【Suddenly I realized that we were separated.】

【It was really suddenly, it was like a second before, there were companions around me, and I could still hear their voices.】

【But the next second, all this disappeared.】

[In this narrow and deep tunnel, I am the only one left.]

【Fear grabs my heart.】

[But in my heart, I felt a little happy about this, because it shows that I am still alone, not some kind of monster in human skin.]

[But, this joy was quickly dispelled by the desire that arose in my heart.]

[In this situation, staying still and watching the development of things may be a better choice.]

【However, there is a voice in my heart telling me-─】

[Forward, forward again! Go deeper into this passage.]

[The desire mood is just like what I have in my dreams.]

[I cannot resist this call and continue to move towards the depths.]

[Soon I came to a cave covered with bones on the ground, which was much denser than the white bones in the passage before.]

[Where I go, the white skeletons extend.]

[And the skeletons in this cave have undergone obvious changes.]

[The most common skeletons of human children here - mostly babies and two or three-year-olds, all of which are piled up here.]

【In addition, there are also some adult skeletons in the skeletons of children.】

[After checking some adult bones, I found that most of the adults who died here were women - this reminded me of the content on the previous mural.]

[The rock walls here also have paintings, as if recording some kind of ritual.]

[There are at least dozens of alien monsters of different images drawn on it.]

【There are extremely tall giants covered with hair; there are also human-shaped beasts with all legs; and there are also short dwarfs with extra thick arms.】

[They carry some characteristics of human beings without exception, but at the same time, they have more non-human signs.]

[There are also a large number of very young children on the mural - how old are they, they may be at the age of just weaning.]

[In the ceremony, humans with black eyes will carefully examine each child and then use pigments to give them different marks and distinguish them into different types.]

[Different types of children will be fed liquid in different clay pots and then taken away by different types of humanoid monsters.]

[Next, the murals spread around, depicting more scenes and showing the different destinies of these children.]

[All children will become more and more similar to the group that takes them away.]

[What impressed me the most was one of the humans who looked the most like ordinary people. Those children were clearly depicted in the sexual characteristics of men and women.]

【After taking the medicine and being taken away, they developed premature puberty.】

[When they grow to a certain age, they start having sex and give birth to more ordinary babies.]

[No doubt they exist as fertility machines.]

[The horrible history revealed behind these murals makes me almost breathless.]

[But on the other hand, a feeling of "Isn't this a matter of course?" in my heart.]

[Since we walked into the passage, we smelled a strange smell with a slight fishy smell.]

[The experts at the headquarters attribute it to the result of air silt, but I clearly remember this smell - I smelled it when I met Dr. Wang for the last time I met him - the clay pots in his laboratory and the clothes on his body were stained with this smell.]

[I found that this odor may come from somewhere in this cave. I tried to distinguish the source of the odor and searched in the cave.]

【Finally, I found a crack at the edge of the cave.】

[As for what happened afterwards, I can't even determine whether it is true or false.]

[For a long time, I tried to attribute that experience to the hallucination that arises when my spirit was on the verge of collapse after revealing too many horror truths - after all, there is no evidence to prove my experience, and no one witnessed the things I described.]

【I saw a dirty and torn clothes in the light of the flashlight.】

【I approach it.】

[Then, fear and disgust were mixed together and surged up.]

[Because I saw that under those clothes was a pool of rotten hair and flesh!]

[They were severely torn and could hardly tell their true colors.]

[I can only barely tell by some details that it is a person—or, what remains of a person.]

[The rotten flesh and blood were wrapped in a thin layer of skin, and there was no bone in the whole pile, as if they were cruelly peeled off from a human.]

[I vaguely saw some familiar shadows from the clothes, but reason prevented me from continuing to think downward.]

[At this time, I heard footsteps coming from a distance. I thought I was a companion who had explored the passage together before, but I could turn my head to look...]

【The boundary between truth and falsehood seems to be broken.】

[The fear beyond imagination was deeply imprinted into my mind, and the extremely tense nerves abominably destroyed my existence, which condensed into strange dreams several times.]

[That is a face without facial features.]

[The faceless man is naked, his body is strong and his muscles are filled with unusual beauty.]

【He, come to me.】

[And at that time, my mood was also in extreme contradictions.]

[I can feel that the part of human beings is fear, instinct is screaming, and wanting to escape.]

[But I, who didn't know what existed, was extremely happy and excited, and even wanted to take the initiative to hug the faceless man.]

【This makes me unable to escape, my body is fixed in place as if I have been cast by magic.】

【Although there is no mouth, the faceless man's vocal cords still emit empty, strange syllables.】

【I want to escape, but I can't get rid of it.】

[In a very suffocating time, he touched my face with his hands and repeated the previous syllables again.]

【Unstoppable fear drowns my mind before I realize something.】

【I suddenly burst into a scream and fell into a kind coma.】

[When I woke up again, I found that experts and other companions were around me.]

[I am no longer in the cave before.]

[No one asked me what I had just encountered, because their faces were extremely ugly.]

[Including the so-called expert, his face was even pale and his hands were trembling slightly. He hesitated for a while, and finally he just gritted his teeth and issued an order to retreat.]

[Obviously, he has also given up on continuing to search for Dr. Wang.]

After leaving the ruins, every member involved in the operation kept silent about his own experience.]

[The expert took the initiative to ask me to completely seal the underground passage and no one is allowed to explore it anymore.]

[I had this plan. I was naturally obedient and did as I did.]

[The only gain from this operation is a notebook picked up by the expert, which I think belongs to Dr. Wang.]

[The first half of the notebook contains a lot of research on ancient potions, and in the second half it becomes some crazy and unidentified graffiti and sporadic and weird texts.]

["Go to find", "people without faces", "changes", "genes"]

【Almost impossible to form a complete sentence.】

[Only at the end of the notebook, a creepy word left behind.]

【“I already know His greatness and beauty.”】

【“I have fallen into His arms.”】

[“If anyone finds this notebook, don’t come to me again. Don’t.”]

[The experts were a little confused about this, while I was in deeper fear.]

[I still remember the syllables issued by the Faceless Man, because it was not a barbaric whistle, nor was it some mysterious and incomprehensible alien language.]

【That is...my name.】

…………

[Afterward, I left the second ruins and returned to the abandoned city.]

[I decided to forget everything that happened in the ruins, forget the secretary, forget those nightmares, and start my new life again.]

[I don’t know if it is related to the development of the No. 2 ruins. One month after I returned to the city, the senior executives of the three major companies actually began to join forces to wipe out the Hui scholars.]

[I vaguely feel that this may be inseparable from some secrets found in the remains.]

【But what does that have to do with me?】

[Now I just want to live a peaceful life.]
