I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Mr. Wuchang, since you can determine that this child is a living person, perhaps there is a way to know his origins?" asked Mei Carlos.

Regardless of whether the vengeful spirit is related to Grusel, it is always a good thing to find out why he is here.

What if he, though unrelated to Grussell, was the symbol of another disaster?

"Just call me Wuchang. There is a holy place in the Great Wasteland that was blessed by the Elf Queen and can purify evil spirits."

"There is no such place in the Great Wilderness..."

As soon as Wu Chang finished speaking, Fan Yin subconsciously refuted, but was frightened by a sharp look and quickly changed the topic: "Ah, it seems that there is such a place."

"In that case, can I let you handle the vengeful spirit energy? I will pay you the corresponding reward."

"Of course you can, but before that, it would be best for Lady Catherina to take a look at the memory of this vengeful spirit."

Wuchang readily agreed to Meicarlos' request and also suggested starting from other aspects. After all, the soul remained in the world because of obsession, and it was hard to imagine what had happened that a child of a few years old would become like this.

"Yeah." Catherine seemed to have made a great decision. After all, she almost died because of reading Luo Shiqi's memory not long ago.

She gently touched the ghost's forehead which was covered with bruises and mud, and began to release the magic of life for all things. A large amount of information flooded into her mind. Soon, her brows were furrowed and her expression became more solemn.

She said in a deep voice: "This child is called Serbia, and he is a victim of the riots."

"Oh my God..." Even though they were mentally prepared, everyone still gasped when they heard the news.

Manjushage even speculated that some villain brutally killed Serbia in order to achieve his own goals and made him into a vengeful spirit. She never thought that he was actually a victim of the disaster twenty years ago!

Fortunately, when they caught him, they thought the vengeful spirit was related to Grusel and wanted to find some clues from him, so they didn't treat him as a monster directly.

"Excuse me, how did this child become a vengeful spirit?" Mei Carlos clenched his hands and asked with his eyes lowered.

Liuguang City, the victim of the great riot, these two words combined together always make people involuntarily think of the evil Yangcaique family of that year.

Although a lot of time has passed and Mei Carlos has proved herself to be a qualified leader with her actions, the evil done by the Yang Caique family in the past is no less.

Even though twenty years had passed, she still ran into people like Tessis and Serbia from time to time.

Every time this happened, Mekalos would feel ashamed of his background.

In order to survive these years, she had to accept the name of Yang Caique, put herself in front of the public, and let everyone know that she had the blessing of Yan Fei, the Holy Spirit of Fire.

In this way, no matter how much others hate the Yangcaique family, they cannot vent their anger on her.

The real villains had already been burned to ashes in a fire. The flames didn't even have time to destroy the family of the magpies. A gorgon turned everyone into stone statues and then shattered them completely, leaving no ashes.

People could perhaps tell themselves that Mekalos had already been punished, that she had lost almost everything overnight, and that she should not bear the sin anymore.

But the Gorgon couldn't care less, and who could expect to reason with a monster?

Her survival must have a lot to do with the disappearance of the Holy Spirit of Fire.

People did hate the Yangcaique family, which had once been full of evil, but because of the protection of the Holy Fire Spirit Yan Fei, they were unable to transfer this hatred to Meikalos.

The public might be reasonable and let bygones be bygones, but Carlos has worked hard alone for so many years and has seen the sadness of the public, and he has come to understand more and more what a wrong environment he was born in.

Although it has not been confirmed yet, it is likely that Grussell was a victim of the brutal rule of the Polynesian Finch.

Being retaliated against by such a person had already shaken Mekalos's heart.

Who would have thought that the shadow left by the family seemed to be everywhere? Even though Thesis didn't even remember who he was, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart just by hearing the name of Liuguang City. The vengeful spirit Serbia had been tortured for more than 20 years.

Faced with such a group of people, how could she resist revenge with peace of mind and survive at all costs?

Just as Mekalos was in deep self-doubt, Katherina's voice interrupted her thoughts: "Serbia is a newborn baby after the fall of the Yangcai Que family. Although it is worth being happy that it has nothing to do with Lord Mekalos, being born in that era is itself a misfortune."

When the riot broke out, many people fled to the Great Wilderness for refuge, but only a very small number of people successfully arrived and survived, and the vast majority of people died on the way to escape.

Anyone who has experienced that era knows that during the great riots there was no order at all. There were often mountains of corpses on the roadside, and the number of victims far exceeded the number of living people. Even the most prosperous royal capital in the world was like hell on earth.

Serbia was a child born in that context.

His father suffered from a leg disease and had difficulty working in the fields. His mother had just given birth and was very weak. It was impossible for the family to choose to flee under the circumstances at that time. It was tantamount to seeking death.

But just waiting like this won't work.

Serbia's mother was thinking that maybe she could borrow some money and food from wealthy and kind relatives to get through the most difficult period, and then make other plans once the situation for her and her children stabilized.

This is really the worst of the worst options, the only solution available.

Not to mention whether that relative is kind enough to help his poor relatives in such a difficult time, even if he is really so kind, it is still a question whether Serbia's mother can return safely.

But doing nothing is tantamount to waiting to die. You're going to die anyway, so you might as well give it a try.

And so, Serbia's mother set out with little hope.

He and his father just waited at home. Although there were constant disputes outside, fortunately, Serbia's mother knew a little magic. She hid the traces of her own cabin, which could reduce the damage in the disaster to a certain extent.

Yet even with all her careful considerations, Serbia's mother took too much time.

In the midst of a disaster, food has become more scarce than gold. What's more, no one in the family, young or old, has any ability to survive. Their family is poor, and the stored food had been almost consumed in the year Serbia was born.

Even though his wife might have met with death long ago, the Serbian father could not leave his newborn son alone. He dragged his lame leg out of the house to find food and never came back.

Serbia waited and waited. He had just learned to speak and walked unsteadily. After his father left, he was so scared that he could only cry for the first whole day, but no one responded.

The child is in the growing period, and if he doesn’t have enough food, he won’t even have the energy to cry.

He tried hard to find anything edible in the house, gnawing on the corners of the table, digging in the ground, and even fell from a high cupboard, his small body half dead on the spot.

He just wanted to survive and relied on his instinct to find hope for survival.

But children from poor families are prone to dying, let alone at this time when disasters are happening frequently and Serbia has no parents to take care of them, so how can they possibly survive?

He was so hungry that he even went to dig out the manure pit, but in the end he could not escape the fate of a miserable death.

Serbia, who lost his life, did not stop there. He was still waiting for his parents to return.

The baby's body was filled with strong obsession. Refusing to accept his cruel fate, Grussell turned into a ghost, searching for his parents everywhere.

In fact, my father was not too far away at the time. He soon found some rotten fruits and a few pieces of dry bread among the corpses.

The taste is not great, but it can last for a while.

Just as he was happily holding a pile of dry food and preparing to go home happily, a luxurious light carriage sped past and ruthlessly knocked Serbia's father away.

In his attempt to protect the little food he had, he accidentally broke his leg.

The other party seemed to be in a hurry to escape and didn't care who it hit. The carriage sped away into the distance.
