The sky was gray.
She was wearing a long white dress and crossed her arms as she walked on the ruined city wall.
The wind howled, and in an instant, the dust on the ground filled the air. A pair of blood-red eyes opened in the darkness. The beast stood on the ruins of the eaves and howled. It opened its sharp fangs, making people shudder.
"Mommy!"
Chi---
A black shadow flashed behind her, and she turned around in shock. The entire ground was in ruins. Other than the ruins, there was nothing there.
The once prosperous palace had been destroyed by a war, and now it had become the habitat of the struggling beasts. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, no one would believe that the thing that destroyed the entire city was a strange creature with tentacles all over its body.
She propped herself up weakly and suddenly smelled a pungent smell of blood in the air.
"Mommy!"
Chi---
Plop, plop, plop…
She shouted at the place where the white fog rose from the darkness. She shook her head and placed her palm on a collapsed wall.
A huge castle wall covered her head. The wall collapsed between the buildings on both sides, forming a unique space below. She was standing in this space, looking at the dark sky. She was crying and searching for any survivors.
"Mommy!"
She felt hopeless. Now, she could only accept this cruel reality. In the entire castle, she was the only one who survived.
A piece of newspaper was blown into the air by the wind and finally landed on her lap. She brushed her long hair that was messy in front of her eyes. Just as she brushed it behind her ear, it was blown back by a gust of wind. The newspaper was printed with a brand-new line of text (currently used in the Warfire Continent: [Southern Clancy Language]: The Federal Government's Prime Minister Longis has been appointed and destroyed a bunch of evil forces in a small town in the west!
She lowered her head and looked helplessly at the pitch-black ground.
" Chirp, chirp-Ouch-"
She raised her head in panic and looked forward in shock. Not far away from her, a few strange creatures were crazily gnawing on an incomplete human corpse.
Those creatures had tails that supported their bodies but no legs. They had strong human-shaped bodies, thick claws, terrifying fangs, and blood-red eyes.
She was so frightened by this scene that she did not dare to move. At this moment, the creatures stopped eating the corpse and turned to look at her.
"Ouch-"
Her heart was beating wildly. She turned around, screamed, and cried as she ran back desperately.
Those creatures gritted their teeth and chased after her reluctantly.
"Help! " Wuwuwu…Help…" She screamed in despair, but she was the only human here. She wished she was still living in the beautiful castle, but she was no longer a princess, and this world was no longer that world.
"Bang!"
"Ah-"
She ran too fast and tripped over a piece of gravel under her feet. She fell to the ground, and a sharp pain immediately spread throughout her body, making her feel like she was about to die. She opened her mouth and could not breathe, and she tried to stand up, but she could not.
The group of creatures was about to catch up. Once they caught up and surrounded him, he would become their delicious food. They would bite their own bodies crazily until they were completely devoured, leaving only white bones behind.
"Help! Wuwuwu…"
Ta ta…
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps reached her ears. She opened her eyes and looked ahead. It seemed to be her last hope of survival.
A fully armed man in a red battle uniform soon appeared in front of her. The man was holding a very strange weapon in his hand. It was red in color and had a phoenix head carved on the barrel. There was also a circle of pale red whirlwind around the barrel.
This was all her hope!
The man was standing in front of her, but because the light was too dim, she could not see his face clearly. The man first raised his gun and aimed at the group of mutated creatures that pounced on them, but his finger was on the trigger and he did not fire.
She burst into tears and hugged the man's legs, shaking them desperately. Then, she pointed at the group of mutated creatures behind them with her other hand, indicating for him to shoot and destroy them quickly.
However, at this moment, a strange smile appeared on the man's face. This smile made her feel fear in her heart.
The man suddenly pointed the gun at her.
In an instant, a cold chill crawled up her body. Her whole body was cold, swallowed by fear.
"Why?"
The man pulled the trigger. Thud! Thud! Thud!
……
.
"Ah!"
She opened her eyes and broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did she realize that she was still sitting on the street. It turned out that what she had just experienced was just a nightmare. This was all meticulously planned by her brain, but why did this dream feel so real?
"Hu-Hu-"
Standing up, she was surrounded by tall buildings and bustling crowds. She looked around and suddenly fell into a world of spinning.
"Hey, Miss?"
"Ah?" She turned her head to look at the man blankly.
The man was wearing a white coat and an apron. He pushed a three-wheeled cart in front of her.
"Do you want a popsicle? There are several flavors?”The man stared at the gold coin in her hand sincerely. His greedy eyes were wide open, clearly wanting to take it for himself.
"What's a popsicle?" She blinked her eyes in confusion and turned to look at the popsicle billboard on his cart.
"It's a popsicle, 1 gold coin per popsicle. Miss, do you want one?" The man immediately revealed a cunning smile like a profiteer.
"What's a popsicle?" She walked over and grabbed one from the bag. She was stunned when she saw the colorful paper bags.
"Food necessary to relieve summer heat." He thought for a while before saying.
"To relieve the summer heat, I remember that we don't eat it when it's hot. Uncle, it's autumn now?”She looked up at the man.
The smile on that person's face gradually disappeared, and then he revealed his cunning smile again. "You can eat it in the autumn too. It's only 1 gold coin. Do you have 1 gold coin?”
"No, I haven't." She shook her head.
The man immediately locked onto the gold coin in her hand and pointed at it."Then what is this thing in your hand?”
She saw a gold coin in her hand. It was given to her by a man who passed by just now. "I don't know what this is." She recalled that she had never remembered what she used to buy food because she had always snatched it.
"This is the gold coin, give it to me!"
"Oh."
She reached out and handed the gold coin to the man. The man took it and took out a beautifully packaged popsicle from the small cart and handed it to her.
"That's great, Miss!" He chuckled and got on his tricycle. In the blink of an eye, he turned around and slipped away.
"I wish you a happy life, miss!"
She looked in the direction that the person had left and then looked down at the popsicle in her hand. She raised her fingers hesitantly and tore off the paper bag.
"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
“？”She turned around and saw a stray dog with gray fur barking at her. She was stunned for a second before throwing the popsicle on the ground. The puppy suddenly stopped barking and sniffed the popsicle before turning around and running away.
"The popsicle…fell off." She squatted down and reached out to pick up the popsicle. When she saw that it was covered in dust, she had no choice but to throw it away. She got up and walked aimlessly towards the crowd…
.
Edders was squeezed in the crowd and could not move an inch. If he had known that there were so many people here, he would not have stood forward.
"Hey, don't push!"
"Don't push!"
The buzzing environment and the crowds were not friendly to Edders. He felt like he was on a raft in a rough sea and could fall into the sea at any time. "Hey, don't push!" He tried to rush out, but he was soon squeezed back, and he was getting closer and closer to the front.
"Hey, don't push!"
"Aiya, who stepped on me!"
The government soldiers held their guns to stop the crazy crowd from breaking through the cordon. They blocked one side by themselves and soon lost the strength to resist under the pressure of the crowd.
"Defeat the northern valiant army, long live Prime Minister Kuima!”
Eiders was squeezed in the crowd. He looked around anxiously and found that they were desperately resisting the cordon set up by the government soldiers. Some women even picked up an egg from the basket and threw it at the faces of the government soldiers. As this behavior appeared, more and more people began to throw things at them.
Bang!
"Aiya!"
Someone threw out a slipper and it hit a lieutenant who was passing by behind the government soldiers. He cried out in pain and immediately crawled angrily to the trial table to find the chief judge.
"Judge, this is bad, this is bad!”The first lieutenant complained in a low voice. He rolled his eyes and cried hypocritically again. "Did you see that? They were rebelling! You want to judge them and arrest them all!”
The Chief Judge was called Domingo. Brass. He had short curly hair and wore a black robe. His tall nose bridge and dark brown eyes didn't look like a Moor or Clancy.
He could be as cunning as Delk! The first lieutenant thought to himself, his eyes secretly staring at him from time to time, waiting to see what kind of judgment he would make.
"No, Lieutenant, this fully shows that there is a problem with your public security management. If you had perfected the security and made it more humane, then these people wouldn't have resisted like today.”
"What? You mean I did something wrong? Look at them, they threw this dirty thing at my face!”As he spoke, he lifted his slippers and pointed them out to the judge.
When the five judges saw him, they looked at each other and laughed.
"What?" The first lieutenant was so angry that his head was about to explode. "Hurry up and judge their sins! My fair and merciful judge…"
.
A man in a black coat and sunglasses was standing on the bridge. He was standing at a position where he could see the entire environment below.
All the heads and the trial platform in the central square were in his sight.
A few people passed by him, but they were all busy surrounding the square. He placed his hands on the guardrail, a triumphant smile on his face…
