messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 105 The Confused First Day

The door to evil opened in front of Chu, and Chu stepped in, walking towards the evil called disaster.

······
Central City, this is a modern city in every sense.

There are many high-rise buildings, the bustling central commercial street, and the busy streets.Of course, there are relatively quiet residential areas, small parks suitable for walking, and sparrows standing on the utility poles.

It operates in a regular and stable manner just like every modern city.

The same is true for the people in it. They get up early to go to work every morning, and return home exhausted in the evening, have a lively or deserted dinner, and then go for a walk or rest at home.Until nightfall, drink a cup of hot water and fall asleep peacefully.

The life here seems to be like this forever, unchanged, a little boring in the calm, but it becomes natural for people to get used to.It seems that everything will continue like this, if there are no accidents.

Next to the residential area in the center of Central City, the small park at dusk is quiet and peaceful.

There are usually no people in the park at this time, because it is dinner time, and the citizens of Central City are very observant of the time.

On the path in the park, a black stone rolled down to the middle of the path.

It looks very special, it is not like an ordinary stone, it has a regular cubic shape, and the surface is engraved with exquisite but meaningless patterns. It may be a work carved by an unsatisfactory stone carver.

But where the stone fell from, no one knows.

There was no one around, and the stone lay quietly in the middle of the path for a while.

Then, unexpectedly, it shattered out of thin air and turned into powder.

A puff of light black smoke gushed out from it, gathering together on the deserted path.

Fortunately, there was no one nearby, otherwise this supernatural phenomenon would have frightened people quite badly.

The black smoke surged and became thicker and thicker, gradually converging into a human shape, and finally, a person walked out slowly in the black mist of the human shape.

"Gee chi."

A sparrow on the tree by the road saw all this, screamed twice, flapped its wings and flew away.

After that, the alley fell into silence again.

······
The apostle was summoned, but she did not meet her summoner.

Wearing a tattered black robe, Chu raised his head blankly and looked around.

She didn't see anyone, and didn't even feel the signing of the contract, as if she wasn't summoned this time.

She was at a loss, because without the summoner's words, she didn't even know what to do.

She has never performed such a task before, and there is no one who proposed the task, no request, no order in the place where she was summoned.

The evening sunlight passed through the leaves, turning into spots of light and scattered on the ground, as if to dye this time with the color of evening.

At the end of the path is an open space with some park facilities and a small sandpit in which stands a half-built castle.

Looking at it, it should be a castle. I guess it was piled up by the children nearby. Before the pile was finished, the parents went home.

This is a very ordinary community park, just like the community park in most people's memory, it is not big and inconspicuous, but it always gives people a warm and warm feeling, because it always accompanies people to grow up from childhood place.

Outside the park, the city is bathed in the sunset.

There is nothing special about everything, at least at first glance, and there is no purpose for her to take away this time, the so-called disaster.

Everything in front of me didn't look like I had experienced any disaster.

This made Chu even more confused. If there was no disaster, why did she come here?

Standing there for a while, Chu walked out along the path.

In the quiet park, she could hear the sound of insects flapping their wings in the bushes on both sides.

Chu walked aimlessly in the park, fiddled with the park equipment, and looked at the flowers planted in the flower beds in the park for a while.

When she reached the gate of the park, she stopped because she saw something.

There was a cardboard box by the gate of the park. The mouth of the box was half open, and there seemed to be something moving inside.

Chu stood, silently staring at the carton.

Then, a black figure in the cardboard box suddenly raised its head from inside, stuck out its tongue and yelled at her.

"Wang!"

It was a brown puppy, its black eyes were full of novelty about the world, its pink tongue stuck out, and its two paws were resting on the side of the cardboard box, looking at Chu with joy, shaking itself happily tail.

It should be very well-behaved, at least it didn't leave the carton and run around, but it seems to be abandoned anyway.

Chu and the puppy looked at each other for a while, then Chu walked to the side of the cardboard box and sat down quietly with their legs crossed.

She doesn't know where she should go, so it's okay to stay here.

"Have you seen my summoner?"

Sitting on the ground, Chu asked the puppy lightly.

"Woof." The puppy wagged its tail at Chu, but obviously, it couldn't understand what Chu was saying.

Chu lowered his eyes and looked into the puppy's black eyes.

She was stunned for a while, and then called out.

"Wang."

"Wow!" The puppy barked even more happily, chasing and biting its own tail in the cardboard box.

There was a strange scene at the gate of the park, a girl was sitting with a puppy in a cardboard box.

The girl is expressionless, while the puppy is playing alone, sometimes chasing and biting its own tail, sometimes lying on the side of the cardboard box and looking around, and sometimes sitting peacefully for a while.

At night, it rained in the city. Naturally, no one would go out for a walk today.

Raindrops beat on the street, gathered in a stream, flowed across the road, and flowed into the sewer at the corner.Various sounds from the rain are intertwined, ringing softly in the night of the city.

At the gate of the park, a street lamp looked lonely and shone on Chuhe's puppy in the cardboard box.

The rain became heavier, falling on Chu's cheeks, Chu looked at the raindrops falling from the sky, then turned his head to look at his side.

The puppy huddled in the cardboard box with its head drooping. Its cardboard box was completely wet, and it became a wet ball.

Chu looked at the puppy, blinked calmly, and stretched out a hand.

A piece of black extended from her hand, covering the top of the carton. The raindrops were separated by the black, and slid to the sides, never falling on the carton again.

It hadn't been rained for a while, the puppy thought the rain had stopped, and looked outside, only to find that Chu was holding a black object to protect it from the rain.

"Wow." It turned around in the box, then lay down on the side of the box, and barked at Chu twice.

In the rain, Chu touched the puppy's chin.

"I don't know where I'm going, you know?"

The puppy didn't answer, but shook the water droplets on his body.

"That's it." Chu said to himself, "You don't know either."
