Chapter 178 - cherutan (1/2)

She finally understood why she felt so familiar with this youth. It was because of those eyes. They were the same eyes as the young man's, and it was also because of what he had just said.

Monnie had sung only for Behemoth; she had never even heard zero. So it seemed impossible, but it was indeed only Bessimos who met all the requirements. However, it was difficult for Monnie to connect that mountain-sized beast with the youngster who looked like her age.

”I... ”Gillotine...” The youth clenched his teeth and said, ”That name... ”I hate it...”

But Monnie said happily, ”It's really you, Bey. No, Gillotine. I thought you were home. ”

The young man, Zerutan, quieted down when he heard that. His beast eyes revealed a faint sadness as he said, ”This place …. Not knowing him, not being able to find the way … I only recognize you. ”

Seemingly because he had some communication with Monnie, Zerutan's speech became smoother and smoother. Monnie understood from his words that the Zerutan seemed to be similar to the residents of Titan City, belonging to the mutated region. But there was something different about it. It seemed that in the life of the Gelutan, the wild beast had lasted longer than the human form. Monnie could faintly guess that it had something to do with the young man's living environment.

The adventurer had once said that the Gelutan came from the Southwest, a land of danger and death. In order to survive in that land, natural wild beasts had a much greater advantage over humans. The Zerutan was captured when it appeared in the form of a wild beast, and it maintained this form for a long time. After Titan City gained its freedom and was unable to find its way home, Zerutan could only silently follow Monnie.

This time, they travelled all the way from Titan City to Shadow Capital. In order not to be discovered, the Zerutan who crossed the Shadow Capital's cordon from the sky switched back to human form from the beast form, merging into the city's crowd.

”So you have already been in Shadow City for two or three days?” Monnie asked curiously, ”Then where do you usually live?”

The youth stepped on the ground and succinctly said, ”Next.”

”Below?” Mony suddenly covered her mouth and said, ”You mean the underground passage?”

Zerutan nodded and said, ”There. Silence …. It was … ”Cold...”

Monnie's nose twitched, as if she had seen her own past with this young man. She took his hand and said, ”Come on, you come back to the hotel with me. Although the room is a bit crowded, it won't get cold. ”

The youth hesitated for a moment before finally nodding in agreement. He couldn't find his way home, and the reason he wanted to stay with Monnie was because the song Monnie sang for him on that night in the warehouse made him feel like he was back home. Although it was only a vague feeling, the boy still felt that staying by Monnie's side was closer to his hometown.

For Gillotine, in this dark world, Monnie was a warm light.

And Monnie didn't know that at that moment, she had planted in her heart the belief that she was going to help Zerutan get home. She felt closer to him than to anyone else, even when he was Behemoth. Because she and he were both looking for people from the past!
