…

A few days later, outside the disaster survivors’ gathering point.

“Colin, Colin, how old are you…” Children who seemed to be under ten gathered around Colin, curiously sizing up this fellow youngster.

“I don’t know, but I feel like I should be a bit older than this…”

Colin casually responded to the children while curiously looking around.

It seemed to be a corner of a former underground mall, but now it had been transformed into a gathering point for the survivors, bustling and somewhat like a marketplace…

People dressed in a chaotic manner, many faithful of different beliefs were seen passing by hurriedly.

Colin’s gaze swept across these believers of varied faiths—

Some instinct told him that these things should be hiding in dark corners like sewers, not openly scurrying above ground…

But for now, he didn’t feel a surge to deal with all these people.

His habit told him to investigate…

‘I… who am I? Why do I seem to understand so much at just a teenage age?’

Colin instinctively began to think.

The clearer memories he had were of recently gathering “scrap metal” to sell with some friends at a construction site, but various feelings indicated that it was a long time ago…

Not to mention his cognitive abilities, which seemed to be not that of a child.

‘Amnesia? It doesn’t quite feel like amnesia, more like waking up from a long sleep, mind a bit muddled, knowing, but somewhat unclear…’

Colin sat on a stool, properly pondering over things.

Meanwhile, a middle-aged man stood not far away, occasionally glancing at the young boy named Colin…

Although there was no solid evidence yet, he felt that his guess might not be wrong.

The one who had detonated all incoming abnormal beings along the way was this guy!

If it’s later confirmed, forging a good relationship in advance might mean they could all have a better life!

Being an Extraordinary One still held a high status currently…

This might be an opportunity.

Of course, if they were to proceed, they had to move to a better shelter, not this disaster survivor gathering controlled by the “Fuguang Church”…

The middle-aged man vaguely had the idea of sending Colin to a shelter in exchange for a better life.

Over the next few days, he continued observing, everything seemed normal so far.

The only time he was terrified was when some children, unable to stand Colin, banded together to trouble him and decided to teach him a lesson, while others were fine, the middle-aged man almost soared out of fear…

Fortunately, by the time he arrived at the scene, although everyone had been beaten up, with some seriously possibly having broken bones, thankfully no one died, which relieved him.

He then apologized and soothed them properly, but Colin showed no particular reaction, just saying it was nothing.

Back afterwards, the middle-aged man felt somewhat amused when he understood the reason. These kids wanted to teach Colin a lesson simply because his demeanor and looks were beyond his peers and many little girls liked him…

‘This old man seems to have some sly plans…’

The young Colin, looking at the middle-aged man, thought for a moment, but didn’t feel much malice, so he didn’t pay special attention.

At this moment, the things in his mind became clearer, and it felt like it wouldn’t take long to remember everything.

However, a vague feeling told him that once everything became clear, something very dangerous might happen…

“Ah, just take it one step at a time.”

Colin sighed, no longer racking his brain to recall, feeling like he wasn’t quite prepared.

In the following days, within the territory, Colin also participated in some activities. Everyone in the gathering had to engage in certain work, transporting things and building defensive fortifications, among others…

He also figured out various things; this place seemed to be a territory under something called the “Aurora Society.”

“It feels like something dirty that needs to be eradicated…”

Colin looked at a group not far away, collecting blood from catastrophes survivors, clothed in red and white, their pupils blood-red – the people of “Aurora Society,” and his brow furrowed slightly…

According to what they said, these were the upper class humans of the “Aurora Society.”

But looking at these “superior humans,” Colin couldn’t help but feel a sense of disgust rising within him…

And at his side, some children were even more terrified, not daring to look too much.

The blood donation this time didn’t require everyone to participate; as long as the quantity was sufficient, so, including Colin, the children were spared from this “responsibility” as much as possible.

It was at this moment Colin withdrew his gaze and looked somewhere else.

A middle-aged man, covering the blood-draw spot on his arm, pale-faced walked over to Colin, seeming to have something to say, yet appeared somewhat hesitant.

“What do you want to say, Uncle Cao Wen?” Colin asked curiously.

“There’s a chance tonight, we might leave, so don’t rush to sleep…”

“Okay.”

Seeing Colin did not refuse, the middle-aged man sighed in relief, if Colin had not agreed, he wouldn’t have been able to leave, after all, the main goal was to introduce him to the shelter.

Upon securing a connection, then he would take his group of several hundred people away from this assembly point…

When the blood donation ritual was over, the time approached evening, Colin, as usual, sat cross-legged in a small room, pondering…

Awaiting the action later in the night.

But then, a disturbance outside caught his attention.

He saw, on the broad street, people all coming out of their dwellings, gathering together, each holding a torch, all singing something loudly while marching toward a certain direction step by step…

Unsurprisingly, they probably intended to conduct some sort of ceremony.

Colin guessed if he wasn’t mistaken, that place seemed like a square or some other broad space.

Considering what the middle-aged man had said, he felt, most likely the other party wanted to take this time to leave the gathering point without attracting attention.

“Leaving like this isn’t ideal…” Colin rubbed his chin.

He always felt, perhaps it would be more appropriate to burn all these heretics before leaving…

But doing so would be very risky.

It seemed it might invite some extremely terrifying danger…

“Strange, I have such a good temper, and I usually don’t pick fights with others, why do I feel like there are enemies everywhere?” Colin’s thoughts were slightly diverted.

At that moment, he suddenly heard some noises…

He thought it should be that middle-aged man, but unexpectedly, a few children who usually had a better relationship with him came into the room, all tearfully.

“What’s wrong?” Colin scooted over to the side, making space and asked curiously.

“Doctor Sister has been chosen as a Fuguang Messenger…”

Upon hearing this, Colin’s eyes slightly narrowed, a flicker of fire seemed to stir deep within, but his face showed no emotion as he said:

“‘Fuguang Messenger’? Isn’t that a good thing for you?”

He had no clue what that was, but he seemed to remember that people here had some sort of faith to some extent.

“We, we don’t want Doctor Sister to become a messenger, if she does, she won’t recognize us anymore…”

While sniffling, they continued to speak intermittently, and Colin began to understand the situation.

Once someone becomes that “messenger,” they would become Extraordinary Ones, with greatly enhanced abilities, but their personality seemed to be completely altered, transforming into devout followers of the “Aurora Society’s” “Master.”

Eventually, they would completely forget about these children, and never see them again…

Listening to their description, a term popped up in Colin’s mind—

“God Descend Vessel.”

“These damn scoundrels…”

Suddenly, an indescribable loathing surged, Colin took a deep breath and said:

“Take me to them…”

Regardless of the risk, some things, indeed, need to be thoroughly burned!

In a flash of thought, a flame flickered deep within Colin’s eyes.
