Seeing that she was already looking for some bones nearby for comparison, Ye Qing did not disturb Zhao Xin, but continued to search around with justice in his arms.

When they entered this underground space, they noticed that there was almost no extra space around them, only piles of bones.

"These piles of bones seem to have some pattern. Xiao Xin, take a closer look. At the top of these piles, some are skulls, some are arm bones, and some are bones from unknown parts."

Ye Qing was still circling around, holding up the burning flame of justice in her hand and shining it into those corners, and those piles of bones came into her eyes.

This scene seemed familiar to Ye Qing, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

If there is anything similar, it would be the abyss demons worshipped by the Beast God Cult, but they are not quite the same.

"These are indeed human bones, but there are more than just human bones. There are other bones mixed in with these bones."

Zhao Xin came to a conclusion quickly. She searched around a few more times and confirmed her guess.

She also took pictures of the arrangement of the bones, and sent the patterns back to the coaching room for Li Xuan and others to analyze.

The two continued to walk forward, but they didn't notice that there seemed to be some tiny black creatures moving around in the pile of bones.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Wenning did not continue to explore further inside. Instead, he turned around and walked outside the temple, looking at the young mermaid who was standing respectfully beside him.

She was quite interested in the role of this "guide". In Huangfu Wenning's opinion, the background of the mermaid youth should also be worth exploring in depth.

"Adventurer... May I ask if you encountered any problems in there?"

The merman youth raised his head, bowed to Huangfu Wenning again, and then asked her.

He looked quite relieved at this moment, as if his life's mission had been completed after sending everyone to this temple.

Why do I have this feeling, and what secrets are hidden in this temple?

Perhaps Huangfu Wenning could get some clues from the mermaid youth.

"No, I do have a problem, but it's about you."

Huangfu Wen Ning smiled, she simply sat down on the ground and made a gesture of invitation to the mermaid youth.

Seeing that Huangfu Wen Ning sat down like this, the young merman did not put on airs and simply sat down as well, placing the trident in his hand beside him.

There was no sea water, and the trident did not pierce into the ground, but it stood so firmly on the ground, which made Huangfu Wen Ning curious about what means were used.

"Since you are the guardian's companion, I will naturally answer all my questions."

The young merman nodded. He thought Huangfu Wenning was going to ask about the temple and what happened around it, but the result surprised him.

"I want to know your story. I want to know everything about you and the people of the ruins in the past."

Huangfu Wen Ning asked calmly. After she said this, the merman youth was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a very complicated expression appeared on his face.

It's like not knowing how to start the conversation, yet wanting to say it.

After a brief silence, the mermaid youth spoke.

"This isn't an interesting story at all. I hope you can listen to it patiently."

"Huh, huh..."

During the day, gray snow fell from the sky.

Since he was born, the young man had never seen a blue sky. He heard that it was because of the war between the legendary races in the sky that turned the world into this.

The young man stood aside, looking at the two people and her painful expression, trying to think of something else to distract himself.

Since I woke up, the rain and snow made of sewage have never stopped.

The misty white fog blurred the boundaries of vision and covered the white gate in the depths. A roar like a roar could be vaguely heard in my ears.

Next to the carbonized ruins, huge air vents rotated violent winds, which turned sewage and metabolic waste from the south into clouds and rain, and brought them down to the sky in the north.

The gray snow accompanied by the bad wind hit my face, and the stinging sensation slightly alleviated the pain of my sister being bullied in front of me.

The young man couldn't move or react. He stared at the hand on his sister's shoulder. The thing in the thin cylinder could cut off the whole arm in an instant.

My sister endured the tearing pain and suppressed her voice. The faint traces of tears were then dried by the wind, leaving crystal clear ice crystals on her small face.

People who are injured like this in this city will have no choice but to die.

But in order to survive, she had to accept such "transformation" and stuff some inhuman things into her human flesh and blood.

"Brother, it doesn't matter, as long as you can survive..."

Many nights ago, the younger sister had said this in the young man's arms. The young man hugged her tightly and buried his head in her soft hair. Her thin hands were on the young man's back, and she hugged him tightly in the same posture.

There was no fire in the night, no snow in the darkness, only the biting cold and endless silence enveloped the young people. Within a hundred miles around, there was no other life except the young people. There were no stars, only chaos, like an upside-down ocean. The undercurrent of water pressure penetrated into the neck, corroding the mind.

The young man raised his head and looked at the white gate in the distance.

Is there hope for humanity behind that white door?

Everyone here is the same since birth.

When the young man opened his eyes, he was already thirteen years old. The memories in his brain gave him limited knowledge and a fixed personality. He was able to work in a humble way, just like his ancestors, becoming one of the parts to maintain the door.

If that were all, it would be great.

The young man and his sister could, like everyone else, work in exchange for food, tools and clothing, and one day they might even be able to exchange it for a house of moderate size in the south of the gate and a warm shelter.

When they came to extract the young man's bone marrow, he realized that even that kind of life was something he longed for but could not achieve.

The young man and his sister are not even qualified to work in this world.

They are only used to replace limbs for higher beings, and they are not worth wasting even on nutrient solution. Probably they want to save money on the nutrient tank.

Their brains were covered by magic and some kind of restriction was imposed. They were then exiled to this gate, relying on their survival instinct to support themselves.

As long as you do more work, you can earn more, right? As long as the young man is willing to work harder, he can definitely keep his sister from suffering from the cold.

They can eat wheat cakes that they can chew slowly in their mouths, and the crispy fragrance fills their hearts. They can smile at each other, sit in a small town in the south where a river flows, lean on each other quietly, and fall asleep peacefully forever.

The young man adjusted his sister's shirt, and sighed with heartache as he looked at the "piece of flesh" that had just been implanted in his arm but had quickly integrated into it.

The young man gently picked her up. She was so weak that she could hardly speak, but she just hugged the young man's neck and fell asleep vaguely.

The snow here will never melt, and the grayish-white snow particles hit this steel jungle-like city.

The young man turned his back to the wind, letting the hard snow fall on his body. Because his right arm had undergone bone replacement, it was very difficult for him to just lift it.

The young man couldn't escape. The magic in his head restricted his thinking like shackles. No matter where he was, he could be found by them.

The only way the youth could avenge them was with his own death.

But the young man couldn't do it, he didn't live for himself. The young man looked at his sister sleeping in his arms and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

The pale clouds carried the wind and the black snow, and the white light scattered all over the sky covered the scattered steel wreckage, like countless reefs lurking on the gray sea, with black stone-like rust spots standing tall. The young man walked on the road, and his footprints disappeared immediately. The only warmth was the light girl in his arms.

The young man raised his head and saw only endless gray as far as his eyes could see.

The young man knew that it was not real light, but he let him take a look, even if only for a moment.

"Hey, I see you guys need help?"

A gentle female voice came from behind him, and the young man couldn't help but stop and look behind him.

She was a woman shrouded in black. He instinctively felt something strange, but he still spoke out of his desire to survive.

"who are you?"

Hearing the young man speak, the woman smiled.

"Call me Yeats."

Chapter 38 Origin

Yeats?

Huangfu Wen Ning frowned slightly. How come this name is exactly the same as Sister Ye Qing's? It should be just a coincidence, right?

It's quite common to have the same name and surname, but the names just match, and it's the same as Ye Qing's sister's name. How could she not feel confused?

But this is something in the game after all, so maybe it's just the name that's similar.

Huangfu Wenning was also quite interested in the "story" told by the mermaid youth. This kind of technological civilization before the magical civilization fascinated her.

Previously on the island of Astra, there was advanced technology left behind by ancient survivors. The sniper rifle and jet used by Xiao Xin were both products of that advanced technology.

However, Huangfu Wenning did not think about this too much, nor did he interrupt the young merman, but let him continue.

Everything changed after that woman appeared.

The young man and his sister got rid of their diseases and released the restrictions in their brains. The moment the shackles that restricted their thinking disappeared, they finally realized what freedom meant.

That is the true freedom of the soul. The mind is no longer bound by slave masters, and all ideas born in the mind come from the heart.

The young man and his sister hugged each other and cried. Under the gray snowstorm, they were like prisoners who finally broke out of the darkness. Their souls that had never seen the light were now bathing in the invisible sunshine.

After that, the young man and his sister became leaders of all the enslaved people.

They used the power of the woman to liberate enslaved people everywhere, and those slaves who were freed were all like the two brothers and sisters.

Some people have stayed in the darkness for too long, and when they see the sunlight for the first time, they are "burned" by the light.

There were many people who collapsed and committed suicide. Some even begged the two brothers and sisters not to release them and let them live out their short and miserable lives.

The reason is simple. Even after knowing the so-called truth, they still can't see any hope.

What ultimately torments people in this world is not unsolvable problems, but the fact that one can clearly see the answer to the problem but has no hope of solving it at all.

Since then, the two siblings have changed the way they act.

Since the other slaves see no hope, they will bring hope.

They once again asked the woman in black for power, and she not only gave them power, but also taught them how to give power to others.

If human methods are not enough to resist the high and mighty nobles, they will use inhuman methods.

The body, blood, all the ways that can make them stronger were applied to their originally fragile bodies. As they transformed from humans to non-humans, they possessed power beyond imagination.

Once the flame of resistance is ignited, it will turn into a raging fire.

At first, there were only two people following the two siblings, and later one tribe, two tribes, and even people from the slave owners' own groups rose up in resistance.

All slave owners were overthrown, and the tyrannical kings died at the hands of the former slaves.

"If time really stopped at that moment, I think it would be the happiest moment in my entire life."

The merman youth smiled and shook his head. His expression was complicated, with a mixture of nostalgia and regret in his eyes, but more of it was helplessness.

If the temporary difficulty faced by the slaves at that time was the slave owners, what they were to face next was beyond the scope of human understanding.

After re-establishing a nation belonging to the oppressed, the world continued to develop, digging up the deeply buried relics of the past, searching for the stars in the sky, and going deep into the ocean to trace the source of life.

Everything is full of vitality and the whole world is developing again.

"Until we found the door and even pushed it open."

The expression of the young merman suddenly became serious, and his fists hanging in front of him clenched involuntarily.

It is an existence beyond human thinking, not existing in space, nor in time, and it is an existence beyond all things.

When the door was opened, my sister, as the captain of the advance team, was the first to bear the terrible force directly.

"The results of the autopsy at that time...the brain was almost cooked, but all the cells in the body were full of vitality, as if the whole person's body was still alive, even stronger than before, but the brain was dead."

Huangfu Wenning noticed that when the merman youth said this, his body seemed to be shaking constantly, and his eyes were already bloodshot.

Although it is a phantom body, it still has the reactions of a normal living being...

Just like the sister he mentioned, her brain is obviously dead but her body is more active. It is an extremely abnormal sign. It is hard not to suspect that he has been affected in some way.

"That was the beginning of the end of our world..."

After the door opened, dreamy starlight filled the world.

There is no bright day anymore, only the dark blue night and the aurora that always appears in the sky. The light that should not appear in any area is the beginning of the abnormality.

The bodies of those who were irradiated changed, and at first these were even benign changes. Their physical fitness improved, their diseases began to disappear, and some people even possessed some kind of more powerful power.

This made many people initially think that it was the so-called "God's grace", but the young man who had received the favor of the woman in black knew very well that there was no such thing as God in this world.

The so-called miracles are nothing more than scenes deliberately created by people with ulterior motives or powerful people.

"All of this has a price, and before we even had time to fight among ourselves, the price had already fallen on us."

The mermaid youth raised his right hand, and in an instant, his skin that was originally covered with scales returned to normal human skin, but several fine cracks appeared.
