They originally wanted to split into three groups, and Cheng Shuang could follow any of them, but the little girl calmly shook her head, thanking the adults for their kindness but resolutely refusing.

No one can be responsible for her life; she should learn to explore everything independently and protect herself.

The three adults were silent for a moment, then each patted her head, wished each other well, and walked off in different directions.

With the stone bridge as the boundary, the other side is shrouded in thick fog. Standing on the high-arched bridge, Cheng Shuang can see the entire town.

She thought for a moment and decided to wander around, hoping to find some normal weapons that humans could use, so she could be prepared for the dangers to come.

The town has only one main road. After everything that happened before, no one dares to venture alone into the town's fine, deep alleys. So every now and then you can see one or two humans who are completely out of place with the paper cutout characters.

She observed quietly for a week and discovered that there were at least twice as many survivors like her as the town's original inhabitants.

All the adults who saw her glanced at her with surprise, then turned away indifferently, as if afraid of being pestered by the children and unable to get away.

The little girl didn't pay attention and followed the music, turning a corner—the sky suddenly darkened, the deep blue to black sky was like a curtain, and the luminous yellow moon was filled with mosaic bricks, which looked particularly spectacular against the pure color background.

Cheng Shuang stopped abruptly, glancing back to see the paper figures on the street disappearing into the nearest room at an incredible speed. Meanwhile, the light on the main road began to fade, day gradually turning into night.

Some humans sensed something was wrong and tried to hide in the room like the paper dolls, but no matter how much they pushed the door and shouted, the door remained tightly locked and unmoved.

In the instant the light in the distance vanished, Cheng's eyes fell on the man in the halo of light, who raised a sharp weapon, intending to break down the door, but what greeted him was an invisible force.

The weapon backfired, and he was cleaved in two.

As blood was spilled, darkness enveloped the entire world.

The town had already disappeared from sight.
