You said it yourself, at this very moment the Earth must not be maintained. What is it going to look like?"
"That's right. In that case, I'll have to kill you."
"Wait until we wake up and our first instinct is to plug our noses. Who knows, the gas might still be there."
"Smart."
"Let's meet here then."
"Alright, but before we leave, I'll have something to tell you... And no forget what I just said."
While I was wondering what he wanted to tell me, he took his sword and put a rather powerful blow in my rib. Before I could pass out, I was too.
CHAPTER 23
It was then that I woke up in my room. My first reflex was to block my nose.
It's still crazy, nothing has moved since I slept.
"Let's see what's going on outside."
I pulled back the curtain to see a devastated landscape at the window. It couldn't be called apocalyptic yet, but it was getting close.
I put on a mask and walked out of my house.
"It must be how long... 2 weeks since everyone slept".
During my trip, I could observe all sorts of things, like car accidents, a plane that had run aground in the tide and countless humans sleeping.
"Here, aren't the dogs affected by the gas?"
There was a dog standing near his owner who was on the ground. Unfortunately for him, his guardian wasn't going to wake up for a while.
"That's weird, I feel like he's waiting for something..."
My deductions were not wrong. As I looked away, I saw a person arrive.
"What are you doing here?" He said to me with a very surprised look.
"Don't worry about me."
"You don't belong here".
"Yes, I know that. So you're going to kill me, right?"
"Yes, I will have to do that"
"That dog, he doesn't belong to you but you feed him every day"
"How do you know that"
"Deep down, you're not a bad person or you wouldn't care about that dog. And you won't kill me either."
I could see him clenching his fists, would I have touched a nerve?
"I'm tired of being treated like a nobody," he said in a low voice.
"Then show time you're stronger if you're tired of it"
"But how? I'm just an outsider."
I felt sorry for this person. He was certainly on the enemy side, but I wanted to help him. To get him to give me more information of course.
"Maybe I can help you..."
"What really?"
"Yes, if you start by telling me what an Outsider is."
