Chapter 3: Redemption and Missing
This world, which has not seen a sunny day since the day the boy came, may be affected by the power of the 'wilderness', and even the best case is only cloudy and overcast, and the beauty of the wind and the sun cannot be appreciated.
"Hey, are you all right?", a young girl, standing in front of the somewhat old wooden door, looked at the young man who was struggling to get up from the bed, and asked with some concern.
"Well...... Now I am basically able to move freely, but it is still not as flexible as before, and it seems that it will take some time before I can fully recover. The boy moved his hands and feet a little and made a judgment.
Perhaps because he was pulled back from the near death line, his body suffered a considerable amount of damage, and he was not even able to walk alone for a while. Chen estimated that it might be that after being hit by the scarlet bullet of the scarlet god, there was still a different power left in the body, and the guide was extremely inconvenient. But as time passed, his body began to recover gradually, and it is estimated that he will be fully recovered in two more days.
"Actually, this kind of recovery is quite amazing! I remember that after I woke up, I had to rest for a long time before I could regain control of my body. Xiaolu looked at Chen, who was still a little struggling, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Xiaolu, when did you come to this world, and it looks like there are a lot of people here already, right?", Tatsumi tried to move around again, regaining his mastery of the body, and then asked the girl a question.
"Well...... I remember that I was the last group to come to this world, about half a year ago, and I remember that I could still see the clear sky...... As a result, it has been cloudy now, and it seems that the strength of the big snake is getting stronger and stronger?", the girl said with some confusion.
"Is that so...... By the way, I want to go out and walk around, Xiaolu, do you have something to do? If there are other tasks, I won't bother. Chen, looking at the girl in front of him, asked uncertainly. Because of his mobility difficulties in the past few days, the food and clothes were brought by the girl for him, so he was a little embarrassed to trouble the girl.
"Well...... I'm fine...... However, Chen, you are about to see the true face of this world, although I have already said it, but you still have to be prepared?", the smile on the girl's face also decreased a little, and said with some sadness and some weakness.
"Let's go...... It's not an option to stay here all the time. Chen reluctantly replied, then stretched out his hand, took a breath and pushed it away!
Outside the door, I saw three or five houses, according to the architectural style is probably the model of the ancient Han Dynasty, the houses are intact, and all kinds of utensils are neatly placed one by one. Tatsumi made a rough estimate and determined that this was a small village, a village hidden in the mountains and forests.
But the most unusual thing here, and one that makes people gasp, is the villagers who act in the village.
Chen was very strange at first, although he knew that he had come to this world, but until now, except for hearing Xiaolu's voice, there is no sound, even if it is Yichen's sense of hearing, he can't distinguish any human voice outside the house.
But now, Chen has understood, looking at the group of villagers in front of him, he can't help but sigh.
The villagers in front of him, although they were still normal activities, were glazed over, their eyes were blank, they were just functioning mechanically, and the muscles on their faces were also stiff, and they couldn't see what kind of expression they had.
Not only adults are like this, but even the children on the side are sitting there stunned, their faces are lifeless and energetic, like clay sculptures, and they can't see the smile and innocence that this age should have.
Tatsumi and several of them glanced at each other, but they could only see the hollow and godless eyes and the little black light contained in them.
The whole village was silent, and the pedestrians on the road were walking around in a dull way, and the whole village seemed to be drained of its soul, and it was lifeless. A strange feeling of dead silence swept through the village, and Chen, who was standing in front of the wooden house, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"This ...... Is it the situation caused by the power of 'desolation'?", although Tatsu had already learned about this situation from the girl, he still felt a lot of emotion when he saw it with his own eyes.
"Yes...... Because they're just ordinary people...... Therefore, those who can't resist the erosion of 'desolation' and eventually lose their sense of self, or even more strictly, will directly alienate ......", the girl looked at the villagers with indifferent expressions and couldn't help but say.
β...... Is their situation irreparable?", although Chen is not a good person, but seeing such a soberness, he is also a little unbearable. After all, it is also a sadness to live in the world like this, unable to know and control what to do.
"It's irreparable, the lord of my family, Lord Liu Yuanjun, also wanted to save them...... It's a pity that no matter what method is used, it can't make them wake up, and the only way is that everyone is unwilling to do and it's not worth doing. The girl walked up to a child, looked at his immature face but there was no expression, and couldn't help sighing.
"What way?", Chen vaguely felt that the consequences and costs of this method should be very large, otherwise they would not have given up.
"That is to use the power of the 'stars' to save them...... But...... As a result, they can only stay awake for less than half a day, and they will die ......", the girl couldn't bear to look at the child in front of her, and a sad look appeared on her face.
Tatsumi was silent, because he also learned the reason for this from the girl. The power of the star and the desolate are opposites, and it is difficult for the two to coexist, and the fierce conflict between the two is enough for ordinary people to explode directly.
"And this kind of practice will also consume a lot of strength...... If we don't pay attention, we will also be in danger, so in the end, everyone gave up on this approach, because with our current strength, we can't do anything. The girl closed her eyes and lamented.
"The power of the 'star' is not only to give us the ability to fight, but also to protect us from being eroded by the 'desolation', so if it is not a special situation, it is better not to release all the power, it is really too dangerous. The girl reminded her of this matter with some stern sΓΉ, and Chen also nodded silently to indicate that she remembered.
"Hey......", the girl looked at the young child in front of her, this child who seemed to be only six or seven years old, should have been in the happiest thing in his life, but now it was really muddy, and he couldn't even control himself.
"The world...... It's really bad......", Tatsumi couldn't help but sigh as he glanced at the empty, dead-like village.
............
night
Although Tatsuna's body has not recovered, he is now basically able to move around freely without bothering others, he got up from the bed, looked at the dim moonlight faintly shining through the wooden plank, and couldn't help but sigh.
And next door, there was a coughing sound, and you didn't need to guess Chen to know that it was Xiaolu's voice, because only the two of them in this village could make a sound.
Then there was the sound of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of the door creaking open, and it seemed that there was something going out.
Chen was a little curious, but Xiaolu ran out so late, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he also opened the door and followed.
Although the body has not recovered, the strength of her feet is still better than that of ordinary people, and she has vaguely manipulated the airflow to increase her degree, and she has not been pulled down. After Chen came to this world, he also began to try his abilities from time to time.,Although this world is very weird.,But Chen's power has not been suppressed.,The two abilities that were mastered in Scarlet Bullet before are still intact and can be used.γ
"What is Xiaolu going to do?", Chen couldn't help but think that he was rescued by the girl and told her about the world, and he was still a little grateful to her, so he was also a little concerned about her situation.
"Chen is also following?", the girl finally showed Chen's trace, looked at him and said, although the two were far apart, they could easily see each other with their eyes, and they could also hear the words torn in the air by the wind.
"Well...... I couldn't sleep, so I sat there all the time, and then I heard you go out and came to take a look. Chen didn't hide his intentions, and said very bluntly.
"That's right...... So, does Tatsumi have the power of the 'star'? can you control the wind like I do!" The girl looked at him with a puzzled look.
"It's not ...... It's just that I had the ability before, and I can still use it now. Tatsumi said as he looked at her.
"That's right...... And a little envious...... I used to be just an ordinary person, but I was lucky enough to be chosen to come to this place. But I still haven't been able to do anything, even as a left-behind general, I won't succeed. The girl said as if reproaching herself.
"Xiaolu ......", Chen looked at the girl with a bad face, and wanted to comfort something, but was interrupted.
"Don't mention that...... It's all in the past, and you should forget about it......," the girl smiled a little reluctantly, but she couldn't hide the bitterness in her heart.
The two were silent for a long time, and the girl looked at the stunned Chen and asked, "Are you missing your relatives and friends?"
"Well...... Sort of...... But it's not a relative...... After all, I hadn't seen them for over a decade. Tatsu sighed.
"Well...... That's a lover, isn't it?Looking at Tatsuna's appearance is really similar to my former eldest sister......," the girl quipped.
β...... Not...... Why was it guessed......", what Chen Gang wanted to say was indeed interrupted, so he had to take it back.
"Because that's the expression of thinking about your lover, it's too obvious!", the girl laughed.
"Is it ......", Tatsumi looked at the dim moon, and Riko's face couldn't help but appear in his heart.
"Are you okay...... Riko ......", Tatsumi muttered to himself in an undetectable voice.
(PS: Because it's just the beginning...... So it's a bit bland, right...... οΌ
