Chapter 3: The Current Situation of No Name
"Not here, there's no one inside..."
"Sister Black Rabbit! Don't answer!"
Listening to the commotion coming from the basement, the corners of Su Nian's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that Black Rabbit lived up to the name of a silly rabbit.
No, that exposed them just like that? He hadn't even started asking yet?
He had thought he would need to use some verbal trickery to lure them out before the people inside would reveal themselves.
As expected, he had overestimated Black Rabbit, and he had also overestimated this group of children.
"Alright, the Demon King's attack outside is over, you can come out now."
Su Nian sighed and said it straight.
Hearing Su Nian's voice, which was not the voice of any Arcadia Cadre they were familiar with, they were also a bit cautious.
There was no response, and at this moment, even Black Rabbit kept her mouth shut.
But soon, they also reacted; they were already exposed, and holding their breath and staying silent was of no use.
So Black Rabbit asked directly.
"Who are you?"
After all, Black Rabbit was currently the oldest and most mature among this group of children, even if she did act silly sometimes.
"Hmm... I am a Subordinate God of Lady Shiroyasha, sent by Shiroyasha's order to come and take care of the survivors of No Name."
As expected, could even he not pronounce the name of Arcadia?
But he wasn't surprised; it would be strange if he could pronounce it.
Just listening to Su Nian's words, Black Rabbit and the others fell into silence, along with irrepressible sorrow.
After all, yesterday Arcadia was still fine, and everyone was still getting along happily together.
Yet in the blink of an eye, they had become survivors, and even the flag of Arcadia had been lost.
Black Rabbit also tried to say Arcadia, but the sound that came out was "No Name".
No wonder Uncle Keluoya Balong was so anxious to hide the children of the Community last night.
No wonder everyone was so anxious and hurried.
At this moment, Black Rabbit also believed Su Nian's words by fifty or sixty percent.
She was clear about the relationship between Shiroyasha and Arcadia; Shiroyasha had even run to Arcadia many times to abduct her.
Or she would work with Canary to tease her and make her wear very embarrassing outfits.
However, despite this, she could still feel that Shiroyasha mostly held good intentions toward her.
What's more, as a Moon Rabbit of the Little Garden Aristocrat, whose ears were linked to the Central Hub, she could easily distinguish lies.
After confirming that Su Nian was not lying, Black Rabbit opened the basement door and let Su Nian walk in.
"Um..."
Black Rabbit looked at Su Nian and was momentarily unable to speak; she had no idea what Su Nian's name was.
Seeing Black Rabbit's embarrassed look, Su Nian couldn't help but smile, then introduced himself.
"You can just call me Su Nian. I am a Planeswalker who just arrived in Little Garden and only recently became a Subordinate God of Lady Shiroyasha."
"And I don't know anything about Little Garden, so I'll have to rely on you to fill me in."
Su Nian shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly—who told him to be given such a task by his unreliable boss right after arriving in Little Garden?
"As for the situation outside, you still need to see it for yourselves."
Su Nian stopped Black Rabbit from asking further; after all, he "didn't know" what had happened to Arcadia now.
Then Su Nian stepped aside, leaving the space to Black Rabbit and the others.
After all, he didn't know how to comfort them in this situation, and logically speaking, he was just a bystander now.
Not to mention that this reality was something they could only slowly accept themselves.
As for him, both emotionally and rationally, there was nothing more he could do.
Emotionally, as someone who had just arrived in Little Garden, he didn't even know what had happened, so he could at most offer a few words of comfort.
Rationally, he was, after all, Shiroyasha's Subordinate God, and his stance was always on Shiroyasha's side; for now, Shiroyasha only asked him to take care of the remaining children.
And according to the original story, this care would likely at most just prevent them from falling into unnecessary life-threatening danger.
After all, in the original story, even with Shiroyasha's care, Black Rabbit and the others still couldn't avoid having to go fetch water to drink; they didn't even have freedom in their drinking water.
Not to mention that the current Arcadia was a detonated bomb, and countless former allies of Arcadia were keeping their eyes on this place.
What if he did something wrong and was considered by some big shots to be involved in the downfall of Arcadia?
Then the suspicion would truly be impossible to wash away.
At least until Shiroyasha finished her investigation and made a statement, he could only do this.
Acting as an uninformed guard.
"Thank you for the trouble, Lord Su Nian."
After Black Rabbit bowed to Su Nian, she hurriedly ran out of the basement, ran out of this only remaining intact building, and looked toward Arcadia's former territory.
The withered, lifeless land.
Scattered ruins, broken buildings, and the riverbed where the spiritual water from the Heaven's spiritual spring had flowed just yesterday.
Now it looked as if a great drought had occurred, with not a drop of water to be seen.
In the entire territory, apart from that villa just now, there was not a single intact place left.
Even that villa must have been preserved by the Arcadia Cadres at the cost of their lives, right?
For a moment, endless sorrow flooded into Black Rabbit's heart.
Is it like this again? The same scene as the Moon Shadow City from two hundred years ago appeared before her eyes once more.
Is she, Black Rabbit, some kind of jinx?
Two hundred years ago, to celebrate the birthday of her, who is a Son of God, almost all the Moon Rabbits in Little Garden came to Moon Shadow City to hold a grand Birth Festival.
Then, the Absolute Evil, Azi Dahaka, arrived, and the Moon Rabbit clan was completely wiped out, with only her surviving.
Now, her current home, Arcadia, has encountered the same fate.
Watching the somewhat dejected Black Rabbit, Su Nian sympathetically patted Black Rabbit on the shoulder, just to comfort her.
"Thank you, Lord Su Nian."
Black Rabbit quickly cheered up again; after all, she knew very well that she could not remain dejected forever.
Behind her, there were still the children of the Community who needed to be taken care of, and she had to be strong.
"As long as you've thought it through; after all, I don't even really understand what happened, so it's hard to say if I can be of any help."
"How could that be? Lord Su Nian being here is already a great help."
Black Rabbit said sincerely; although Su Nian was only here because of Shiroyasha's orders, this also represented one thing.
Shiroyasha and Arcadia's former allies had not abandoned Arcadia.
The current No Name was not that isolated and helpless.
It could be considered a shot in the arm for her.
