After the prayer ended, the family quietly enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. This would be Elsie's family's last dinner! By midnight, they would pick up their weapons and enter the dense forest, ready to engage in a bloody battle against the invaders. By dawn, they might become scattered pieces of flesh in the forest, or perhaps bodies hanging upside down on the village's main tree, subjected to scorn and insult by passersby. But who cared about all that? For Elsie's family, as long as they could vent all their dissatisfaction and resentment towards this sick world before their lives ended, their journey through this ugly world would not have been in vain!
There was still some time before the final battle. Elsie's younger sister was on guard outside, while Elsie and her other sister leaned against their mother, listening once again to their mother softly singing their favorite lullaby. Due to health issues, their mother's voice was even weaker than before, but this did not hinder Elsie and her sister from recalling the happy years of their childhood, when they grew up happily under the careful nurturing of their mother and younger sister.
How nice would it be if we could live in a world free from suffering and persecution, and live carefree and happy lives? Elsie and her sister couldn't help but think, as their mother's singing gradually faded away.
Elsie and her sister almost simultaneously screamed and sat up, their faces full of panic. They both realized that they had unknowingly fallen asleep to their mother's singing! This was a terrible thing because after midnight, they had to embark on a journey of death!
Elsie and her sister quickly reached for their crossbows, preparing to meet up with their mother and younger sister outside the cave. However, they soon realized that there was something wrong with the cave they were in. This was clearly not the same cave where they had lived for years! Compared to their usual residence, this cave was narrower and darker. Judging from the artificially carved marks on the walls, this cave was obviously not naturally formed. Sensing danger, Elsie and her sister immediately rushed out of the cave. But the moment they left the cave, they were immediately stunned by what they saw.
Elsie and her sister saw themselves standing at the top of a high mountain. Although there were also peaks and valleys at the foot of the mountain, it was clear from the trend of those peaks that they had already left the forest where they had lived for over twenty years. However, what caught their eyes more than the unfamiliar mountains ahead was the night sky above them, from which faint waves of heat descended. The sisters saw that the night sky above this mountain was filled with a dense network of cracks, intertwined like a spider's web. Within these fiery cracks, there were streams of molten material slowly surging, occasionally splashing countless sparks from the fissures of the fire lines, forming clusters of splendid fireworks in the night sky. These fireworks would turn into a piece of still-warm ash as they scattered. This was why Elsie and her sister felt warmth on the mountain peaks, where bone-chilling cold should have prevailed.
Confused by the strange sight in the night sky, Elsie and her sister began to doubt whether they were still in a dream. However, after reassuring each other with a few slaps, they quickly confirmed that they were not in a dream, but in reality. So, they ignored the strange surroundings and started shouting to find traces of their mother and younger sister. However, after shouting for a while, Elsie and her sister realized that apart from them, there seemed to be no other living creatures around in these mountains.
Feeling that something was wrong, Elsie and her sister decided to climb down the steep cliff to continue searching for their mother and younger sister's whereabouts. Just then, a leisurely voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere and called out to them. Then, the sisters saw a stranger in magnificent official attire walking out of the cave behind them. The sisters looked at the stranger in surprise because they had previously examined the cave thoroughly and were absolutely certain that there were no hidden doors or passages inside. So how did this strange man appear in the cave?
The mysterious man seemed to sense Elsie and her sister's confusion. He then kindly told them that he was a deity from a foreign realm, and his purpose in coming here was to rescue Elsie and her sister. Naturally, the sisters did not believe the man's nonsense because in their impression, all male creatures with masculine features were extremely untrustworthy extremists.
Seeing the skepticism in Elsie and her sister's eyes, the mysterious man responded by pointing to the bruises and scratches on their bodies, explaining calmly that these injuries were sustained when they escaped down the mountain in a survival pod. Although Elsie and her sister did not understand what the mysterious man meant, the waves of pain emanating from their bodies told them that their injuries were indeed serious.
With a slight smile, the mysterious man raised his hand towards Elsie and her sister, and two beams of light immediately enveloped them. Then, just as Elsie and her sister were alarmed by the mysterious man's sudden action, they noticed signs of relief from the pain in their bodies. Moreover, the scratches and bruises on their bodies were rapidly healing. Both of them couldn't help but rub their eyes vigorously, as they could hardly believe that everything they saw was actually happening.
Seeing the surprised expressions on Elsie and her sister's faces, the mysterious man pulled out a high-tech device and immediately played a series of images about Elsie's family life. According to the mysterious man's explanation, when Elsie's mother and younger sister fled into the deep mountains with Elsie and her sister, they discovered an underground river hidden deep in the cave where they were hiding. They concealed the location of the underground river, making it a secret escape route known only to the two of them, so that they could use it to escape when in danger.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Until a few days ago, when the unilateralist extremists hunting Elsie's family were about to discover the crucial moment of their hiding in the cave, the secret escape underground river finally came into play. That night, Elsie's mother and aunt, in order to protect Elsie and her sister, first secretly mixed a sedative drug into the sisters' dinner, and after they fell asleep, they placed them in an escape boat prepared long ago in the secret underground river. The boat carrying Elsie and her sister drifted along the underground river leading to the wilderness beyond the distant mountains, successfully evading the hunting party.
After Elsie and her sister left, their mother and aunt completely destroyed the cave where they had lived for more than twenty years. The commotion caused by the cave's destruction triggered a small-scale landslide, directly sending the hunting party approaching from below to their doom. Then, taking advantage of the hunting party's unsettled nerves, the mother and aunt launched an attack. Soon, the hunting party realized that the landslide caused by the explosion was the work of the mother and aunt. They quickly realized that the purpose of their extreme actions was because the two women knew they had no way out and thus chose to break through.
Considering the mother and aunt's long list of crimes and their audacity in attacking the hunting party, the group of extremist unilateralist supporters was furious. They quickly adjusted their tactics and launched a frenzied attack on Elsie's mother and aunt, causing the two to retreat step by step despite their familiarity with the surrounding terrain and their brief skirmish with the wolves below.
Finally, forced to retreat to the mountaintop, the mother and aunt supported each other's battered bodies, struggling to climb to the summit and leaning against a large tree growing there, continuing to resist the enemy attacking from below. However, the final outcome saw no reversals, and the mother and aunt, with no way out, were killed on the spot by the hunting party that had climbed all the way to the mountaintop, dying under that large tree together.
While cleaning up the battlefield after killing Elsie's mother and aunt, the hunting party unexpectedly found a very small grave on the other side of the tree where the mother and aunt had defended. The fanatical hunting party thoughtlessly dug open the grave and found inside it two very small skeletons. Due to the high humidity on the mountaintop, these two skeletons had already become incomplete due to years of erosion. Nevertheless, the hunting party immediately realized that these two skeletons were the twin sisters born to the mother years ago. It seemed that shortly after Elsie's mother and aunt fled into the mountains, these extremely evil and severely violative twins had already been condemned by heaven and were buried by their mother's own hands on the summit of this mountain.
No wonder they wanted to die here, they wanted to die with their children! Hmph! Two extremely wicked bitches!
None of the hunting party present showed disgust for the behavior of the mother and aunt dying in front of the twin grave representing evil and filth. They began to mock and curse the four corpses on the ground, attempting to curse them even after death.
However, what these extremists could not imagine was that the two baby skeletons buried under the tree were actually dug up by the mother and aunt more than twenty years ago from the village cemetery and deliberately buried here. The reason they did this was to disrupt people's sight at a critical moment, making people mistakenly believe that Elsie and her sister had already died. In this way, the mother and aunt could completely disappear by taking all the blame upon themselves, allowing Elsie and her sister to live safely in a remote mountain somewhere in the world, never to be hunted again.
Thus, the hunting party ended their hunt for Elsie's family. The bodies of the mother and aunt, as well as the two baby skeletons, were taken away by the hunting party and made into specimens, becoming exhibits circulated and cursed by people in different cities. The true Elsie sisters finally escaped the pursuit of extremist unilateralist extremists under the protection of their mother and aunt, completely breaking away from that diseased world.
The mysterious man's provided images ended here. Elsie's sisters cried helplessly while calling out the names of their mother and aunt. After a while, Elsie's elder sister looked up, her eyes full of resentment as she questioned the mysterious man, asking if he was truly a god, then why couldn't he save both their sisters and their mother and aunt?
The mysterious man shook his head helplessly, saying that it was the will of heaven. Plus, Elsie's sisters were the beings hiding great talents, so he could only save the two sisters according to the will. The mysterious man's reply was very clear, but Elsie's sisters still could not accept the tragic fate of their mother and aunt's bodies being endlessly tormented by extremist elements. Therefore, Elsie's elder sister asked the mysterious man to take them back to the village because they wanted to go back and avenge their mother and aunt. Then, they would storm into the exhibition hall in the big city, retrieve the remains of their mother and aunt, and re-bury them so that their souls could rest in peace.
However, the mysterious man refused to help Elsie's sisters. Then, pointing to the cracks in the night sky hidden with magma rolling, he explained that he would not help Elsie's sisters because this extreme and diseased world was heading towards destruction. If Elsie's sisters harbored resentment towards that world's doom, it would be better to regard this catastrophe as a gift from the heavens, quietly enjoying the wailing of this world before its destruction. Then, the mysterious man carefully explained to Elsie's sisters why their world was heading towards destruction and what it would become after its destruction.
Elsie's sisters had never accepted such complex information and did not quite understand most of what the mysterious man said. However, this did not prevent them from being attracted by what the mysterious man introduced. This made the two sisters not only not feel sorry for the destruction of this world, but instead felt very happy about it. Because the world's destruction meant that the perpetrators who killed their mother and aunt would all be exterminated, and it also meant that Elsie's sisters would no longer have any connection with this world. The diseased shackles that had bound them for more than twenty years would also be completely removed when this world was destroyed.
