Misty World: Start with SSS skill

Chapter 414  It's Zero!

"Heh?!" Petran felt as if he had heard wrong, he asked again: "Sherwin wants to avenge his sister and..."

"Destroy this dirty world. I mean… Earth." Skelegon said.

"Heh?! I thought he wanted to become stronger to defeat Hikaru and defeat all the other players in this world."

"Hahaha… you don't understand him, that's why you arrived at that possibility. I don't blame you either, anyone who doesn't know his past would think so, including me." Skelegon said.

"Sherwin is not as belligerent as you think. Hmm… though his behavior in this world is indeed like a bloodthirsty and murderous person. However, he is really a warm person."

Petran opened his mouth, and felt incredulous.

Is Sherwin a warm person? It was easier for him to believe that a pig could climb a tree than to say that Sherwin was a warm person.

"Skelegon, are you kidding me?" Petran frowned and said, "I was forced to join this bullshit group by you anyway, you don't have to lie to make me sympathize with Sherwin."

"No, you don't understand what I'm saying. Let me show you his past." As soon as Skelegon said that, he used his two catfish antennae to shoot two magic circles.

Those two magic circles wrapped around Petran and Skelegon. Petran then saw the space around him suddenly change.

He saw an extremely familiar scene that he always remembered.

High-rise buildings with glass windows.

Cars on the main road.

Lots of people are walking on the street.

Advertising signs.

….

Yes, this is Earth.

"Ah! A world in chaos and full of despair."

Suddenly, Skelegon's voice rang out beside Petran.

Petran was startled, he turned his head and looked beside him: "You… is this really Earth?"

"That's right. This is your world, however, this is only an image of Sherwin's memory."

"The image in Sherwin's memory? You mean… what we're seeing is an illusion?"

"That's right." Skelegon said: "I am showing you images from Sherwin's memory. But I hope you won't tell Sherwin."

"I just want you to understand that Sherwin is not who you think he is and I want to let you know why this group was formed."

Petran nodded, he asked: "So… why do you say that this place is full of chaos and despair? Don't you see that this is a place of peace and it is full of amenities that help people live better?"

"It isn't ." Skelegon countered, "Because you're from this world, you don't realize it."

"I feel… the dreams in this world are slowly disappearing. Humanity, even though it's alive, is no different from being dead."

"You are like animals that are controlled by a giant hand."

"Nature in this world is crying, it hates humanity, it wants to destroy humanity."

"You are like a lazy and backward race. If you cherish nature, then your world will also have the so-called Mana and magic."

"No, maybe it used to exist, but it's also gone. It disappeared as soon as man started destroying nature. They no longer worship and fear nature."

"Enough!" Petran felt a great headache, he said in a very annoyed voice: "I am here to look at Sherwin's memories, I am not here to be scolded."

"Okay, let's get started then." Skelegon said.

Right after that, the surroundings continued to change. Petran saw him and Skelegon appear in a dark and narrow alley.

The surroundings were filled with garbage, and the stench of urine while graffiti was scrawled on the walls in all sorts of colors.

Suddenly, a young man entered this dirty alley. He was wearing a shirt and jeans, and his appearance was a bit untidy.

In his hand he carried some cat food and a bottle of mineral water.

The young man had blond hair, and he wore glasses. The clothes he wore were also quite old and in many places worn.

"That is…"

"That's right." Without waiting for Petran to finish, Skelegon confirmed: "He is Sherwin."

Petran heard this and took a deep breath. If this young man didn't look like Sherwin, he certainly wouldn't believe it was Sherwin.

Why was the Sherwin on earth so different from the one in misty world?

Petran also did not ask much, he remained silent, continued to watch.

Sherwin went to the end of the alley, where there was a lot of scrap piled up like a wall.

Sherwin squatted, tore open the bag of cat food, found a clean spot on the ground, and poured it out.

Immediately after, a cat meow sounded, a large calico cat and 5 kittens came out from behind the scrap pile.

The big cat immediately rushed over and nuzzled Sherwin's leg, who also gently stroked the cat.

The kittens also swaddled around his legs. The scene in front of him was like a painting filled with the warmth of humanity and this made Petran feel warm too.

After a while, the cats began to eat the food left by Sherwin. He stroked the cats and said, "Mimi, eat a lot so you can take care of your children."

"Wow!" Petran couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect Sherwin to be such a warm and gentle person."

"This is…" Suddenly Sherwin spoke up. As he stroked the big cat, he found a wound.

"This wound… seems to have been caused by a knife." Sherwin muttered.

He saw a cut on the cat's leg, it was not too serious, and the blood was already dry.

"Based on the condition of the wound, it's probably just a skin wound and has already healed. Damn it, who would be evil enough to hurt such a pitiful cat?"

He gently stroked the cat and said, "Mimi, you shouldn't go to other places to look for food. I will often bring you food."

"Sorry, I live at an inn, where pets are not allowed. Otherwise, I would have brought you and your children to my room."

Sherwin said while feeling extremely guilty.

"Wait!" Sherwin seemed to have discovered something: "I will tell Arik, he just opened an animal shelter, you will surely have a better place to live."

After Sherwin finished speaking, he stood up and left. When he reached the end of the alley, he turned to look at the cats with worried eyes, while muttering: "Wait for me to come back."

Petran saw Sherwin leaving and sighed: "Haizz, this young man is so warm and kind. I can't understand why he changed into what he is now."

"You keep watching." Skelegon said.

The scene around them changed again, this time, Petran saw him and Skelegon standing in an animal shelter.

In the office of the animal shelter manager, Sherwin stood in front of a middle-aged man's desk, and excitedly said, "Dr Arik, I just discovered a group of abandoned cats. The mother of the cats is injured, can I bring them here?"

The man named Arik didn't even look at Sherwin, he worked through the documents on the table and said, "Do you have pictures of them?"

"Images? Ah! I have." Sherwin immediately took out from his pocket a rather outdated touchscreen phone.

He hurriedly opened the photo album and put the phone on the table for Arik to see.

Arik raised his head, and looked at the screen of his phone. Because Sherwin's phone screen was quite old, there were quite a few scratches and cracks on it, and it was difficult to see clearly.

Arik had to frown to see what kind of cats Sherwin took in the picture.

He thought for a moment and then said, "We'll adopt this cat and this cat."

Arik said as he pointed to two kittens, one completely white, while the other was black and white.

Both of those kittens have one thing in common which is that they are both cute, while the other cats are normal.

Sherwin was suddenly startled, he didn't understand what Arik was saying and asked again: "Sorry, Manager, will you only accept these two kittens?"

"That's right." Arik didn't look at Sherwin, he continued to look interrupting Sherwin's words.

down at the document.

"Sorry, Manager. They're kittens, you can't just accept those two kittens, we have to…"

"Sherwin, how long have you been here?" Suddenly Arik spoke up, interrupting Sherwin's words.

Sherwin also found it difficult to understand: "About… 2 months."

"Um… 2 months… long enough to know the hidden laws of this place."

"Heh?! Does the animal shelter also have an underground law?" Sherwin asked.

"That's right." Arik put down the document in his hand, then leaned back in his chair, his arms crossed over his chest. He looked at Sherwin and said, "Sherwin, I hired you here for two reasons."

"First, you are the best veterinary student I have ever seen. I will not deny it, you are very talented, your love for animals is also very beautiful."

"Secondly, your situation is also… not good. I remember that you have no parents and a younger sister who is in college, right?"

Sherwin heard that and nodded.

Arik continued: "What is your monthly salary here?"

"About 3,000 dollars."

"Um, do you think it is a large or small amount?"

"That's a lot of money for a recent graduate like me, sir." Sherwin made no secret of it.

"It's enough for me to pay for my sister's rent, living expenses and school fees."

"Um…" Arik nodded, his gaze fixed on Sherwin and asked: "So… where do you think the money came from?"

Hearing Arik's question, Sherwin was suddenly startled. He thought for a moment and then said: "From… donors and animal foundations."

"Pkts.. Hahahaha… Sherwin you are such an innocent person, hahahaha…" Arik suddenly burst out laughing.

"Heh?! Isn't what I said true?"

Arik shrugged and said, "Yes, it's true but it's not enough. Sherwin, if the money for our operation comes from the sources you just mentioned, do you know how much your salary will be?"

Sherwin thought, then he shook his head.

Arik smiled contemptuously, then he raised his right hand, the tip of his index finger touched the tip of his thumb, forming an O and said: "It's Zero! No Salary, understand?"
