3 3 301 DialogEnable Roland and Lamia walk past a sign with "Welcome home!" and a few unrecognizable letters. The town is surrounded by forest, with borders that resemble the texture of black velvet.
4 4 301 The morning dew soaks the air, wetting Roland and Lamia's artificial skin through leaves. The sensors send a chilling signal to Roland's M.I.N.D.
5 5 301 The moment he comes close to the town, he feels a familiar pulse.
6 6 301 The power given to him by agents is still inside his body. He immediately understands something.
7 7 301 Luna has been here indeed.

10 10 301 1 Lamia ...Where is this...? 2
11 11 301 Roland An interesting place. 1
12 12 301 Lamia Eek? 2
13 13 301 Roland We may be able to find all the answers here, but it can also be just a trap. 1

15 15 301 Roland walks forward without telling Lamia all the truth.
16 16 301 There are no signs of other Ascendants... Which is understandable. Without solid evidence, this place is just a residue of the past.
17 17 301 Roland snaps his fingers, spinning his gun with the other hand.
18 18 301 He abruptly stops it, then loads up the bullets.

21 21 301 1 Lamia ...What's wrong? 2
22 22 301 Roland It's too quiet. This place can't be so peaceful. 1
23 23 301 Roland During the Golden Age, machines with artificial intelligence were widely used. In places like this where human communities used to live, no matter how much they resisted the convenience of machines, there has got to be some machines around here for public use. 1
24 24 301 Roland But it's too quiet right now. It's unlikely that the scavengers got rid of the Corrupted here. 1
25 25 301 Roland A place too quiet must be abnormal. An abnormal place is where we can expect enemies. 1

27 27 301 Just like Roland said, black figures begin to appear from the ruins around the town one after another.
28 28 301 Crawling, walking, they stumble toward two of them.

31 31 301 1 Roland Seems we still have some extra work to do before we can search the town uninterrupted. 1
32 32 301 Roland How pathetic. You look like abandoned toys. They left you behind in collapsed buildings, then use you whenever they need to. 1
33 33 301 Roland Where are your "parents"? Do you remember the looks on their face when they threw you away? 1
34 34 301 Roland Have you ever seen those people who control you from behind the scene? Do you recall their faces? 1

37 37 301 1 Corrupted ... 1
38 38 301 The Corrupted only reply with silence, but they never stop moving.

41 41 301 1 Roland Hmph, I thought so. 1
42 42 301 Roland You are but empty shells. I shouldn't have tried to talk to you in the first place. 1
43 43 301 Roland But if whoever thinks you scrubs can stop us... 1
44 44 301 Roland Go to the town, Lamia. I'll engage them. 1
45 45 301 Lamia ? 2
46 46 301 Roland This place needs some cleaning. I will remove these clowns. 1
47 47 301 Lamia Um... Understood. 2
48 48 202 1 2 1
49 49 301 Roland holds the shotgun under his chain blade, getting ready to shoot.
50 50 301 Lamia leaps on the walls of nearby buildings and climbs up with inhuman dexterity. A few Corrupted want to go after her, but Roland fires the moment they jump onto the wall.
51 51 201 1 500334
52 52 301 1 Roland Hey, I'm still here. 1
53 53 301 Roland How rude of you to ignore your guest. Bad kids will be punished by their parents... Sorry, I forgot that yours are long gone. 1
54 54 301 Roland Too bad then, I'll have to do the work for them. Even though you have no souls, you need to learn manners. 1
55 55 301 Roland? Manners? You call this manners?
56 56 301 Roland How is this not? 1
57 57 301 Roland These soulless things still walk the earth. My courtesy is to return them to the dust. 1
58 58 301 AniZhuanchangBegin He raises both weapons, then charges toward the very first Corrupted—
59 59 202 1 1
60 60 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Like every easily battle in the past, Roland tears the Corrupted apart in no time.
61 61 301 Over time, he also becomes more familiar with his new body. The path into the town is now open.
62 62 301 But Roland isn't going forward. He just stands still.
63 63 301 Roland? What is it?
64 64 201 1 500334
65 65 301 1 Roland ...Never mind. Let's go. 1
66 66 301 Roland Lamia? You there? 1
67 67 301 Lamia ...Yeah.
68 68 301 Roland I'll enter the town from the lower path to see if they left us something. 1
69 69 301 Roland Can you take care of the upper route? 1
70 70 301 Lamia Um... Okay.
71 71 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Roland walks deeper into the town as if Lamia did not just hesitate momentarily.
