If Annan is the only one without a shadow... he can also understand that "he is dead" or "he is using the body of a vampire".
But there was no shadow in the whole room.
Not only that, Annan didn't even see the mirror.
Fortunately, there is liquid in the room...
Annan found a glass and poured a glass of wine into it.
He held the glass of wine in front of the TV and used the bright light to see the reflection in the glass.
This time, Annan actually saw himself and the TV.
Annan still used his own body, but he looked more mature, probably in his twenties.
His long silver hair was shawl, and his icy blue pupils were like gems. His face lost its childishness and became extremely handsome.
His skin is so pale that it has no blood color, but it does not give people an unhealthy feeling. Because there are no cyan blood vessels seeping out from under the skin, but it is as white as mutton-fat jade.
Annan took off his shirt, and his chest, which was only wearing a vest, was no longer thin and slender, but had muscles visible to the naked eye.
But it is not a muscle mass stacked together like a bodybuilder, but a type that pays more attention to streamlined beauty-reminiscent of swimming athletes or marble statues carved by Michelangelo.
The key point is that it is flawless... that is, the muscles are well-proportioned and beautiful, neither prominent nor lacking.
Annan was somewhat surprised to find out.
...When I grow up, I actually look a bit like Sephiroth?
"It's not good, this dress."
Annan complained: "Am I going to become a memory..."
But he felt a little more at ease.
In other words, the rules of specular reflection still apply in this world.
The strange thing is this red moon.
The light cast by this red moon cannot satisfy the thirsty light demand of the curse on Annan's shoulder. It can't cast a shadow in the room... It's like it doesn't exist, it's just Annan's illusion - or in other words, it's like
"Filter" is average.
At this time, the long cutscene finally ended on the TV, and sounds and images appeared.
Annan immediately turned his attention to it——
"……Huh?"
He was startled for a moment.
Because the person who came out of that shot was none other than Isaac.
He was wearing a black double-breasted trench coat that resembled a military uniform, with a pistol and a short knife slung around his waist. He was wearing heavy boots and walked hurriedly among the crowds of people coming and going.
His brows were furrowed, and his right hand was subconsciously placed in his pocket. The thumb of his left hand was constantly tapping from the index finger to the little finger, tapping the fingertips at a standard frequency of once per second, like a cold machine.
Seeing this scene, Annan was immediately convinced that this was indeed Isaac who entered the nightmare with him.
Whenever Isaac is nervous or lost in thought, he will make little moves like this.
This is actually a timing habit. After all, many spells of transformation wizards are related to time - maybe after three seconds, this spell will bring this effect; but if it is delayed by another three seconds, the same spell will
The transformation products produced are completely different.
If this habit occurs, it means that he is indeed Isaac.
...But the timelines between them seem to be different?
Isaac seems to have adapted to life there.
"--Snapped."
As one of Isaac's boots stepped into the mud puddle, the dim yellow sky was crushed.
The world over there seems to be full of dim yellow.
The dim yellow sky seemed to be filled with sandstorms all the time.
Sand and dust were flying all over the sky in the hurricane, but strangely... Isaac's pure white hair was not stained by the sand and dust.
"...Is it the same as the red moon here?"
Annan thought.
This world always feels a little strange...
Shouldn't this be the world of "Ode to the Skytrain"?
But Annan didn't see anything related to the overhead crane at all.
And I always feel like this world is broken...
"——Captain! The insects are coming!"
A young man's voice suddenly sounded from outside the screen.
Annan saw a young soldier carrying a rifle hurried up to Isaac and saluted him: "We have completed the formation! All three hundred and twenty-eight people are here, and there is not a single deserter!"
"Then attack!"
Isaac waved his hand: "Keep all those bugs out of the town and don't let them in!"
His voice is calm and gives people a sense of confidence.
It was as if by listening to his command, one would be invincible.
Listen to Isaac's voice.
The young soldier shouted "Yes" excitedly!
As the young soldier disappears at the end of the screen.
The camera gradually turned around.
——Then Annan saw a troop with only more than 300 people, more than half of whom were young soldiers, gradually rushing out from Isaac's side.
Nearly three-fifths of the people there were teenagers and girls, and the rest were all old people or women. Except for Isaac, no adult male was seen.
Their clothes looked a little shabby, stained with blood, or had holes, but their morale seemed extremely strong and their fighting spirit was strong.
This is actually a group of veterans.
Isaac, who was at the back of the team, also pulled out the short knife from his waist when leaving the town. He skillfully slashed the knife to the ground behind him.
Tsk——
It was obviously not long enough, but the dagger made a sound of colliding with the ground.
A mark was carved on the ground.
A transparent and invisible force field wall about three meters high rises from the ground - shining with azure light, extending rapidly to the left and right, and has exceeded two kilometers in the blink of an eye.
The people behind him were easily protected by Isaac.
"……Um?"
But Annan suddenly saw a strange scene.
He heard "bugs", so he originally thought the incoming enemy would be bugs.
However, those who came from afar were clearly human beings.
That was also a team full of "old, weak, sick and disabled", and there were also no adult males. The number was about three times more than here. What was even worse than here was that they didn't even have firearms and weapons, so they could only use
Melee weapons.
The specifications of these weapons seemed to be for adults. They were just worn out, as if they had just experienced a tragic battle.
But when both sides fought, neither side hesitated at all.
Gunshots, swords drawn.
The moment they met the enemy, the two sides launched an extremely brutal fight.
But in the face of the tragedy of "the same kind" being killed, no one wavered. There was only disgust, fear and hatred in their eyes, but no compassion.
——It was as if the opponent in their eyes was really just a bug. The most bizarre thing was that when they were in close contact with the enemy, no one attacked the friendly forces at all.
Even Isaac didn't notice anything was wrong.
It's like...
The "enemy" in their eyes is really just a bunch of bugs.
