Looking at the dead corpse, Blue Crow once again raised his hunting rifle and fired at the body's abdomen, blasting it in half.
"You're free now..."
Blue Crow said coldly. He wanted to say something more, perhaps mention the woman's name for a more ceremonial farewell, but at that moment, Blue Crow realized he didn't know the woman's name.
It wasn't that the woman was hiding anything from him; Blue Crow had never asked. In his memory, the woman seemed to have mentioned her name a few times, but Blue Crow never cared.
Blue Crow grabbed a body bag and spent some time cleaning up the woman's corpse. Gathering the pieces of flesh together was a troublesome task, but without cutting these Demons into bits, Blue Crow couldn't feel at ease.
Since he came into contact with this Extraordinary World, Blue Crow had been extremely cautious. The world was filled with sinister Demons and the Condensers who wield Extraordinary Power. He was just an ordinary person who stumbled upon the shadows of the world, so being overly cautious couldn't hurt.
Hoisting the body bag over his shoulder, Blue Crow walked through the dim, dark underground corridor, flanked by sealed iron doors. Stained with mottled blood marks, the nauseating scent of blood filled the air.
Blue Crow had thought about cleaning up this place, but as the only person within Daisy Fortress, it was ultimately too much trouble, so he let it continue as it was.
The buzzing of mosquitoes and flies reached his ears as Blue Crow walked forward, his gaze sweeping over the iron doors, muttering the numbers on each one.
Finally, he reached the depths of the underground. The faint firelight illuminated only his feet. Beyond the stairs lay an unfathomable darkness.
As the owner of Daisy Castle, Blue Crow was taken aback when he first discovered such a vast underground space. He originally thought it would remain forever unused, but not long after, Blue Crow made perfect use of it.
"The last one."
Blue Crow counted, tossing the body bag on his shoulder into the darkness; a few seconds later, he heard it hit the ground.
Blue Crow intended to leave immediately, but he remembered the characters he'd written. Every murderer returns to the scene of their crime to relish their work.
With this thought, Blue Crow threw his candle into the abyss.
The fire danced a few times in the darkness, the flickering light outlining grim and twisted shadows, vaguely showing the mountain of body bags.
Blue Crow unconsciously smiled, turned around, and left. The iron door slowly closed, blocking all light, leaving the place eternally forgotten.
Upon exiting Daisy Castle, Blue Crow had changed his attire. He looked like he was going on a trip, dragging a suitcase behind him.
Blue Crow paused by the field of daisies; the gentle breeze carried a rich floral fragrance.
The sweet scent seemed to turn the air into honey. Blue Crow hadn't felt such joy for a long time. He recalled the last time he felt this way was thirty-three years ago, on that never-ending train.
Blue Crow took out an envelope and shook out a brand new train ticket. The ticket was peculiar; it noted the departure time but not the destination, and the train's name was elusive too.
Intertwined in black text, Blue Crow murmured softly.
"Joyful Garden..."
In a daze, Blue Crow heard the whistle in the distance. The train roared in; it had no starting station, no terminal, only tracks that went on forever.
