Side Story 3: Two People and a Corpse

Zhang Haiyan put makeup on Nanres face. This was probably the first time this little girl had ever worn makeup. He added some blush to her childish face, almost making it look as if she were breathing again. He used special leather to make a new scalp for her and put a wig on her, all while recording the details of her face.

After about an hour, the wounds on Nanres body were completely covered.

After that, he applied an antiseptic and deodorant potion on her and then walked out of the room with her in his arms.

Do you already know where theyre going? Madison asked him.

Zhang Haiyan nodded. Shell take us there.

Herman and his companions had been in the jungle for two weeks, so it wouldnt be easy to catch up with them. But it wasnt currently the rainy season, so traces of their march would be very obvious for people like Zhang Haiyan.

Madison looked at Nanre in surprise and started trembling a little bit. It almost looked as if she were asleep.

What happened to her? What did you do to her?

This is Chinese sorcery. Zhang Haiyan put the corpse on his back. The little girls face leaned against his shoulder. Lets go. Shes urging us to go.

Zhang Haiyan was a little surprised at himself for following Madison so resolutely, and now he was even willing to follow the man again.

Maybe it was because Nanre looked somewhat like her.

Zhang Haiyan suddenly understood.

Nanre looked like his mother from his homeland.

The memories of what his mother was like and the details about her had all disappeared. Now, all he could remember was a rough image and her short hair that was embedded deep in his memory.

I miss you so much, Mom.

Zhang Haiyan looked at the burning red clouds in the sky.

One day at the end of the nineteenth century, Zhang Haiyan patted the corpse on his back, turned his feelings of missing home into murderous intent, and left with Madison.

Two people and a corpse embarked on a journey to the depths of southern Peraks rainforests, where giant ancient tropical trees soared into the sky. It was a place that almost no one had ever reached.
