Despairing Space

"True Hometown?"

"Hell?"

"..."

Hearing Lu Xin's somewhat surprised voice, Number Two stood stunned for a long while.

He seemed not to know how to answer, or perhaps he was simply slow to react.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a flat and calm voice. "I'm familiar with True Hometown. Many people often mentioned it in front of me. As for Hell... it seems someone once told me something similar, but I don't remember much."

Lu Xin lowered his head and looked at Number Two, unsure what to say.

His emotions were extremely complicated at that moment. He was even a little sad.

At first, he had thought True Hometown was merely a mysterious organization—an unruly one at that. Dealing with it was simply a matter of dealing with it. As for Hell, he had never considered it his business. Dracula had tricked him into coming to Kindling City, and he had happened to encounter Xia Chong and the others, who were eager to resolve the problem, so he had lent them a hand for the sake of friendship...

But no matter what, he had never expected to encounter Number Two in the process.

Even less had he expected Number Two to be the core of this entire series of events...

He had already known that the creation of Hell was related to True Hometown. Now that he knew Number Two was the source of True Hometown, it was not difficult to infer that the various matters concerning Hell might also be connected to his fellow orphanage classmate...

Sigh!

Some of his former classmates had gone to the wilderness to become bandits, while others had been abducted and led down the path of crime.

And now, one of them had actually become the leader of an evil cult?
