Han was a very ordinary Asiatic. He was thirty-five years old, unmarried, and still single.
However, there was something special about him, which was his birthplace — Windmill Town. It was close to Brute Cavern.
Just like the other residents of Windmill Town, the more they understood the world of supernatural beings, the more they realized how beautiful and fantastical this world was. Their hearts were filled with anticipation and longing. Everyone had their own fantasies: How great would it be if I could become a high and mighty sorcerer?
So did Han. He had been dreaming about becoming a wizard ever since he was a kid. Unfortunately, his spiritual power was only six. It was a number that could not be made up even with potions.
When Han realized that he could not become a wizard, he went to Midnight Sovereign, the capital of the Earth's Center, to earn a living.
After twenty years, Han still did not make a name for himself. Han could almost see his own future. It would be as ordinary as ever, and there would be no trouble until he died.
However, something big happened in Midnight Sovereign.
Everyone seemed to have changed into another person. They were chanting "Praise the Queen" and doing strange actions in the fog-filled city. They were like clowns.
Han was very lucky. He had just returned to Windmill Town to visit his parents at that time and avoided this disaster. When his parents learned about the situation in Midnight Sovereign, they persuaded him to stay in Windmill Town.
Twenty years ago, Windmill Town was a place that gave up all his dreams. He did not even dare to face it and ran away. But now, Han had accepted reality. He no longer hoped that the world would revolve around him. Instead, he hoped that his future could be more peaceful. Therefore, he shook hands with his chuunibyou self and accepted his parents' suggestion to stay in Windmill Town.
Han used the money he earned in Midnight Sovereign to open a textile workshop and a small dye shop in Windmill Town. He started a cloth business.
His main customers were the wizards in the mirror world.
For the past two years, Han spent most of his time traveling between Windmill Town and the underground market in the mirror world. It was a bit hard, but he was earning more and more money.
Just when Han thought that his life was finally on the right track, Wind Car Town experienced the same thing as Midnight Sovereign. Something strange happened.
Some people suddenly went crazy for no reason.
Moreover, this madness seemed to be contagious.
Wizards from Brute Cavern arrived in time and arranged a hospital for the patients. However, they could not find the cause of the disease, nor could they save the patients. This caused the atmosphere in Windmill Town to change.
Where did this crazy disease come from? Was there something unclean in Windmill Town? Had they come into contact with it before? Would he also go crazy?
Most of the residents did not dare to leave their houses, except for the merchants who still had business with Brute Cavern.
Han was one of them.
Han went out worriedly every day. Half a month passed without any problems.
Just when Han thought everything was going well, they ran into someone who was not supposed to be here in the tunnel leading to Brute Cavern.
Eva!
A person who was infected by madness!
Wasn't he supposed to be in a mental hospital? Why would he appear here?
The surrounding people were all screaming and running out. Han also followed them in a panic, but before he could run to the entrance of the cave, Han stepped on something and slipped.
When Han tried to get up, he felt something heavy on his shoulder.
Ham trembled as he turned his head. What he saw was … Eva, who was smiling at him.
The next second, Han felt his vision turning dark as he was dragged into a dark vortex.
…
"Please, sir! Help us!" "Eva is here!" "We don't want to go crazy!"
The people who came out of the tunnel all knelt on the ground and begged for their lives.
Normally, when they saw supernatural beings, they would treat them with the highest respect. But now, they could not care less.
Sunders looked at the kneeling people with an unreadable glint in his eyes.
In the past, Sunders would not care about such trivial matters in the mortal world. But today, maybe because of Zslade's words, Sunders felt uneasy.
Everything seemed peaceful for now, but Sunders still felt that something was wrong.
The appearance of this group of people seemed to be a sign of something.
"Do you want to check it out?" Angor asked.
"Let's have a look," said Sunders as he put away his cane and walked toward the group.
On their way, Greya said, "I think there's something unusual in the tunnel they came out from."
Angor nodded. He already saw the situation with his spirit power. "Something's wrong with that man in a hospital gown."
As Sunders approached, the people kneeling on the ground showed hope in their eyes. They seemed to want to say something, but Sunders did not give them the chance and simply ignored them.
"I'll go check it out. You guys ask them what's going on," said Sunders. Without hesitation, he quickly walked into the dark tunnel and disappeared.
"Someone was attacked?" Angor glanced at the cave again.
"Is that an attack? From the looks of it, she just rested her chin on his shoulder and stroked his face with her hand. It looks like a normal interaction, "said Greya. She was also using her spirit power to check the tunnel.
"Normal interaction?"
"What do you mean it's not normal? She didn't break his neck … Wait, did she really break his neck? I thought it was just an intimate interaction. "
Angor did not know what to say.
While they were talking, the people kneeling on the ground looked at each other.
"I think we're missing someone?"
"Yes. Old Ham isn't here."
"Lady Greya, you said someone broke his neck … Is that Old Ham?"
"When did I say my neck was broken?" Greya squinted at Angor and asked, "When did I say my neck was broken?"
Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word when Greya glanced at them.
"Alright, stand up, all of you," Greya said in an annoyed tone. "Tell me about it. What's going on in there?" Greya asked.
They looked at each other and did not know what to say. Or rather, they did not know how to face a wizard. In the end, an old man with an opium pipe on his waist stepped forward. "Lady Greya, we don't know what's going on. Iwa was locked up in the hospital …"
