to the carnival, hehe." The girl's gentle voice resounded in her ears, and Cathar felt a long-lost peace in the afterglow of the sharp pain before "death".
