After an unknown amount of time, Bai Ge arrived in front of his own doghouse.

The puppy, who was once lively and energetic, now quietly closed its eyes and fell asleep forever in the darkness.

Bai Ge walked out of the room mechanically, holding a kitchen knife tightly in his hand, and stumbled around the town.

Fear, despair, anger, all kinds of emotions surged in his heart, pushing him to the brink of collapse.

He plans to return home to reunite with his parents.

But on the way home I heard singing.

“Reality is but the dregs of beauty, the weight of a spark salvaged from the embers…”

The song was like a ray of light, instantly penetrating his chaotic consciousness, awakening him from his daze and allowing him to find his goal again.

Bai Ge was as if being pulled by an invisible thread, walking towards the place where the sound came from. Even if death was ahead, he did not hesitate.

At this moment, he urgently needed an answer, an answer that could explain all this tragedy.

At last.

Bai Ge saw the girl for the third time.

That perfect girl among all the people chatting.

She was still wearing the same clothes as when we first met. She was kneeling at the entrance of the town, with her hands clasped together, praying devoutly and chanting the mysterious song.

The moonlight shone on her, giving her a hazy halo. The amethyst jewelry on her body sparkled with dazzling light, like stars falling to the earth.

Alice closed her eyes, with a gentle smile like that of the Madonna on her face, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was immersed in some great joy.

She felt extremely proud of herself because she had once again "saved" 5371 people.

She clearly remembers the name of every person she "saved".

In her eyes, they are all kind and good people. That is why she is willing to stay in this small town for two years to rescue them from the real "hell".

The singing is over.

Alice stared at the amethyst ornament in her hand, her face filled with genuine joy.

She whispered softly, "Mom! I think you'd be proud of me!"

The moonlight reflected by the amethyst seemed to shine for the girl's joy.

When Bai Ge saw this scene, even greater fear flooded over him like a tide, and his legs could hardly support the weight of his body.

But then, a strong hatred gushed out from the bottom of his heart, like an awakening beast, lifting him up.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Ge raised the kitchen knife in his hand and rushed towards Alice. Although he knew he might not be her opponent, and although he knew that death might be waiting for him, at this moment, he had already put life and death aside.

In his opinion, the final result is nothing more than a reunion with familiar people!

and so!

He's on!

There seemed to be two clusters of blue flames burning in Bai Ge's pupils, which were the hatred reflected by the moonlight on his retina.

The kitchen knife cut through the night wind, whistling away with a fierce murderous intent.

The amethyst pendant on the girl's hair suddenly lit up with a strange light.

"clang--"

The sound of metal and crystal colliding was extremely harsh. Bai Ge felt a sharp pain in his palm and blood oozed out. The kitchen knife in his hand shattered into silver flakes under the moonlight and scattered all over the ground.

The amethyst ornaments were growing, wrapping around Alice's limbs like living things, forming a thorn-like barrier around her.

"Why are you angry?"

Alice tilted her head, and it seemed as if the colors of the stars were flowing in her eyes.

"They are in an eternal dream right now."

She tapped her fingertips lightly, and a piece of amethyst fragment suddenly floated in the air, reflecting the peaceful sleeping face of Bai Ge's mother.

Bai Ge's temples throbbed and his back teeth chattered when he saw this scene.

The night wind brought the fishy smell of the river and made Alice's skirt sway slightly.

And the amethyst cross appeared behind her.

"Mother once said that painful wakefulness is worse than sweet sleep."

Her voice seemed to be composed of dozens of overlapping tones, as if all the dead in the town were speaking at the same time in her throat.

"Look! They are sleeping so soundly..."

Bai Ge only felt a heat in his nose and blood gushed out.

The moonlight seemed to become as sticky as glue, pressing heavily on every nerve in his body and making it difficult for him to breathe.

He stumbled back, only to see the crystal thorns suddenly grow longer.

Amethyst vines wrapped around his right wrist like a poisonous snake, and the moonlight gathered into a pale arc of light at the blade's edge.

"Crack!"

The forearm flew into the air with blood beads, and the broken part instantly crystallized.

Bai Ge's scream was stuck in his throat, and Alice's fingertips had already pierced his chest.

The girl turned her wrist, and amethyst grew out from her knuckles, blooming into an enchanting crystal flower at the position of his heart.

"Feel sorry!"

A trace of sadness appeared on Alice's face that Bai Ge had never seen before. Her voice was soft but with a hint of tenderness.

"The process of your redemption is so painful..."

The moment the crystal cluster suddenly pierced the heart, it was as if tens of millions of ice spikes exploded in the blood vessels.

Warm blood spurted out, but strangely hovered in the air, condensing into red glass beads.

Every drop of blood contains the warmth of the past.

His father's broad hands taught him how to hold the fishing rod, the sweet aroma of locust flower cakes rising from his mother's stove, and the mint candies secretly given to him by his neighbor Uncle Wang, with their unique coolness.

These memories are like fireflies in summer, clearly within reach, yet at this moment they become out of reach.

Bai Ge fell heavily to the ground, his fingertips grasping in vain at the blood-stained dirt.

The vitality was fading from the wound like the tide, but he still stared at Alice's compassionate and beautiful face.

The compassion on that face was so genuine, yet so ironic, like the sharpest dagger, cutting into his heart again and again.

But she destroyed all of this!

The surging hatred burned in his heart!

He hates it!

He hated Alice's values ​​that were twisted to the point of paranoia, and her so-called "redemption" was nothing but destruction disguised as kindness;

He hated his childhood friend for bringing this scourge into the town, turning its peaceful life into a hell;

I hate myself even more. The fear in my heart had already sounded the alarm, but I used self-deception to numb my nerves time and time again, pushing the entire town into the abyss with my own hands.

When the candle of life is about to go out, darkness floods over consciousness like a tide.

A sharp string sound exploded in my mind.

It was the familiar trembling sound of a hunting bow, with a cold metallic smell, as if it transcended time and space, penetrated life and death, and played the final elegy for this tragedy.

Volume 1: Chapter 4: The Redeemer!

Bai Ge collapsed to the ground, the amethyst in his heart gradually fading away, and he deeply felt his vitality madly draining away like a tide.

His eyes, filled with endless reluctance, once again turned to Alice, who was kneeling at the entrance of the town and praying devoutly.

Look!

How beautiful that girl is, like a fairy walking out of a painting!

His consciousness began to sink, as if being swallowed by endless darkness.

Just when his consciousness was about to disappear, a sound that shouldn't have existed rang in his ears.

It was the roar of the raging flames and the clanging of the hunters' bows, interwoven into a symphony of death.

As he lay dying, a vision flashed before his eyes.

In the burning forest, the hunter drew his bow and shot the last beast in the forest with one arrow.

Right now.

The fate of "destruction" and "hunting" are intertwined, playing the melody of destiny!

The heart that had stopped suddenly beat again, and the broken arm began to regenerate miraculously.

The wound in his heart was actually filled with antimatter, and even the arm that was cut off by Amethyst was also filled with antimatter.

The consciousness that should have disappeared returned like the breaking light of dawn.

"Destruction" turns into a furnace and "hatred" ignites the flames.

The heart is beating strongly!

One! Two! Three...

The beating sound was like a war drum from hell.

The young man who should have died was pulled back from the brink of death.

Bai Ge stood up again.

Alice stared blankly at Bai Ge who stood up and the deadly threat he exuded.

Her face showed surprise and joy.

"So there really are angels..."

Alice murmured subconsciously.

When a group of people believe that death is the true way to escape from suffering, they want to save good people from suffering.

So how should they be "redeemed"?

There is only one answer.

That is "Angel".

According to records, when the number of people "redeemed" by this group reached a certain number.

Angels will be born from this group of people, they have great power and the ideal of saving them forever.

In other words, it is the current Bai Ge.

Alice's whispers drifted away in the night wind.

She stared at the imaginary energy surging around Bai Ge in fascination.

The imaginary energy flowed under his skin like lava, and then condensed into the shadow of an arrow at his fingertips.

The pupil of his left eye had turned into a burning cross star, while his right eye was as scarlet as hell, as if carrying the sharpness of "hunting" and the brutality of "destruction" at the same time.

"So this is what an angel looks like."

Alice gently stroked the amethyst pendant on her chest, her voice filled with sick joy.

"What was written in the book really didn't lie to me."

Bai Ge did not respond.

At this moment, his consciousness was torn between two forces.

The calmness of the hunter guides him to locate the enemy's weaknesses, while the roar of destruction urges him to crush everything into dust.

But they all told him one thing.

"Kill her!"

His fingertips trembled slightly, and a longbow condensed from imaginary energy slowly took shape. When the bowstring vibrated, it made a buzzing sound like burning space.

The crystal cross behind Alice suddenly split into pieces and turned into amethyst spikes that rained down like a torrential rain!
