"This is the guard station. Those working here are young demons with some fighting ability... According to your human classification, they are probably around level 4, right?"

"I'm sorry, I don't seem to have any ability in combat... I don't know much about these things."

Even without his memories, Aarons knew very well whether he had the ability to fight.

There was only an extremely weak breath flowing in his body, which could not be used for fighting at all - it couldn't even strengthen his physical fitness.

"It's okay. In fact, most demons only have the strength to protect themselves. Humans have a much longer lifespan than us, so it's normal for them to be a little weaker."

Aarons always felt that he seemed to care about this matter a lot in the past, but after listening to Locke's words, he did not continue to dwell on it.

——My own weakness is not a flaw or abnormality, it is just “normal”.

"Okay, I see you're exhausted from walking so much, so go inside and rest for a while."

After being welcomed rather warmly into the guard station's cabin, Aarons immediately received an even warmer welcome.

Although this house made of earth, stones and thatch was not very big, there were seven tall and strong demons guarding it - and as soon as they saw Aarons, they immediately surrounded him out of curiosity.

“Locke! Is this the human brother you mentioned before? I heard that he was brought back by the Mist Phantom Star… Wow, she’s here too!”

"Stop kidding... Let me introduce you. These are the official members of the security team. And this human who was rescued... is her brother, Aarons."

"What? You are not kidding... Oh, sorry, I said too much. They are brother and sister, right? They are brother and sister..."

Yalu just glared at these people with a droopy face, and these young demons, who were basically a head taller than Aarons, immediately shrank back.

And taking this opportunity, Aarons also took a closer look at these people - although the shapes of their facial bones, horns and ears were slightly different, including Locke, these young demons, four men and four women, did not look much different from humans.

They are actually just ordinary people like me.

"Because Aarons is now being taken care of by Yalu...his sister, the manager asked him to come and learn about our situation first. Also, his memory disappeared when he was injured before, and I don't know if it can be restored."

"That's indeed a bit pitiful... Brother Aarons, I hope you can recover your memory as soon as possible. If you need anything, those of us who have nothing else to do can help."

A demon woman with chestnut curly hair and straight horns on her head took the initiative to greet Aarons, and Aarons nodded politely without saying much.

"He just recovered not long ago, let him rest for a while. Kevin, please bring me a stool."

"Locke, have you been to the manager just now? What did she say about the barrier?"

"...He can hold on for a while, but you know that with the manager's current condition, it wouldn't be surprising if he suddenly died at any time."

The manager who had burned herself for nearly a thousand years was still supporting the barrier outside the shelter alone. If her lifespan ran out, the demons here would lose their only protection.

It would be fine if they just lost their shelter, but the problem is that there are humans with bad intentions outside who are eyeing them covetously... Even if the individual strength of the demons is slightly stronger than that of humans, they do not have human technology.

Because the humans outside even have some special weapons that can evaporate a city in an instant——

"Well……"

When he thought of this, Aarons suddenly felt dizzy. Fortunately, he was leaning on a rough wooden chair, so he did not fall to the ground.

My consciousness seemed to have touched some kind of forbidden zone and I could no longer think further.

"Brother, your spirit has not yet healed, don't force it."

"You're still mentally wounded... I see."

The memories that I lost may have just been sealed by my injured brain. Maybe I only need an opportunity to recover my original memories.

But...do I really need to remember those things?

"In short, we have been relying on managers for too long here. We should learn to find a way out on our own."

"Most people in the village support this idea...but we can't deal with those humans outside just by ourselves..."

"Alas... there are regular troops stationed outside. Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"

Aarons was not very clear about what the problem was here, but he could hear from the conversation between Locke and others that the demons here were actually quite confused about the future.

This tribe has been hiding here for a thousand years, and the younger generation would certainly want to go out and take a look... but the humans outside regard them as expensive prey.

"Please wait a moment. I have a question... I am also a human being. Aren't you afraid of me?"

"What are you talking about, brother Aarons? Those bad guys outside are not the same as you. Wu... Since your sister is so close to you, it means you are a trustworthy person."

"That's right."

Although demons and humans were once mortal enemies, the young demons who were born and raised in this isolated place do not have excessive hatred or stereotyped negative views of humans.

They are very smart and rational, and do not attribute the behavior of a few evil people to the other party's entire race - this may be just because they still yearn for the outside world and do not want to imagine the outside world to be so cruel.

And Aarons didn't want to let them down.

"I might be able to help with what you're talking about...but I don't know what I can do."

"Oh, by the way, you are also a human living outside... But it must be very inconvenient without your memories, right? You should rest here for a while and talk about it after you recover."

"These are things we should do by ourselves. It doesn't matter if we don't help."

After listening to the words of these young demons, Aarons also understood one thing.

——Their essence is the same as mine, they are just mortals pursuing the future.

"I understand... Yalu, what should I do to restore my memory as soon as possible?"

"If I force myself to recover, I might go crazy. I can only wait for the right opportunity."

"Then let's do what we can first."

Although he had no memories, Aarons still retained an extremely firm belief in his heart.

If you want to prove that your existence is meaningful... you must do something.
