The bonfire reflected the shadows of the rocks beside the campsite, and the light and shadow on the ground were mottled, shaking with the beating of the flames.

It was a pity that she could not feel the warmth of the flame at first. Perhaps even if she put her hand into the fire, she would not feel anything.

She remained silent, after Mann offered to let her tell her about her past.

"No?" Mann had a regretful smile on his face, but he did not ask persistently.

"You can't listen." Chu shook his head, and the hoarse voice sounded like a night owl's cry in the night.

Mann didn't understand Chu's meaning, so why couldn't he listen. He turned to Chu and looked at Chu, about to say something.

But then, he saw Chu stretching out a finger and pointing it on his forehead, and a cold touch came from his forehead.

Mann was stunned. Before he could react to what he was going to do at first, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes, as if he had fallen into another world.

When he could see the surroundings again, he found himself in a wasteland, with the sky and the ground all in blood.

He raised his eyes and looked at the wilderness, and then stood there in a daze.

There were corpses everywhere, and the remaining limbs were scattered all over the ground, and blood immersed the ground.

Among the corpses that fell on the ground were people and creatures he had never seen before. Their deaths were different, with either hideous or fearful faces.

They were so unwilling that each of them looked at the low-pressure sky with their unsightly eyes wide open.

The air smells bloody and it is hard to be heavy, just as the air is soaked in blood, becoming viscous and heavy.

Mann couldn't count the number of corpses. He only knew that the corpses had reached the end of his gaze, and there were thousands of them.

His breathing became rapid, his face turned pale and sweat was flowing on his forehead. The corpses on the ground seemed to be smiling at him, and he was alone and helpless.

He had never seen so many corpses, nor had he seen such a terrifying scene. Here, it seemed to be the so-called hell.

At this time, he saw a figure in the center of the corpse, with a dark figure in his hand holding a long black knife, and the blade dripping with sticky blood.

The figure seemed to have noticed him, and turned around.

That was Chu. Mann recognized Chu's appearance, but it was not Chu, because her breath was so strange. In the suppressed black, there was endless tyranny and ferocity.

Finally, Mann couldn't bear it and took a step back, and the world in front of him darkened again.

"ah!"

In the real world, Mann, who was by the bonfire, exclaimed, supported himself on the ground, sat back a few steps until he leaned against a rock.

"Huh, Huh, Huh." Mann was sweating and gasping heavily.

The surroundings were still quiet, and the bonfire made a faint crackling sound. Fortunately, his exclamation was not loud and did not attract other people in the camp.

At first, he saw Mann being frightened, and he said softly.

"Feel sorry."

That's why she said that Mann couldn't listen. What she saw Mann was just a scene she had in the Apostle Wasteland before.

That was when the killing in the wasteland had just begun, and it only took a few years. At that time, she was deeply trapped in the killing, her human nature had been distorted, and her heart was full of tyranny and cruelty.

Chu stopped talking, sat by the fire and closed his eyes as if he was about to rest.

Mann leaned against the stone and gasped. On the quiet night, the dry and bloodless ground told him that what he saw just was just an illusion.

But it took him a long time to calm down.

The boy looked at the messenger sitting by the fire in confusion. He understood why he told him that he could not listen to her. But he still couldn't help but recall the scene he had seen in the illusion before.

What did she do when she stood in that corpse? Did she kill those people? Then why did she kill them?

He had too many questions, but he could not ask any more. Because he knew that he could not even bear the first experience of something, let alone help him share the burden.

There was only the sound of a bonfire burning beside the fire. After a long time, the boy took a breath and looked at Chu and said.

"Once upon first, one day, I will listen to you finish everything."

Chu opened her eyes slightly. Under the reflection of the flames, the black eyes were empty and unsightly, and only the lonely flames were leaping silently.

Chu did not answer Mann, but in fact, all she could tell him was the wasteland, the corpse and blood. She couldn't tell Hillman, Sakurako, robots, and Lawrence.

Because she had taken away their sins and had returned the things they gave to her, they were already innocent people and had no connection with her anymore, and their stories no longer belonged to her.

"Go to sleep." Chu slowly closed his eyes again, "I'm going to rush tomorrow."

Mann looked at the first day of the junior high school for a while, nodded and responded, "Yes."

He lay down by the fire and closed his eyes.

But after a while, he felt something hanging on his body. It was a black cloak, which was condensed from evil.

It was indeed a little cold tonight.

Mann shrank his body and fell asleep peacefully in his cloak. Perhaps this is why he was not afraid of Chu. He believed Chu was not a villain.

The next day, the soldiers in the camp got up early, and they led Mann and Chu toward the city of Heskama.

The road between the rocks is very wide, and the clear and cloudless sky seems to be very far away. The scenery to the west is always so beautiful with the rough minerals, but it is also very dangerous.

Until they met the city of Heskama, the fortress between the peaks.

The towering city walls almost sank into the clouds and make people unable to look up at the top of the city. The huge city gates occupy the mountain road, making the people standing in front of the city unable to help but sigh at their insignificance.

After the soldiers made the communication, the city gate slowly opened.

I don’t know why, after the soldiers in the team shared what they had experienced, the soldiers in the city always looked at Chu with a strange look. Of course, Chu didn’t care much.

Mann looked at the city curiously, with passing soldiers and camps everywhere. His eyes were full of novelty, everything was as he expected, with too many things he had never seen before.
