The Shu army was defeated, and the Cao army stormed into the city, wielding blood-stained swords and spears.

The leader rode a tall horse, but only had one eye, and his voice sounded like a booming bell.

"Slaughter the city!!!"

Thousands of soldiers chanted these two words, like a death spell, deeply engraved in the hearts of every Shu citizen.

All the people panicked and scattered, fleeing in all directions.

But they were powerless, neither capable of fighting with axes and hooks nor possessing the speed of the generals and soldiers.

When a young strong man was about to reach the south gate, an arrow pierced through his heart from behind, and he fell to the ground.

The fastest runners died first.

Women were stripped naked in the streets and subjected to the soldiers' abuse until they died.

Children were impaled on spears, hanging in the air, with blood pouring out.

I stood there in the middle of the street like a foolish idiot, watching countless people die before me, their blood splattering all over me.

From each deceased person, something seemed to emanate faintly.

All of them converged in one direction, where there were many young people dressed strangely, with an air of immortality.

Who are they?

Are those things that drifted out from the dead souls?

Do they devour human souls?!

In that moment, facing death, I felt a deeper fear.
