Chapter 2 (2/2)
The fire starter drew a semicircle in the air and finally landed on the mountain of corpses.
Ceng!
The blaze of the fire rushed to the air and the orange light wrapped all of the corpses within them.
“Since I stole the body of someone you wanted to protect, I won’t leave your bodies out in the wild. I’ll send you off with this fire. I hope you’ll rest in peace from now on.”
The voice that came out of the mouth was unusually cold, as if it was layered with snow, but it was so indolent that one could not just ignore it.
The big fire started spreading along the barren land.
She turned around and left without any reminiscence. The only thing that sent her off was the blazing fire behind her.
The dead had already passed on, and she had to live.
Dada! Dada!
The sound of hooves came nearer and nearer, as if a horse would appear right in front of her in the next second.
Her clear eyes focussed slightly and she stopped in her tracks. She looked up, and in her blurred vision, she saw more than ten horses flying towards her.
“How fast!”
Her eyes narrowed slightly. Those horses were running as if riding on wind. Their speed had superseded her knowledge of horses’ speed.
“Big Brother, there’s still someone alive!”
The sound of the hooves came increasingly nearer, and the conversation also reached her ear.
“I don’t care if they’re dead or alive. I came here to hunt for valuable items. Everything on this deserted land belongs to me!” The arrogant voice was clipped with a crazy laughter.
She immediately understood it in her heart.
There would always be a bunch of people who loved to take advantage of the dead.
“Big Brother, what about that person that’s alive?” asked his subordinate.
“Alive?” The merciless and cold voice sounded. “If she looks decent, we’ll bring her back and sell her off. If she’s ugly, we’ll just kill her straight away. There’s no need to waste too much time on her.”
Sell her off? Kill her?
Her gaze narrowed slightly and a cold glare sparkled in her eyes. A smile seemingly appeared on her dry lips.
