Chapter 238: The Witch  

Beneath the narration of the boy in the cellar, Renji looked again at the corresponding mural.

 

The mural of the second story was noticeably longer than the first, composed of several panels. The first panel depicted a backdrop of... a junkyard? This wasn't an ordinary junkyard, but one specifically for discarding outdated or broken androids.

 

Amidst the mountain-like pile of steel rubbish, one could see the figure of a discarded, scrapped domestic maid android. Her synthetic skin was mostly torn, revealing the old circuit boards and wires inside. This made her appear half-human, half-mechanical, devoid of any aesthetic appeal, even ugly. The only thing identifying her model, the maid's uniform, was already stained with mud, dirty and tattered.
