Chapter 231: My Legion (1)
Silence fell in the dark alley.
Viscountess Amethyst looked around, her very clear purple mirrors embracing the entire alley. “So you want to revive Mr. Yoo Soo-Ha. Interesting. The ambience here isn’t really fit for resurrection. Are you aware of that, Mr. Gong-Ja?
Amethyst stepped in the puddle. The plastic bottle floating on the surface got caught in her feet, so she picked it up with her white fingers.
“Think about this bottle. It was probably imported from the outside world. Although it’s nothing more than a cheap drink, someone wanted to have it imported so they could drink it in this place, even if it meant spending a fortune. They drank every drop sparingly... Oh, no. The last drop is gone now.”
She hummed.
“They cherished the drink very much, so it would have felt like a waste to just throw it away. Maybe they used it as a water bottle for a while. Perhaps it became a pencil case. Still, this kind of affection has its limits.”
Amethyst threw the plastic bottle back into the muddy water, where it was slowly submerged until it stopped moving.
“So the trash was thrown back to where it belonged.”
Before I knew it, Amethyst was standing between Yoo Soo-Ha and me. The two of us looked at her, not saying a word. Yoo Soo-Ha was probably quiet because he instinctively felt that he would be screwed if he provoked her rashly.
“In this place, everything that was once abandoned has been abandoned once again.”
The people abandoned from that vast outside world had flocked to the Tower and founded Babylon. Those abandoned by Babylon crawled back into the corner alleys and built the slums. Now, even here, there were ugly, abandoned houses among other eyesores.
