Irwin opened the window, and bright sunlight poured in. His eyes felt sore, as if tears were welling up. He squinted his eyes. After his eyes got used to the bright light, Irwin opened his eyes again.
During the days he stayed in Opos, Irwin barely saw the sun. The industrial waste gas and the fog pouring out of the great rift accumulated together, forming a gas shield above the city.
The days in Opos were gloomy every day, and it would rain lightly from time to time. Irwin liked this cold tone when he was young, but now he only feels that his joints are in terrible pain.
Arriving at the Freeport, many factories have been built along the coast, but the level of industrial pollution is not as high as in Opos... At least Irwin can look directly at the blue sky and sunlight.
Continuous buildings extend towards the harbor, and ships piled on the sea can be seen in the distance. They are connected together, just like reclamation of the sea, creating the land on the sea. At the end of the line of sight, there is
It is a dark sea.
Irwin breathed hard, and the fresh sea breeze brought the air full of fishy smell, which made Irwin almost vomit.
Wiping the corners of his mouth, Irwin said to himself, "Ahem...this damn place hasn't changed at all."
The lingering smell of fish, the constant noise and sound of running water day and night, and the many people from foreign lands.
Fish and dragons are mixed together, weird things are rampant.
This place is very similar to Opos, but the security of most urban areas in Opos is very good, and the entire city can maintain a certain degree of order.
Freeport is different. People from foreign lands gather here to form different gangs. Huge trade transactions bring about crazy gray industries.
Irwin knows this all too well. When he was young, he was a member of this abnormal food chain and experienced this evil cycle firsthand.
It's like a smelly garbage dump with everything in it.
Irwin withdrew his gaze, put his hand on his left arm, and gently pressed the dagger hidden under his sleeve.
Now Irwin is getting closer and closer to his destination, and dangers are hidden everywhere, ready to give Irwin a fatal blow at any time.
In the past, Irwin thought it would be better to avoid those gangs, and even offered to use money to clear the way, but things are different now. There are existences in this world that are far more evil than humans, and that is demons that are the depravity of humans.
The shadows in Freeport are deep and long, and Irwin guessed that there must be many demons hiding there. Whenever night falls, they crawl out of their lairs and eat like wild beasts.
Demons will not be moved by money, all they care about is the satiety of their souls.
"The human world overlaps with their world, and the world changes at the moment when day and night alternate."
Irwin scribbled in his notes.
Sometimes he would suddenly think of some sentence patterns and paragraphs, and would record them and save them for later use in stories he wrote, or to find inspiration.
"Are you forgetful?"
The voice came from behind, so close that Irwin sat up from the bed, like a tiger with explosive hair.
Irwin yelled, "Can't you make some noise?"
Cinderella knelt on the bed, holding her stomach and laughing when she saw Irwin's appearance.
After getting off the train, the first thing Irwin did was to take Cinderella to find her sister. But after leaving the train station, Cinderella said slowly.
"Where is my sister...I don't know very well either."
"You don't know?" Irwin almost collapsed, "Are you serious?"
"I was only a few years old when I came here last time. Wow... this place has really changed a lot."
Irwin fell silent and forced Cinderella into a corner. He said viciously, "Are you taking advantage of my kindness?"
During the journey, someone did the same thing to Irwin, taking advantage of Irwin's kindness to achieve some purpose, but it was obvious that those people did not understand Irwin well enough.
They knew that Irwin longed to be a noble person, but they never thought about why Irwin wanted to be such a person.
Those people paid the price, and Irwin personally claimed it.
"No...not really, I just think you are very interesting. Maybe we can walk together for a while to pass the boring time on the road."
Cinderella looked for a reason, "I helped you too, didn't I? We are a natural partner, and we can knock down all those killers."
Irwin couldn't deny this. Under Cinderella's child appearance was an extraordinary mind and power of action. Irwin even felt that if he gave her a dagger, she might make it even better than him.
But the more this happens, the more Irwin becomes suspicious of Cinderella. Her various behaviors are not what an ordinary girl can do.
Seeing Irwin's silence, Cinderella moved her position and escaped from the shadow cast by Irwin.
"Then... let's say goodbye?"
Cinderella did not force any of this, and Irwin looked directly at her, without saying a word as before. After a few seconds, Irwin decisively turned around and left.
She was like an octopus, once it got tangled up it couldn't be shaken off, so this was Irwin's best chance to get rid of her - and he got rid of a lot of people along the way.
Cinderella's face flashed back in front of her eyes, and at the same time, the strange feeling of familiarity when the two met for the first time kept lingering in his mind, as if Irwin had seen her before, but judging from her age and experience,
, the two of them have definitely never met before.
Irwin tried hard to get rid of this strange thought, but more random thoughts followed.
This made Irwin even more uneasy.
curiosity.
Once curiosity arises, the sinking of self-will begins.
Irwin knew this very well and tried to forget the related things, but there was a voice calling him in the bottom of his heart, and the girl's burgundy eyes burned in his mind, turning into a more brilliant color.

Irwin stopped and turned his head curiously, trying to see if Cinderella had left.
A familiar smiling face came into view, and Cinderella followed closely behind her.
Irwin was stunned for a few seconds, then he reacted and cursed, "Shut up!"
