Outside Clough's door.
A settlement not far from Fort Ares.
Cleves was returning to the settlement quickly. Today he worked as a temporary worker at the War God Castle for a day and bought enough food to feed his family for four or five days.
Cleves couldn’t help but wonder if his greedy sister Donna would jump up and hug him when she saw so much bread and milk.
When he thought of this, Cleves quickened his pace.
The settlement was finally reached.
There are about twenty households living here, making it a relatively small settlement.
The settlement is mostly made up of shacks made of iron sheets. The ground is dirty and sewage is everywhere.
It was exceptionally quiet tonight. Although the lights were on in every house, no one was talking.
The children who usually run around on the ground were not seen either.
Cleves felt strange, but now, hunger drove him to go home.
Came to their small but warm shed.
Cleves shouted, “I’m back, Mom, Dad, Donna.”
He pushed open the door.
There was a gurgling sound in the kitchen, it seemed that my mother was making soup.
Dad was sitting on a chair, reading a magazine that had become frayed.
My sister Donna was sitting on a carpet full of holes, playing doctor and patient with her one-eyed rag doll.
"Brother, you're back."
Hearing the sound, Donna dropped her doll, ran over and smiled sweetly.
"Donna, look what I bought?"
Gillis opened his backpack and the food inside poured out all at once.
However, he did not hear the expected cheers.
My sister, still smiling but obviously without much enthusiasm, said, "Oh, there are so many things."
At this time, my father snorted and said, "Buying useless things!"
The seventeen-year-old Cleves suddenly felt aggrieved.
How could this not work
This stuff is enough to feed us for a few days.
He looked at his scarred hands, and finally said nothing. He picked up his backpack and planned to put the food in the cabinet.
Snapped!
A hand slapped the cabinet, preventing Cleves from opening it.
It’s my younger sister Donna.
Cleves looked at her in confusion, and Donna said innocently, “The cabinet can’t hold it anymore, brother.”
“How can I not put it down?” Cleves smiled and tried to open it.
"I said I can't let it go and I can't let it go!" Donna suddenly shouted fiercely, like a wolf that wanted to pounce on and bite people.
Cleves was startled, and just as he was about to say something, his mother came out with a big pot and said gently, “Come and eat.”
fragrant!
Very strong meaty aroma!
Cleves was immediately attracted by the aroma of meat that filled the room.
He had forgotten the last time he had eaten meat.
Dad put down the magazine and said, "See, everyone says you only buy useless things. Who would eat bread when there's meat?"
My sister also jumped and dragged her one-eyed rag doll to the table as if she was dragging a corpse.
Mom wiped the sweat off her face. I don’t know if it was due to the lighting or some other reason, but the sweat seemed to glow with blood. “Cleves, come and eat.”
"Look at you, you're 17 and still so skinny, come and gain some weight, it's better to gain some weight."
Dad and sister both looked over and smiled: "Yes, yes, it's good to gain some weight, it's good to gain some weight."
Cleves always felt that the atmosphere tonight was weird, but he didn’t know what was weird. He scratched his head and sat down at the table.
Mom started serving soup to everyone and taking out the bones with meat from the soup.
The meat, which had been cooked very well, floated to the surface once it was put into the soup.
The strong smell of meat made my sister very irritable: "Mom, hurry up, I'm hungry."
"Okay, okay."
Mom served her a big bowl.
Donna took a big sip of the soup despite the heat, then scooped out the meat and bones and bit, tore, and chewed them.
Boom!
Mom put a bowl of soup in front of Cleves and said with a bright smile, “Eat quickly, Cleves.”
Looking at the meat foam with white fat floating in the bowl, as well as a few pieces of meaty bones, Cleves was so moved that he almost cried.
Meat.
This is meat.
He nodded, and then said: "Let's eat some bread, drinking soup alone is not enough..."
"Shut up!"
Dad suddenly burst out: "Bread, bread, I miss your bread every day!"
"Give me soup! Give me meat! You piece of crap!"
Cleves was startled, and at this time his mother smiled and said, “Don’t scare the child.”
"Children, children!"
"He's already seventeen years old, he's no longer a child!"
Dad suddenly overturned the pot, and the boiling soup immediately poured all over Mom. Mom's clothes were wet and her skin was red, but she was still smiling.
Dad was immediately annoyed: "Laugh at your mother, what are you laughing at!"
Mom laughed and said, "I'm laughing at you because you're a loser, a loser who can only bully others at home."
"Bitch, who are you calling a loser!" Dad picked up a chair and smashed it on Mom, leaving her face covered in blood.
“It’s so noisy!”
Donna screamed, "Dad, please don't waste food, and Mom, please stop making noise!"
Cleves was horrified when he saw the chaotic scene.
Something is wrong!
Something is so wrong!
Dad's veins were bulging, the blood vessels in his arms were wriggling like worms, and his teeth seemed sharper than usual.
My mother was still laughing, but there was a wound on her forehead and you could see the bone inside, but she didn't feel anything.
Donna, the timid and crybaby Donna, now picked up the bowl and drank up everything in it like a hungry ghost.
Then he vomited something on the ground, picked up Cleves’ bowl and said, “Brother, drink it quickly, it’s cold!”
Cleves shook his head instinctively, and suddenly his whole body stiffened.
He saw what Donna had vomited on the ground.
It was an eyeball.
An eyeball that is almost cooked.
What on earth is in that pot!
At this time.
Daddy wasn't hitting Mom anymore, and Mom wasn't smiling anymore.
They all looked at Cleves and said, “Yes, Cleves. The soup is cold. It won’t taste good if you don’t drink it now.”
At this time.
The cabinet behind Cleves opened a crack, as if too many things inside had poured out, pushing the cabinet door open.
Snapped.
An arm fell out of the cabinet.
Fell to the ground.
Strictly speaking, this was a forearm, and Cleves could still see the white broken bones.
He finally knew what was in the cabinet.
He suddenly understood why the settlement was so quiet.
A scream rang out in the shed, and then Cleves rushed out of the house and rushed to the entrance of the settlement.
Suddenly a strong wind blew.
Amidst the flying sand and rocks, Cleves’ eyes blurred and his parents appeared before his eyes.
"Brother, where are you going?"
"Brother, are you going to abandon us?"
"Brother, you are really bad!"
"The bad guys must be killed! Kill them!"
Cleves turned around and saw his sister dragging her one-eyed sister out. In her other hand, she was holding a dagger.
"Sure enough, he still has to be killed."
"Yeah, just a little thinner."
"But never mind, he is our son."
"Just be thinner."
Mom and Dad had stopped arguing and were approaching with smiles on their faces.
"do not come!"
"do not come!"
“Don’t come over here!” Cleves hurriedly ran in the other direction.
Dad, Mom, and sister Donna reunited, and the family of three walked towards Cleves with smiles on their faces.
Sudden.
do not know why.
They screamed as if they were frightened by something.
A lot of thick and hard hair suddenly grew on my father's body. His body suddenly grew to three meters tall. He grew sharp claws, red flames burned in his eyes, and a circle of light whiskers on his neck fluttered.
My mother's limbs quickly stretched out, she fell to the ground, her head turned upside down, her abdomen quickly swelled, and she turned into a human-shaped spider.
The younger sister suddenly fell to the ground, but her one-eyed rag doll stood on the ground. Its eye radiated a faint blue light, and strands of light poked out from the cloth.
A layer of colorful light appeared in the sky above the settlement at some point, blocking the settlement like a cover.
Then, a cloud of black smoke appeared out of nowhere in the open space, and then a cute little girl about eight or nine years old with a round face and big eyes walked out of it.
“Really, Hajime, why don’t you let such disgusting things return?”
The little girl looked at the 'family of three' who either fell down or turned into monsters with disgust.
A little boy of about the same age came out from another corner, bowed and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured."
"You only recover their strength and abilities. Their memories and spirits will disappear as their bodies collapse."
“This is a helpless move.”
"After all, not all of our kind are willing to return. For these 'stubborn' guys, this is the only measure we can take."
The little girl sighed and said, "Okay, get rid of it as soon as possible."
"I haven't finished my homework yet."
The father turned into a wild beast, grunted, and suddenly pounced over, rushing towards the little girl with his teeth and claws bared.
The mother, who had turned into a spider, climbed up the shed and started spitting out pale green webs at the little girl.
The one-eyed rag doll suddenly became textureless, floated into the air like a ghost, and then turned into the appearance of a little girl.
The little girl first raised her hand, pointed her palm towards the humanoid beast, and waved her hand.
The beast suddenly flew sideways, blocking many spider webs for the little girl, and crashed into the shed where her mother was.
The shed collapsed immediately and Mom jumped down, flying over on her hands and knees.
At the same time, the rag doll in mid-air stretched out its hand, and sister Donna's dagger fell into its hand.
The dagger turned over and stabbed hard into his chest.
On the ground, the little girl looked up at the doll and snapped her fingers.
The doll immediately turned into its mother, and the dagger stabbed into her.
The mother, who was running, screamed and a large stream of blood spurted out of her chest. She rolled on the ground in pain.
boom!
The humanoid beast rushed out, leaped high, and pressed towards the little girl.
The little girl raised a finger to the humanoid beast and whispered, "Bang."
The beast in the air suddenly exploded, shattered into countless pieces of flesh and bones.
