Chapter 2174 All the conveniences given to you by lies

The wind and snow stopped unexpectedly. On the second day of the incident at the station square... the sky was still gloomy, but the temperature was not much warmer than when there was wind and snow.

But the view is much better.

After a group of people packed up in a hurry, they continued to search for supplies - some useful items that were finally found on the train yesterday were lost in the train commander's square.

Monsters generally don't move during the day, they like to sleep in dark corners, so during the day, they can act more boldly - as long as they don't go into places where they can't see the light.

These words were told by Mr. Katz to Remia.

Probably because of the Chechang Plaza incident, Remia felt that Katz and Taromaru were obviously more enthusiastic about her than before.

"How? What did you see, [Z]?"

On a high tower, [Z] is observing the distance with a telescope.

Hearing this, [Z] put down the binoculars, looked down, and saw that Taromaru was carrying Remia on his back, and jumped up easily all the way.

"There is still wind and snow outside the city." [Z] shook his head: "It's all around, but only here has stopped, which is a bit strange."

Remia thought for a while and said, "I've heard people say that a typhoon will appear in a place called the [Eye of the Typhoon]. Inside the eye of the typhoon, there will even be calm... Is it the same reason?"

[Z] Still shook his head, not sure if he was in the negative, or he himself didn't know.

"Can I take a look?" Remia looked at the telescope in [Z]'s hand, showing a look of expectation.

[Z] did not refuse.

She used it right away, looking at the grayness in front of her eyes, as if she was trying to find something - for a while, she fixed the telescope in a certain direction.

"Would you like to go and have a look?" 【Z】said suddenly.

Remia subconsciously put down the binoculars in her hand, and looked at [Z]'s... those eyes that don't seem to be really smart now.

——[Z] is not human, he... it's just a...

"That place." [Z] said with a slight smile: "The place where I found you and your companion...there."

He stretched out his hand, and the direction he pointed was surprisingly the same as Remia's position when she was holding the telescope.

Remia subconsciously nodded.

……

"Why am I doing this kind of thing here?"

"You think I can move these rocks?"

In the ruins of the station square, the temporary unscrupulous employer Mr. [Sunny] is making things difficult for the tireless Iron Man Katz, making him do unpaid black work.

"What exactly are you looking for?" Katz raised a big rock and threw it aside casually - [Sunny Sky] asked it to dig a passage as much as possible.

"There is one thing that I am more concerned about." Mr. [Sunny Sky] pondered at this moment and said: "We have traveled for so long, is this the first time we see a plant-type monster?"

"It seems... is that so?" Kaz was startled, "And then?"

"I saw it." Mr. [Sunny Sky] said seriously at this time: "When I was fighting against that Christmas tree monster, I saw something, but the situation was very bad at the time, and I didn't have time to look carefully... So, I want to study it. Okay Alright, keep working!"

"Okay." Mr. Iron Man replied weakly.

……

Before it turned into ruins, it should be similar to a bank... Remia and her classmates spent half a month here when they first came to the city of ruins.

On the way, Remia's words gradually became less and less, until Taromaru let her down at the door.

"The gate is blocked, the gap is too small. Taromaru, please look outside, let Remia and I go in." [Z] said at this time.

"Don't worry, if there is anything, I will greet you loudly."

Remia was at the entrance, she seemed a little hesitant... She glanced at [Z] subconsciously, then nodded silently, and walked in.

The space inside is actually not small.

"Did you open the bank's vault when you were hiding here?" [Z]'s voice suddenly came.

Remia seemed to be frightened, "You just said... what?"

"The treasury." [Z] said rather casually: "We have found some before, and the contents will be well preserved."

Remia shook her head and said: "The world is like this, even if there is a lot of wealth, there is no such thing."

【Z】But said: "It's not wealth, but it's also something of wealth."

Remia looked suspiciously.

[Z] explained: "It seems to be something called a safe. In the past, people would put the most valuable things in it for storage. So apart from things like banknotes, gold and gems, occasionally they would find something else... Although, very few."

"I haven't opened it." Remia shook her head, as if thinking of something, she turned her face away and said in a low voice, "I'm an ordinary person, how could I open it."

"It's here, it's just ahead." [Z] pointed to the front at this moment: "I found your place."

Remia hummed lightly... She walked a little slower.

She is familiar with the environment here, after all, it is a place where she has lived for a period of time - she even knows it well, in order to be able to escape from the attack of monsters, she has already memorized the layout of the surrounding environment.

Remia finally came to the office of a bank clerk... There were still some traces of her temporary life here.

The girl subconsciously took a breath of heat toward her hands, and asked in a low voice, "[Z], did you help move my classmate's body away?"

"No." [Z] shook his head: "But I moved her to the table, but... it seems to be gone."

Remia stared blankly at the only table in the room, and subconsciously said, "It's missing... what do you mean?"

[Z] thought for a while and said: "The temperature is so low, it's impossible to be corrupted. I still pass it, your companion has no vital signs... In other words, the biggest possibility is that he was taken away by a monster." .Of course, there is another very rare possibility."

"what?"

"Besides you, there are other companions of yours here." [Z] thought for a while and said, "If they found the corpse and they happened to know each other, they would probably take it away. But...maybe some kind of We don’t know the situation yet.”

Remia looked puzzled.

【Z】Simply stated that there are no traces of monsters in the vicinity, at most there are footprints of him and Remia...the corpses may have disappeared by themselves.

How could the corpse disappear by itself?
Remia shook her head, she really hoped that the other rare probability [Z] said was true.

"I...I want to stay here for a while." Remia suddenly whispered, "I'm alone, is that okay?"

"I'll take a look inside." [Z] nodded: "Maybe we can open the vault and find something."

……

[Z]'s footsteps began to move away——she realized that [Z]'s footsteps were quite heavy, probably because [Z]'s body was already much heavier than a human.

No wonder... I can't hear the sound of my heartbeat.

Remia curled up in a corner, which was a temporary place to keep warm at night when hiding here.

She hugged her legs and gradually buried her face in it.

From the very beginning, it was here.

In such a small, cold, dark room.

……

……

……

……

This is the dungeon in the village used to detain villagers who have committed crimes... The dungeon is dark, flooded, and even colder at night.

"Daxiu, Daxiu...Daxiu, can you hear me?"

The sound of calling.

In the dungeon, the little boy who was sitting in the corner with his knees hugged raised his head subconsciously, looking at the only skylight above his head, "Remia..."

The little boy got up in an instant, rushed to the bottom of the skylight, raised his head, "Remia! It's really you!"

"Shh...don't be so loud." The little girl made a silent gesture at this time, and then took out some baked potatoes from various pockets of her clothes, and stuffed them into the dungeon through the lattice of the skylight .

The boy must have been hungry for a long time, so he caught one and hurriedly gnawed on it.

She saw... saw the criss-cross wounds on the little boy's back—this was the punishment for desecrating the temple, and three more times in the next month.

If it weren't for Daxiu being a child, the punishment wouldn't be so light...compared to burning at the stake.

In the silence, Remia's tears dripped down, "Daxiu, I'm sorry, I..."

The wolf-eating boy stopped suddenly... His nose was sore, he knelt down on the ground eating, and wiped his face with his clothes indiscriminately.

When he raised his head again, he smiled: "Hush! Don't be so loud, the high priest has already told me!"

The little girl opened her mouth, her face turned extremely pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "The high priest... What did he and you say?"

Daxiu said: "The high priest said, only in this way can I be good to you and me... If I don't admit that I offended the saint, Remia, you are likely to be disqualified as a candidate for the saint girl. Anyway It's impossible for me to become a saint, right? But Remia, you are different, that is your dream. Besides, this little injury is fine! You all said that I don't look like a man, that's fine, with these scars , let me see who says I don't look like a man!"

"No, there will be no scars! I will pray until your scars disappear!" The little girl said quickly in fear, then paused and hesitated: "Then... the high priest, still, and What did I say to you?"

"No more." Daxiu shook his head: "The high priest asked me to stay here, and he will let me out when the time comes."

--he does not know.

——Daxiu, he...don't know, it's actually me...

"Actually, it's actually me..." The little girl's lips trembled.

However, a deep voice suddenly appeared here - and the high priest of the temple in white robe.

"You shouldn't be here." Only the high priest of the temple said calmly at this moment: "Remia, have you finished your homework today?"

The little girl didn't dare to look into the high priest's eyes at all, she lowered her head and could only see Daxiu in the dungeon—but Daxiu stuck out his tongue at her at this moment, and waved his hands hastily, signaling her to leave quickly.

The high priest turned and left at this time, the little girl gritted her teeth, and could only follow silently... The temple was burned down, and now she can only study at the high priest's house temporarily.

There was almost no words all the way.

It wasn't until he was about to see the residence that the high priest suddenly stopped, looked up at the starry sky, and said calmly, "Do you have anything to say?"

Remia opened her mouth, "Why...why, I didn't tell Daxiu that it was...it was me."

"Does it make sense to do this?" The high priest said: "You will lose your qualifications as a candidate, and your brothers and sisters may eventually be exiled because you violated the temple. Now, you continue to be a candidate for the holy girl, and your Brother, you just need to endure some hardships. Don't worry, I will release Daxiu after a while, and you can still live as before."

"Isn't this... a lie?" She watched in horror.

"Lying?" The high priest turned around and looked at the little girl in front of him expressionlessly: "The truth will cause you to have nothing, but the lie can keep your little happiness... In this way, the truth and the lies are still in harmony." Do you need to care?"

She seemed to feel something terrible, and subconsciously took two steps back, "Then... the high priest, you say, you say... the saint's revelation, could it be?"

The high priest in front of him gave the little girl a meaningful smile, "Soon, you will realize all the convenience that lies give you. But when you try to expose a lie, don't say anything else... I don’t know, so loving your brother, knowing that you were the first to betray me, would it be?”

……

……

shake.

Remia raised her head slowly, and [Z]'s face was just a short distance away.

"You have cried."

"Hmm..." Remia hummed lightly, and said faintly: "I remembered the fragments of living with my companions before. At that time, we had just entered school and were assigned to the same dormitory, and we chatted together. Dawn. We have an appointment, we will graduate together, together..."

There were tears in her eyes, and her voice stopped here——suddenly, she hugged [Z] tightly, and burst into tears, "I'm really scared...really, really scared !"

[Z] patted her on the shoulder, "When you were at the station square, I saw you were quite brave."

"Fake it." Remia said softly: "At that time, I only knew that if we didn't try our best, we were all in danger... I said it, and if I did it again, I would definitely not be able to do it... I, I don't have you Bravery imagined."

【Z】Blinking his eyes, he looked at the emotional girl in front of him—what he heard was the girl's rather steady heartbeat instead.

"I found something inside, do you want to go and see it?"

The girl raised her head in doubt, and subconsciously nodded.

……

……

……

……

Wow--! ! !
Whoa oh oh oh-oh-! !

Something began to fall from the air, and then fell directly into the gray snowdrift—then, like a groundhog stuck out its head.

"Okay! It's this kind of whiteboard start again... We can't use our strength again in this damn place."

"[Yulia] sauce?"

"What's wrong, Senior Eleven? I'm sorry, I've crushed you!"

"It's not this!" The boy let out a hearty laugh, "I want to ask you, are you running fast?"

"It's okay!" The woman raised her nose without saying a word.

"That's good." The boy nodded: "Then, let's start running!"

"Eh?"

Immediately, Senior Sister [Yulia] looked around and saw dark shadows all around, as if something was approaching in groups.

It is a group of creatures that look like snow wolves, but have far sharper teeth and claws than snow wolves, and even have a single horn on their heads!

"Fuck..."
