Naxi returned home alone.

Wine bottles, dirty clothes, and garbage squeezed the already not spacious space into an extremely small space.

The man dejectedly took out a bottle of brandy from the cabinet, leaned directly on the sofa with cotton exposed, and poured the drink into his mouth. His eyes were so dark that people not only doubted whether the world in his eyes was only gray.

He is an excellent actor, and no one can connect him now with the calm man who was just in front of Hewen.

It is possible that whether he is the decadent man full of despair now or the guy who has been pretending to be an alcoholic and secretly planning to expose the truth of the world, he is the real him.

But now this man with two faces uses himself as bait just to get a glimpse of the truth behind the beautiful appearance.

He had the opportunity to escape more than once. Did Naxi never realize the danger after the truth? Didn't he know that after Elend disappeared, his best choice was to pretend that he didn't know anything?

He rushed towards the whirlpool that could tear his body into several pieces without hesitation, and also took the initiative to perform many actions that amounted to provocation.

There is no way out of Avalon.

Once you come here, it is impossible to go back to the Kingdom of Mist. Of course, no one can long for that dark world, where monsters are rampant, souls always disappear for no reason, and evil and powerful souls torture and enslave

A weak and kind soul.

It's warm, bright, and safe here, while it's dark, damp, and dangerous outside.

But even if the outside world is dark, Naxi can still tell the difference between gray and gray, but in Avalon, he is surrounded by complete darkness, and he can't see any difference. This is not a utopia, but a prison cell.

, and other prisoners in this prison were blindfolded, had their tongues cut out, and their eardrums pierced, making them completely unable to communicate.

Even if there are normal people, among this group of lunatics, they must carefully hide their true inner thoughts. If normal people want to communicate with each other about topics that will scare the lunatics, they have to avoid them, and they

They didn't even dare to communicate directly with words, because this place was filled with magical powers that were like surveillance devices.

Moreover, the people who control the surveillance devices are all lunatics. If he reveals that he is a normal person when communicating with other people, he will be caught by the lunatics and tied to a pillar for trial.

He has never been an adventurous person, but in this environment, he was already on the verge of collapse. Life and death are not that important. He died once anyway, and his body's instinct for survival gradually failed to affect his soul.

Already.

Although he hid a lot of things in his first communication with Hewen, he did not lie. When he entered this place, he suffered unbearable torture and his mind was almost completely destroyed, but even so,

Even so...

When he first escaped from the clutches of the devil, although he had resentment towards the fairy in the lake, his habits during his lifetime were still affecting the shape of his soul. He had not thought about what to do with those guys. As long as he could survive, he would be humiliated and scarred.

What does it count as?

He is a wizard, not a knight, and there are not so many things that he needs to protect. Except for life, everything else is measurable to him, and only life is priceless.

But as he stayed in this place longer and longer, fear destroyed and recast him.

If the fear of death is the most primitive instinct of human beings, it is an unshakable truth engraved in genes.

Then the fear of the unknown is the second fear that humans continue to grow and develop as civilization develops and their understanding of the world and themselves becomes clearer.

And when reason has an increasing influence on the decision-making of the human species, even surpassing instinct, the fear caused by the unknown surpasses the fear determined by genes of humans themselves.

How insignificant is death in the face of the absolute unknown and incomprehensibility?

Fear had already defeated Naxi. He knew that he had succumbed in the face of absolute darkness, violated his desire and love for life, and could only choose to plunge into a dark alley with no life or death.

And when people fall into the abyss, they always stretch their hands upward in vain, trying to catch something.

Hewen was the straw he grasped at.

Although he acted very calmly in front of Hewen, in fact it was just because he was suppressing his fear and trying not to act hysterical and scare Hewen away.

This is why he didn't dare to make too many demands on Hevin, because he was afraid of facing the whole crazy world alone again.

They are all crazy.

And he is the only sane person, and only he can have the opportunity to face the truth. If he continues to stay with them, or even pretends that nothing exists and communicates with them, he will unknowingly become one of those mentally abnormal people.

guy.

He must see the truth. As long as the truth can save him, he must escape from this madman's cave. He can sacrifice his own life and the lives of others, including the half-normal man named Hevin.
