The drowsy and blood-red sky, the desolate land, and the broken and collapsed buildings were half buried in the yellow sand. A breeze blew, and white bones emerged from the yellow sand. In a dark corner of the ruins, several short monsters sat around a corpse, constantly gnawing.

The man walked through such urban ruins. Although he was staggering and exhausted, his eyes were still very firm. He let the wind and sand blow through his hair and black windbreaker. No matter what kind of monsters there were in front of him, he could not stop him from moving forward.

The man has been walking for a long time, and in the foreseeable future, he will continue to move forward like this. Although he doesn't know where to go, no matter what, he will not stop moving forward!

"Are you still unwilling to give up?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the dark void beside the man. It was quite strange, but the soft and mellow tone of the sound diluted this feeling well.

The man was no longer surprised by this scene, and he had not even turned his head back. He just continued to walk firmly until the voice asked again, "I have already walked through the whole of Europe, should I continue to persevere?" The man replied impatiently, "Yes! There are also Africa, Asia and even America. I have never seen it! I believe... in places I have not seen, there will always be humans--"

"That won't happen!" The voice interrupted the man's words, harsh and unquestionable, "That is impossible, I have said it many times! What you see now is the future. It may be just a prophecy, an illusory thing to you. But to me, it is within reach..."

The man remained silent, and the voice continued, "You know who I am in your heart, right? Otherwise, the most important thing you should do is to scold this 'illusion' as illusion, rather than firmly looking for hope that does not exist in this despair..."

"I believe... there are always things you can't see clearly..." The man spoke again, with a rare slight wavering in his voice, "And my... responsibility... is to find out that!"

"Your persistence makes me feel distressed..." The voice sighed softly, but said, "But it's up to you. Anyway, the long years here do not affect our reality. I have enough patience to wait for your change..."

So time passed, and the man's footprints returned to the starting point after spreading the whole world.

Although the place where he is is just a illusion, the change is still clearly reflected in the man's body. His hair became more and more turbulent, and his black windbreaker was ragged and tattered. More importantly, the man's eyes no longer had the original persistence.

He was shrouded in despair, collapsed on the dark side of Yin in a ruined building, not even trying to move a finger. He murmured to himself, "How could this happen...How could this happen..." and repeated it and continued.

It was not until a long time later that the voice that had been with him had sounded again, "Now... you should believe it, right?"

The appearance of this voice gave the man an outlet to vent his anger. Along the way, the man saw countless tragedies. All cities turned into ruins, human society no longer existed, and the few remaining survivors also became demonic toys and food. These had a very strong impact on the man. In this doomsday, he could not find any hope, and the pillars in his heart collapsed during the journey, and his whole body was at the lowest point of his spiritual emotions.

At this time, he was flirted with voices. Although he understood that the other party was telling the truth, the man still yelled invisibly at the void where he could not see the other party. "You guys! Look at what you have done to humans!"

The voice calmly replied: "It's not you, but us... Although you and I have different races, they are also members of the demons. You should never forget this, just like you will never be out of this catastrophe."

"I'm different from you!" The man replied loudly, and said fiercely: "Since that's the case, then I'll kill you all?"

"Hahaha..." The voice laughed, only making the man laugh a little angry, "Do you still refuse to admit it? What are you saying stupid things like killing us?... Don't say whether this is useful or not... Haven't you been doing this all the time before? But you have seen the actual effect, and these are meaningless at all..."

The man was silent again, his pupils spread without focus. After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Since these are inevitable, what's the point of letting me see all this?"

"The arrival of the doomsday is inevitable... but the degree of disaster is severity. With my level, I can only see such a slight change. How about it, should I work hard once?"

The voice murmured his opinion. During the process of telling, the man went from anger to míhuò and then to silent. When the voice finally said, "Didn't you always take saving humanity as your mission? Why are you still hesitating now? You know, this may be the last way to help them!"

After thinking for a long time, the man finally nodded slowly. He raised his head again, and finally had the initial persistence in his eyes, "I understand, if this is the case in the future... then, I will take on this unpleasant identity! As long as... as long as it can help more people!"

...

"Hey, hey! Get up!"

Because of hearing such a shout, the man woke up from his deep sleep. He was a little embarrassed, and he saw the clear face of the Asian man opposite, and then he completely cleared the reality. He left behind why he dreamed of what he had experienced a long time ago, and the man mowed a curved cigarette out of his pocket and put it in his mouth, "When is it? Is the summoner already here, Li Hua?"

"I really envy your ability to sleep when you say it." Li Hua said something irrelevant until the man replied expressionlessly: "It's just a mercenary that is trained." He just started the topic, "Yes, it's already here." After pausing, he said a little uneasy, "But it's not because of the summoner in this city, but because of the other people... there are three in total. Hello, I say, Wei-"

"I am 'zero', don't call me wrong!" The man who called himself Zero frowned unhappily. Seeing Li Hua on the opposite side, he shook his head and continued, "Is it another summoner here? It seems that it is the reinforcements sent by the headquarters you mentioned. But there is no problem with this..." Zero comforted Li Hua, "No matter who comes, he will be allowed to go back and forth today!"

"I'm not talking about this..." Li Hua was still a little uneasy, "I mean, since a summoner has come, then we don't need the initial arrangement, right? It's the most famous shopping mall! If it really starts, the dead will definitely..."

"This is just a necessary sacrifice! You are not new to choose this path. Are you still holding a meaningless and unbearable heart in your heart and never giving up?" Zero interrupted Li Hua again. Seeing him lowering his head guiltily, he raised his head again and replied firmly, "No, I have never regretted it!" Zero said just after sinking a little, "I can't be sure now, and it depends on the performance in the future before we can make a decision."

"I see……"

"Where is Thomson?"

"It's already gone. The three summoners who came here have very strong ideas. The ones we arranged outside did not hold them back for too long..."

"Then you go too." Zero said, "Remember not to fight hard, just lead them to the place we have arranged."

"I know."

Li Hua said, turning around and walking down from the top floor of the teaching building. Looking at his back, Zero silently sipped two cigarettes, and then took out a wooden box from behind and started placing it.
