Chapter 358 I Do Eat Children
"I seemed to hear someone's voice over here just now?"
"I didn't see it, did you hear it wrong?"
"...Maybe. Lately, I've been hearing my family calling me, but I can't remember what they look like. I feel like I'm mentally unstable."
"It's okay... just bear with it a little longer. Once you forget yourself, all the pain will disappear and we'll be reborn."
"You're right! We're all suffering the same pain. I'll go kill two more and put them to rest!"
The footsteps gradually faded away, and Zhong Mu, who had been holding his breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Forgotten City..." Zhong Mu sighed and scratched his head. "What if I didn't chat with Master Yin Xiu often? What if Master Yin Xiu forgot about me? What if no one came to save me?"
Li Mo looked up at the sky. "How could that be? A boyfriend will never forget the important people."
Zhong Mu was furious, "Be careful, Brother Xiu might forget you too! Don't forget that this is the Forgotten City!"
Li Mo straightened his body, his expression indifferent, "The other part of me is with my boyfriend. My boyfriend will never forget me, he can only forget you."
Zhong Mu was so angry that his teeth were broken, but he didn't dare to disrespect the boss, so he could only bear the grievance.
"Forget it... Anyway, let's avoid all violence for now. No matter if it's you or me, it will be troublesome if either party is forgotten, especially me. What if you, boss, forget me! That would be the most troublesome!" Zhong Mu was very serious about self-protection, so he pulled Li Mo to avoid all the limelight yesterday, hiding from place to place all the way, and finally slept in a bridge hole.
The environment of the Forgotten City is not just violent and dangerous; the underlying rule of forgetfulness is the most deadly.
Zhong Mu has been avoiding it since he discovered the rule, and has not been affected by it yet.
But he couldn't get involved! Not to mention that he accidentally forgot Li Mo, what if Li Mo accidentally forgot him, Zhong Mu ran to Li Mo to ask for protection, and the boss didn't recognize him and turned around to eat him up, he wouldn't even have a place to cry.
Zhong Mu wiped away his tears, feeling sorry for his own weakness.
Yesterday, Li Mo ate a few people and ate some food, but Zhong Mu still hadn't eaten. In this dangerous environment, he felt helpless like a poor little thing.
He pulled out a headscarf from his pocket, wrapped it around his head, and handed one to Li Mo. "Let's wrap our heads and go out to find something to eat. The group of people you provoked yesterday are still looking for us. Don't attract their attention!"
Li Mo reluctantly took the headscarf and said, "I found it, so I can just eat it."
"You can't eat it! Do you want Brother Xiu to forget you?!" Zhong Mu was furious. He was definitely right to bring up Brother Xiu!
Li Mo put it on his head casually and followed Zhong Mu out.
The original environment of the Forgotten City should have been quite beautiful, with waterways crisscrossing and all the houses built on the water. The shimmering lake surface reflected the houses dotted with flowers and beautiful scenery. Every remaining thing was engraved with the beauty that once existed here.
But now, Zhong Mu walked out of the bridge hole and onto the street. All he could see on both sides were burnt and damaged houses, abandoned cars that had crashed onto the roadside, and stores with broken windows. This place had lost its normal living environment, and there were only people walking around the streets with weapons, fighting each other desperately.
Those who still have memories of their families will squat helplessly on the roadside, lighting up their family photos and tremblingly identifying them, "This... this is my daughter... This... this is me, this woman... Who is this woman? Why is she in my family photo?"
"My wife? I don't have a wife! I've never been married!... No, that's not right. I have a daughter... I've been married... She's my wife..."
His hysteria and helplessness were almost all expressed in his crying. Losing the memory of an important family member was not painful enough. The most painful thing was being the forgotten party.
In the distance, a child was chasing a man with a weapon, "Dad! Dad, don't go!"
The man turned around impatiently and pushed him to the ground, saying angrily, "Where is my son?! Get out of here!"
The child had no choice but to cry loudly. His mother had forgotten him, and his father had forgotten him. He simply could not survive in this chaotic city.
He could only get up while being pushed away and continue to follow his father, until his father's companions turned around and stared at him, "If you keep following us and we keep crying, I'll kill you!"
The child's crying stopped abruptly, and he choked and sobbed, watching his father gradually walk away in the background. The small figure looked so helpless in the flood of the street.
Zhong Mu, who was watching everything from a distance, sniffed and wiped away tears, "How pitiful... The people in this city are so miserable."
Li Mo glanced at Zhong Mu out of the corner of his eye, and thought that people should have emotional reactions at this time, such as shedding tears, so he also sniffled, but could not cry.
Zhong Mu stared at him speechlessly, then strode towards the child. "Brother Li Mo, do you know why Brother Xiu is in Twin City, Boss Ye is in Everlasting City, Mu He is in Falling Life City, and the two of us are in Forgotten City?"
Li Mo pondered, "Because I have been forgotten by important people."
Zhong Mu was surprised that he had figured it out so quickly! He had underestimated the evil god's intelligence.
"Um... you're right. Brother Xiu has forgotten you, but as for me..." Zhong Mu raised his hand and pointed at the child not far away who was pursing his lips and trying hard not to cry. "I'm the same as him."
Li Mo tilted his head slightly, puzzled. "What are you looking for in this town?"
Zhong Mu scratched his head. "I don't know if this sounds a bit literary. It's about finding yourself."
Li Mo, the artistic young monster, praised it highly, "It's not artistic at all, it's very well said."
Zhong Mu smiled and turned to meet the gaze of the child who had been standing there. The helpless and stubborn look in his eyes made many memories flash through Zhong Mu's mind in an instant, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Perhaps because he saw a familiar shadow in him, Zhong Mu couldn't help but walk towards him.
But when the child saw him coming, he thought he was going to kill or hit him, so he immediately widened his eyes, turned around and tried to run away in panic, but Zhong Mu rushed over and grabbed the short legs.
Zhong Mu tried to explain before the child started to scream, "I'm not a bad person! I won't kill you or hit you!"
The child didn't scream, but he pointed at Li Mo with a trembling hand, "What about him? He looks like he would eat children!"
This gloomy man is exactly like those weird things in horror stories! It scares children!
When pointed at, Li Mo smiled honestly, "I do eat children."
