Men in black cloaks and crow masks brought black raincoats for the boys and yellow ones for the girls. Alp wore a black cloak and black boots as he looked around the room. The room was old but had many, many shelves filled with bottles of liquids in different colors and each one had a sticker with a shape on it. One was a snake, one was fire and one was empty with no symbol but had a silver liquid in it.

“Go to the orphanage gate,”

said a deep voice of one of the men in black cloaks and crow masks. The children filed towards the gate in a row. The night sky was pitch black and all that could be heard were crows, crickets and the strong wind. As they arrived, Mrs. Aristeo stepped forward with her hands behind her back adjusting her gaze for a moment and looking at the children with a quick glance but suddenly stopping as she looked into Alp’s eyes. “Again!” .....

Why is this look again?

..... Alp thinks to himself nervously, he also does not look away but looks into her eyes as deeply as if he wants to know the secret of this look again... Is it really because he is ugly like she said? He is not ugly? Rather, he is considered handsome for a child of 12 years old, with smooth dark green hair and sharp yellow eyes that are not very sharp, but rather innocent like the eyes of every child, and white skin and a sculpted nose... Then just like that, Mrs. Aristo pulls out of her pocket a black key with a small silver jewel on top, puts it in the gate opening and the gates open with an annoying and loud creaking sound. Alp covers his ears because of the loud sound, he has sharp and abnormal hearing, so a sound like this would be hell for him, especially if it was from a gate and not from music or maybe a guitar...

Remember, bring the things written in the papers and whoever returns alive three times with the mentioned things will be promoted to things that he will like, believe me

. Mrs. Aristo says with a cold smile and a sharp tone

All the kids there immediately start running towards the road that leads to the lower city and Alp does the same and the sound that dominates the road is the sound of shoes hitting the fallen leaves and dirt and stones...

Hey what do you think about working as a team in the forest we can cooperate and bring things quickly and live

... Kurotobi suddenly says who came silently from behind Alp. Alp shouts suddenly then turns while they are running and looks at him sharply and says with annoyance:

You again? Aren't you going to leave my ass alone now?

... Kurotobi laughs lightly then looks at him sarcastically and with a wide smile...

Yes, me again. Did you miss me?

Kurotobi says sarcastically...

No. Alp says briefly and his gaze returns to the road.

.. Well what do you think of the idea? Kurotobi says with a smile...

Cooperation? And a team ha? Alp says thinking

. No. I don't want to. How do I know you're useful?Maybe you just want to take advantage behind my back? Alp says mocking the idea

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

...Hey why don't you trust me for your information I have abilities too and a "trump card"

. Kurotobi says trying to convince him. And the lower city is now visible. A trump card?

Alp repeats his words again and says:

No, get away from me and leave me alone. Go to someone else as long as you have this trump card.

Then Alp starts running faster until he enters the lower city and the dim city lights are clear, the old and dirty buildings and the thieves and the sound of hitting is what fills the place and at this point the children disperse but Alp notices a girl wearing a yellow coat running fast and very fast... Wow she is fast... Alp thinks to himself while walking and exploring the place and passes through the alley and he takes out the paper on which is written what he must bring and where it is and starts reading: Bring file number 33 it is in the warehouse under a giant and wide tree with green leaves. After exiting the lower city you will find the forest where the warehouse is located... Alp completes reading then says sarcastically:

What is this stupidity all the trees have green leaves!!!!!

..... Hmm file number 33... He sighs then says again while holding a necklace hanging around his neck that was under his black coat and feels what is engraved on it:

I have to do it and find it because I still have goals to achieve... Bella and Mako... Wait for me

... Then he puts it back in its place And he quickly runs and he can see the thieves and the robberies that are taking place in the city normally and the gangs gathered. Of course this is normal because no one sets laws here. This city has no police, but the police do not want to enter it to avoid problems. This city is inhabited by gangs and criminals to do everything illegal here with ease. There are those who were born here and got used to living here. Of course, things here are the opposite of the upper city where the ruling family is located... Alp heads towards a straight road and then finds a large building with lights and the sounds of a family from the inside. It looks like a bar... He notices a girl wearing a yellow coat and long black hair coming out of there and heading in a certain direction...

Did she ask who is inside or does she know the way? Should I just follow her? No, no, if I really want to get out of here, I have to find out everything myself

. Alp says to himself then grabs the iron door handle and opens it. It was heavy and needed strength to open it. As soon as he opens it, he sees a large place with a group of men and women whose appearances do not suggest good. They all seem to be gangs or criminals, that is, the well-known faces of the lower city. A group is drinking and playing cards and a group is playing with knives and they are all looking at him with strange looks, one of pleasure and one of annoyance. Alp advances, ignoring all the looks at him and goes to the seller or the owner of the shop there. He sits on one of the seats and looks at the man’s wide body and he is wearing a red shirt and a black apron that looks very long and he has brown hair. As soon as he turns, he looks at the small body sitting in the seat in front of him.

“Are you looking for the Darashodash Forest?”

The man says in a deep voice and his sharp brown eyes and his thick beard but not long, his body is muscular and his hands are full of veins. He looks like he is 35 or 37 years old.

Yes

... Alp says confidently as he looks at his answer and notices a man also sitting in a chair a few centimeters away from him and his head is on the table and he is wearing a black hat and his hair is light green and he has a tan complexion... Then he turns his gaze back to the owner of the shop to speak. The owner of the shop says:

“Take the left road and continue straight until you reach the end of the city and after you go out you will find an empty field there you will find the forest, the forest...”

The man says and He pours a glass of grape juice, it's definitely wine, then places it in front of Alp, and surprisingly, he drinks it all, which surprises the shopkeeper, who suddenly says:

"This drink is not for children."

Alp smiles as he gets up from the seat and says:

"You poured it for me, but I can also tell the difference between wine and expired grape juice, I knew that from the smell before I drank, and also... expired things become like poison, but don't worry... I have immunity to these things."

Alp then leaves the place, leaving the shopkeeper surprised, who says with a smile:

"Interesting kid, and he seems smart too... What do you think, Kenny?"

Then the man with light green hair and a black hat raises his head, his name is Kenny, and says:

"Yes, I heard that... Maybe who knows....."
