Amidst the ruins filled with wreckage, Qiu, whose body has been mostly devoured, struggles relentlessly.
Black blood flowed continuously from the incision, and black threads kept trying to stitch the damaged flesh back together.
But blood still gushed from both cuts, and his life force was rapidly draining away with the blood.
"[Autumn]... Stop clinging to this body, hurry up and get out, or your very essence will die..."
A small flower grew beside him, and the voice of "Spring," tinged with sobs, reached his ears.
But Qiu didn't listen at all and continued to struggle to restore her body.
As the primal power continued to pour in, his already pale body began to crumble due to its corrosive power.
"No--! ! ! !"
[Autumn] looked up to the sky and roared, running around the ruins like a madman.
"Give me my body! Give me my body! I need to fix my body! I can't let this body die!"
But now, there are no living people left.
Like a headless fly, he kept crashing into the damaged buildings and structures.
As he continued to collide with the objects, not only did his body begin to break apart, but even the black insects surrounding him began to gradually decrease in number.
Finally, unable to even move, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The taut black lines began to loosen, and the connected chunks of meat broke apart again, looking as if they might fall apart at any moment.
【Qiu】 used her head to support herself on the ground, slowly moving again and again, leaving a strange carpet of dark red blood on the ground.
The photograph drifted out from between his pieces of flesh, stained with blood.
[Qiu] paused in her movement, staring at the photo for a moment.
It strained, bending over, trying to pick it up with its mouth.
However, his body was already exhausted and he couldn't even complete this simple movement.
The flowing blood gradually covered the photo until Qiu could no longer see the person in it.
[Qiu] stopped what he was doing, looked at the photo, and wanted to wipe it clean, but he couldn't do it because he no longer had hands.
“Rennie…”
His lifeless pupils began to slowly dilate, and tears welled up in his eyes and slid down from the corners of his eyes.
Tears fell onto the photograph, washing away the black blood and revealing that gentle and beautiful face.
In a daze, Qiu's memories were pulled back to more than a hundred years ago, to the time when she was just born.
...
He had very little recollection of his own background.
All I remember is that after a cataclysmic explosion, I regained consciousness, even though I had no body.
Relying on his inhuman instincts, he found the first village he encountered.
Perhaps it was instinct, but his first reaction upon encountering a person was to possess them. Fortunately, he was lucky; in an era before superhumans, his body was already quite good.
He tested his abilities while slaughtering the people of the village.
In less than a night, more than two hundred people were killed, and Qiu also gained a basic understanding of her own abilities.
In the following days, he was alone and did not meet anyone, but his health deteriorated day by day.
Due to its unique abilities, the virus it generates can also infect this physical body.
Just before his body was on the verge of death from illness, he finally encountered humans.
But to my dismay, I encountered a very frail woman!
The woman's first reaction upon meeting Qiu was to run up to him while wearing a mask.
"Sir, your illness is too serious! Come inside quickly, I'll treat you!"
At that time, Qiu did not understand human language, but she also did not intend to possess the other person. Qiu could understand that the woman seemed to be expressing goodwill.
bona fide……
This is the first time I've felt autumn.
After being brought into the house, the girl forced Qiu to lie down, while she busied herself doing something else.
[Qiu] only knew that her body had improved somewhat under the care of this woman.
"Phew... It's almost done. Here, put on your mask."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"..."
"gentlemen?"
After trying for a moment, the woman seemed to realize that Qiu couldn't speak, so she naturally assumed he was a fool.
"Oh, how pitiful. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a name."
My name is Renee...
"You... let's call you Rachel. I don't know why, but seeing you reminds me of autumn."
Renee, Rachel, these are the first words that 【秋】 learned.
In the days that followed, Renee treated Qiu every day, fed him, and provided him with a place to stay.
In my spare time, I also teach him to speak.
Perhaps due to her special talent as one of the Five Calamities, Qiu learned the language in just a few weeks.
He also needed to know that Renee was a doctor, but because her clinic was in a rather remote location, few people visited her.
"Couldn't you have opened the shop in a more populated area...?"
"Hmm, that's strange. Why do you always sound like you're about to die when you talk?"
"Sigh, it's all because we don't have money."
Qiu remembered this reason, so the next day he went to the surrounding villages and infected all the people there with the plague.
As a result, Renee's hospital finally became very popular, and she earned more and more money every day.
But Qiu noticed that she was smiling less and less.
