The boy paled after saying his name.
He didn't know what happened to him now, how that name came to his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
So he decided to let the passage of time solve this for him, maybe if more time passed he would remember something.
However, he had never heard of this city before and it seemed unfamiliar to him.
But was it right to ask them such a question in this situation?
Well, he thought, he had nothing to lose, so saying that he had amnesia might be the best option for him, after all, he needed information and he had to understand what was going on around him.
And that surely nothing will be worse for him than that cursed plain.
He was still wondering how he managed to escape from that dirty place; He was definitely killed by those evil hands.
Maybe dying was the key to escape from that mournful place.
In any case, he wouldn't achieve anything by preoccupying his mind with that a place, and would only make himself more confused.
So he decided not to bother himself by thinking about it.
Based on what he had seen so far, he realized that Elaine was the leader of this group.
A group of three consisting of Elaine, a boy with blue hair named Joshua, and a boy with brown hair and eyes named Billy.
Tahel was curious to know how they found him, so he asked Elaine.
"Ummm... Elaine, how did you find me?! Honestly, I don't remember anything and I don't even know what's going on here?!"
When Elaine heard that the boy had amnesia, her eyes widened in surprise and she doubted.
All those who had stepped into this world for the first time had never experienced such a thing before, or maybe she had never encountered such a thing.
Because this was the law of this world; A world for manifesting memories and not forgetting yourself.
When she entered this place for the first time, she remembered the memories she had forgotten very well, without a single flaw.
For this boy to say such a thing; There is definitely room for doubt and ambiguity.
And the only argument that can make his forgetfulness believable is that this is not his first entry; And he may have lost his memories during an accident.
But again, this does not eliminate Elaine's doubts; Because if he entered this place before and is still here, he should have seen her at least once.
Black City is small; There are very few safe places to live in, it remains like a village and all the people still left in this town know each other.
"You really don't remember anything?!"
Tahel nodded in response.
However, there is no use in having this suspicion, the best thing to do is to keep an eye on the boy to find out who he is and whether he has a specific purpose or not.
So Elaine began to explain how she and her group had found him.
"We found you near the entrance to the city. There you were lying unconscious in a corner and you didn't seem to be injured. We thought that you are a new entry to this world. And well, it's strange that you have forgetfulness; Anyway, welcome to the Black City."
The black city is a city covered with darkness; It is as if the sky has lost its sun here and only the night is the host of this place. Dark but a little light; the light that came from the moonlight and the lamp of this place had been abandoned.
But the streets of this city were deserted; Except for Elaine's group, he had never encountered any other humans on this path. Elaine's group was out patrolling and gathering supplies, but they fell behind their schedule when they found Tahel.
So they decided to go to collect food later. They took a winding path to get back to their hideout.
The path was full of ruins of buildings and some places with giant roots of trees that were like devil's horns sticking out of the ground and turning it into a cursed place. gray roots with moving tentacles that were very dangerous; They would move and attack with the slightest sound.
Blue tentacles, the average length of which reaches ten meters each.
Fortunately, they had already made a safe route that only the group members knew about; And even if someone wanted to cross that path alone for the first time, he would surely lose his way and be captured by those crazy tentacles; They danced to the sound and did not hesitate to kill any animate or inanimate object.
That path was like a labyrinth surrounded by the branches of those trees.
If you take the wrong path, you will have no hope of coming back alive; Because those paths were surrounded by longer and more dangerous tentacles.
Tahel was seeing this place for the first time, but he felt a crazy feeling in his heart every moment, and his heart was beating madly from what he was watching.
badump....badump....badump....
The night was scary but beautiful.
The darkness that cast a shadow over the entire city, and shared a bit of moonlight with everyone.
The roots of the trees and those destroyed buildings gave him a suffocating feeling.
And the tentacles that looked like ballet dancers in the darkness of the nigthe and could fly to the sky by dancing, welcomed their arrival to that place.
Anyway, after an hour and passing through that long spiral, they reached the shelter.
