Chapter 44: Lover’s Quarrel
Cail received the card out of curiosity. It looked very official with a government mark stamped into it.
If this organization is legal, then the reason why they probably lack staff is 1. There aren’t enough Void users, 2. They all kept dying so they gotta replenish it quickly.
The woman seemed to be determined to get a good impression on Cail, she wanted to approach him, but Cail backed away. Sensing that Cail was still wary, the woman did not mind and her determination didn’t waver.
She started talking like a tour guide: "We are now inside a void rift." Then she opened her arms and twirled, "And thiiiiis city, is a city eaten by the void." As the wind blew her dress, chimes sounded from the metallic bead-like design on her skirt.
"Weirdo," Cail said to himself. Since this woman was happy to help, then he might as well ask, "How did I appear here? Is there a way out?"
The woman smiled cheerfully. "Aya! You’re finally talking to me." Cail frowned and before he could even say anything, the woman cut him off, "You appeared here because the Nyx city is dying!" That sounded awfully happy.
"Dying?" Remembering what she had just said about this ruined city, he guessed, "Is Nyx city about to be eaten by the void? Why?"
The ever-glowing woman did not answer, but she looked behind Cail. She seemed to be a bit off, "I’ll answer that, but we should keep going." Before Cail could even react, she suddenly grabbed Cail by the arm and dragged him.
Cail felt like he was clamped down by iron. The temperature of the hand that was holding him passed through his sleeves, and all he could say, it felt cold as ice.
They were running as Cail felt like he was more of being dragged around than running. He asked, "Who are we running away from?" Not knowing anything in this situation felt awful.
"Hmmm?" The rainwater hit the woman’s white hair. It resembled silk floating in midair. Hearing Cail’s question, she looked guilty, "Ahh... We are running away from the Tyrant."
