The girl took out a knife from the kitchen and was about to kill the three of them.
Philip quickly stopped her and said, “Aren’t you afraid of getting your bedroom dirty if you do it here?”
The girl shook her head, and Philip said with a sigh, “Go outside.”
The three were killed by the girl while they were unconscious. Philip manipulated the water to wash the surrounding area and set the three on fire, turning them into ashes.
The girl was very brave, unmoved despite killing three people. However, she was also a child who knew how to repay kindness, so she invited Philip into the house for dinner.
The house could almost be described as barren.
The girl took out the only piece of meat from the refrigerator and served it to Philip after cooldng it. This piece of meat could be considered the most valuable item in this family.
Philip did not refuse her kindness, but he still gave the siblings half the portion of meat. The siblings did not speak anything, they just looked at Philip only.
After finishing his meal, Philip asked them, “What are your names?”
The younger brother said, “My name is Jack, and my sister’s name is Jess.”
Those sounded like pretty common names, so Philip continued to ask, “Where are your parents?”
If there was an adult in the family, at least they would not lead such a miserable life.
Jack glanced at his sister aggrievedly, and he said, “They went to the center of the desert and never came back…”
Philip was taken aback and said, “I see. I’m sorry.”
The vegetation near this town was fairly lush with no desert marked on the map, so he asked, “Is there a desert nearby?”
“This desert only appeared three years ago, and one part of it still surrounds this small town.”
The girl handed a glass of water to Philip and added, “There are storms in that desert every day, and hover cars and the like can’t get out at all.”
The boy hugged his elder sister, who had taken care of him all these years.
“They received an emergency call one day and left for the desert, but they never came back. This place slowly became like this. We have to live like rats every day, and I have to make myself look ugly before I even dare to go out and do odd jobs in an auto repair shop.”
