"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?"

"Sorry, I don't seem to have any fighting ability... I don't know much about these things."

Even without memories, Aarons knew whether he had fighting ability or not.

There was only a very weak breath flowing in his body, which could not be used for fighting at all - it couldn't even enhance 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 to be a little weak."

Aarons always felt that he seemed to care about this matter before, but after listening to Locke's words, he didn't continue to dwell on it.

- His weakness is not a flaw or abnormality, it's just "normal".

"Okay, I see you have no strength after walking so much, so go in and rest for a while."

After being warmly received into the small house of the guard station, Aarons immediately received an even warmer welcome.

Although the house made of earth, stone and straw was not very big, there were seven tall demons staying inside - 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 them. These are the official members of the security team. And this rescued human... is her brother, Aarons."

"What? Are you kidding... Oh, sorry, I'm talking too much, they are brother and sister, right... They are brother and sister..."

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

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

They are 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. In addition, his memory disappeared when he was injured before, and I don't know if he can recover."

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

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

"His body has just recovered not long ago, let him rest first. Kevin, please bring me a stool."

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

"...He can still hold on for a while, but you also know that with the manager's current state, it would not be surprising if he suddenly died at any time."

The manager who has been burning himself for nearly a thousand years is still supporting the barrier outside the shelter alone. If her lifespan runs out, the demons here will lose their only protection.

If it's just the loss of shelter, it's fine. The problem is that there are still 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 don't have human technology.

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

"Hmm..."

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

His consciousness seemed to have touched some kind of forbidden area, and he couldn't continue thinking.

"Brother, the spirit hasn't healed yet, don't force it."

"Are there still mental injuries... I see."

Perhaps the memories he lost were just sealed up by the injured brain. Perhaps he only needs an opportunity to restore his original memories.

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

"Anyway, we have been relying on the managers for too long, and we should learn to find a way out on our own."

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

"Alas...there are regular troops stationed outside, can we just sit and wait for death?"

Aarons didn't know exactly what the problem was, but he knew from Locke thatIt can be heard from the conversations of others that the demons here are actually quite confused about the future.

This tribe has been hiding here for a thousand years, and the younger generation will 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, 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 that you are a trustworthy person."

"Is that so."

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

They are very smart and rational, and did not attribute the behavior of some evil people to the entire race of the other party-perhaps it is just because they still yearn for the outside world and do not want to imagine the outside world to be so cruel.

And Aarons did not want to live up to their trust in him.

"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're also a human living outside... but it must be inconvenient without memories, right? You should rest here for a while and talk about it after you recover."

"These things should have been done by us, so it doesn't matter if you don't help."

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

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

"I know... Yalu, what should I do to help me recover my memory as soon as possible?"

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

"Then do what I can do first."

Although he has no memories, Aarons still retains an extremely firm belief in his heart.

If he wants to prove that his existence is meaningful... he must do something.
