Rules of Delta: Starting with the Lost Dam

"My companions, they just wanted to go back, what's wrong with that?"

The man's tone was full of incomprehension and anger.

"Why, why did you kill them?"

He stared intently at Said, wanting an answer.

however.

Said simply looked at him quietly without saying anything.

He saw humiliation in those eyes!

Recalling the gradually blurring, fading figure in his memory, the uncle suddenly lost control of his emotions and roared.

"Say it!"

"Why?!"

Looking at the uncle roaring in front of me with heartbreaking fury.

A flicker of pity crossed Said's eyes.

He saw himself in this operative when he first joined the army.

Full of curiosity, innocent, and kind.

But where is this place?

It is a battlefield devoured by desire and greed!

These people, who had never experienced death and the cruelty of war, were thrown into this real battlefield.

They were like helpless little white rabbits, thrown into a pack of wolves.

If they want to survive, they must learn how to kill.

If they want to protect their homeland, they must take up arms and fight.

Here, the things children hold in their hands are not books or toys, but knives and guns!

War is cruel.

It won't show mercy just because you're kind and naive.

Here, only the strong can survive.

Truth lies only within the range of cannons!

Good and evil are only a matter of size!

"Because you are rats, fallen from the sky, invaders who plunder our wealth!"

This time, Said did not hesitate and answered directly, responding to the poor people who were lost in this place.

"Just like those soldiers from the Hafk Company!"

"Haha."

It seems that a satisfactory answer was received.

The man slumped to the ground, utterly drained, his eyes vacant, as if he had lost all hope in life, and muttered to himself:

"Is that so?"

"Alright then."

"At least, it still has some meaning."

He looked up at the sky, tears streaming down his face.

Why is he crying?

He didn't know either.

He couldn't even remember his home.

The new memories in his mind were constantly squeezing out his fragmented memories.

As the sun set, its afterglow shone on his face.

He felt a peace he had never known before.

And so it went between the two of them.

One sitting, one standing.

Silence fell.

Hearing this from the corner, Mai Xiaowen turned around and bumped into Ye Yan, who had come looking for her. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

She was about to say something when Ye Yan pulled her away.

"Leave first, then we'll talk."

"..."

Mai Xiaowen looked at Ye Yan, stared at her hand that was being held, opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything and let Ye Yan lead her away.

"..."

"Gone."

Said glanced around the corner, seemingly lost in thought.

"yes"

The man nodded.

Silence fell again.

A long time passed.

He broke the silence first, questioning Said.

"You recognized me at first glance, didn't you?"

Said did not answer.

The uncle seemed used to his silence and continued talking to himself:

"Then why didn't you expose me?"

"Aren't you afraid..."

"I ate them?"

The voice just fell.

A faint black mist appeared around the uncle, and his previously somewhat decadent demeanor changed drastically. He slowly raised his head, revealing his blood-red and eerie eyes, as if he had become a completely different person.

"Ruin your plans?"

"I know."

Looking at the silent Said, the uncle smiled.

"What are you thinking?"

What do you want to do?

"But it's no use, the world is already broken!"

"It's completely broken!"

The man suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, a laugh filled with madness and despair.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He stared intently at Said, trying to see a trace of sadness or wavering in the other's eyes.

However, no.

Those eyes held nothing but unwavering determination, devoid of any coldness.

"Only by leaving this distorted world can we survive, can we live like human beings!"

The man roared, as if he wanted to vent all the pain and despair in his heart.

"You can leave!"

"I have no intention of leaving my hometown; this is my home."

Said spoke, his voice steady and firm, without the slightest wavering.

"Even if it means destruction, I will perish with this place."

"Really?"

The man's eyes became vacant, and his gaze shifted from Said to the setting sun in the distance.

"Home!"

"I'm so envious. I don't even remember what my home is like anymore."

As he finished speaking, his voice became low and hoarse, filled with endless sorrow and longing.

"Fallen leaves return to their roots."

Said looked at the man in front of him, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

once.

He came to this land full of hope, wanting to do something for his country.

However, this land completely destroyed the kindness and innocence in their hearts.

They were like lab rats, thrown into a huge experimental field.

Here, they learned to kill, to deceive, and to survive in a world filled with death and despair.

They lost their original selves and became someone else.

A puppet driven by desire and greed.

He hated this version of himself.
