Original God: After the Abyss Girl picked up Miyoushe

Ed placed all his hopes on this banned drug. He fed it to Kaliber, but Kaliber did not respond.

Looking at Ed who was crumbling while holding his son, Sora hesitated and said, "Maybe... the dosage was not enough, or the course of treatment was not completed?"

"This reason..." Ed didn't know whether he believed it or not. "Anyway, now is not the time to be depressed. No matter how many years I have to live here, I can wait."

His smile was uglier than crying: "Anyway...the thing I have the most is time."

I don't even believe the excuse that the dosage is not enough.

Sora was just thinking that it would be too hard to endure the endless time without hope.

Dainsleb had not returned from the deep forest, and Paimon and Seraphina had no idea where to find food. Sora accompanied Ed to get another dose of medicine, but it took a long time, and none of them came back.

It is now very late and there is a crescent moon hanging in the sky.

The moonlight was not enough for Ed, so he found a lamp.

On the way to the Seven-Day Statue, they saw a walking Hilichul man.

Ed squinted his eyes to identify it carefully, mistakenly thought it was Caliber, and chased after it.

Sora's eyesight was much better than Ed's, and he could see clearly when he got a little closer: "It's not Kaliber. There's no scarf on his arm."

"Well, the silk scarf on Kaliber's arm was a gift I gave to his mother. Now I use it as a mark." Ed's worries were relieved a little, and he said self-deprecatingly: "I'm afraid my eyes can't bear it anymore. I can't even recognize my own son. This body... Alas..."

"But isn't this Hillilman a bit strange?" Usually, the Hillilman would rush out when they were still some distance away from the Hillilman's camp. Now they were almost close to the Hillilman's face, but the Hillilman still didn't react.

Ed was also puzzled: "It seems that it has no interest in us at all, but just walks in that direction resolutely. Is there anything over there?"

Sora thought of the missing Dainsleb and Seraphina, and felt a little uneasy: "I don't know, let's follow them and see."

Ed nodded: "Well, about the Hillock people... the more we know, the better."

Along the way, they saw many corpses of abyss monsters, which seemed to have been pierced to death by long-handled weapons such as spears.

Sora squatted down to take a closer look.

Many of Kong's friends used long-handled weapons. When he traveled with them, he also paid close attention to their moves and habits, as well as the marks left by the use of weapons.

The location, size, depth of the monster's wounds... were very similar to the monsters Serafina had killed in Aru Village, but Sora couldn't be sure.

That time, Serafina deliberately got injured in order to leave the team.

Although the Hillocks had no intelligence, they had the instincts of living things. There were so many corpses of monsters here, so they would instinctively avoid this place.

But the Hilichurl they were following showed no intention of retreating, and there were even many Hilichurl people on the road who joined this Hilichurl and headed in the same direction.

Their destination is a secret place.

Ed looked around and said, "It's so eerie here. Did this place exist before? It seems like it has never been discovered before."

Sora drew his weapon, "Let's go inside."

If it was really Seraphina who was killing the monster, he would have to get involved.

After seeing Seraphina's mental state five hundred years ago, he would no longer let Seraphina fight alone while Sora was within reach.

The secret realm was filled with the strange and decayed atmosphere of the abyss. The hill people knelt on the ground and worshiped devoutly as they walked.

There are no monsters or Seraphina here, only an apostle from the abyss and something even stranger.

It was a thing entangled in layers of chains, suspended in the air, emitting an ominous aura, and very similar to the statue of the inverted god of the underworld.

Ed knelt down unconsciously, mumbling something.

Sora was horrified by the strangeness of the thing, but Ed felt a long-lost peace.

When I came out of the secret realm, the moon in the sky seemed dimmer.

Ed regarded this as the guidance of fate, and banned drugs had been "blessed" by the abyss.

To make sure of nothing else, he fed the medicine to Kaliber.

Ed held the child and called softly, "Calibel? Calibel?"

The Hillock Man, who was like a wooden man before, turned his body and uttered a child's voice from his throat: "Dad?"

Ed cried and laughed: "Calibel! Oh my God, this is true, this is a miracle, my Calibel!"

The uneasiness in Kong's heart grew more and more serious: "Did it actually succeed?"

Ed didn't care about the strange abyss, pointed at Kaliber and said excitedly: "See, it works, Kaliber can speak again!"

Kalibel propped up her neck in Ed's arms: "Where's Mom? Why can't I see Mom? And my aunt, Mom told me to go find my aunt."

"Mom... Caribel, look at me first, you recognize me, right?" Ed avoided the question, trying to change the topic of his mother and aunt.

Kalibel was still a child, so he was easily led away: "Yeah, I know, you're the dad."

Ed rested his forehead against Kaliber's: "Hahahaha... redemption, is this the feeling of being redeemed?! Are you feeling okay now, Kaliber? Are you still conscious?"

Kalibel nodded his head: "Well... I seemed to have slept for a long time. In my dream, I hid in a small room. I didn't dare to go out, but I didn't want to go out either..."

When he lowered his head, he finally realized something was wrong: "My body! What's wrong with my body! Is this me?"

The child asked in disbelief: "Dad, what is going on?"

Ed thought quickly: "Don't panic, my child. Do you still remember the fairy tale your aunt told you? The one called "The Fishing Monster"! When you fell asleep, we arrived in this fairy tale world."

"There is no Kanreya in this world anymore, and there is no longer our home, but there is also no red sky and doomsday-like disaster. You will be like this, as a little monster, and stay with your dad forever."

At eight years old, Kaliber was already sensible enough to ask, "Am I dead?"

"No, what are you talking about! Kalibel, look, you still have your mother's scarf on your arm. She is blessing and protecting you. How could you die?" Ed, who had just been avoiding the topic of his aunt and mother, had to bring them up again at this moment.

Sora did not interrupt the conversation between the father and son, but leaned against the wall to sort out his thoughts.

Not far from here, there is a fairy tale cottage with the same layout as this cottage, but the furniture is more suitable for children. There is also a painting of a hill man fishing on the wall of the fairy tale cottage.

Hill people fishing, little monsters, "Fishing Little Monsters"...

Just like during the cycle of the Flower God's Birthday Festival, Kong felt like he had grasped some clue, but couldn't figure it out.
