Chapter 509

"Tell me your story? How did you end up there?"

"I was 'taken in' when I was a kid."

POI-2408-351 took a big gulp of water, but her posture was strange, and quite a lot of water flowed down her chin, wetting the white prison uniform on her body.

"'Taken in', is it?"

"Yeah."

The girl crumpled the plastic water bottle into a piece, and while speaking, gritted her teeth, and crumpled that poor plastic piece into a ball of meaningless trash.

"All sorts of shit happened in that dark room, just nothing good. However, if they hadn't taken me in, I would have starved to death long ago."

When saying the last sentence, she shrugged.

Her emotions were complex, like organs grown together due to illness, making it difficult for Charlotte to clearly peel them apart for a moment.

But no matter how you analyzed it.

In the process of her growing up, she was unrelated to being cared for or looked after, let alone love.

"They made you participate in gladiatorial combat, right?"

The girl nodded, changed to a tone, as if singing a hymn:

"Salute to 'Orok'."

After speaking, she spat hard, as if there was sand in her mouth.

"Orok", huh...

Charlotte knew the name of this person.

Following her thoughts, the file of "Orok" appeared on the screen.

【Name: Orok】

【Description:】

【"Orok", one of the four saints of "Flesh", is related to strength, war, violence, wildness, hunting, and two seemingly completely opposite things—loyalty and betrayal.】

【It has turned into a hundred-meter giant, now buried underground, and is waiting for the day of awakening.】

【Orok is usually depicted as a tall, muscular giant with a belt and one eye.】

【Orok's symbols include a double-headed axe, a one-eyed skull, a hunting spear, broken bones, clenched fists, and a robust elephant.】

"'Flesh', Saint... this sounds like Aeons and Emanators, but the name 'Flesh' doesn't sound like a good god."

"Look at what His followers do, building a beast arena underground, letting humans kill each other inside—what kind of decent god can this be?"

"I'm more likely to associate it with 'Propagation', and I don't know if 'Flesh' is divinity or some supreme divinity."

"This is the Foundation's world; on a tiny planet, a bunch of divinities and supreme divinities can hold a party."

Silently lowering her vigilance toward the girl in her heart, Charlotte asked a question she already knew the answer to:

"So, you're not a believer anymore?"

The girl seemed to have heard a joke, then sneered:

"How do you say it in your words... fuck it."

Charlotte was silent for a while and continued to ask:

"Is it better to be controlled by them?"

"Them? Aren't you also a jailer?" The girl asked back.

Charlotte took a deep breath; she suddenly felt that the stool in the armored vehicle was simply not for people to sit on.

After adjusting her posture several times, she admitted:

"I think so. Then, is it better to be with us?"

"A bit boring. I can only exercise by myself and read the books they allow me to read." The girl said, "But it is indeed better to be with you guys."

Charlotte nodded:

"By the way, my name is Charlotte."

"Lucretia—a hard name to pronounce... if you want, just call me Lucy."

Charlotte smiled proudly and said:

"Then I'll call you Lucy."

March 7th's background is indeed not simple, I don't know how the copywriting team set it up...

Come to think of it, the current members of the train group, except for Uncle Yang who has Honkai Impact 3rd as a background, and Dan Heng whose background has been revealed for the most part, the others seem to be covered in a layer of mist:

Himeko is slightly clearer, but there are also many unknowns;

March 7th's identity is very noble;

The protagonist has a connection with Kafka;

And the mysterious creature Pom-Pom...

I don't know if the settings of the entire train group can be fully released when the 2. X version comes out.

Of course, Stellarons, Aeons, etc., just wait slowly.

This kind of foundation-like setting, no matter what, must be matched with an intense climax.
