Layla and Luisa stand opposite each other, each with their own perspectives on the past.

The last time they met, they were classmates in school uniforms, and now one is wearing a hunting suit and the other is ...... Surrounded by primitive hides.

There is no particularly obvious change in the body shape of the two, the foundation of the body has been laid in the early stage of development, and since then it has only grown proportionally, especially Luisa's body shape, which is still so slender, but slightly stronger than before, and the outline of the muscles can be faintly visible from the arms.

Layla's burgundy hair was her telltale mark, and Luisa's face was covered in paint.

"I didn't expect to meet again after a few years, but it was here. Layla sighed, "I really didn't expect that the timid and fearful Luisa in the school would become a big sacrifice, and I can't believe it if I was killed...... I was trying my luck, but I didn't expect to win the jackpot. ”

"I've never been timid. Luisa corrected coldly.

"Well, you can say whatever you want. Layla shrugged indifferently, "Actually, I'm here this time to solve a question that has been bothering me for a long time, you should understand, right?"

Seeing that Luisa didn't answer, she had to continue by herself: "That day, the last time we met, it was you...... Activated my abilities?"

She wanted to say "guide me to awaken", but this statement seemed too shameless, so she changed the way she could accept it.

After a moment of silence, Luisa spoke, "Maybe." ”

That day, when Layla showed incredible strength, she solved the siege of more than twenty girls with just one belt, and the shock wave caused by the belt even cut off the rope wind and the wooden bat, Luisa, who was slumped on the ground, witnessed all this, and if it weren't for the inexplicable extreme fatigue of her body, she might have exclaimed in surprise.

At that time, Louisa didn't know that Layla had awakened her ability, she thought that Layla was already so powerful, but she had been hiding her strength before, and she couldn't bear it anymore before she shot angrily.

She wanted to ask, but the two didn't really have much friendship, and on the way to the health room by Layla, she wanted to open her mouth several times, but finally swallowed it back, because she felt that there were still many opportunities to ask in the future, but she never expected that Layla hadn't been to school since that day, and she didn't have a mobile phone or Layla's contact information.

The health teacher gave her a simple examination, and found that there was nothing wrong with her body, she seemed to have lost strength for no reason, even if she was given chocolate and other foods, she still did not recover in a short time.

For the sake of safety, the health teacher sent her to an outside hospital for a comprehensive examination, but nothing was found.

In the evening, her strength recovered again for no apparent reason, not completely, but at least about half recovered, and the day after sleeping in the hospital, she was almost fully recovered.

However, physical strength is one thing, she always feels that there is another indescribable thing in her body, although it has also recovered quickly, but not fully recovered, and there is always a feeling of "almost that", like charging the mobile phone 99%, but only 1% is not fully charged, until about a month later, this strange feeling disappeared.

She didn't know that she had awakened a certain ability, which was too hidden and used in a way that was too special.

After this incident, the image of the school began to crumble, and what was the difference between the small group of girls who bullied the weak and the adult women who robbed her of food in the refugee camp?

No, there should be a difference, the adult women in the camps are forced to survive to rob her of food, even at the expense of other children's lives for their own survival or the survival of their children, while the girls in the school do not have that kind of survival pressure, so from this point of view, the nature of what the girls do is even worse.

What's even more terrifying is that this kind of bullying has always existed, before she entered school, and it will continue to occur after she graduates.

She began to think about the question, why didn't women unite to fight against women as men fought for power, money, and women?

The school curriculum opened her eyes to the fact that the country was monogamous, as is the case in most of the world, where daughters had the same power as their sons, and to some extent more favorable, and that daughters grew up with the right to choose a spouse they liked, whether their parents agreed or not, and that they would not be appointed to marry a man they had never met in exchange for four cows.

She thought of the vast number of women in her homeland, who were still subject to ancient customs, and although there had been some changes in the law, few men were willing to obey the laws that were clearly detrimental to their procreation.

She felt that she had learned enough, and if she continued to study, she would at most learn some advanced knowledge that could not be used in daily life, and since she was going to return to her homeland after graduation, why not go back earlier?

Maybe she could change something.

So, after thinking about it repeatedly, she mustered up the courage to withdraw from the school.

It is a pity that the school has made great efforts to keep her, because although she has broadened her horizons, the ideological brainwashing has not yet been completed, and she has not voluntarily become the spokesperson for the interests of capital, so it would be a pity to let her go at this time.

The school promised to provide her with more generous treatment, such as a single dormitory, greatly increased scholarships, and a global study tour, but she reluctantly refused.

She finally found a reason why she couldn't stay in this school - she didn't feel a sense of belonging.

In the past, she followed Layla every now and then, but she didn't realize it, but now that she learned that Layla had dropped out of school, her study and life seemed to have lost her goal all of a sudden, and her heart became empty.

Before she met Layla, she studied like a nerd and was occasionally bullied, and even if she didn't know Layla, her life would have changed if that serious bullying in the bathroom had come true.

No matter how reluctant the school was, it could not forcibly imprison her, so it could only agree to her request to quit school.

With the scholarship she saved, she bought a few affordable clothes and a plane ticket, and took a plane across the beautiful Mediterranean Sea again and returned to Africa.

She had made a lot of efforts in Africa, but to no avail, for the customs that had been ingrained for thousands of years could not be changed by a few words of her heart's work, and women who were more famous and learned than her had already tried countless times, and besides, she was too young for people to take her seriously.

Once, when she was in a remote village, she witnessed a girl two or three years younger than her being beaten by her father because the daughter refused to obey his father's arrangement to marry a man in his fifties from a neighboring village as his fifth wife.

The father was beaten too hard, and he was beating to the death at all, because he had more than one wife and more than one daughter, and there was no shortage of this one, just killing the chicken to show the monkey, and see if any daughter would dare to resist his arrangement in the future.

The girl was bruised and bruised, her head was broken, and she was wailing and rolling on the ground, while her mother and sisters were silent, her brother was smiling and cold-eyed, and the neighbors were accustomed to it, and no one was nosy, because in the local custom it was customary to kill one daughter as well as four cows...... The difference is that a cow can still be sold for money if it is killed.

Luisa, who was passing by, couldn't stand it anymore, her mind was hot, and she bravely rushed over to stop it, just like when Layla was beaten by more than twenty girls, she shouted "stop" again, and stopped in front of the girl.

Luisa's temperament and clothing are obviously different from those of native girls, even if she speaks the same native language, her tone is also elegant, which is the so-called poetry and bookishness.

The girl's father was stunned, if it was a local indigenous girl who was nosy, he would have kicked it a long time ago, but he was a little jealous when facing Luisa, and just drank and told her to get out of the way.

The girl threw herself over and hugged her legs, begging her for help.

Luisa said I can get out of the way, but you can't beat your daughter anymore, your daughter is about to be killed, and your daughter is a human being, not an animal.

The man laughed as if he had heard a joke, and said that I had no intention of killing her, and when I had subdued her, I would stop beating her and heal her wounds with cow dung.

Luisa's face changed drastically when she heard this, and her fingers trembled slightly with anger, because she knew that if she smeared cow dung on the wound, it would definitely cause infection in such a hot weather, and even if she survived, the girl would be covered with horrible scars.

Luisa asked, "How are you going to let your daughter go?"

His reply was that if his daughter became like this, the men in the neighboring village would definitely not want it, so he had to be compensated and give him four cows, and he would not beat her.

Louisa's meager savings have long since been exhausted, and she has no job, how can she afford to buy four cows?

The man looked her up and down, and he salivated at her temperament that was different from that of an indigenous woman, and offered to let his daughter go as long as she married her and became his sixth wife.

Luisa was so angry that she wanted to save his daughter, and yet he made such a ridiculous request to her, no matter how kind she was, she couldn't have agreed to such a request.

But if she doesn't agree, and can't think of any other way, I'm afraid she will watch him beat the girl to death, or beat her half to death and then smear her with cow dung, so that the girl's life is worse than death.

The people around her were still watching coldly, and no one wanted to stand up and help her.

Seeing that she didn't mean to agree, the man rushed over rudely, trying to forcibly drag his daughter away from her and continue to beat her to death.

Luisa was in a hurry and hugged the girl to prevent him from snatching it.

But her physical fitness is just that of an ordinary woman, how can she rob a big man who is used to doing rough work?

The two were like a tug-of-war, one of them grabbed one of the girl's arms, and she refused to let go, but it was only a matter of time before the girl was snatched by him.

The girl cried out hoarsely, blood coming from the wound on her head that made her look like she was bleeding tears.

Seeing the girl's hand gradually slip out of hers, the same strange feeling as that day reappeared, her heart pounding almost out of her chest, and her body was so hot that it seemed to burn at any moment.

An invisible, massless stream of heat poured through her palm and into the girl's body.

Then in the next second, something terrible happened.

The girl's father's arm suddenly lost most of its strength, and he stood motionless as if he was stupid.

Immediately after, his eyes began to dissolve, and the residue flowed out along with blood and tears.

Not only that, but his ears and nostrils all began to bleed, and his crotch was also stained red with blood, and all the holes in his body were spraying blood, and the blood was mixed with dissolved fragments of his brain and internal organs.

He let go of the girl's hand and fell to the ground weakly, dying of exhaustion.

The people who were watching coldly just now scattered in panic at this time, shouting the devil in their mouths, and fled without a trace in the blink of an eye, including the girl's brothers and sisters, and the girl's mother was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground and desperately hid back.

The girl and Luisa were also terrified.

The feeling of collapse gripped Luisa again, but it was better than last time, and she was at least able to stand.

She and the girl looked at each other in horror, thinking that the other had done it, but from each other's eyes, they could see that the other was as ignorant as they were.

But in any case, they have to get out of here first, because it is nothing for a father to kill his daughter, but a daughter has to pay for her father's death, and she, a foreigner, may also be implicated, and if the villagers believe that they are devils, the end will be even more miserable.

Luisa, who couldn't protect herself, didn't know where she got the strength, maybe it was the potential of life, and the villagers didn't react in panic, so she pulled the girl and desperately fled from the village.

One is seriously injured, the other is so weak that she can't even walk to the neighboring village, and even if she arrives in the neighboring village, the villagers in the neighboring village who get the news will not save them, but will only kidnap them back to their own village.

And the nearest city ...... How can you walk on your feet?

Tormented by heat, lack of water, exhaustion, and panic, the girl could not survive and died on the way, but with the girl's death, Luisa's strength and strength were quickly restored.

The grief-stricken Luisa had no tools to bury the girl, but she could not bear to be torn apart by hyenas and pecked by vultures, so she picked up a pile of stones and piled them on her, which was her grave.

To this day, Luisa still doesn't know what terrifying abilities the girl awakened in despair.

Once it was a coincidence, twice it was inevitable, and after Luisa came out of her grief, she began to think about the connection between this incident and Layla's incident, and apparently the only link was herself, and the wonderful feeling that welled up in her before each event may be the root of everything.

She finally began to look at herself, aware of the fact that she might not be human.
