Wasteland Echoer

Looking down at the broken whip that had turned into a puddle of dark red blood on the ground, Wright sighed and stared at Miyou with slightly blurred eyes.

After two or three seconds, he put the "Crazy Bear" pistol back into the holster on his waist and said:

"I don't accept that you want to fight me for Kayas. After all, if you have the hostile status of the Lost Ones, any imperial soldier will start a war without mercy. The empire's military laws have stipulated that you should give up fighting with the unintentional people or the Lost Ones. Combat is considered mutiny and will be punished by a disposal center or military court. Besides," Wright's tone was mixed with a hint of sadness:

"When fighting Kayas, my body and strength were not completely under my control. The power of the red magic source is too mysterious, and I followed the limited guidance to master it as much as possible. And it would often get out of control, if it weren't for me If I had this inexplicable and firm mental strength, I would probably have fallen into madness. By the way, Yato was also surprised that my spirit is not easily controlled. Isn't it interesting?"

Wright forced out a smile, mixed with sadness, helplessness and a little hope.

"Kayas was indeed killed by a powerful force beyond his understanding, no... and my understanding. This was his fate. He received an oracle when he met the gods. It seems now, It's a true portrayal of him." Miyou said with a tearful voice.

He stretched out his left hand stained with red and yellow filth to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes, and stood up slowly with support.

Countless tiny, bright red tentacles composed of blood are extending outward from the fracture of his right wrist, reconstructing his right hand.

"What...oracle?" Wright asked curiously.

"The darkness of confusion will swallow up the reappeared wisdom, and the bright red will take over the mission of the light. Under the blood-red sky where the mechanical gears are running, the endless yellow sand is wrapped in the remaining hope." After Miyou finished speaking, because of the forced suppression just now, His whole body trembled as he tried to stop crying.

"If it were a month ago, I might not have cared about these extraordinary magical things, and would have turned a deaf ear to them. But now, I can probably understand the meaning of this oracle. Don't worry," Wright said thoughtfully Through the cylindrical confinement field glowing with blue distorted light, he said:

"I will go to the ruins of Donusk, and I will also go to the center of the ruins in accordance with the orders of the Socratic Council and the Empire before the start of the 'Silence's Advent' campaign. I promised Aaron, and I also promised the incarnation of the god in the dream. I I want to unravel the mystery of the 'Daughter of Tool Yuan' and the mystery of me."

"In that case, from the perspective of strength and will, Mr. Wright is indeed the best candidate. [Order] Wright, hehe, you may become a great person like Ivan XXII. I heard that he also After passing the test of the Order Card, he is also an [Order]. Let’s get to know him again,”

Miyou stretched out his newly grown right hand, which was so white and free of unnecessary impurities, and said:

"My name is Miyou, I am 16 years old, and I am a lost person who works as a [thief]. I am different from the half-lost children of the Tenyin sect. I have the blood of the lost people and the blood clan. I am currently living in the world because of Mr. Aaron. The 'Silent Z-59' team under the Chekavsk Corps. It belongs to the category of free agents. Nice to meet you, Mr. Wright. I am willing to be your assistant."

"My name is Wright," Wright said a little embarrassedly:

"If possible, I need a follower, or collaborator. Help each other, help each other. Brett told me that most of the places further east in the Silent Highlands are not under the control of the empire and are in 'disorder' Status. You are related to him, and I believe this is worthy of trust. If you don't mind, how about calling me big brother? Sir sounds... very unfriendly, not like a title for someone seeking to form a team."

"Brother Wright?" Miyou shouted tentatively, his brown eyes actually "glittering".

Represents the light of love, hope and desire!

However, just as Wright's right hand came into contact with the right hand of Miyou's new student, a noisy sound suddenly appeared in his ears.

Men's murmurs, women's cries, children's roars and the sound of metal gears running made him feel as if his brain had been hit with a hammer, causing an explosion of pain.

Immediately afterwards, he saw that the surrounding blue twisted lines were becoming straight, and the surrounding cylindrical confinement area suddenly became dim.

As the line turned into an arrow-like object and rushed upwards, Wright hurriedly looked around. The time-slowing confinement caused by the [Staller] ability stolen by Miu just disappeared, and the wind gradually began to surge around him. Remind them that they are back in the realm of reality.

"There are still five minutes left, Wright...brother, don't worry." Miyou glanced at his watch and answered Wright's inner worries first.

"Okay. Then let me introduce myself. My name is Wright Sugra, [Order] human... superpower, I guess. The type of magic source power is red magic source power. There are many things I don't know myself. Power, but I am a member of the Sogra Guard, with a rank of Silver Blade 5, so I can be considered half a sergeant." Wright took his hand back, touched his pure black hair, and said with a smile.

"Brother Wright, we are all people living in the darkness. We are marching hard amidst the disasters brought by the Creator. Do you think we can see the dawn of the Wasteland Era?" Miyou said with emotion as he looked at Wright.

"Yes. Maybe after becoming a god. Someone told me that this world is a terrible nightmare of the Creator. He will wake up one day, and then the world will come to an end. But if we can use the power of gods to Identity contact with Him may be able to reverse the collapse.”

The contents of the myths and legends in "The General History of Socrates" that he had read on the day Socrates woke up suddenly appeared in Wright's mind.

"But Miyou." Wright's tone suddenly became stern and cautious, and he asked:

"When I was taking a nap on the train just now, my dream was invaded by a lost person who called himself [The Deceiver]. Although he failed to cause harm to me, just now you said that you stole [The Deceiver]'s skills. I want you to Recall where you came into contact with him.”

"Where? Let me think about it... It's probably seats 15-30 in carriage C. I heard the [soldier] sitting there repeatedly mentioned that they were originally stationed in Donusk. I think that [the fraudster] might be A member of the Donusk local army. Brother Wright, are you really not affected by the dream?" Mi You asked with concern.

"Probably not at all. I'm also very surprised. It seems that my mental power has been very strong since I came to this world. As long as I don't deliberately come into contact with extraordinary and magical things, I will never be mentally controlled. But it should be almost time now. Apart from this matter, we can talk about everything else in the car." Wright patted Miyou on the shoulder and urged.

"Yeah." Midea nodded and agreed.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

The whistle of the train spreads outward, as if calling the homeless souls to find their way.

At the moment when the whistle was about to end, Wright and Miyu finally boarded the train again leaving Dunji Station and heading to the Donusk ruins.

…

"Yongdong" train, K cars.

"You mean, little brother? After fifteen minutes, you solved the problem of...lower abdominal distension and pain, and you actually took in a little brother?" Brett looked at the "skinny" Miyou in disbelief, looking up and down.

The military green uniform is almost the same style as Moros's. Every weak point is protected by semi-metallic pads. The only difference is the badge on the chest. Miyou's is the "chimney" badge representing the Chekavsk Industrial Party. .

"To be precise, I was introduced. I have not hidden it from you two before. I went to see Aaron and followed the reminder of the priest John. I want to know the magic power in my body and my professional information. ." Wright explained.

"That's right. Of course Brett and I told you the dangers of this kind of behavior afterwards." Moros turned his head to look at Wright and Miyou who were sitting between them with a serious look on his face, and put a copy of everything in his hand. "Industrial" newspaper published by Kavsk newspaper.

This is what he asked to relieve his boredom from a [soldier] from the Chekavsk Legion whom he temporarily met behind him.

"But is he really a [soldier] who follows the legion to participate in the battle? I'm afraid that if he goes to the battlefield, he won't be able to hold a howitzer when facing unintentional people." Brett joked.

His eyes stared straight at Miyou's scarred but fair face.

"He was sent by Aaron to join the legion. His mission is..." Wright deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"Assist us to go to the ruins center of Silent Highlands and explore the god 'Daughter of Mechanical Element'. Isn't this the core content of the order issued to us by the Socra Committee?"

"It's true, though. I saw a hint of femininity in his face. You know, Wright. Soldiers who live in the wasteland usually don't have the opportunity to vent their emotions. This is also why there are fewer women on the battlefield. One of the reasons. If such a fair child is not even a superpower, he would have been possessed by a big shot with special hobbies." Brett's tone became subtle.

"He is indeed not a human being. This is normal. Except for the capital Sogra, which is shrouded by a dome, there has long been a world of humans and countless other races."

Wright blinked and said:

"He is Miyu the Lost, a [thief] profession. He can provide a lot of information for the next mission. Also, if you encounter a situation where you come into contact with people from the three lost churches, I think you can't always use fighting. Let’s solve the problem.”

"From the Church of Dark Night? He looks so thin. He shouldn't be from the Church of Giants, right? Is he from the Church of Hope? I heard that the old man Aaron is from the Church of Hope." Moros asked in a low voice "accidentally".

"There are only two brothers in the Hope Church. I should be an ally with you, not an enemy. You should not use such a contemptuous tone to 'interrogate' me." Miyou muttered, like a grown-up man. child.

"Yes, it is precisely because of the same purpose that I need to be more cautious. But you should be a legion directly under the Industrial Party. If you join our team, it will not be difficult to operate, but you still need to negotiate with your captain." Moros said.

"No more, there is no one left. Although I am a lost person, Mr. Aaron needs me to lie dormant in the army and wait for the opportunity to complete some orders. But after the last battle of Kofu, our team encountered an encounter when it retreated near the old farmland. We were attacked by the alien unintentional people. Apart from me, the remaining team members, including the captain, also died." Miyou said with some disappointment:

"Unintentional people do not have autonomous consciousness in many cases. But if I try to control them to leave, not only will the probability of success be very low, but my identity will be exposed. So, I chose to escape."

Seeing Mi You lowering his head sadly, Brett, who was sitting opposite, felt a strange feeling of love in his heart. He couldn't stand it anymore and said:

"It is common for us to come into contact with one or two Lost Persons when we are performing missions in the outer areas. This is war, and there are spies on both sides. I heard about it from several brothers in the Chekavsk Legion, Aaron's success in running the city and governing the city are inseparable from the support of the Imperial Crown Prince Ivant. There are rumors that Aaron is the Crown Prince's teacher."

"The Lost One is the teacher of the Crown Prince of the Human Empire. This is interesting. But yes, Aaron gave Wright a prop-like monster of little value to make friends with. Miyu came here under Aaron's instructions. Assist Wright. In this situation, in order to prevent the inhumane 'Blood Night Ritual', it is the first priority to find the daughter of Tool Yuan. Miyu has no conflict with us. So,"

Moros put down the newspaper, stretched out his right hand, and said softly to Miyou, who was sitting next to Wright:

"Get to know me, I am Moros Vladimir. I am currently a member of the Sokra Guards and a rank 1 Akatsuki. I am also currently a battlefield observer and an investigative member of the Sokra Extraordinary Team. I am also an honorary member of the Monster Foundation. Former worker of the Magic Source Research Association. Why did I mention 'former'? Because the latter two organizations have basically stopped working."

Moros proudly grabbed Miyou's hand and shook it while sitting down with semi-gentlemanly etiquette.

"Hello, Miyou, a soldier of the Blood Tribe, the Lost, and the Chekavsk Legion. Brother Wright has just finished the introduction, so I don't need to add anything else." Miyou looked up at Wright with a slight discomfort.

"Don't worry about him, he's just like that. After all, it's hard for a non-staff member to become a regular employee after fifteen years. After fifteen years of being angry, there will inevitably be some character problems." Wright said in a low voice.

The face of Moros in front of him, with a slight scar on the outermost side of his waxy cheek, showed an angry expression, and his cheeks bulged unconsciously, like a poisonous puffer fish.

In stark contrast to him was Brett opposite. His silver-white hair matched Miyou's short white hair somewhat. They were like father and son. He introduced himself with a smile on his face and said:

"I am Moros Brett, your new and most trustworthy best friend. We have been together for almost ten years. I am confident that professional rank and identity are not important. In the wasteland, fists are the most important thing. Talking stuff." Brett said, clenching his right fist into a fist like a boxer's stance.

Suddenly, the private compartment was filled with a cheerful atmosphere!

"Welcome to join the 'Silence Exploration Team' composed of the Sokra Guards, the superpowers and you, the special Chekavsk Legion [Warrior]. Starting tomorrow, after we repair the Donusk military camp, we will mine the We specially drove the 'Spider brand' chariot transported by the 'Wenhuo' train to the real human ruins of Donusk. I heard that not only explorers like to gather there to hunt for treasures, but even the self-proclaimed 'ruin hunters' have special abilities. The volunteer group will also touch there." Moros said to Miyou with passion.

"Yes, there are human ruins there. But Moros," Wright said doubtfully:

"When will we call the 'Silence Exploration Team'?"

"Just now, fifteen minutes ago." Moros and Brett said in unison.

…

As the "Eternal Motion" train passes through a semi-green, semi-Gobi landscape and a dilapidated mountain tunnel, until the surrounding green gradually becomes nothingness, replaced by endless stones and yellow sand, at the end of the gray-yellow tone, The train slowly drove into a station that was not grand but relatively clean and tidy.

Following the gentle voice of a woman prompting to get off the train and the continuous honking of the train's whistle, Wright looked out the window. In addition to the gray-yellow Gobi space, there was a land not far away that was almost one-fifth of the size of Migov Town. A large and small area surrounded by a four- to five-meter high wall made of black-painted steel.

"We're here, Camp Area A of the Donusk Ruins." Brett's unique rich voice reached Wright's ears.
