“What is your faith?” Little Yichen asked her.
Looking at the moon, Lisa narrowed her eyes and said mockingly, “Faith? I am not of any faith.”
As far back as she could remember, her family had been destroyed and she’d been scrounged for a living. She and hundreds of other war orphans, like her, had been taken to Atlanta Island. There was a bloody assassin organization on Atlanta Island. Every year, they would collect war orphans from all over
the world, children of all skin colors and ages, boys and girls, and even refugees.
Hundreds of children were locked up in a very large cage. They were given a bowl of rice and a glass of water every day. There were hundreds of children, but only one bow! of rice and one glass of water. Every child was starving. What did this mean?
This meant that even if one wanted to eat just a mouthful of rice, one had to fight hundreds of children for it!
There was only one bowl of rice if one were hungry.
And only one glass of water if one were thirsty.
In order to fill their stomachs and survive, the children would start killing each other. Some with weak personalities didn’t want to fight. Eventually, they could only starve to death. Most children would fight over the food and water. Everyone, including her, wanted to live. No one was an exception.
Faith then was—she didn’t want to go hungry.
Initially, she was unable to recover from this setback. She was alone and could not compete with those children who had formed cliques. However, hunger was like a ferocious beast. Once she became hungry, the primitive hunting instinct in her body would be awakened!
She started to fight.
Gradually, she managed to fight for more and more food and water.
And gradually, many children starved to death. Corpses were dragged out of the cages, but the other children didn’t dare to leave the cages. They were like livestock being reared!
Later on, the given bowl of rice became half a bowl of rice, and the cup of water became half a cup of water. Finally there was no food and no water.
By this time, many of the children had gone insane. They had been brought here from warring countries. Some of them were even natives. They had no concept of law, nor did they have any concept of the sanctity of life. They only wanted to live!
They felt terrible when they were hungry, so they desired to eat! When there was no more food, they would eat the flesh of a living person! The children who were unwilling to eat became live prey. At this time, they needed to resist the children who had formed gangs.
In the end, Lisa and a few other children survived. However, at that point, all of them were only barely alive!
She was not surprised.
The moment she climbed out, she naively thought, Have I finally obtained freedom?
At that time, faith was—living, living under such warm sunlight.
However, after the children were brought out, they were immediately sent to the next round of hell on earth training.
The so-called hell on earth training was hell-level. The weak would die and the strong would live.
Perhaps, in the end, only one person would be able to survive through all the trials.
And Lisa was the only child who survived that period.
However, after the cruel struggle, she no longer had any faith!
It was precisely because she had no faith that her heart ached for that kind of Youyou.
After the first personality had been destroyed by the second personality, Youyou, who became Gong Fan, was like a numb and cruel walking corpse. He had no emotions, no faith, and lived his life aimlessly.
He had only ambition.
But such an ambition would surely destroy him..
