The person died, but nobody cared.
Soon, a guard with a happy smile came over, dragged the body away, and didn't even glance at the little girl.
"What...what's going on?"
Kro's forehead was covered in sweat; this scene had a tremendous impact on him.
The uniform smiles and the zombie-like bodies deeply shocked him.
Of course, it's negative.
Kuro thought for a moment, then walked over. Before he could finish speaking, Molly grabbed a clod of dirt and hysterically threw it at him.
"Get out of my way, Navy!"
Molly wiped away her tears. "I don't need you, I don't need you, and you're not trustworthy!"
Lida then walked over and handed her backpack to the little girl; it was full of snacks.
Molly stared blankly at the little girl who looked about her age, then looked at the bag.
Lida took a bread out of her bag, tore open the packaging, and handed it to her. "It smells very good and is very soft. Want a bite?"
It smells so good...
It smells wonderful.
Molly sniffed and swallowed hard.
"Hey... you'll get hungry if you don't eat anything."
Lida held the bread to her lips, and Molly finally couldn't resist taking a small lick. With just that one bite, she couldn't control herself and snatched the bread from Lida, wolfing it down.
"Give me some fruit, or I'll choke." Lida took out another piece of fruit.
This time Molly didn't refuse. After eating the bread, she ate the fruit and then burst into tears.
She just sat there, her dusty little face covered in tears, but the people walking around nearby and the guards standing at the door seemed not to hear her, standing there like a doll.
"Help...help me."
Molly, her eyes already red and swollen, grabbed Lida's hand as if it were her last lifeline. "Please, help me, please help me!"
Kuro took a puff of his cigar, looked around, and said, "We are the Navy, of course we will help civilians, but could you tell me the specifics? What exactly is wrong with this Morgani?"
"Morgati..."
Upon hearing those four words, Molly visibly shuddered, instinctively hugging herself and trembling, unable to utter a word for a long time.
"Morgati is the land of demons. I am not a resident here. I come from a nearby town. Half a month ago, my life was still... very happy. My parents said they would take me to Morgati to play, and I was very happy."
Molly's eyes glazed over with fear: "I remember it clearly. That evening, I was sick and fell asleep in my father's arms. The Amusement Park Prince had just performed in his stage play."
"Later, everything changed. When I woke up, my parents wanted to settle in Morgat. I was so happy. I thought I could live in this fairytale kingdom, but it wasn't like that at all!"
“My parents admired Prince Amusement very much, so they would obey his orders. When we moved here, the guards gave us some pills and told us that if we took them, we could become citizens of Morgat. My parents took them without any doubt. I was sick at the time, so I just held the pill in my mouth, and then... and then my parents came here with very happy smiles on their faces.”
“The terrible thing happened. People who took the pills became oblivious to everything except happiness, and they went to work in those factories every day until very late.”
"They make everything in the factory. The toys and handicrafts you see are all made by the people here, bit by bit! This is the dark side of Morgati! This is it! The people here are expendable. Every day, each person is given two pills called 'Happiness Pills.' When their manpower is exhausted, death is imminent. What fairy tales, what happiness, it's all fake, fake!!!"
Upon hearing this, Kuro narrowed his eyes and looked at the crowd, some of whom were moving around.
This wasteland, besides the factory, also has wastewater discharged from it, almost forming a pond.
But some people seemed completely unconcerned, taking off their clothes and entering the wastewater pond, revealing relaxed smiles as if they were soaking in a hot spring.
Some people took off their clothes at home and casually entered a tattered cardboard box, as if they were taking a bath.
Did he mistake that for a bathhouse?
"I made some cakes, come and eat!"
A man caught a giant cockroach, as long as his arm, from somewhere and placed it on a rock. A group of people gathered around.
"I'll go first."
He picked up a stick from somewhere and, as if using it as a cake knife, hit the cockroach with it.
"Haha, your cake is really hard. Your skills are not good."
Another person picked up a stick and started hitting the cockroach.
Amidst the laughter and commotion, the people picked up whatever was around them—sticks, stones, or simply their bare hands—and repeatedly struck the cockroaches, beating them until they were bloody and mangled, twitching in pain.
The cockroach juice and chunks of meat that had been spilled were snatched up by these people, who all wore strange and eerie smiles as they put the disgusting stuff into their mouths as if they were eating some kind of delicacy.
Kuro exhaled a smoke ring with a grim expression, looking towards the gleaming royal palace. "You son of a bitch... a dystopia?!"
These people are clearly seeing hallucinations.
After taking that pill, their world completely changed. Wastewater pools were turned into hot springs, cardboard boxes into bathrooms, and cockroaches, such filthy creatures, were treated like delicious cakes.
On the contrary, the food that humans can eat...
Kuro looked at the buns that were mixed with the dirt.
It was probably mistaken for something dirty.
The people here are completely confused.
poison...
This is poison.
Kro adjusted his glasses and asked, "Didn't you ask the nearby navy for help? It's so lively here, surely the navy will come."
"navy..."
Molly's face grew even more bitter. "Some of the navy personnel were infected by Prince Amusement and completely ignored me, while some navy personnel were not infected, but... but they were killed by them."
"Alright, we have the evidence."
Kuro said, "Assassinating a Marine is one crime, and controlling someone with poison is another. We can go and cause him trouble."
With that, Kuro turned and walked towards the castle.
"Don't go, please don't go!"
Molly cried out, "You are good people, don't go, people will die. You should leave quickly. You haven't been affected, but the other marines have definitely been. You defeated Kaishao, and the others will be here soon. Run away, run quickly, you can't outnumber them."
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke, patted Molly's head, and smiled, "We're the Navy, and the Navy is mostly about justice, you know. Don't worry, I'll go find that Prince of Amusement and have him resolve this situation."
